Okay, I loved that he faced the justices and said women were not going to take their shit! And what about watching Mike Johnson squirm? Does he not look like Howdy Doody? Head bobbing up and down…
I love that he quoted Alito's words back to the Justices anout how women were not lacking in political or legislative power. As in: see, you were right. 😊 (Or as Dahlia Lithwick put it: "Hold my beer!")
When Biden launched into his speech without waiting for Johnson to introduce him, the look on Johnson’s face was priceless. Not sure this was planned by the Biden team, but the effect was clearly deflating for the Squeeker.
He looked like an 8yo with no idea what he was doing there and unsure who to please. I don't think it's going to go over well with his peanut gallery that he often looked like he was agreeing with Joe!
You go Joe!!! Wow, the energy, the facts and the truth!!! And the visuals of Kamala Harris looking on proudly while Mike Johnson squirms. Priceless!!! And now he’s blasting the Republicans right now about their border lies and backing out on the deal they wanted!!! And he’s got the hecklers.
What caught my attention was the reaction from Republicans when Biden chastised Trump for telling Putin that he "can do whatever the hell you want" to our NATO allies if they, so called, don't, in Trump's words, "pay up." While Johnson nodded in agreement w/Biden, Republicans in the gallery sat in stone cold silence effectively supporting Trump's traitorous threat.
Yes! It was very interesting to watch Johnson's reactions. He'll probably get completely destroyed by trump after tonight. I'm sure he didn't have all the correct instructions on what to nod for and what to scowl at😆
Sharon, don’t he fooled by Johnson’s antics. He was the chief architect in the insurrection. Plus, he is the only Congress member who does not have a bank account. We do not know where he stashes his money. No bank deposits…at all!
Oh, MAGA Mikey has a bank account alright--in fact he likely has several. I guarantee you that he has carefully perused the "rules of the House" and has equally carefully arranged his accounts to hold just under the amounts that must be reported. He is a slimy little "Alfred E. Neuman" to be sure. I don't trust him AT ALL.
I thought it turned out that he actually DID have bank accounts, although why he thought saying he had none was good will forever elude me, assuming I ever think of it again, which I won't. unless reminded.
I also recognized a yell or too from the predictable blonde in the red hat but remain curious about who it was who was shrieking from the back of the room before (I think) being removed from the Chamber. Couldn't make out what was yelled several times but sure it wasn't complimentary. President Biden took it all in stride, with a smile.
I usually boycott the SOTU because it's so boring (especially Clinton's) and all those people in one run strikes me a terrorist's dream come true, so I get anxious. but I stayed for the whole thing last night, and it was DEFINITELY the best one I remember. by FAR.
The most care we have seen in a long long time for the American people. Kindness real ideas and work he has started with no help from half of the congress yet they claim it in there home town. Stone faced GOP.
What's w/ several Members of Congress chewing gum at the SOTU?! Looks like middle school. And Marjorie Three Names thought it was a costume party. And cowardly, craven Republicans sitting on their hands even during totally non-partisan statements.
This pitiful example of a congresswoman has zero respect for the country, it's institutions and people in general. She is a disgrace, and the people she is supposed to represent should wise up and vote her out before she does more harm.
Watching this SOTU, the choice is clear. While tRump spreads hate, fear, vitriol and promise’s retribution against perceived enemies, Biden promises a better world for every American, fair treatment and respect. The choice couldn’t be clearer.
Meanwhile, the pusillanimous puppet behind the President sinks deeper and deeper into his seat while his Republican colleagues look at their cell phones afraid to anger the tyrant to whom they are in thrall.
Dark Brandon took it to the Party of Trump tonight. Sure, he's old, but he is definitely still sharp, he's funny, and most of all he actually cares about people. His opponent is also old, but he's, well, none of those things.
I also really liked Kamala Harris proudly looking on.. I think she is growing into the role and makes an excellent #2.
Okay, I loved that he faced the justices and said women were not going to take their shit! And what about watching Mike Johnson squirm? Does he not look like Howdy Doody? Head bobbing up and down…
I love it that he told the Justices “you’re about to find out” about the power of women!
I love that he quoted Alito's words back to the Justices anout how women were not lacking in political or legislative power. As in: see, you were right. 😊 (Or as Dahlia Lithwick put it: "Hold my beer!")

That thought hadn't occurred to me!! Wow! The President took the ball and ran with it!!
It was a priceless tactic!
I thought Alfred E Newman
😂👍🏼
I thought he dozed off at one point
Neuman. Alfred Newman was one of the founders of the Newman Movie Music Dynasty (which includes Randy).
I can't help it...I bought my first copy of "Mad" in 1956.
Where Boomers learned to love satire, parody, etc.
...and the satire was kind of edgy and VERY smart. with fabulous artwork.
What me worry?
I even remember the cover...it was a spring because it was a "Spring Issue."
So last night woke up some old (very old) memories. Another reason to have enjoyed the speech.
Exactly!
What US Worry?
Oh that too!
He looked like an 8yo with no idea what he was doing there and unsure who to please. I don't think it's going to go over well with his peanut gallery that he often looked like he was agreeing with Joe!
Yes, I found that amusing. What a tool that guy is.
Dangerous tool.
he should be busted down to dinosaur shit collector on Noah's Ark, the stupid putz.
We'll see if the R's, and the orange traitor who leads them, are dissatisfied with how and when that useful idiot of a leader bobbed his head.
I wasn't necessarily watching every second, but people tell me that a camera from the side caught him applauding some stuff UNDER the desk.
fucking pathetic.
Yup
Honestly, that guy is creepy to the max. I'm confident that some really bad stuff will leak out. Does he have a daughter? Bad vibes.
Oh yes! Here’s his Wiki page. Scroll down to “Personal Life”. It should make you regurgitate.
Howdy was cuter! But loved how he talked to the supremes!!
I'm not so sure Marlene. Howdy Doody had a personality, with flair and charm! Close, though. More like some Houston Astro Bobblehed doll.
Biden was looking straight at the SCOTUS goon squad when he laid it on them. They tried hard not be seen squirming.
😁👏🏼👏🏼
Holy Mike looked like an uncomfortable thunder cloud sitting behind all of the light. The contrast couldn't have been clearer.
Yes! He does look like Howdy Doody. That’s what I call him. 🤦🏼♀️🤣
much more Howdy than Bluster. he looks like a child, actually. a fifth grader who can't figure out whether to be proud or ashamed of his new glasses.
A super Christian without the scars of a normal life!
😆
YES, Please!
He’s killing it. Energetic, effective.
Dazzling and so impressive!
You go Joe!!! Wow, the energy, the facts and the truth!!! And the visuals of Kamala Harris looking on proudly while Mike Johnson squirms. Priceless!!! And now he’s blasting the Republicans right now about their border lies and backing out on the deal they wanted!!! And he’s got the hecklers.
Biden opened up likening tRump and the GOP to Hitler. Fierce!

I was very impressed by Johnson. He was being honest. Nodding when he agreed with Biden and grimacing when he disagreed.
Sharon, don’t he fooled by Johnson’s antics. He was the chief architect in the insurrection. Plus, he is the only Congress member who does not have a bank account. We do not know where he stashes his money. No bank deposits…at all!
Good advice Marlene. NO ONE should trust this guy.
He's like his gawd fearless leader, no bottom to corruption Someone somewhere has stuff on him INMO.
How does someone exist without a bank account these days?
Oh, MAGA Mikey has a bank account alright--in fact he likely has several. I guarantee you that he has carefully perused the "rules of the House" and has equally carefully arranged his accounts to hold just under the amounts that must be reported. He is a slimy little "Alfred E. Neuman" to be sure. I don't trust him AT ALL.
You need a credit card to travel....or, who is paying his way?
I thought it turned out that he actually DID have bank accounts, although why he thought saying he had none was good will forever elude me, assuming I ever think of it again, which I won't. unless reminded.
fuck him.
Really? Where did you see that? I would love to know! He and his Stepford wife are creeps
I heard the beginning of some boos, but they stopped pretty quickly.
I also recognized a yell or too from the predictable blonde in the red hat but remain curious about who it was who was shrieking from the back of the room before (I think) being removed from the Chamber. Couldn't make out what was yelled several times but sure it wasn't complimentary. President Biden took it all in stride, with a smile.
Was there a Traitor gallery?
Joe wants to give teachers a raise!❤️
This is IMO the best SOTU speech in my life.💙
Me too, and I’m old!
And in that capacity…we’ve seen many, many SOTU speeches. We know bad. We know good. And we just were exposed to great…by the “old guy!”
I usually boycott the SOTU because it's so boring (especially Clinton's) and all those people in one run strikes me a terrorist's dream come true, so I get anxious. but I stayed for the whole thing last night, and it was DEFINITELY the best one I remember. by FAR.
Joe is absolutely rocking this speech!!
I’m sick of seeing maga mike johnson’s smug face though.
I liked watching him pretending not to squirm.
At least one obvious “oh shit” eye roll.
Biden hit it out of the park. 90 minutes. No memory lapses. Clearly commanded the room. Clearly knew and recognized all the players.
He came to win the battle.
He tried very hard but it was still very obvious!
The most care we have seen in a long long time for the American people. Kindness real ideas and work he has started with no help from half of the congress yet they claim it in there home town. Stone faced GOP.
Go Joe. Shame on them.
This one is a great one for the history books. President Biden made us proud tonight.
What's w/ several Members of Congress chewing gum at the SOTU?! Looks like middle school. And Marjorie Three Names thought it was a costume party. And cowardly, craven Republicans sitting on their hands even during totally non-partisan statements.
This pitiful example of a congresswoman has zero respect for the country, it's institutions and people in general. She is a disgrace, and the people she is supposed to represent should wise up and vote her out before she does more harm.
Nah they identify with her.
That is the shame of it all!
Mike Johnson looked like he was squirming in his seat because he didn't know the answer.
Gum’s allowed in Middle school? Who knew!
and baseball caps? How disrespectful can you get??
When it’s little Margie from Georgia, disrespect reaches a new high!
Saw a lot of gum chewers in the GOP ranks. Disrespectful. Didn't they learn manners at homeschool?
I refer to her as Empty Greene.
Watching this SOTU, the choice is clear. While tRump spreads hate, fear, vitriol and promise’s retribution against perceived enemies, Biden promises a better world for every American, fair treatment and respect. The choice couldn’t be clearer.
I wish it was clear to everybody!
It's about time, Joe!! Show 'em what you've got!!
Our President did well tonight, so proud! So proud he stands for banning assault weapons and gaining some control over gun violence!
Meanwhile, the pusillanimous puppet behind the President sinks deeper and deeper into his seat while his Republican colleagues look at their cell phones afraid to anger the tyrant to whom they are in thrall.
Whole lotta textin' goin' on! A sure sign of 'maybe he won't notice me'.
Nope, just checking out 6 foot Chinese models on Tik Tok!
Can we all agree...Empty Greene is an embarrassment...no hats allowed in that chamber...
I don’t want to ruin the vibe with my vituperation about that nasty, uncouth piece of humanity.
Marjorie Trailer Queen should be addressed as “Her Lowness!”
Blowness...?
That too.
Empty is a national disgrace. Even Viktor Orban finds her repulsive.
Mikey Johnson is shrinking into his chair.
Mikey is a weasel.
Like a pouting 10 year old!
"I hope Trumpy doesn't see me clapping under the table ..."
Dark Brandon took it to the Party of Trump tonight. Sure, he's old, but he is definitely still sharp, he's funny, and most of all he actually cares about people. His opponent is also old, but he's, well, none of those things.
I also really liked Kamala Harris proudly looking on.. I think she is growing into the role and makes an excellent #2.
I’m pleased and just wondering what the dolt in the GOP are going to piss and main about.. and MTG… what a tacky look..
Empty Greene is pure lunacy!
It was an insult to the congress and the potus to be wearing that stupid hat!
Does she think it puts her in the Veep mix? Trump is a vile, evil, despicable degenerate BUT not that stupid!
