State of the Union



Above are some of the memorable moments from Joe Biden's State of the Union address last night. I thoght he did a really good job.

One moment in particular that made a big splash was when Biden mentioned the national debt, that Trump had increased it by 25%, and that the Republicans had raised the debt ceiling three times under Trump. Then he addressed Republicans now trying to hold raising the debt ceiling hostage through threatening to sunset Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid (Are Republicans Trying To Defund Social Security And Medicaid? A State Of The Union Fact Check (Updated: Biden Fires Back)).

Some Republicans heckled Biden, calling him a liar. That didn't shut him down. He has the receipts, so to speak, and he was able to flip the script, forcing the Republicans to say that they would not touch those programs. It was pretty funny ...

I thought it was a good speech too.
Some of the "Dark Brandon" memes are pretty funny, his turn to "own the magas".
And what on earth was MTG thinking with that outfit she was wearing? How many polyester/acrylics had to give their lives for that poufy collar!

Heh, she did look kind of like Cruella de Vil :) The talk that Sarah Sanders gave afterwards was pretty creepy too. Why would they pick someone who is known mainly for being a professional liar?
