It’s good business to find the controversy in the speech, but it was a speech that needed to shake us up. This is a fight for the soul of our country, and the right-wing forces of darkness are relentless.
The number of Republicans supporting Herr Groppenfuror over the Republican party has jumped in the past few months according to a Yahoo poll. President Biden’s speech was timely.
Fuggit. . Critics would have called this version of his speech divisive. He needed to take the gloves off. To the diehards, Joe can do no right, and TFG no wrong. And the media is largely Bothsiderism.
There was a time when news media was an uncompromising honest ethical source of valid information, not just a profit center trying to be entertaining and politically biased in all output, not just clearly identified editorial slots.
“MAGA” people are a handy excuse for doubling down on the police state, and railing against “election deniers”. But ask yourself this: How would a Biden administration respond to the protests against the Supreme Court selecting the president in 2000? Or protests against the election theft in Ohio in 2004? Or protests against the illegal destruction of the ballots in a DWS election? Or analyses of the black-box voting and tabulation machines?
I’m fine with responding (finally) to the fascism and lunacy proudly displayed by Republicans, but I don’t think Republican politicians are the real target. Democrats or Republicans, the “security state” strengthens its hold.
The “mainstream press” is owned by various millionaires, i.e. Bozos owns the Washington Post.The idea that the press is “balanced” is a joke. The press is very happy to become unbalanced if something benefits benefits the owners, to preserve their wealth and power. Examples: reagan (aka “it”) began his campaign in Philadelphia MS, where the 3 civil rights workers were murdered. They also only reported once that he was endorsed by the KKK. Golly gosh gee. If they couldn’t see the obvious racial hatred he was promoting as a reason to vote for him, it’s because they wanted him in office. Another example was Dan Rather being fired for reporting that Dubya joined the national guard to avoid service in Vietnam, but he reported for duty to the National Guard only very few times. The problem is, Rather was reporting the truth. A book by the extemmed political scientist, Kevin Philip
the esteemed political scientist,Kevin Philips in (either American Theocracy or American Dynasty.) devoted at least a chapter in his book to Dubya’s service avoiding scam. Again the “mainstream press” wanted to protect their own.
I think it worked just fine. I, for one, am glad that Biden stood up and drew the line in the sand. We’re not talking about “honest differences of opinion here,” we’re talking about Americans and people trying to overthrow the government for the benefit of one criminal man.
And yet some people are still afraid that the Democratic Party isn’t being “nice” enough to seditionists and traitors!
According to the Constitution (you know, that document with the Second Amendment in it), anyone participating in treasonous activity is forbidden from holding public office. The first person actually dismissed in a CENTURY for that reason is in New Mexico, as of today, removed from office because he participated in the January 6th riot. This could be applied to any number of serving Republicans who are sharing in the “Big Lie.”
It doesn’t work for me either. The accusation of being bland and uninformed iis totally wrong. How many people realize we are in a shadow war with Russia. With all that’s going on I think Biden is doing a great job

The kind of speech that would please the republicans, vague forgetful, and weak.

I thought last week’s speech went over well in the press. “Semi-fascist” was the only euphemism. He should channel Truman more.

Sorensen, this missed-it-badly toon will only work for MAGAts. They didn’t listen to the speech either.

Nothing vague about Trump stowing another country’s nuclear Intel at his golf course/cathouse/cemetery.

I see all political speeches as being like this. There is a book written in between the lines.
