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.

(10,943 posts)... 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."

(69,629 posts)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.

(41,200 posts)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.
