Holy shit Biden just pulled a masterful end around on SS

[edisdead]

He had them calling him a liar regarding the republican plans for SS and then rope a doped them i to saying “well we must all agree to no cuts to SS now stand up for seniors and show them”


Fucking brilliant!

[cayugafalls]

1. You beat me to it...that was freaking brilliant.

However, McCarthy ass was stuck in the past...sitting there like a mushroom

[edisdead]

4. pretty sure I saw a chuckle on Kevs face

He had that whole side of the room AND Kevvy-boy at the end of a fork.

A GREAT night to be a Democrat!

I also like the way he took so much time on his way out, greeting and shaking hands and chit-chatting with everybody who wanted a moment in the afterglow with him, that Poor Sarah Huckabee Sanders was kept waiting for quite awhile. I wonder how many viewers stayed tuned for her "side" of it.

Hopefully not that many. What little I saw as I was getting my hot tea was NOT anything to write home about.

It was NOT what anyone would call a “star turn.”

[KS Toronado]

40. Switched channels when it was her turn

[Tommymac]

51. Listened to about 2 sentences and immediately turned the TV off.

I don't have time to waste sorting garbage.

[colorado_ufo]

53. I listened to 3 minutes and actually fell asleep!

Upright in a rocking chair! Meanwhile, I was glued to the broadcast when Biden was speaking. He was absolutely incredible! And Harris did an awesome job of cheerleading behind him.

[DemocraticPatriot]

26. I saw that! LOL

[relayerbob]

37. Yep

[sprinkleeninow]

42. Kev the

🍄

😂

[Lemonwurst]

2. That was indeed masterful

Where do they go from here? Oh yeah, just lie - don’t believe your eyes and ears.

[FeelingBlue]

3. Yes, he DID!!!!

So PROUD of him!!!!

[emulatorloo]

5. He backed them into the corner and they backed down. Masterful!

[WheelWalker]

7. Joe's like, "Here... hold my beer." He just DESTROYED the lunatic right fringe

in that debt limit-Medicare/SS exchange. Joe's a ninja at debate.

[Deep State Witch]

8. Dark Brandon is on Fire!

Dark Brandon is tearing them a new one!

[cilla4progress]

9. He's so good at this.

He's been at it awhile.

[mtngirl47]

10. Brilliant!

[Politicub]

11. It was magnificent

Masterfully played, Mr. President!

[alfredo]

12. TIC, troll in chief. Tis a thing of beauty

[Sogo]

13. Exactly!!!!!

Masterful is the perfect word!!

I'm so proud of him!!!!!!!!!

[wnylib]

14. It was brilliant! I am so proud of how he handled it.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

15. There is a large advantage to having spent 30 years in Congress.

The other side thinks he's like their guy, who had ZERO governing experience and boy did it show!

[Greybnk48]

16. It was brilliant! I jumped out of my chair! n/t

[iluvtennis]

17. Yes, it was brilliant! Bravo Biden.

[Trueblue Texan]

19. I think he made a similar maneuver on something about the border...

...I. can't remember exactly... but after all the jeering and yelling he told the Rethugs, "You got it!" I think he trapped them into agreeing to something about the border, but I can't recall the details. I think I'd gone to get another glass of champagne. Watched it out on the patio because it's a lovely night tonight.

OK. I admit, I was not a big fan of Biden. I thought he was out of touch and too old. I thought he was clueless about the evils the Rethugs were will to go to to maintain power. But the man has far surpassed any expectations I'd had for my pick for all the candidates. He was brilliant, amazing, and super effective tonight! Maybe his superpower, besides his decades of experience, is that he is so often underestimated. I admit. I was completely incorrect in my primary assessment of the man.

[edisdead]

21. agreed

Warren was my original candidate but when Joe got the nom I did think well maybe he is the candidate that we need to bridge from Trumpass to something else. But he has been kicking ass the whole way. Only problem is that the media hasn’t trumpeted it the way the did if Donny dipshit manages to say his own name correctly.

[calimary]

27. That actually may be his mightiest weapon in a very large bag of tricks.

He's been at this kind of thing for DECADES. He knows ALL the maneuvers and strategies and, yes, the tricks. And he understands his own style and how to work it effectively. He combines an aw-shucks vibe with a Mohammed Ali punch. And he's so subtle you never see it coming.

I'm just glad he's on OUR side.

[DemocraticPatriot]

28. I was a big fan of Joe Biden in 1988...

He was railroaded out of the race for the nomination that year--

but perhaps his time had not yet come...

[Recursion]

20. Twitter is full of GOP accounts pledging not to cut SS or Medicare

He lead them into that box canyon like he was Butch Cassidy

[DemocraticPatriot]

30. Maybe they did not check with Rick Scott

about what their position was supposed to be on that issue ???


Well, most of the polls show that a majority of the voters actually agree with the Democrats, on the issues....


they only vote for Republicans if they are stupid about their own self interests....

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

45. It seems many of them feel that above all else their

self-interest is best served by, "owning the libs."

They're so misinformed that they don't even know what's happening in the real world. One thing they think they know for sure is that Dems are evil.

The policies they agree with, they believe it's the Rs that are for them rather than the opposite truth.

Fascists are so damn good at propaganda.

[patphil]

22. This was the finest moment of Biden's Presidency...so far.

I expect even more to come, despite the Republicans in the House.

[edisdead]

23. Him exposing them as frauds could

Him exposing them as frauds could be what propels him to four more years.

[DemocraticPatriot]

31. MORE OF THAT!!!

And the Republican House is certain to hand him plenty of opportunities---

(as the Republicans in congress helped out Bill Clinton--- only much more-so this time...)

[lastlib]

25. It's good when our guy eats the howler-monkey caucus' lunch....

...and hands them the empty lunch sack!

Marginal Traitor-Greene got major pwned!

[calimary]

29. OMG!!! "The Howler-monkey Caucus"!

Dear God, that's exactly what they look like, especially when pictured with their mouths open!

They've been describing what Biden did as "rope-a-dope" on MSNBC. And that's precisely what it is.

But hey, if the bad guys insist on continuing to under-estimate him, I'm just fine with that!

[judesedit]

46. Lol. Marginal Taylor-Greene. Good one

[Talitha]

32. Joe handed them their heads on a platter.

And they didn't even realize it!

Badass Brandon was on fire tonight.

[Richard D]

33. I was watching it all unfold . .

and the brilliance of getting the repubs to not only agree with him but give him a standing ovation was something that will go down as utterly masterful.

[asiliveandbreathe]

34. One of the Meisalis bros. On Meidas Touch called it like laying traps, magas fall in..right on

Cue...another said, like pouring salt on a slug...

[yorkster]

35. Born for this he was. I want to watch it again to savor

the skillful lassoing job.

Great speech,great night.

[relayerbob]

36. Yes, absolutely brilliant

Lured the MAGAts down the rabbit hole and slammed the door on them. Stupid fucks didn't have a clue.

Probably the best SOTU address I've ever seen in my 65 years

[Historic NY]

39. Old sleepy Joe showed them whats what...

[FlyingPiggy]

41. That was pretty damn amazing! Brilliantly done!

[onetexan]

44. THIS!!☝️

That damn mtg and her trashy behavior is disgusting as heck, on display for all of the world to see. She is the epitome of deplorable, sorry to say.

[NowISeetheLight]

43. Ads

Every one of those Magats are now on video SUPPORTING no cuts to Social Security. If they turn around and vote against it now they’re exposed as liars. Brilliant.

[The Jungle 1]

47. Did he plan that move???

It was brilliant either way.

[ismnotwasm]

48. That's what I want to know!

He must have known the GOP are undisciplined and unruly, he hit the right note, and they reacted. He handled it perfectly

[edisdead]

50. I heard commentary thinking it was planned

I heard commentary thinking it was planned. On CNN they were talking about how there have been interruptions during the SOTU more frequently and it seemed as though this speech was designed to get a reaction from republicans. They also said that Biden was smart to address issues where the republicans perceive him as “soft”.

[The Jungle 1]

52. Either way he showed the entire republican party the back of his hand. While smiling!!!

If he did it off the cuff that is some solid political work.
Tell me again about how Biden is old and feeble. Every time Biden's age comes up that clip needs to play

[CaptainTruth]

49. Yes, brilliant!

[TomSlick]

54. Tell me again how President Biden is senile.

He was very quick on his feet and nonplussed by the noisy MAGAts. It was a master class on undressing the opposition.

Senile my Aunt Fanny!

[Lunabell]

55. I LOVE YOU, JOE BIDEN!!

My pugilistic president comes out swinging at these lying traitors!! Go get 'em, Dark Brandon!!
