So well said!!

BIDEN accomplished much more than that!

All of his detractors have nothing to say now…

Biden has proven himself BRILLIANTLY and I hope anyone who was ever concerned about his age fully understands this man is truly on his game bigly! He’s MORE THAN PROVEN HIMSELF!!

The detractors are in a box. It's harder now to hit him where it hurts.

That was the best State of the Union I’ve heard, and I’ve watched them all. My millennial daughter, who said she was going to vote for Cornell West called me and said she’s now going to vote for Biden. He knocked it out of the park! God bless him!!

How do you beat an orange wannabe tyrannical dictator in 3 easy steps?

1 Give 'em hell.

2 Make 'em weep.

3 Give 'em more hell.

(This winning strategy developed and perfected by Give 'Em Hell Harry Truman, 1948)

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GODZILLA & DONALD TRUMP:

One is a huge, ill-tempered reptile with huge legs, a big tail, teeny forepaws, weird orange skin, and it goes around, bellowing and baring its teeth a lot and stomping on helpless people.

The other is just a Japanese movie dinosaur.

Biden's speech does bring Truman to mind. He will do another version of it in Chicago in August.

He won the election last night. No doubt about it. Great speech. Loved that he never mentioned frumps name and especially loved his digs at the Supremes and big pharma. He was spot on on so many subjects. It will go down in the history books. Well done Joe.

All correct. I especially enjoyed watching the useful idiot House Speaker behind Biden imitating a nay saying bobblehead.

The President still has dementia. He just practiced a lot and got plenty of rest

Sorry, you're wrong. He's old and doesn't walk well but he'd not senile. People with dementia can't ad-lib.

“Sleepy”and “dementia”have always been right wing framing/narrative about Biden but not reality. The propaganda has been extremely effective, even with Dems; and he caused anxiety by skipping the Super Bowl —an unforced error imo

I took care of my Mother until she died. She had dementia. Not only does Joe Biden not have dementia, he made that weirdo Speaker Mike Johnson look pained throughout. Johnson is a nut job zealot, but he knew Biden won the election last night.

His face kinda showed that--no response possible to so many of Biden's points. Why? Because Democratic ideas are generally more popular if they can get them out there.

He had moments where he wasn’t sure whether to nod or shake his head because he’s such a useless puppet and he was only performing for the puppeteer anyway….

All else failed to take away from Biden’s clear-eyed focussed fury.

The MAGA GOP screwed itself underestimating him with its own propaganda.
