President Joe Biden has delivered his most important State of the Union yet. The theme seemed to be, loosely: History is watching as we stare down threats at home and abroad.

He invoked Donald Trump throughout, referring to him as “my predecessor,” to draw contrasts with his presidential record, his values and his vision for the country.

Republican heckling was limited, and an extremely enthusiastic congressional Democratic caucus helped buoy him throughout.

  1. I truly hope this is not only a touting of his accomplishments, which I’m big enough to admit that he’s exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds, but may he be sharp, on point and no verbal gaffes that our broken Fourth Estate pounces on. More, I would like a scathing rebuke of the orange d!ckface (sorry, my New Jersey can no longer contain my disdain for a man I wouldn’t urinate on if he were on fire. I’ve censored it as far as I’m willing to go.) and what may become of the Great Experiment should orange sh!tstain be re-elected.

  2. Irony is dead.

    “ The Texas woman who gained national attention after she sued to end her nonviable pregnancy will be among the guests of first lady Jill Biden.”

    Q. Why is it the party (GOP) which vociferously claims to be the party of small government is the one that attempts to dictate what people must do in such awful situations, which should be between a woman and her doctor, where not only a woman’s life but also her ability to have children in the future and put in harm’s way?

    A. The party and its position are hypocritical.

  3. I still sniff glue. And I’m not quittin’ today.

    Hello, is this thing on?

    This is quite a shock to see on TPM, where we engage only in polite and organized debate.

    ETA: Meant to add, I’m sure Biden will give the fuckwit his due.
