My sinking feeling is gone! I'll leave it up, but this speech was epic!

Not about Joe or his ability. But about these freaks in the Maga caucus. They truly know no bottom. I think they're gonna make "you lie" look quaint.

I might have to bow out early. As a childhood victim of bullying, I have a low tolerance for that kind of thing.

[Demsrule86]

1. Who cares?

[senseandsensibility]

2. Well, you didn't have to reply so....

[Runningdawg]

6. I do. Their BS needs to be nipped in the bud. Biden should call on the Sgt of Arms to remove them.

[bdamomma]

19. Exactly

just remove them. Mitch probably will be sleeping. Also, I wonder if Pastor Johnson will keep his bullies in line. Wishful thinking.

[Duncanpup]

25. Moses 2.0 is on thin ice

He’s on the outs With the freedumb caucus so he’s got nothing to lose in trying.
Pastor Johnson 😂

[brooklynite]

40. The Sgt at Arms doesn't work for the Executive Branch

[Rebl2]

65. Agree

[RandySF]

3. Don't let those motherfuckers bully you into not watching.

It's exactly what they want.

[senseandsensibility]

43. Thanks for the pep talk

[TheBlackAdder]

44. Yep. It's all a mind game. That's all they got.

[OAITW r.2.0]

4. I don't think so. Mikey made it a point to warn off any attempted disruptions.

Most will heed it, but Gaetz, Boebert, and Greene could do something really dumb, like a group moon of Biden during the address. That will show him!

[Runningdawg]

7. Don't mistake CYA for genuine concern.

[TwilightZone]

18. Oddly enough, I think he's concerned about his image.

Kind of funny, considering, but I think he might genuinely want them not to disrupt. It reflects poorly on them and on him.

I also don't think it will stop them, but we'll see.

[OAITW r.2.0]

28. Mike is scared shitless about the antics that certain House Republicans are capable of. But those folks hate

Mike anyway for agreeing to keep the Government operating. so this group moon action could happen. Perhaps they will have a collective MAGA to share, something like T | R U | M P | !

[dmr]

51. ROFLMAO "Something like T R U M P !"

[magicarpet]

11. Maybe Bang-bang Boebert could flash her ample rubber boobs for the country to oggle over ?

[rubbersole]

46. Been there. Done that.

[EndlessWire]

27. Are you sure he called for them to be nice?

Maybe it's just the opposite.

[Demsrule86]

5. Sorry about your childhood bullying...meant who cares what the MAGA assholes do.

I was bullied too...but being a Navy brat with three brothers...I merely punched them! They left me alone...there were five kids in our family. I have a sister too.

[senseandsensibility]

10. Thanks for your explanation

[calikid]

49. I also had three brothers and one sister, being the middle child

and the smallest of the group I had to learn to fight back, and boy did I! They still to this day won't try to goad me, they learned their lessons and are very scared of what I'm capable of.

[Srkdqltr]

8. Do we have our bingo cards.

I hope they don't.

[badhair77]

9. I share your anxiety.

I don’t trust MTG to act civil; I don’t think it’s possible.

[andym]

12. Opportunity for Joe to throw a few well-prepared zingers

Hope Joe is ready.

[honest.abe]

13. I know what you mean but I think Joe is totally prepared for whatever nonsense the Gopers do tonight.

Joe will make them look like fools.

[MOMFUDSKI]

14. After last year's SOTU we learned Joe can

handle a rowdy crowd. He’s got this! Enjoy the show.

[agingdem]

15. I want them to shriek and squawk

like last year's State of Union...MAGA are are classless hate-fueled cave dwellers...Joe handled them with dignity and humor

[XanaDUer2]

16. Joe can handle them nt

[TwilightZone]

17. I'm not going to watch it, in part for that reason.

I'll read the transcript and the analysis. That's better for my blood pressure.

[TSExile]

23. Same.

I will watch the post-SOTU analysis. If I watch live, I will be throwing shoes through my TV...and I can't afford to replace my TV!!

[getagrip_already]

20. I never watch live... ever

Just not that into all the media hype. You have to listen to all the commentary, and pre speach bullshit, the who is sitting with who.

Blyat, to steal a Russian term.

I'll just catch it later. Much less drama.

In the meantime, I have a very rare for me adult beverage, and will find something on Netflix once I figure out where the fur babies are at.

The problem with me and Netflix is it takes so long to choose a flick I get too tired to watch it.

Sigh. I wish politics were like that.

[walkingman]

21. You are 100% correct. The GOP is full of cowards and bullies. However, this

is nothing new it is just amplified by the acceptance of bad behavior by the WPP (White people's party) and the religious community. However, believe it or not they represent the minority....I think, I hope.

America has become almost unrecognizable and our tolerance for lies, bullying, and basic civility has exploded.

Biden is doing a good job and has responded to public pressure to help people. He is a honorable man and although is not the perfect candidate (who is) deserves his moment of celebration, he earned it.

There are some nasty folks out there but do not be intimidated by their BS. ☮

[senseandsensibility]

22. I'm hoping that they will make themselves look bad

Self awareness is not their strength to put it mildly.

[bdamomma]

24. If there is

any outbursts I hope they show Nancy Pelosi, she will give them her best evil look to STFU.

[Duncanpup]

26. Do what you need to preserve you.

[onecaliberal]

29. I won't be watching either. Husband is going to try.

[Submariner]

30. The Master-at-arms should be given a paintball gun

to knock three toes and the carrot cuffer back in their seat when needed. I bet some repubs would enjoy it too.

[a kennedy]

36. Love that idea, ball 'em and have it be oil based paint......

Great idea.

[SoFlaBro]

31. Stupid MAGA motherfuckers will fuck up and look like animated dog shit tonight.

[Mike Nelson]

32. Well...

... the MAGA freaks could act like vulgar creeps... they will please diehard Trump fans and turn off everyone else!

[ariadne0614]

33. I almost wish Dark Brandon would have the cameras turned on the most obnoxious disrupter.

It would be fun to watch them squirm.

[bluestarone]

34. Are weapons allowed in the House?

I hope not. Hell not sure anymore, with this bunch of crazies.

[All Mixed Up]

35. MAGA folks don't concern me tonight. The pro-Hamas protesters are a far bigger threat to tonight's speech.

[Aristus]

37. I haven't watched the SOTU since Barack Obama.

Trump's speeches were a clownish shitshow, and every time I see Joe Biden make a speech, my heart goes out to him watching him pause, re-group, and fight his stutter. He's a remarkable man, and he deserves a better House for his SOTU appearances.

We have become such a shitty nation...

[mobeau69]

38. He needs to use some old Sam Kinison replies to hecklers.

[nolabear]

39. It would be interesting to see Joe turn to Johnson

and say “Mr. Speaker, get your people in order!” Or Mitch, but I suspect the trouble from the house if there is any.

[Basic LA]

41. I heard it's even cringier in the room.

Because the space is smaller than appears on TV.

[Cha]

42. I just wanted posted on

Another thread I hope it goes Smoothly for PJB and Not for the Howlers.

Expect the Unexpected..

💙🌊🇺🇸🕯️🕊️

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

45. I'm not!

It'll be another master class in political gamesmanship! Dark Brandon is a master in this type of situation.

[paleotn]

47. So what? They only hurt themselves.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

48. Tiedrich can vaccinate you against the MAGAts...

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1016373917

[senseandsensibility]

52. Love that!

Hubby is always quoting Tiedrich to me. About the only politics he can stomach right now. And I might be following his lead soon.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

55. Just picture them as Handy Oakley and Mister Weird-Ass Porn-Obsessed Speaker. :D

[bluestarone]

50. Just had scary thought.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are together. If both were shot, the speaker of the house would be in control?

[NoMoreRepugs]

53. I've had to stop watching events like this because I've thrown things at my tv in the past.

[OAITW r.2.0]

54. Joe has got this.

He's got a real record to run on. But he's going to lay some hard facts on what the Republicans aren't doing to help all Americans.

[ancianita]

56. Watch with the sound off and closed captioning on. You'll feel better.

This is the whole of government being witness to any chaos babies who are already held in low esteem by their own. No one came to listen to anyone but our President Biden.

Hang in there. Biden's gonna be badass!

[Upthevibe]

57. senseandsensibility....

I'm watching the "pre-show" now with Rachel and crew. I don't think I'll be able to watch it live either....

[ancianita]

58. Look at that MAGNIFICENT CABINET! Even rethugs are feeling the greatness.

[senseandsensibility]

59. Thanks for commiserating

I don't usually wimp out about things like this, but I might be reaching my saturation point. Do what you have to do to feel positive and constructive, my friend. I'll try to do the same.

[ancianita]

60. It's been such hugging and pageantry so far! This is a great night. To see a powerhouse of

history right now, speaking to all of government, it just feels like living democracy!

And he starts off with a joke! What a president!

[senseandsensibility]

62. I'm loving it so far ancianta!

[ancianita]

66. See?? Now you can exhale.

YOU CAN'T KEEP BADASS BIDEN DOWN!

[senseandsensibility]

68. I think I was having last minute jitters when I posted this

and bullying really gets to me, but so far it couldn't have gone better! I will leave this up to show how wrong I was.

[ancianita]

73. Understandable. Democrats have to put up with too much negative hype. But look at how

far we've not just cleaned up the usual mess, but have transformed this country's divisiveness to be more united in hope. Joe Biden is a great political win-win president. And he just rolled over the yelling chaos babies! Called them out on their bowing to their haggard criminal leader.

Joe has never disappointed.

I hope you're feeling that we're going to be okay.

[LiberalFighter]

61. I think it will better than you think. He has a way with talking.

Even speaker johnson has nodded a few times and clapped.

He isn't a Barack Obama but has his own style that works for him.

[senseandsensibility]

70. You're right

He's got them in the palm of his hand!

[cab67]

63. Your point is well taken.

So far, though, they've been sullen more than abusive.

[senseandsensibility]

67. Yes

Pouting and sulking is preferable to heckling. But the speech is so good that there is nothing to heckle.

[cab67]

74. MTG, of course, had to prove me wrong.

Isn't there a rule against wearing a hat in the House chamber?

And if there isn't, there really should be one against chewing gum in the way a goat chews its cud. A whole lot of R's are doing just that.

[Wednesdays]

64. He's opening a can of whoopass on them

So you may want to re-evaluate your thoughts on their power.

[samnsara]

69. yeah I know.. Im recording it and will watch it like I do a Seahawks game...

..only IF they win...

[senseandsensibility]

71. They (he) won!

It was a blowout!

[amuse bouche]

72. I'm watching

It is going great 1 hour in

[Initech]

75. Marjorie Greene can go eat the steamiest bag of dog shit.

So can Luna, Gaetz, Boebert, Gosar, all those assholes. This is most definitely Joe's night!
