Not since Amber Heard’s whacked out multi-personality testimony in the Johnny Depp case have I seen such a whiplash-fast change of emotional state from moment to moment. it was fascinating if not frightening. This woman is part of our GOVERNMENT? Does she seem like she should be making policy for our country? I wouldn’t trust her to make me a cup of tea.

Katie Britt is a disgrace.

I think he did a great job. After seeing Biden‘s gaffs in Pennsylvania following the state of the Union address, it’s again apparent that Biden has no clue what’s going on or what he’s saying. Before the state of the union, his talented support team was able to hide him away for a week and help him memorize and repeat the speech dozens of times over and over until it began to sound coherent. They helped him prepare for being interrupted and practiced trying to confuse him and making him get lost, etc. When he made a mistake, they made him go back and deliver it again and again to the point to where he actually was able to appear partially coherent during the speech. It’s similar to teaching a small child to memorize long poem with big words. They don’t necessarily know what they’re saying, but with enough practice, they’re able to deliver.

But Biden fucking killed it last night! The rhetoric that he has dementia is insane and I highly doubt the people making such criticisms could perform the way he had for the entire hour.

I am confident that if you gave Trump that opportunity, he would have talked in circles, repeating the same tired, incoherent, psychobabble that he opens with in the first 10 minutes. And 10 minutes is being generous, realistically it'd be the first 5 minutes of his speech on repeat but I digress.

Oh, and Mike Johnson has to have one of the most punchable looking faces I have ever seen. What a smug asshole.

I kind of look at this like professional wrestling. You hear all this bluster between two foes. After the match they’re both out having a beer together. Who gets screwed over? Us.

Just pdf a copy of the speech and post it to X, FB, mail so that Americans don’t have to hear the Dem and GOP drama queens.

I watched SOTU on ABC, and at the moment Biden described the parts that Republicans had negotiated into the border deal (the one Trump tanked after months of negotiations because he didn’t want Biden to have the political win) it cut to Lankford’s face. Looks like the dude has been through a lot. (Lankford was the lead Republican negotiator and a real conservative, but also highly principled). Biden lays out everything Lankford negotiated into the bill, and Lankford whispers “it’s true.”

I don’t know, it was a small moment, but very poignant to me.

A moment where two people of integrity on opposite sides of the aisle shared a moment where they could both agree on facts and truth, and the truth came before politics. We need more Lankfords in DC.

Not too far a jump from Kraft

A.) The man was all over the place. In the middle of one topic he threw in a bit about trans Americans and having their back. And then while he was talking about the military he had two sentences about needing to harness AI and ban AI voice impersonations and then went right back to talking about supporting the military while they are abroad or at home.

B.) Openly reminding people he's a fan of big corporations and saying, "I'm a capitalist" is just such a big ick.

C.) He wasn't just pro-israel, he was professing his love for Israel!

Curious minds are inquiring....

Anyone else get the vibe that Katie Britt went to school to be an actress because she thought she really had talent, but the people around her didn’t tell her the truth? That she really sucks?

Not sure if I just watched an SNL skit or the GOP response. Soccer Mom on steroids.

Personally, yes. I graduated college. Got a job in the field that I studied for. Last week bought a new truck. I work 4 days a week with every weekend being a three day weekend. Whereas three years ago I was still working a warehouse job to pay for college, driving a car that could break down at any moment. Working 6plus days. So yeah, I think I am better off. I know that some of y’all may not be as lucky as I have been and I understand that.

Also known as bad acting..

This woman is a terrible actor. She’s like in an acting class monologue. Like a painful Toastmasters’s event.

OMG. She has me laughing hysterically. She seems like a bad actress doing a commercial for PETA

Seriously?

This is your rebuttal?

Ish.

‘Nuff said.

P.S. You made this. Own it.
