What was your favorite part of last night's SOTU speech?

Mine was the beginning where he laid out that our democracy is in danger and tied it to his "predecessor" (cheato ), and the insurrectionists in the room.

Of course it was an embarrassment of riches for us. So many memorable moments.

... very rousing! He's truly a patriotic President... I saw someone on social media say his speech was "dark and alarming." I thought Biden always went back to an optimistic foundation. The Republican response was "dark and alarming."

since some in the public and the media don't seem to be aware of the real dangers posed by cheato. Truth telling is not always going to be comforting. Some critics are delicate snowflakes that can't handle it, but that's not Joe's problem!

what those do-nothing Party of Putin said, They were not ready for the truth from President Biden. Plus they label him as "old and demented" . I think they should look at their cult thug POS.

Just fuck them, I didn't see them getting up. What a bunch of cowards.

tRump will be shredded by short targeted clips extracted from this sincere and very strong delivery by Biden.

Does RW media dominate? This must not happen!

She looked beyond proud.

OK, and I loved it when he clapped back at the hecklers, too.

Plus the way that whole sequence was set up. He baited them just by mentioning the immigration bill and then he pounced with specifics when they jeered. Thousands of new border patrol hires, enough additional judges to adjudicate undocumented people within six weeks of their arrival, investments in technology that would reduce the flow of fentanyl into our country. Boom, boom, boom and cut to Lankford. A political home run IMO.

Offhand I like the big thumbs he put into the so called "supreme" court's eyes best
