State of the Union 2024 (1 Viewer)

First thoughts thus far...

• I really wish Biden would've started on something other than Trump.
• Either MTG is broke or cheap walking around with a Trump 2020 cap on. She's totally in on trying to be VP.
• Not only does Mike Johnson have a very punchable face, he just looks very creepy up there. He looks so out of place.
• Joe is showing energy tonight.

Was just reading about it on Twitter. It was evidently very much … something. Also, tell me the GOP didn’t pick a young woman to give the response and have her sitting in her kitchen? Really?

Who thought it was a good idea to have her give that speech from her kitchen?

Me too. I think that’s a good thing for both of us. The more I read about people brought up in strict Fundamentalist churches - I think they were somewhat traumatized.

Mike Johnson tried his best to look like a disappointed schoolteacher in the back

Biden exceeded my expectations. Hopefully he has 8 more months of that left in him.

Biden is getting some backlash for using the term 'illegal' but that aside, baller move

So much projection. That’s all the GOP does these days.

President Biden didn’t seem to want State of the Union night to end.


Biden took about 35 minutes between his speech finishing and exiting the House chamber — shaking hands, chatting with members of Congress and answering questions until the lights started to switch off around him.
