In other news, I guess USC will have to find a new football coach.

Now Republicans are mad because Biden is too energetic.

They really have nothing to go after with this speech. He is killing it

The GOP really had its official response delivered by a woman sitting at the kitchen table?

This era of politics will not go down in history for its subtlety.

Repubs are disgusting. They aren't people. They are just screaming baboons and monkeys at this point.

I found it a wise choice for Katie Britt to drum up fear of sexual assault by illegal immigrants and then quickly pivot to telling us that the only solution is to elect a guy that has recently been found to have sexually assaulted someone.

"Recently found"?

Never met her

When I heard Katie's stories of 70 year olds all I could think of was

You actually just hit the nail on the head. The problem we have is that sane people are voting for insane candidates. Those morons yelling at the president are the Republican Party and they have been put there by people that would, by and large, not yell at a person giving a speech.

Yes?

The assault happened in the mid-90s, but it wasn’t until last May (2023) that a jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll.

My wife is literally the demographic they need and was horrified by her speech. The part about worrying about putting dinner on the table was particularly egregious. They could not be more out of touch with suburban females if they tried.

That Katie Britt speech was painful to watch.

"This...could have been...my daughter....this....could have been.....yours...."

The thought processed seemed to be, we need white woman tears to combat the abortion and women's Healthcare narrative. Let's get the female senator from Alabama.

Just found out. I can't imagine what it is like for this guy but screaming at the president during the state of the union probably not the best idea.


Gold Star father charged with misdemeanor for heckling Biden at SOTU

She is a MAGA "Karen". The epitome of trailer-park-trash and an embarrassment to the country. On a related note, isn't there some kind of dress code that is enforced for a State of the Union Address?

There is and the Sergeant at Arms asked her to remove the offending clothing and she refused.

A new low. We've now reached the point where animalistic rhetoric passes as an acceptable way to express our difference on this forum.

Anybody surprised?

Well it looks like Jonathan M. Katz has caught @SenKatieBritt in a pretty significant lie. pic.twitter.com/rbRa17dL2L

But a new high in sanctimony from you, congratulations!

Trump opposes the TikTok ban. Biden supports it. Might TikTok be an actual campaign issue between the two?

Worth noting that Trump changed his mind conveniently after receiving a large check from them.

Gonna be something when the GOP, who have been leading the charge against Tik Tok, turn around and refuse to pass a bill that does anything to silence Tik Tok.

As a grown man, isn't this just emasculating?

Are you sure that's the side of this you want to be on?

What would (very legitimately) be the reaction if this kind of language were used about ethnic minorities?

We have always been at war with eastasia.

I guess the gop response at the kitchen table was misleading with lies to support a false narrative

Love politics

I remember her saying something like this...

"I know a 70 year old that had to take a job just to afford his medicaiton and get food. Enough is enough. The reason for this is....
because CEOs of companies are greedy and don't care about anybody but themselves. They raise the prices for more bonuses for themselves and their cronies. We suffer. Then they make huge donations to their republican politicians because politicians will remove all regulations and rules that keep them from making even MORE money. Enough is enough. Don't vote republican."

Katie Britt's response is just like this.

Bibi making it very clear who his preference is in this election.

Netanyahu vows to defy Biden’s ‘red line’ and invade Rafah – POLITICO

Trump gutting RNC staff.

1. This cannot be good for the party in an election year. Lots of institutional knowledge is going to go out of the door with those staffers.

2. This ensures that, no matter how unelectable Trump becomes, there is no way he will not get the nomination.

He also openly tossed the idea of cutting social security today.

Yesterday, Dementia Donny was at a rally talking about how bills have him 6 points ahead of Biden.

Oh, and even Bannon called him out the flip on Tik Tok after meeting with one of their largest investors, who happens to be a GOP donor.

The RNC is now his personal slush fund and down ballot races will be massively effected. I am curious to see what their donation numbers look like.

Dry run for what he wants to do to the government.

If that "knowledge" is centered on "how to maintain the swamp" then good riddance.

So the GOP and the Trump campaign and the Trump Org are now all the same thing.

LFG!!!!!

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has recently approached #Jets QB Aaron Rodgers and Jesse "The Body" Ventura about serving as his running mate on an independent presidential ticket, and both have welcomed the overtures, per the @nytimes. https://t.co/kLe8FfklnB

If Rodgers doesn't play for the Jets because of this it will simply be the most Jets thing ever for all time.

Yup. There will be no guard rails in his Cabinet if he is re-elected.

Hey man, the Bears need a place to dump Fields.

Gov. Noem is probably being paid to endorse a dentistry practice in TX.

If she wasn't so obviously horny for publicity, she'd really be perfect for Trump's VP.

While some of it is certainly that, Jon, there's a nonpartisan viewpoint to this that the work of staging a national campaign requires a lot of tactical and on-the-ground experience and expertise and a lot of it was shown the door.

It would be as if someone bought FedEx and fired most of the people who knew how logistics worked.

I saw a headline that called this the worst matchup possible, on the basis that vast swathes of the electorate dislike both candidates, which got me thinking:

Question 1: If we go on the basis of "both candidates least liked or least inspiring", is it? My guess is yes. I can't think of a POTUS election with candidates who beat this election on that test. Take it further, I'm not sure I can think of a POTUS election with candidates who come close (in the post-WWII era).

Question 2: Is that the right question? Leaving aside the ramifications of one or another winning, is it worse to have two disliked/uninspiring candidates like this, or an election like in 84 or 88 where one candidate was a complete no-hoper and the election was a foregone conclusion from the beginning?

Maybe you could throw Hillary on the Biden ticket.

Wonder if any historians have weighed in but this has to be one of the worst Presidential matchups in history.

The ratings are going to be a disaster!

Color me surprised

So many GOPers want to be VP because they hope Trump will die.

I just don't see how a closeted black man is going to be the VP choice of the Republican Party.

I wouldn't have thought a former Democratic, thrice-married, serial business failure and adulterer would be the leader of the pro-business, pro-evangelical Republican Party, but here we are.

The current GOP electorate cares about discomfiting "liberals" (defined as anyone they don't like) above all else, and doesn't really care who does it. In theory, anyone could be a vessel for that.
