Missed the point — he purposely bated the fools, and they looked bad. Not dementia, but savvy. The reactionaries can’t get over their how silly they acted. Shhhhhhhh, whispered McCarthy. No, said the emotionally unintelligent.

He gave a great speech and handled the hecklers with humor and grace, and he also backed the Republicans into promising not to cut Social Security and Medicare. That’s not a person with dementia.

The only reason this puppet is still in office is that no one wants Harris as POTUS.

How can you hear someone in another car amid traffic?

It’s refreshing to have a president who actually cares about all the citizens and tries to get legislation passed for the benefit of many. Not Duh Furor, whose primary goals were lining his pocketbook, making sure his posterior was polished by his aides, and getting little meaningful legislation passed.

Joe’s political aikido getting the Rs to stand up and applaud keeping medicare & social security off the table was masterful.

Where is that “Free World” Americans are always going on about. What “freedoms” do Americans have that say.. Canadians/Australians/British/Irish/Sweden…. don’t.

Most Americans are forced to pay taxes.. stop at red lights.. restrictions on where you can build a house.. on what side of the road you are allowed to drive on. You have more folk in prison than most countries, not much freedom there. Freedom for women to control their bodies.. not. Freedom to elect representatives is certainly up for debate. The only “freedom” I can think of that we don’t.. is purchasing guns, and not sure if that is a good “freedom”.

Yes, to your dismay he does know when to use his skilled debate tactics.

You can get shot cutting people off in traffic, or voting for gun loving republiguns.

Kelley, perhaps you should “relocate” to Twitter…

I think you missed the part where Biden baited, trapped, and humiliated the unruly children.

‘Devastating’: New Romney book will focus on GOP’s ‘slide toward authoritarianism’

Journalist McKay Coppins is writing a book about Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) that will reportedly feature “hundreds” of private emails and communications that he has sent. Axios reports that the emails Romney shared include messages to “many of the most powerful figures in American politics,” although the report doesn’t specify exactly who will be included in the messages.

Great cartoon, Steve! You’ve gotten the Biden apologists all lathered up. Psalm 95:8

Odd how the same people who accuse Biden of being weak manage to get all upset when Biden acts more strongly…

Biden is pathetic.

“Person, woman, man, camera, TV”, that’s what a very stable genius sounds like.

Unlike Trump…

To the RWNJs sounding off above … Your Insurrectionist-in-Chief should be tried, convicted, and jailed.

Shallow and lacking humor. So?

GOP senator ‘handing a gift’ to Biden by doubling down on Social Security-trashing plan: analyst

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) is on the defensive after President Joe Biden tarred the GOP during the State of the Union Address with Scott’s plan to periodically “sunset” Social Security and Medicare — and traveled to Florida to give a roomful of people copies of his proposal to do so. On Thursday, a CNN panel speculated that Scott’s ongoing defense of his proposal is just making Biden’s attack on the GOP that much more effective.

Parroting industry talking points, GOP goes to bat for fraud-riddled Medicare Advantage

Since President Joe Biden accused them of wanting to cut Medicare in his nationally televised State of the Union address earlier this week, congressional Republicans have attempted to posture as the program’s true defenders by touting their support for privately run plans that are riddled with fraud and abuse.“It’s Joe Biden, NOT Republicans, who is proposing Medicare Advantage cuts,” tweeted Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), referring to a new payment plan that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) unveiled last week.

GOP aligning itself with unpopular fees that lighten the consumer’s wallets

For the past 50 years one of the standard key messages of the Republican party is that they stand for the ‘common man,’ and ‘Main Street’ and not for big corporations or wealthy interest groups and lobbying organizations. That is why their new public stance in being more closely positioned with large Fortune 1000 companies that charge service fees that consumers notoriously hate is a new, unchartered territory for the GOP, according to a column published in New Republic.

Joe Biden was never angry in the State of the Union. He sounded pretty smooth to me.

He has always been an angry, arrogant jerk.

I would hate to disillusion those who think HE is the leader, he is told what to believe, what to say and what to sign, and even where to stand and when to applaud by his “handlers”, and when he reads a speech that someone else wrote, he probably couldn’t answer any questions about what he “said” because he really doesn’t know,… which is why he usually doesn’t answer questions thrown at him… unless someone want’s to know what his favorite ice-cream flavor is.. and by the way… the Republicans NEVER PLANNED to cut SS and Medicare…. that’s just another thing the Dems lied about!… and told their “puppet”! My father had dementia… so I know what it’s like!

Biden is rude and nasty. It’s old – just like him.

So you’re that guy!
