Shaken, not stirred!
Well, Uncle Joe just pulled a rabbit out the hat tonight! His State of the Union speech was beyond the usual pie in the sky proposals and promises that is the status quo for these events. He pulled little punches in pointing the finger at the MAGA GOP for essentially fucking up! When challenged by hecklers, he did a verbal jiu jitsu, with comebacks like "Oh, you want high tax breaks for the wealthy?" The rabid heckler screaming about his military son being killed in Kabul and not getting a mention didn't pan out like Brian Mast (R-FL) hoped it would, as Joe's pre-empted mention of resolve to stop Hamas and various like entities covered such. Nope, old Joe basically took it to the GOP, telling them to lay off Social Security, stop kissing corporate ass and do right by the people. Despite the frowns from Speaker Johnson and cat calls from Margie Green (who got put down SO beautifully by Uncle Joe), Biden was NOT the befuddled old man previously portrayed. Now the rabid right are whining that he's mean and angry and vindictive. Hmm, they need to make up their minds.
But for me the icing on the cake was the GOP response, done by Sen. Katie Britt (R-Al). This chick must've thought she was doing a screen test for Warner Bros.! All generalizations, regurgitation of talking points that Uncle Joe put to shame earlier, waving of the flag, accompanied by a well timed near tears, crocodile smiles and "heart felt" stares. She was so obvious, I said to my father as we laughed, "who does this bitch think she's fooling"? She assured everyone that she's for preserving IVF .... just as her state declares that a woman must give birth to a rape/incest conceived child.
Like it or not, my resident right wing crowd, Biden just gave Trump a hard act to follow.
