The Biden Administration and All Things Politics

I think they had to develop a special way to fire on a balloon and or modified a manually laser targeted guidance system onto a jet fired missile.

I was expecting them to fire bullets at the thing because I highly doubt their standard missiles will target a balloon.

Not that any of that couldn't have existed and been ready to go. I don't know. But I just don't see why any of that would be used in standard aviation missiles. Shooting a large very slow moving target that likely isn't particularly hot, like the exhaust from a jet engine or enemy missile, isn't what current aircraft missiles do, not in the air.

If everything else he said about himself weren't a provable lie, I would give him a lot more benefit of the doubt.

As for the Chick-Fil-A thing, while a gay man might buy a bunch of it, there is no way a gay man involved in politics in our society would be unaware of the semiotics of it.

This is besides the point and days late but can I just say that all the gay dudes I know love Chick-Fil-A. The deliciousness overcomes the hate. I'm not a believer in the effectiveness of "vote with your wallet" energy anyways.

Disregard my last post. You were talking about the State Of The Union address im sure now. I didn't even know about it lol. I was driving to work this morning and had the radio on KSL 1160 news radio and they were talking about Bidens State Of The Union address. They seemed to think he did a really good job. They were saying that the republicans in congress were having outbursts and that was when Biden was at his best. When he had to go off script. I was surprised by that comment as I would expect him to struggle with hecklers. They also were saying that Kevin Mcarthy had to "shush" his party multiple times like they were children lol.
They also said that Biden mentioned republicans wanting to cut SS and medicare and that the republicans booed and so Biden said, I guess they dont want to do that. They were saying that they think he did that strategically to use as leverage when they are trying to negotiate budget stuff and try to avoid a government shutdown or whatever. They also said that he kind of went over some of the accomplishments that his administration has already achieved and they saw it as the beginning of his campaign for reelection.
Nice to hear that the radio hosts on KSL (who I would assume would lean conservative/republican due to the mormon religion influence. Though they seem pretty unbiased whenever I listen to them.) thought Biden did a great job.

Yeah those are the major highlights. He really did play the hecklers with the social security thing. It was pretty entertaining.

Great recap.

As far as the bolded, yes they are children, with Boebert and Green as the class clowns.

After Shouts of 'Liar' and Worse, Biden Takes on His Detractors in Real Time

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden was about midway through a speech of about 7,218-words on Tuesday when a Republican lawmaker tried to shut him down with a single one: “Liar!” It was Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, whom the president had baited by accusing Republicans of wanting to...
www.yahoo.com www.yahoo.com

Times have changed. Republican lawmakers shouted both “liar” and “********” at parts of Biden’s speech, and no one appeared shocked.

Though McCarthy appeared willing to play peacemaker at moments when tensions threatened to boil over — the speaker shushed Republicans who yelled at Biden for calling to codify citizenship for Americans brought to the United States as children — his role over the next months will be to oppose virtually all of Biden’s agenda. (this is sad to me. Before even knowing what legislation Biden admin wants to pass, the leader of the republicans in congress "role" is to simply go against it no matter what.)

Some lawmakers even prepared to mock Biden in advance: Greene carried a white helium balloon around the Capitol, mocking Biden’s response to a giant Chinese spy balloon that traversed the United States this past week before an American F-22 blew it up off the coast of South Carolina. (MTG is a child)

At points, Biden turned down the volume, calling for police reform by spotlighting the grieving parents of Tyre Nichols, who died after a brutal beating on Jan. 7 at the hands of Memphis police officers. The president emphatically called for more research to end cancer. And he spoke directly to “forgotten” Americans who are struggling financially.

“Jobs are coming back,” Biden said. “Pride is coming back, because of choices we made in the last several years.”

When asked if Biden was prepared for the jeers from Republicans, a senior administration official said the news media had underestimated him — a common refrain from Biden’s advisers.

Jeff Nussbaum, a former Biden speechwriter, praised Biden for “doing a great job of seeking common ground and defining sacred ground.”

The president had a shaky start on the teleprompter as he raced through his remarks and mangled some lines, although he had plenty of energy. He got an even bigger burst once the Republicans heckles and boos began, and was most animated when he veered off the teleprompter and addressed them directly before a live television audience of millions.

When the president returned to the White House late Tuesday night, the staff stood and applauded him.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders' 'Normal Or Crazy' Challenge Backfires Spectacularly

There's one line her critics agreed with — but probably not in the way she was hoping.

Lol

I like this first comment in the comments section that popped up:
My God that was embarrassing! There was poor Speaker McCarthy, knowing he was on camera, trying repeatedly to shush the party over which he carries not an once of control... or respect.
While almost behaving like civilized adults early on, Republicans went certifiably crazy as Biden's State of the Union progressed. Did they honestly imagine they were in Middle School detention?
As for Biden, my admittedly lukewarm esteem for him is greatly improved, particularly for his handling of the out-of-control children in the audience. He also showed a presidential dignity of which the former president is simply incapable, preferring to throw loud public tantrums while repeating lies that had already been debunked.
