Wish he got rid of the crutches, "look" and "folks." Style wise it's terribly distracting and detracts from content.

Would like to see more detail of make stuff in the US concept
How, exactly, is that going to happen.

The attack on pharmaceutical companies is tired. Everyone does it because of course people want lower prescription costs. But how, exactly, do we do that?

He's right on allowing Medicare negotiating on prescriptions. And everybody knows it.

The child care issue is obvious. But again what are the specifics? How will we pay for that? Implement it?


Overall, as SOTUs go, a solid B. Reaction was good and GOP was responsible and I think good for show of unity at an important time so I give them kudos for that.

Hope Putin saw that and realized his actions have, at least for a time, caused political leadership to rally on one point, which is that we won't sit by on this.

So far.... will let you know if I have other reactions.

He’s a stupid ass

 

[volinbham]

attack business - yeah that's the problem

The craziest thing, Bondo hardener cream has become impossible to find.

We had to switch primer and undercoating a few times because the harder and reducer wasn't being produced.

 

[kiddiedoc]

So let’s see we’re gonna lower costs by implementing price controls.

We’re gonna increase taxes on businesses.

And we’re gonna bring bag jobs from overseas and pay higher wages.

F$&@ing genius plan. Why didn’t anyone just spell it out like this before.

Just shut up and buy American. No matter how much it costs. Your drugs will be cheaper so you'll be fine. Not sure how, but *whisper voice* let's get this done. Oh and your preschoolers can go to school free. And, more projects.

Here is the inflation excuse

 

[Carl Pickens]

To look at, sure. Then she speaks and ruins it.

Well you know how to fix that

I think moist was your first reaction.

This is abysmal for the country…

Stop hating America you capitalist pig.

 

[BreatheUT]

Looks like Nancy & Kamala are rolling their eyes at Joe for talking stupid.

Nancy hasn't heard a word. She's concerned about adjusting her false teeth with her tongue.

K'ma'la is still wondering what her responsibilities are.

A guy here at Rafferty's was trying to get one of the basketball games switched over to that crap. Looks like they have it on one of the TVs away from the bar.

Which raferteys? Where are you eating raferteys?

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

This man is an idiot. He's all over the place.

 

[volinbham]

it's staggering that anyone believes these are inflation busting policies

 

[GAVol]

Cut costs…. then a laundry list of entitlements.

 

[utvolmaniac]

Lifting mask mandates was good… but not for this event. Have to look at VP Giggles and evil Nancy behind Brandon.

 

[NEVolFan]

Way to generous of a curve my man... this is all bull sheit.

It’s just a big pile of BS

Pocahontas looks like she's about to cry.

 

[volinbham]

more than 1 million lost someone - about 1 million were lost

 

[NorthDallas40]

Any economist watching this tripe should be unleashing a continuous blood curdling scream at the screen.

 

[GAVol]

This is doubling down on inflation. It’s like somebody gave Jimmy Carter a Red Bull.

I do construction, we use it for wood filler. I have found some on Amazon but it takes 2 weeks to arrive.

 

[allvol123]

Not sure how he gets any of his wants done with the next Congress.

 

[Orangeburst]

IOW...Biden claims he killed COVID

 

[kiddiedoc]

Oh LORDY, here we go!
