State of the Union Speech 2023 (reaction)

[Bradskii]

I didn’t clock any drag queens in the galleries, so I guess Rudy Giuliani wasn’t in attendance?

Last time I saw him, he was dressed as Jack In The Box.

 

[Pommer]

Interesting, people watch the State of the Union Address looking in the galleries for 80 year old men dressed as woman?

In passing, as it were, I didn’t do a slo-mo replay to ascertain whether Rudy got all dolled up, just “didn’t clock” it.

Isn't it possible to agree that the office of POTUS, as opposed to whatever anyone thinks of the person holding that position, should be treated with a certain degree of respect? So that when something like the State Of The Union address is being made, people don't go on like a pork chop.

Interesting video when Joe was in favor of budget freezes.

Seems when the Democrats are in control. It is a different story.

George Santos was there, but wearing a suit, not his Kitara Rivache outfit.

As usual in politics. When R's get into the White House, deficits and the debt always go haywire.

Speaking of respect; there is a donor that comes into my plasma center and wears a shirt that says Joe and the (rythmes with Joe) gotta go. Total disrespect!

Asked my supervisor if we could have him turn his shiet inside out ando I was blown off. My supervisor is a republican of course. It doesnt bother me that the guy is a Republican, it's the disrespect shown towards the VP and it is offensive!

And immigration suddenly spirals out of control.

Romney rebuked him for glad-handing up front.

One: He started with the lie everyone knew he would. Creating 12 mil new jobs. Hogwash. He inherited the fastest growing recovery in history.

Two: Thank goodness we have a Speaker who is an adult, unlike the former petulant child who ripped up the State of the Union Speech on national tv.

I have not watched the full speech as of yet, but the President is a well established “Divider in Chief” in his approach to ruling. He certainly seemed to initiate an us v them scenario once again. He United only those who dare not disagree with him.

Either 12 million jobs were created while he was president or they were not. If that happened, and it did, then it's not a lie.

Create is the key word: def. to make or bring into existence something new

joe did not bring into existence something new. The job market repopulated jobs that we’re sidelined during Covid.

People went BACK to work.

Good grief, even CNN can see that.

President Joe Biden said in his State of the Union address that his administration has "created, with the help of many people in this room, 12 million new jobs — more jobs created in two years than any president has ever created in four years.”​

Facts First: Biden’s number is accurate: the US economy added 12.1 million jobs between Biden’s first full month in office, February 2021, and January 2023. That number is indeed higher than the number of jobs added in any previous four-year presidential term. ​

​

However, it’s important to note that Biden took office in an unusual pandemic context that makes meaningful comparison to other periods very difficult. Biden became president less than a year after the economy shed nearly 22 million jobs over two months, March and April 2020, because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The jobs recovery then began immediately after that, under then-President Donald Trump, but there was still an unprecedented hole to fill when Biden took office. ​

​

​

Biden is free to argue that his stimulus legislation and other policies have helped the country gain jobs faster than it otherwise would have. (As always, it’s debatable precisely how much credit the president deserves for job-creation.) Nonetheless, it is clear that there could only be such an extraordinary number of jobs added in 2021 and 2022 because there was such an extraordinary number of jobs lost in early 2020.​

What are you talking about?

I was talking about how biden should stop doing so with his reckless spending policies, just as the post you replied to said.

 

[Aldebaran]

I’m surprised that you didn’t mention how he smells funny too.

Most of us don't own a smellavision, but thank you for providing us with your insight.

1.) What "reckless spending policies"?, and
2.) How is he holding the economy hostage with them?

Where was Sam Brinton?

Funny. Trump inherited a growing economy and yet I seem to recall you and a host of others crediting him with all manner of job creation, despite numerous metrics showing that GDP and unemployment trends during the his administration merely followed the same rates that they did under Obama. Why are you suddenly a stickler for such details?

1. If you had been paying attention to his policies over the past couple years, you'd know.
2. He ran our debt right up to the limit, and won't cooperate with the Republicans to cut spending.

That’s exactly why deficits & the debt are dealt with by the GOP during Democratic Presidencies!

The time for cutting spending is when the budget is developed and passed.
