Wondering who will be listening tonight.
I also wonder how many sentences/pargraphs came out in the last three days and rewrote so they can keep the part about Ukraine and Russia current and whether it will be a darker speech than first expected. How about Omicron and masks, etc? Does he basically declare victory on that front?
Will MItch sit there, or stand and applaud? DO betting sites have different choices to bet on tonight?

We already know Rubio won’t be there because he is “too busy to get the required Covid test.” I wonder what he is doing that is so important. Not like the republicans have a platform that they ran on

McConnell looks like he would rather be anywhere else than at the State of the Union

I tuned out of the Republican response when she used the GOP talking point, "Weakness on the world stage, has consequences." Yes it does. We are reaping the consequences of having a man bully worshipping dictators with the invasion of Ukraine and many other international issues. www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/alexander-vindman-says-trump-mike-pompeo-and-fox-news-helped-bring-about-putin-s-invasion-of-ukraine/ar-AAUt5SB?ocid=msedgntpVindman, who is Ukrainian-American, made the comments in an interview with Salon that was published on Monday.
He said that Trump's refusal to criticize Russian President Vladimir Putin was one of the factors that led Putin to act. He also blamed Trump for weakening the US internally with his divisive politics.
He singled out Trump, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and Fox News host Tucker Carlson for criticism, highlighting their praise for Putin even as it became clear that he would invade.
"The Tucker Carlsons, the Donald Trumps, the Mike Pompeos, they and other Republicans are going to have to own this issue because they are the reason that Russia launched this operation," said Vindman.

Does the speech writer for Kim Reynolds not realize that payments for Covid related job issues ended in September? DQ, how do you love your Republican governor now?

These are the same people who refuse to acknowledge Biden won the election. You expect them to tell the truth?

So the flash poll on the speech was around 75 positive.
No puffery or self admiration- nice change.

I never have loved her or any of the representatives of my state but it is so gerrymandered to give the rural areas more power that those of us who live in the urban areas get shut out. Reynolds used our COVID funds to pay for a new computer system for her offices. Not one single dime went to Iowans. How people can still vote for her knowing that is beyond me. But she is an excellent Trump toady so naturally she was picked to give the speech. I swear she is angling to be Trump's new VP pick should he run in 2024. He LOVES her, even brought her up on stage during a rally in Omaha as opposed to Ricketts. I rolled my eyes so hard at McConnell's praise of her that I could see my brain stem.

Waiting for Newsmax TV's political news correspondent Valuebuy to chime in with his analysis of Biden's speech last night.
Meanwhile, 'Sleepy Joe' was not sleepy last night.

The only thing Governor Kim Reynolds did not say last night was 'Jews will not replace us'. But she was close to doing so.

Iowans don't like it when their racism is obvious to the rest of the country. We get rid of them then elect equally, if not more so, racist people but at least they don't say it outright on national TV. I hate my state.

Hey, I’m saddled with MTG and most likely she’ll win her next election too. So embarrassing.

Boebert and Greene are undisciplined toddlers. The GOP is too invested in being their BFFS (and by proxy Trump's BFF) than leaders. So they will cluck because they know in the back of their minds they have to say something to try to attract/keep independent votes but like shitty parents won't actually take the steps to correct the behavior.

I'm not about to post the visual, but there's a meme floating around FB today with that first pic of them spaced out a bit, and a text cloud between them that says "this space here is called the perineum"

Read members of the Squad's responses to the speech.

So now the problem is, Putin is threatening nuclear war, and the Chinese are pissed off about Tiawanese aggression by the Biden Administration, and what will be Joe's response to this............
