SOTU chatter

[neverfstop]

Should be interesting....

The Gaza protests outside look huge
George Santos is on the floor  (WFT???)
Love the ladies in white
MTG is wearing some nonsense on her shirt

[neverfstop]

Many are wearing stickers with "153" on them to represent the days the hostages have been in captivity
Republicans are wearing "stop biden" buttons

[Bad Dingo]

I'm struck by how old so many of the people are.

I love the white outfits.

[Bad Dingo]

Ugh, I forgot we'd have to stare at Mike Johnson the whole time.

[beetea]

MTG and her maga hat is so repulsive.

[neverfstop]

all these grown adults trying to take selfies with POTUS seems so undignified.....somebody even handed biden a phone & had him take the selfie....
thanks- all of 'merica is waiting on you to figure out how to work your camera....

[icedcoffee]

I love love love the white.

He does look extremely uncomfortable at least.

somebody just shouted "LIAR" after Biden said my predecessor failed in his basic duty to "care" (re: COVID)

[katb]

What is the significance of women in white? Solidarity or something else?

IIRC, it's related to the history of women wearing white for the suffragette movements....they started doing it a few years back

This is good but OMG say “abortion.”

[neverfstop]

He's getting a few good laughs in....Didn't like his opening joke, but he moved on quickly & started his speech.

You know what is just crazy - sometimes Biden will have a presser or a meeting with a leader and he looks so old and talks and moves so slowly. Tonight he is talking so fast and I can’t even keep up. Like an energizer bunny.

I am not watching, so I have no additional context, but he has no room to talk on this issue. He has also failed to care. Yes, the former guy failed in many ways on this issue, but he has potentially been worse. He said he was going to do something about it and has not.

DH was just remarking on this, he's super revved up.

He knows we’re all worried that he’s old af!

"No billionaire should pay less tax than a nurse, teacher, or sanitation worker" says they paid 8% and wants a 20ish percent rate

I still get nervous when I see him on TV. He can’t misspeak or trip or anything.

[beerlover]

Who was the person wearing a tshirt with Trump's mug shot on it, under his jacket? Hilarious.

ETA I didn't realize until seeing a picture today that it said "never surrender" on it so, nevermind. I thought it was making fun of him, originally, when I just glanced at it.

[minzy]

He is doing better than I expected.

[icedcoffee]

MTG pisses me off for a million reasons but you’re at the fucking state of the union. Dress like a professional not like you’re at a sports game.

[icedcoffee]

Someone get him a Ricola.

[rupertpenny]

I love the cutaways to sad Marco Rubio

[minzy]

Finally, climate!
