Dark Brandon is in the House!
President Joe Biden pulled out all the stops in one of the most rousing State of the Union speeches ever.
With Sleepy Joe nowhere to be found, Biden didn’t mince words during a bombastic and powerful 66-minute takedown of the disgraced ex-president, who he only referred to as his predecessor and never by name. Brilliant!
Biden came in hot and quickly addressed the urgency of supporting Ukraine, the ongoing threats to democracy stemming from the Jan. 6 insurrection, and standing for reproductive rights.
And while Republicans continue to question Biden’s mental fitness, the 81-year-old wasn’t afraid to address his age and showed off his quick wit by going off script on multiple occasions. In addition to clapping back at Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s outbursts, Biden tangled with Republicans for sinking his bipartisan border deal on Trump’s command.
As far as the LGBTQ+ community, he kept it brief but continued to show his unwavering support.
“I want to protect fundamental rights. Pass The Equality Act,” he noted. “And my message to transgender Americans: I have your back.”
The rambunctiousness of the night even permeated the styles choices seen inside the Capitol. From over-the-top MAGA clown costumes to understated designer ensembles, many of the Congress elite took the opportunity to show off their fashion finery… with varying degrees of success.

MTG just proves that some blondes actually ARE dumb.
abfab
And very unfullfilled. The peroxide has stunted her brain.
GayEGO
Right on! (Even though I went from Golden Blonde, to Dark Blonde, to Silver Blonde) Marjorie Taylor Greene wears the MAGA HAT which means – Make America Gag Again! :>)

“MTG models the latest from Gap QAnon. This lewk goes from an Insurrection in the day to a KKK rally at night. It’s so wrong it’s far-right.”
Worth repeating, Johnny!
LOLOL!!!
abfab
Anything relating to MTG should now be relegated to the ”entertainment section”.
dmd911
MTG needs some gay friends to help her dress. She has absolutely no fashion sense! But I guess that’s what happens when a person is clueless.
abfab
She has them. They’re called Log Cabin Republicans. Get it where ya can, honey.

What will MTG and George Santos (Baron Wiseman) do now—–Joe Biden took the pin, held it up and said the murder victim’s name in plain English.

I want to know why the republicans put a bobble-head doll in the Speaker’s chair.
abfab
Mike Johnson is the new Ronbo Desantis. He looked irritated. Dumb. Puzzled. And yes, he’s now the new bobble head model for 2024.
abfab
MTG was in full clown regalia (MAGA crap) last night. George Santos (Baron Wiseman) looked puffier than ever and drunk.
Pres Biden made us all very, very proud. A good night. We did not watch the republican Alabamian whore who gave, what is she calling it, a ”rebuttal”? Everyone said she was about as smart as bale of hay.

Could we not try to call out the pathetic right-wing commenters here? If we say nothing about their delusional comments we will only have to read one, rather than an endless escalation of bitchy blathering.

“Ahead of the president’s arrival there, members of the Supreme Court filed in. Interestingly, Justice Clarence Thomas did not attend. It’s nice to know he’s willing to recuse himself from something.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
dmd911
Too bad he won’t just recuse himself from the Supreme Court in general!
abfab
It’s too bad we have a Supreme Court. SAY MY NAME! SUPREME!

A surprisingly coherent speech, but he fumbled Laken Riley’s name. That gives red meat to his detractors. He also still hasn’t offered condolences to the fallen soldiers in Afghanistan.
abfab
Joe Biden spent most of his life dealing with and fighting on through stuttering. He’s now President. You must have a clever excuse about your heartless comment. I’m sure you have read and spoken with perfection though yours.
Your expectations of him and his offerings (which you now nothing about) are worthless and all in vain.
uncutjim
And it should be noted that Greene gave him the pin. Biden didn’t plan on mentioning it otherwise. And now, her parents are publicly pissed and a tool for the right. Greene scored in one regard last night.
abfab
Score!

Well, someone should give condolences to the THOUSANDS (1000s > 13) of “fallen US soldiers” who ended up in Iraq and Afghanistan and were badly injured or died there thanks to George W. Bush. And then apologize to the countless dead and injured citizens of both countries.
I wish that just once we would acknowledge that thanks to W Bush we had a 10+ year war in Iraq, that devastated that country, and a 20-year war in Afghanistan (not just the pullout!), that devastated that country, together both deeply destabilized the Middle East, and burned through hundreds of millions of US taxpayer dollars.
Today Iran is stronger, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon are basket cases, nothing has been done to address the need for a Palestinian state, Al Qaeda and Isil are back, and the Shi’ites now control Iraq and the Taliban are yet again in control in Afghanistan, all on the pretext that the US was trying to get Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind 9/11, who turned out to be in…Pakistan!

What will MTG and George Santos (Baron Wiesman) do now—–Joe Biden took the pin, held it up and said the murder victim’s name in plain English.
A new cause célèbre—so they at least project the illusion of staying busy…doing a job. Eating red meat, perhaps.

Santos looks like he’s wearing a diaper. The Democrats definitely showed which party has more class.
Jimmynj
MTG is just a nasty, repugnant See You Next Tuesday. She calls out Dems for not dressing appropriately, yet she did just that, wearing her trashy MAGA hat. She’s useless in Congress and the world. She needs to crawl back into the gutter where she belongs.

I love the GOP reaction to his speech. Biden was robust, on point, emphatic, and aggressive. The individual GOP response? “Ouch, he’s shouting; he’s too loud” The cogintive dissonance between ‘Sleepy Joe” and “Ouch, he’s shouting” sounds like a bunch of grumpy old men on a porch who can’t hear and when you speak up they wonder why you’re shouting. These people are unfit to lead.
GayEGO
MAGA really means – Make America Gag Again, but the Trump supporters must have brain damage to realize that wearing MAGA caps is destructive!
abfab
This just might be be the right time for a new acronym. Hey, let’s ask MAGAts if that word means anything to them.
The real Bruce
I really wish there was another way to identify that malignancy from Georgia instead of MTG. It too closely resembles RBG, the late legendary Supreme Court Justice. I’d prefer Mad Margie or Maga Gaga Green. And I agree with the others that she was a total wardrobe malfunction.

MAGA TG or MAGA Taylor Greene would both work just fine.
