Gone predictably quiet over here.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Wow… these last comments are really aggressive and quite hurtful. Is everything ok?

You seem awfully invested in people’s viewing habits of political speeches.

I'm genuinely sorry you feel hurt.

Was responding to your ... flippant attitude in a like way.

Sorry you can't field a similar response in the same way you put it out there.

Is everything OK with YOU?

Appreciate your concern… it’s been a rough week. Clearly nothing good on TV just a lot of “blah blah blah”

Probably head to bed soon. Lots of reading and nefarious deeds through neglect to plan for.

Hope you get some likeminded people to chat with.

Hope things improve for you, too. It's FUCKING TOUGH FOR EVERYBODY right now, so I get it, honestly. :)

Hahaha you're really invested in the US elections aren't you? 😂😆😂😆😂

TooFondOfBooks · 09/03/2024 04:46

Um, @Ilovelifeverymuch , I’m reasonably sure OP is American 🤦‍♀️

Edit:
Apologies for not contributing better OP, I’ve not had a chance to watch the SOTU - though had heard it was something of a tour de force & ofc TwiX = abuzz. I did read about the nod to Sweden joining NATO: absolutely masterful that alone. (Still can’t quite believe Trump is the Republican nominee. Absolute madness so.)

Hecate01 · 09/03/2024 04:52

I think MN has ignored this because the majority of us are from the UK and have enough going on with our shit show politicians to worry about. Maybe as the actual election gets closer people will be more interested but as we can't vote we are just spectators.

And yet, there were 329 responses to a recent thread of "concern" about Biden.

Makes you wonder. :)
