Rather than trying to
characterize the Times’ article, let it speak for itself: (Biden)
“exhibited his stamina, his vitality, his capacity and, yes, his
umbrage. Defiant and feisty, he dispensed with the conventions of the
format to directly take on former President Donald J. Trump and
attempted to make the election a referendum on his predecessor rather
than himself. Mr. Biden shouted his lines, clearly intending to use
volume to demonstrate vigor. The prepared text had 80 exclamation points
in it and he surely added more on his own as he went along.”
Many agree with this assessment, though perhaps not in the manner in which it was intended.
Of
course Biden also referenced J6 with the usual misinformation calling
the event an “insurrection” and those arrested as “insurrectionists.”
For what it’s worth, none of the 950 people arrested for their roles in
the J6 riot has been charged by the Justice Department with
insurrection, not even former President Trump.
CNN’a polling
showed President Biden’s SOTU speech drew fewer viewers than last year’s
speech to the point it was the lowest rated SOTU address in 25 years.
In spite of Biden’s “looking to the future” rhetoric, he’ll likely fall
back to Democrats’ fail-safe issues of raising taxes on the wealthy,
expanding federal benefits for families, and lowering healthcare costs.
Biden
continued to warn Israel about attacking the Gaza city of Rafah.
Meanwhile, Gaza cease-fire talks continue with Arab negotiators in the
face of the beginning of Ramadan. And, the General Frank S. Besson has
set sail from Virginia to Gaza with help to build a pier for
humanitarian supplies for Palestinians there. Maybe this will be the
“Come to Jesus” moment with PM Netanyahu that Biden quipped about on a
hot-mic after his speech last Thursday night.
Recent revelations
and rulings in Trump’s court cases appear to be softening Biden’s and
fellow Democrats’ accusations that electing Trump will destroy
“Democracy!” What a hokey charge against a political opponent especially
accompanied by charges that Trump is not eligible to be on the ballot!
The Supreme court shot that down 9-0 last week in what the
Democrat-media coalition labeled as a partisan vote. Yes, 9-0. Partisan.
Supreme Court.
So far, the Biden campaign’s strategies to
remove Trump from running have created a lot of late night fodder for
newer cutting edge comedians. Hitting her stride, Fulton County District
Attorney Fani Willis has gone well beyond the pale of political comedy
by attracting attention to her own romantic indiscretions with lover
Nathan Wade while simultaneously prosecuting Trump and a bunch of his
associates for … what is she prosecuting Trump for? A phone call?
Court
time is beginning to run out before the November election, and
prosecutors are drawing more and more attention to themselves and their
ill-advised strategies of convicting Trump of felonies or sweeping him
off ballots in multiple states.

Bless your heart, Daniel. We're voting for Biden.
March 17, 2024 at 7:08 AM, do you have a mouse in your pocket? The majority of us are voting for Trump. Four more years of Joe Biden, and a loaf of bread will be ten dollars.
Four more years of slow Joe, and the great displacement won't be a conspiracy, it will be a fact. Bless your heart. I don't know what anyone else saw at the State of the Union, but I saw a weak, frail, old man screaming in desperation.
Just because you wish for the GOP to be for a one-party system where everyone must march in goose step with arm raised to their Dear Leader and be evangelical and will make sure the laws are changed to make that easier, doesn't mean the other party stoops that low.
How you missed that Democrats are not all of the same ilk can only mean you are deaf and blind.
I suggest you look at which party has supported someone who actually says they will kill all the members of the other party and gave us Boebert, Taylor Green and Santos as well as a Lt. Govenor who says the Holocaust is "hogwash" and transgenders should go outdoors to the bathroom, women should not be in leadership positions at all, defends sexual predators like Cosby and Weinstein, and managed to get businesses and sports competitions to ban events in his state.
You and your ilk are convincing former Republicans (you call us RINOs) and independents and those who aren't big fans of Biden to vote nearly a straight Democratic ticket. Though I did vote for Wicker who has rather gracefully given the dangers avoided the "batshit crazy" policy positions.
Please, get to the Mind Center at UMMC, DL. Take the MMPI. There is medication that could help you.
"we" who?
You got a mouse in your pocket?
Did anyone actually watch the SOTU? If you didn't I can tell you what it was like. I saw a feeble old man suffering from dementia trying to read something someone else wrote for him. He didn't know where he was and didn't know what he was reading. Without the sheet of paper he would have wandered all over the stage with a good chance he would have fallen off of it.
@9:48
Why do you sound so unhinged and disconnected from reality like Don Lemon and Rachel Maddow?
Hard to believe anyone thinks Biden is really running the show!
With Abortion, IVF and a civilly and corrupt candidate I expect no surprises, Biden will win and carry the house with him . Republicans only chance is to regain the Senate.
I know Joe Biden. He does not have dementia. But, given his age, there is a real risk that he will not survive another term. That will give us President Kamala Harris. Scary.
March 17, 2024 at 5:26 PM, You should come out from under your rock more often. None of what you posted even made the list of citizens concerns in the latest Gallup Poll.

In a previous post, I said if the GOP would hammer immigration, and the economy, they could win it all.
What happens if Biden wins again? Is what I wonder.
March 18, 2024 at 9:49 AM, gloom, despair, agony, and the ushering in of the Kamala Harris administration. Slow Joe will more than likely shuffle off this mortal coil before he completes another term. That ushering in part should scare any sane person.
How about we tell the truth. Joe was never a smart person. He was a good crook but even back years ago his brother was the one pulling the strings. Now Joe has so many strings pulling on him he looks like a parade float. He has been getting a government check all of his life. He knows nothing about making a living. Don't know anything about the cost of anything. Hell, he does not even pay for his own ice cream.
Slow Joe comes from a long line of scofflaws.

What the dems will use is an already bloodied abortion stick. Women will turn out. The farce the republicans have made of themselves on this issue will be their downfall.
Trump will be demanding a pardon once he’s convicted.
I am dumbfounded by the GOP. Hell, Trump seems to be actively trying to lose the election.
Left wing nutjobs will turn out en masse because they loathe the orange man, and many that voted for him in the past are finding it harder and harder to vote the slightly less awful old man in the same race, over and over.
Don't get me wrong, I will hold my nose and do it because I don't think the economy will survive Queen Kamala. But we have become such a joke, and neither of these men is anything near the answer.
March 18, 2024 at 10:12 PM, you keep holding on to that. It's looking less, and less, like Trump will even go to trial.
