NM11046 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Anybody who was watching or who has this morning heard about what went on last night should be ashamed of this party that calls themselves one of the people. What a $hitshow. And it wasn't just Three Toes. You've got Mitt Romney (god bless him) telling off the Catch Me If You Can criminal on the floor, Marge and her gang screaming at the President of the United States, we are really at a crossroads here - I think the only thing that pulls folks together is a massive tragedy, and I'm not even sure a 911 could at this point. 1 1 Link to comment

I didn’t watch, but I am ashamed to have MTG and her ilk in the party. I hate that people don’t give the President respect during the SOTU. Quit with the yelling out liar, etc….. I also believe that President’s should not be lying and dividing people during the SOTU address. It should be a time for unification and for the President to set out his and eventually her priorities. 2 Link to comment

But look: if the citizens of Utah keep voting for this moron, why do we unnecessarily keep them chained by the tentacles of socialism? Let their citizens opt out. Their taxes can them be used to pay off the debt they've accumulated, since Utah collects far more than it receives in federal taxes. 2 1 Link to comment

Don't take Biden's word for it. Take Mitch McConnell's word on Senator Scott's (R) plan. 3 2 Link to comment

Just the mere fact that he straight up reminded everyone watching that Republicans are threatening making cuts to/eliminating SS and Medicare was a W. So called sleepy Joe with the ol' rope a dope. No way. 2 1 Link to comment

Gotta be honest here and say I’m not going back and watching SOTU, and don’t want to just see snippets because that isn’t fair to Joe if things were taken out of context. If he didn’t lie, I take your word for it. this isn’t an argument about Joe, The sentence in my earlier post didn’t reference Joe specifically anyways. It mentioned “Presidents”, which include Trump, Obama, Bush who have all told some verifiably untrue whoppers during their speeches. 2 2 Link to comment

We all seem to agree here so what’s your issue? 2 Link to comment

But, just to clarify, he mentioned SOME Republicans want SS, Medicare and Medicaid to sunset. He even said it's not a majority. But, he will not even consider the option. He then was yelled at as a liar and Lee, who is in the video above saying that he wants to do that exact same thing, is shown acting like the comment was crazy. Biden then asked them all to agree to not cut SS, Medicare or Medicaid and they all stood up and clapped. It was a big win for Biden and Americans that count on those programs. 1 minute ago, Archy1221 said: So I am correct in saying Republicans do not have a policy position of getting rid of SS and Medicare?
