Still wondering if the lib on here still thinks "Presidents don't affect the daily lives of most Americans"?
Wow... bet they'd like to walk that one back...

So Dims think TX turning blue. LOL. In the three statewide primary races results from yesterday, Pub totals were about 1.9M for each each race & Dim totals were about 1.1M. Close. LMAO.
Nah they don't care. They'll literally say and do whatever msm/dnc tells them. That's why I love the npc moniker so much.
It's no wonder that TV shows are called "Programs" and Television is really short for "Tell A Vision"
I have a close friend who worked on the Congressman Larry McDonald's campaign. He lives in Milton, GA and once considered running for congress after the death of Larry McDonald. He may have been a little too conservative for his district but may have won had he lived a few counties above Fulton.
I haven't seen JBS in years. There was a chapter at UK when I was a student. But no way UK would allow them on campus today. Much too WOKE for that.
Like I mentioned last night, these SOTU speeches are a waste of time. Lot of fluff...red meat for the base....wish list of things that for the most part will never get passed....etc.
The only SOTU I remember...and it was classic...was Reagan in 1988.
For those who have forgotten, or too young, check out the video starting at about the 15:00 mark.
Common sense that is totally lacking today.
'Now, it's also time for some plain talk about the most immediate obstacle to controlling Federal deficits. The simple but frustrating problem of making expenses match revenues?something American families do and the Federal Government can't?has caused crisis after crisis in this city. Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, I will say to you tonight what I have said before and will continue to say: The budget process has broken down; it needs a drastic overhaul. With each ensuing year, the spectacle before the American people is the same as it was this Christmas: budget deadlines delayed or missed completely, monstrous continuing resolutions that pack hundreds of billions of dollars worth of spending into one bill, and a Federal Government on the brink of default.
I know I'm echoing what you here in the Congress have said, because you suffered so directly. But let's recall that in 7 years, of 91 appropriations bills scheduled to arrive on my desk by a certain date, only 10 made it on time. Last year, of the 13 appropriations bills due by October 1st, none of them made it. Instead, we had four continuing resolutions lasting 41 days, then 36 days, and 2 days, and 3 days, respectively.
And then, along came these behemoths. This is the conference report?1,053 pages, report weighing 14 pounds. Then this?a reconciliation bill 6 months late that was 1,186 pages long, weighing 15 pounds. And the long-term continuing resolution?this one was 2 months late, and it's 1,057 pages long, weighing 14 pounds. That was a total of 43 pounds of paper and ink. You had 3 hours?yes, 3 hours?to consider each, and it took 300 people at my Office of Management and Budget just to read the bill so the Government wouldn't shut down. Congress shouldn't send another one of these. No, and if you do, I will not sign it.'

Larry's wife ran in the special election after his death but lost. She was nice but probably not cut out of the 'political cloth' that's needed to campaign, etc.
They were both at our wedding.
Funny....at that time I thought that he was kind of a far right radical (although I don't think the term 'far right' was around then) even though I really liked the guy. Now...when you look at his positions from then and things he said, they're pretty much in line with what most Repubs believe.
Almost 100% sure the Canuck was the main one spouting that line.
Since beto is unemployed he just runs every now and then to make money off campaign donations.
He got rich as hell off the time he challenged Cruz.
Well.. that makes sense. People that stand for nothing usually know nothing.
I don't know when it started...probably when radio or TV came around, but SOTU used to simply be a written report not even addressed in front of congress
Joe Biden bragged about all the jobs he "created" in 2021. Allowing people to return to their jobs is not "job creation"
Joe Biden bragged about tapping into 60 million barrels of oil reserves. We use around 20 million a DAY in the US. Those reserves you tapped into would barely get us through a weekend.
Joe Biden also took a jab at the tax cuts under Trump, saying they didn't help the common folks, only the wealthy. This is absolutely false and has been debunked a dozen times, even by NYT, one of the farthest left leaning media outlets.
Joe Biden scoffed at the pretend boogie man known as "voter suppression", saying that laws have been put into place so people can't vote. I can't believe I even have to say this, but showing your ID is not suppression. Having to stand in line is not suppression. Most of the laws he refers to are laws put in place to restore the voting procedure to pre-covid procedures.
Oh, and all that stuff about "defunding the police"? Well, Joe Biden has had an epiphany of sorts. Now he wants to provide more money and resources to American policing. That's weird, huh? Years of demonizing our police, and now you expect the American people to forget your vicious attacks on our officers. You must think we are dumb, Joe.
And ghost guns... gosh he loves that term, doesn't he? Less than 2% of guns seized last year were untraceable diy guns. But Joe has waged a war against this insignificant portion of firearms because it's low hanging fruit.
How many times did he slur his words and stumble all over himself in those 70 minutes? I counted 9, but possibly more. Lord help us
I could go on and on... but bottom line, we have an empty suit running our country. 2024 can't come soon enough.”

Gas in Louisville $3.79 at the Speedway at Westport Rd. & Chamberlain lane according to Gas Buddy.
Plus, isn't his wife's Dad a billionaire?
Amazing that ppl are dumb enough to fall for the "I created all these jobs"
The government forceably making business close then simply allowing people to return to work isn't job creation

You think Putin kept Biden's list? If so I'm sure he'll adhere to it.

NY Post: Russia Declares Cyberwar on US
Cyberwar has been declared on the United States, with Russia using preliminary but increasing steps in a campaign to cripple the nation's banking systems and potentially other industries, according to a new report.
Another one...and I'm going back 3 or 4 years ago by memory so my apologies if I'm wrong...was KyBassFan.
I think.
Percentage of Americans identifying as Independent approving of Biden - 30%
Percentage of catpaw "independents" willing to suck Biden until his hair plugs popped out - 100%

I for one am SOOOOO glad Biden addressed the burn pits. I mean, who among us hasn't been talking about those ghastly burn pits for the last year? I think about them almost daily.
Plat has said it, DukeBlu said it numerous times
He probably did but it's a go-to for them. When a repub is in office, everything bad is their fault. When it's a Dem, it's "presidents don't have control over daily lives (gas prices, economy, etc)
Problem isn't police funding. Problem is not prosecuting and locking up the perps. Total red herring.
Iran thing has never been a treaty but just an agreement between the existing Prez & Iran.
Yeah so...Nancy pelosi is rich as shit...doesn't stop her from insider trading all the damn time at 80 years old.
We’ve sent millions in both military and humanitarian aid. The reason they’ve been able to put up such a good fight so far compared to 2014 is that aid. When you can buy Bayraktar drones for only somewhere between $2-5 mil every dollar helps. But we can’t enter the war or enforce a no-fly zone or anything more than that because they’re not in NATO and Russia’s a nuclear superpower. Same reason we’ve been fighting proxy wars since the end of WWII and that nobody messes with Kim Jong Un even though his tiny country is poor and otherwise meaningless. The nuclear powers will not fight each other because that means Mutually Assured Destruction(MAD) enforced by always-ready second-strike nuclear submarines sitting out there on the ocean floor.
This is seemingly the first war fully happening in the modern propaganda age. Sure the video could be real, but who the hell knows, just like everything flying across Twitter these days. Anything pro-Ukraine is immediately amplified across the internet.
When China takes Taiwan, without ever firing a shot, anything you see on Twitter will be pro China.
Would be nice if the blue check marks could promote a video of escaped Uyghur slaves calling their parents (who were probably murdered by the CCP).
Gas jumped .25 overnight here. Just hours after Joe said he’s not going to open up oil for poor people. Private business just need to give poor people $15hr so they can buy gas.
Yep Jen there is definitely a pattern here. Thank you for being honest for once.
Obvious pauses in anti lockdown covid online activity curiously corresponds directly with Russia’s Ukraine invasion. Wonder why? Looks like the Russian trolls had some new homework.

Yes I'm sure the troll farms are on the front lines, leading the charge.
All the chatter stopped because politics of lockdown was too damaging; so now covid is going away. So now we're going to stop counting and testing. Same playbook as sars 1.
We're talking about online activity. All the # tweets and retweets. They aren't out there with rifles, they switched propaganda spigots from covid to war. Look at the dates on the graphs. That isn't an organic drop-off from lack of interest.
Gotta get that oil. It's like a game of musical sanctions.
Oil rose $5 a barrel while dumbass was talking last night. Gas going this high will kill the US economy. Shipping cannot handle these skyrocketing prices.
