She wasn’t in the kitchen. She was in the dining room next to the kitchen. How do you know that GOP decided where to put her? Maybe she decided to do that.

Oh my...and you can't proofread your posts with lots of errors. Cast more stones

You got that right!! He was talking so fast he was barely intelligible, and the pitch of his voice didn't sound like him at all. The teleprompter could barely keep up. I wish there had been a close up of his dilated pupils!! Biden's childish criticism and rants directed at the GOP are going to come back to bite him in the ass. He did NOTHING to try to mend the rift between his party and the Republicans. All he did will drive the wedge further.

No he drove the wedge between his party and “ trump”..and the brainwashed maga cult. Hooray !

I still hold hope from republicans and true conservatives

BS. The only thing this SOTU will be recalled for is Biden's rant directed at the GOP and how much further he drove the partisan wedge between his party and the GOP. The fact-checkers are going to have field day correcting his exaggerations and outright lies. Here's some to start with per factcheck.org:
- Biden boasted that under his leadership “wages keep going up.” But over the entirety of Biden’s presidency, wages are down when adjusted for inflation.
- Biden claimed that the more recent U.S. inflation rate of about 3% is the “lowest in the world!” But several nations reported lower rates than the U.S. in December.
- He again claimed to have “cut the federal deficit by over one trillion dollars” — although declining deficits have mostly been the result of expiring emergency pandemic spending.
- Biden said he had created a “record” 15 million new jobs. His 14.8 million new jobs is a record for any president in the first three years, but it’s not the highest job growth rate that any president has achieved in that period of time.
- He suggested that “many” of the new jobs in U.S. semiconductor factories will be “paying $100,000 a year and don’t require a college degree.” But an industry trade group previously reported that only workers with bachelor’s or graduate degrees make that much.
- Biden said that, “My policies have attracted $650 billion in private sector investment in clean energy [and] advanced manufacturing.” Those are announcements about intentions to invest, not actual investments.
- Biden highlighted recent decreases in murder and violent crime rates, but neglected to mention that they are still coming down from their pandemic peak.
- Biden omitted context of a Trump comment following an Iowa school shooting.
- Biden said billionaires pay an average federal tax rate of only 8.2%, but that’s a White House calculation that includes earnings on unsold stock as income.
- Biden said that because of the Affordable Care Act, over 100 million people can no longer be denied health insurance due to preexisting conditions. But pre-ACA, employer plans covered many of those people and couldn’t deny policies.
- Biden said he was “cutting our carbon emissions in half by 2030.” That’s the U.S. goal, relative to 2005 emissions, but studies suggest current policies will not reduce emissions by that much.

When I have time, I'll post the fact checks to all of your bogus assertions. Until then, you'd be hard pressed to find anything negative about the Biden economy including the most recent jobs and inflation reports. The democrats still need to work on housing affordability as supply just isn't yet where it needs to be.

FrumCA

Yes, he predictably used Trump as a foil, but he did NOTHING to try to reach across the aisle to generate bipartisan support for some of the issues that are on the table. The entire speech was nothing more than a rant peppered with lies and exaggerations.

FrumCA

Have at it and take on the fact-checkers. Start with wages and inflation. You know, the things many Americans are mostly concerned with. This should be fun.

All politicians “ stretch the truth and spin the numbers”
And
The opposition always uses the “lies “
Unless
It’s their guys” stretching the truth and spinning the numbers “

Name one of the maga cult that has tried to reach across the aisle.


Thinking more in your post .
Biden did not hammer the republican congress or democratic congress. He said “ congress” should do its job
