One of the best opposition presentations I've seen from either party in my four decades of following politics.

1. Here it is, folks.

7. Thank you for posting this.

I appreciate it.

2. Indeed- I was impressed by her words and demeanor

The contrast between her and Trump was stark.

3. it was solid, hit the key points, certainly not "crazy" as the fucking pedoPOTUS says

4. You heard it here....

….Kelly/Spanberger 2028!

And I’m a BLUE Virginian.

6. I actually told my spouse that this morning

ie I could see that as the ticket in 2028. Kelly is too conservative for me personally, but I think he would be a good President. She would b a good one, too.

5. She did fine.

It was okay. This is sort of like when I read the comments from people about Biden being the best president of their lifetime. We have a few people who were born under FDR. It just feels forced, like the comments about Spanberger. She did fine. It was not in any way monumental.

8. I was born at the tail end of Johnson

and I think Biden was the best president of my lifetime. He had a microscopic house majority and a tied senate and he still got an immense amount done in those two years. He also help save the Ukraine from falling. Israel was a mess to be sure but otherwise it is hard to argue he didn't do the best that could be done.

9. That's great.

Biden is No. 3 on my list, though I was born in the late 70s so it’s a slightly smaller sample size.

10. Forced?

Such an odd thing to say. It's simply an opinion.

[BannonsLiver]

11. And you know what they say about opinions...

[LetMyPeopleVote]

12. It was a great speech

13. Wonderful speech. Spangenberger did us proud.

I don't remember another response to the SOTU that was so impressive.

Of course some of those were the likes of Katie Britt and Bobby Jindal.

Authentic, natural, forcefully, with the right tone. Positive, even flashes of joy. And joy is a powerful act of resistance to fascism. They want us terrified, depressed, demoralized. She showed that we are not cowed.
