"If anyone tries to cut Social Security, I will veto it... but I guess that's something no one's gonna try to do."

Love seeing republican fury when they're called out on their political games >

“How dare he make us say it with our chest!” >

More than anything, Biden’s speech accomplished painting republicans as anti paying teachers, pro gun deaths, anti workers, pro $400 insulin, pro fentanyl, anti unity, and pro CANCER somehow, mostly by their own making. Fantastic. >

Allowing the "heckles" to have a semi-back-and-forth only to back them into a "good so then we all agree" corner was beautifully done. >

Genuinely impressive, and they walked right into it. 
And he's funny enough to even get McCarthy to laugh when the dude is trying his best to zone out. He's nailing it. >

I was really shocked by McCarthy's body language -- a lot of nodding agreement going on there >

“Speaker I don’t want to ruin your reputation but I look forward to working with you.”
That was a good one lol >

A Dem simply saying that they will work with a specific Republican is probably enough for that Republican to lose supporters. How far their party has fallen... >

Have Joe drop a few well-placed winks at the right republicans and they'll dismantle themselves. >

Literally all it takes. They’re so fragile and divided right now. And their voting base is so consumed by conspiracy theory that they’ll dissect every one of those winks until they turn on their leaders. 
“Joe Biden smiled at MTG! That means they’re working together! She’s a fake!” >

Using a SOTU to make a live power play is a new one. >

GOP shouting "liar" got a tad predictable it seems. They played themselves. >

But Biden flipped it so easily to make a power play to where if republicans do pass to get rid of Medicaid/Medicare then they all just showed themselves the liar lol >

Jesus Christ I just watched Joe Biden goad the republican party into defending social security and Medicaid >

That was legit badass. LBJ style politicking live and in real time. >

Wow, did he just completely fuck their proposals to cut Medicare and Social Security in real time in front of the entire country? >

Yes >

Not so sleepy, eh? >

Never was >

Imagine being so clean, the best insult the GOP can come up with is that his eyes look tired. >

"Social Security is off the books now, right?"
Lmao fucking brilliant play. >

From the makers of 'Please proceed, governor' >

Biden just fuckin wrecked them.  This is why experience actually matters. >

Really amazing levels of emotion coming from Joe tonight. I love it >

The two call-outs to parents who have lost their kids. From a man who buried his son. So many moments in this speech >

You have to feel terrible for Tyre Nichols's parents >


Arkansas governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders

So the state of Arkansas saw this train wreck under the Trump Administration and said "I want four years of that" lmao >


This fucking loser who couldn't keep her job or keep the camera turned on as Press Secretary is the perfect person to run Arkansas


Arkansas GOP

She is the perfect GOP candidate after all, an idiot who stands for nothing. >

McCarthy with the Dad shush. What clowns. >

Like ten times. >

...Did Joe just rope a dope the GOP on Social Security/Medicare? >

He walked them right into giving a standing ovation to not cutting Social Security and Medicare. That was UNBELIEVABLE. >

Can we stop hating him now please? The man came in in one of the most sensitive times in American history and basically hit it out of the park. The amount of positive legislation passed in the past 2 years is historic, full stop. Not to mention getting us to the "soft landing" economically that keeps us ahead of all other nations on the globe. Age is not always bad, humans knew that globally not even 100 years ago. Democrats should be proud as fuck of the past 2 years. >

I mean. I’m a fan. Sometimes I do feel like that’s a minority opinion in the Democratic Party though >

Yeah, the state of our media is a national security concern. The fact that a small minority of Americans believe this president is a full on traitor has never been seen in our history >

“The tax system is not fair” right out loud.
Whoa. >

"We have to reward work, not just wealth" was a great turn of phrase >

I have to hand it to Biden here: he’s doing a great job trolling the GOP by using their own bullshit against them. >

Still got it. >

I feel like I just saw Joe take the republican party hostage in public over the debt ceiling. >

He just made them promise in front of tens of millions of Americans, so yeah >

When Obama was once called a liar during the state of the union it was a HUGE DEAL. Nowadays, it’s common. Republicans acting like HOGS tonight >

I hate it. The de-evolution of society. >

Can someone more tech savvy create a gif with McCarthy shush as a meme, so I can reply to conservatives on Twitter when they need to stfu. >

Hi I'm a Canadian. I'm a keen observer of US politics not with any kind of agenda but just because Canada sleeps comfortably next to a bear named USA that could roll over and kill us. By accident. Pretty much whenever. So like a little brother we watch, to learn, and anticipate.
Anyway, I have watched every SOTU since I was in high school (25 yrs ago) and Biden's speech tonight was one of the best goddamned SOTU's of all time. I almost don't understand what I saw tonight. He completely flipped the populist critique on its head by DOING SOMETHING about so many things that screw everyday people in everyday ways. In exact detail. With exact and definitive legislative responses.
It was brilliant because the populist Republican power comes from the failure of the state to address what ails people. It's effective because at least it gives a voice to what's shitty.
But Biden got up there and basically said "yeah I hear what ails yous and we're gonna use our authority not to be pleasant or take half measures but to SHUT DOWN that GARBAGE THING that EXPLOITS YOU like CATTLE." Hidden fees. Insulin prices. Ticketmaster bullshit. Capped health care costs. Stupid airline bullshit. The lack of awesome and dignified manufacturing jobs. He named them all and had really concrete and meaningful steps to make it right.
I dunno, from this side of the border it was very compelling and really rang true. I hope Canada's PM was watching tonight because I think Biden just laid out the playbook to defeat the (heavily American influenced) populist uprising in Canada. Basically, fucking use your authority to DO GOOD for the LITTLE GUY and do it IN A REAL WAY and it will be richly rewarded with votes. >

I'm glad to hear it came across that way to someone without any sort of agenda in mind. It makes me hope low-attention voters who watched it (because it was the only thing to watch) will pick that up too >

Liz Warren was fucking GIDDY about taxing the rich >

Me, too. >

I love how Republicans keep calling Joe a sleepy old man and he just keeps kicking in their fucking teeth. Biden with attitude is the best. >

It looked like McCarthy was falling asleep half the time - or was that just me? >

McCarthy did have low energy. Sad! >

That social security / Medicare feint was seriously some class A planning, holy moly. You bait them into booing things they’ve openly advocated for, call them out on it, corner them into standing and clapping for your own policy… one which a majority of the public obviously agree with. 
Just.. damn. Dark Brandön >

thats the best shit ive seent in awhile. they walked into it. >

I saw a clip of Jesse waters on fox earlier making fun of them for supposedly working on this speech since the midterm victory.. but after that and several other extremely well established portions, I totally believe they were grinding it out that long. >

hell yea, this shit was comin from a mile away. for once a good fuckin play. i wish i could see .001 of this in tn to counter hvac king. >

Holy shit. Biden just forced Republicans to protect Social Security and Medicare.
How the fuck did he do that? >

I LOVE that he said he would give proof that some R's want to cut SS and Medicare if they call his office! That was awesome! >

Like I understand having a low opinion of Biden, especially when you disagree with his policies, but when people call him a doddering old dementia patient they’re not making sense.
This guy just nimbly and deftly deflected boos and heckles and then trapped hundreds of Republicans into making a political promise in live TV.
No way he could have prepared for that moment.
There is a reason he’s been in politics for 50 years. Homeboy is good at it. >

I have a family member I really care about parrot all this shit and it's starting to make me worried. He's always opening with "I'm not a conservative" then just shits on anything democrat (which yes, there are issues, but they aren't 100% evil) and talks about Tucker Carlson and says Biden is clearly in the throes of dementia >

The only people who truly think he's in the throes of dementia are people who truly haven't experienced it first hand. >

MTG is insufferable. First off she shows up looking like Cruella Deville. Second she starts yelling "Liar, Liar" at the top of her lungs like she is at a rally. Such trash. >

And it’s already been done…she can’t even be provocative anymore
