sotu
Can’t really question that student loan forgiveness, a climate bill, a gun bill, over a hundred federal court judges, a Supreme Court appointment, the infrastructure bill and the environmental stuff and high-speed internet access and significant increases in renewable energy and a crackdown on junkfees and overdraft charges and increased domestic microchip production and the best economy and lowest unemployment in a generation and a cap on insulin prices are actual good things. #SOTU

I've been able to catch up on the #SOTU tonight solely from the reposts
you're truly the #GOAT for the Fediverse, big thanks!
Periodic reminder:
Don't give MTG the attention. That's exactly what she wants. The more we discuss her, the more we elevate her, the more we feed the beast.

Gonna repeat again: This is who the #GOP is. Their collective horror at this woman grimacing through her comfortable life is horror at themselves.
It came off as no worse than your average James Comer hearing, after all.
Daily Beast's Jake Lahut:
NEW on private GOP freakout brewing over Katie #Britt's #SOTU response:
“Everyone’s fucking losing it. It’s 1of our biggest disasters ever.” Being likened to Rubio water bottle moment & Bobby Jindal's infamous 2009 SOTU response.
I have long been very confident about November 5, 2024 and President Biden's return to the White House for a second term. I've correctly predicted the outcome of the last two presidential elections, and at least a year in advance on both occasions (2016, 2020)
"This was not the Joe Biden Republicans were looking for"
"He spoke so well, so quickly, so intelligently, and transitioned so effectively that the Republican members, decorated like NASCAR cars with their pandering buttons and hats, looked like, well… idiots."
Busted..
Via david.heath.writer on Threads:
Journalist Jonathan Katz fact checked Katie Britt’s horrific rape story from her over-the-top rebuttal.
Despite all the drama, it turns out to be a story that happened 20 years ago - and not in the U.S. but in Mexico. It’s a story that was recounted in Congressional testimony in 2015.
Katie #Britt lied when she blamed this on Joe #Biden’s border policies and when she said it happened in the U.S. #SOTU
There is no way in hell I'm watching the #SOTU tonight.
I'd rather scrape my ass with jagged blades.
