It was a great speech. I know you're disappointed, VB. I do not call it a great speech. He beat expectations of everyone on the right including me, but failed miserably to members of the far left. Read members of the Squad's responses to the speech. I don't care what the far-left thinks. Nor Boebert and MGT. Biden shouldn't care either.

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............ Russia is invading Ukraine. Ukraine is not part of NATO. If you listened to the speech, you should know exactly what Biden is doing in regard to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It's not rocket science; he's been telegraphing his position for days. Don't care about China right now. Let's focus. Putin took crazy lessons from Trump. I don't know what Putin will do, however pressing the red button on his end only makes sense if he wants to count how quickly he will be vaporized before death. I don't think he's that crazy.

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? 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. I know you dislike her, hence the emoticon. She should be investigated by the feds if what you say is true, and the money clawed back or administered by the federal government to those in need. I can see how the GOP might like her look, presentation skills, and her willingness to spout the party line. She would be a good reason to throw money against Trump/Reynolds if that indeed becomes a ticket. I liked McCain, but I did not want Palin. If Hillary had to wait, I preferred Obama to win, but tried comforting myself that a woman could be VP. Even if it was her. Where are the successors to Ann Richards and other useful conservatives?

The FAR left? Who cares? I think you should stick to worrying about your Dictator in charge in Canada, but whatever. We all know he is held hostage by the far left democrats, and evidently he is trying to break free. Unfortunately, he is told old to run fast enought to escape from the squad.

There is no President who is so awful that he no longer is considered head of the party. So nice try, bad wish, but it isn't going to happen. The way things are going, I think Biden wins a second term.

I think at this point if you were to drop a penny in a homeless' guy's cup you are considered part of the radical left. Republicans have no platform outside of accumulating as much power/money as they can and making sure everyone knows it's white straight Christian men who are in charge. And if they can't win they will blow the country up with them. Nixon would be accused of being part of the nanny state nowadays for signing the EPA into existence. Lincoln would be accused of ruining the South's economy for freeing the slaves. Jesus is clearly a communist because he was going out there handing food to the poor.

Then there is Martin Luther who was clearly against the free market for opposing indulgences in the Catholic Church. Republicans better get busy removing the "P" from WASP.

Mitch will cross his arms across his chest and say the only thing he is working on is making Biden a one term president. Trump will probably be reelected and tax cuts for the rich and corporations is all that will happen. Guess by the Benzo will need a new super yacht by then. Oh wait, Trump will let us all know that tax cuts for middle class and health insurance will happen in two weeks.

The Catholic Church created the demand and ran the market. Color me confused by your post. Martin Luther is the founder of the Lutheranism. He was not happy with the fact that rich people could buy their way into heaven in the Catholic church using indulgences. That was a part of his 99 theses. He went on to start the Protestant church. Luther was coming along demanding people do stuff like actually have faith, pray to God and be a good person. How dare he try to dictate others morality! Like most religions people have forgotten that he was also a radical for his day.

That was a part of his 99 theses. He went on to start the Protestant church. I was born a Lutheran. One of the most noted theologians in recent Lutheran history was the first pastor of the church I grew up in. Luther was pretty aware it was a money grab and against the theology actually in the Bible. Catholicism was corrupt. That's why he nailed the theses on the doors. Not because he wanted in on the grift.

I don't get that either. Trudeau called for an emergency but then handed the power right back as soon as it was over. How does exercising an emergency power in an EMERGENCY make him a dictator? Trump would have declared himself the new Galactic Emperor.

They do not have anyone else left to go after after Paul left. Years ago I believe it was Gambler they came after. Then they denounced Virgil..... Then they came for Paul....... Now they came for me......... Who is next? BTW, I am not sure why you had to post 99% chance this would not be his last SOTU Speech. Do you think there are enough democrats around to force him out in the next 11 months? That is the only scenerio that I see could do it, and that is not happening. Yes, you are probably correct he can win re-election. The electorate have such a short memory of everything he has fucked up in a year, I do not.
