That was one of the more interesting SOTU addresses I’ve seen. Personally, I think he said most of the things that needed to be said, and he said them reasonably well. I’m sure he’s going to get some flack for attacking Trump directly (though not by name), but I was frankly glad to see it. Doing otherwise makes it seem like it’s just your typical election/political disagreements, but we’re past that now.

    Wtf lol. I could not disagree more. He looks like a sleepy skeleton who they woke up from a nap.

        No, I heard him tripping up in his words too lol. Maybe I didn’t have my /politics blinders on, sorry.

            Yeah he did a whole lot of finger pointing and not a lot of explaining the actual state of the union in my opinion, but I mostly skimmed it. Did he mention that under his watch women lost their bodily autonomy, and that the US produced more oil and gas than any country to ever exist?

            Edit: Did he say anything about structuring arms deals so that he could go behind congress’ back to sell a country engaged in genocide more weapons to engage in that genocide?

              Wow, that’s rich. Biden and the Democrats have been fighting against that very thing. It’s being done in Republican controlled states, supported by a Republican majority Congress. Yes, he talked about it.

              It’s like punching him in the nose and then saying you won’t vote for him because he’s got blood on his face.

                obviously the republicans are more to blame for the roe v wade repeal, but Democrats have blood on their hands too. It’s been half a century since 1974 and the Democrats have had many majorities and presidencies since then. At no point did they pass some sort of abortion bill.

                and joe biden has been a leading figure in the democratic party for nearly as long

                  The majority of Americans felt Roe was the right stance - that abortions should be legal with restrictions, and that states should have a say in those restrictions. Stocking SCOTUS with conservatives (in part by refusing to confirm a judge nominated by a Democrat), and then overturning Roe wasn’t something most realized needed to be fought against.

                  And, regardless, you posted the thing about it happening on his watch as an argument against him - which means you prefer the ones they’re fighting against, the ones who are actively trying to take away a woman’s ability to oversee her own healthcare. How does that make sense?

                    You are losing rights no matter who sits in the Whitehouse lol. Your country was never the propagandized version of what you want it to be, but it’s somehow getting worse.

          He’s had a stutter his whole life and he was talking faster than necessary.

              The only times he slipped while speaking it was because of his stutter and trying to go too fast.

                Yes. Old people can’t speak as fast or well as they used to. This isn’t rocket surgery.

      Was that before or after he stared down the Magat trolls and beyond-obviously-corrupted supreme court justices to their faces?
