To be amused at how the FERVENTLY "worried" anti-Biden peops have ignored SOTU, and the response?

Gone predictably quiet over here.

Perhaps seeing Biden present an impassioned, articulate, positive, and forward thinking, SOTU has y'all... tongue-tied?

Ohhhh. So this was one of those faux confusion posts I hear so much about… Sadly I don’t think my book has a chapter on that. Well color me embarrassed … maybe the 2nd addition has some helpful information.

Hooked on Phonics DOES lack depth, because it's for beginners.

Good luck with your further reading and comprehension.

May I suggest flash cards for your gatherings of of people too... removed to grasp political nuances?

You "failed to realize" a pro-Biden post was "propping up" a political agenda?

Dear me.

Please do consult some sort of guide before entertaining people. If you know any.

Ouch. Now I’m a glommer?

I sincerely apologize, I failed to realize you were using this thread to prop up your political agenda. I shall quietly back away and thumb through my “How to Host a Weird and Dystopian Gathering” guide. I think there is a chapter on “Ignoring Pointless Speeches For Fun and Profit” that I should pay close attention to.

Please go on… don’t let me stop (yes you should totally point out I missed a word here…fair is fair) you from whatever you were doing here.

Well I can imagine tiny pebbles do hate precipitation.

And now I’ve gone from the precipitator of the downfall to an insignificant shoe pebble… I’m sure I’ll be up lat tonight thinking about where it all went wrong.

Yeah no, I will give it as much thought as I did the SOTU.

The fact you glommed on to an autocorrect before I fixed it EXACTLY demonstrates your limited thought process.

Thanks for playing, have fun at your weird , dystopian, gatherings.

Don't up yourself like that, lol.

You're just another TINY pebble in the shoe. It's more tiresome than any real threat... the fact that you feel compelled to ANNOUNCE your non participation is sad, really.

Thanks! I didn’t think I’d be personally responsible for the downfall of civilization… but hey ‘Go big or go home’ as they say!

Hrm.

I honestly thought that sort juvenile cynicism was something one grew out of - especially when the stakes are a christo-fascist dystopia, or a better world.

Congrats on your ... perverse refusal to take any responsibility for the future, I... guess.

Maybe because the SOTU and response is basically a televised circlejerk that means nothing (no matter which side you support) 🤷‍♀️

I’m equal opportunity I skip both that and inauguration day nonsense for everyone

The only attack line the meatheads have managed to choke out so far is "he must be on drugs!"

None of them expected a barn-storming SOTU full of passion and fire, fluently and eloquently delivered. They and their orange-tinted mafia boss are running scared, and I agree OP - it's glorious.

Yep.

And that's even AFTER the report of how prescription drugs were handed out like candy during the Trump years.

Eight months of campaigning to go

Enjoy

Oh, I will, thanks. :)

Trump trials, economy continuing to improve, Republicans doubling down on incredibly unpopular dystopian policies... it's going to be fucking GLORIOUS. Again.
