It is very unusual to have same party "rebuttals" to a SOTU speech, and it speaks volumes to the fracturing of the democratic party. I can't remember it ever happening before, but I can't say it's never happened. I'm sure the DNC really doesn't like this, but probably agreed to allow it so they could have some oversight on what is going to be said by their own party members.

No matter why Tlaib and Aldred say they want to do it, and no matter what they say, it is not a good look for Biden to have his own party members coming behind him delivering a follow up. They say they are going to offer support for his programs, but it's also been leaked out they are going to attack moderate members of the party who don't support their progressive ideas. Either way it makes Biden look weak. Bill Maher said it perfectly by saying, "It's like sacking your own quarterback."
I read that Joe Manchin is sitting with the Repubs tonight. The wrong Joe is prez. Liked Manchin from way back.

Joe Biden Is An ‘Aspiring Tyrant,’ ‘Brutal Failure Of A President’




Ben Shapiro, co-founder and editor emeritus of The Daily Wire, put forward an alternate version of President Joe Biden’s first year in office after the commander-in-chief hailed his tenure thus far in his “State of the Union” address on Tuesday night.

Shapiro delivered “The Real State of the Union” address after Biden’s speech, ripping the elderly commander-in-chief as an “aspiring tyrant” held back by the United States’ constitutional foundations. Shapiro said:



Joe Biden promised America unity when he entered office. Instead, he labeled his fellow Americans enemies.
He encouraged businesses to bar the unvaccinated – even those with natural immunity – from public spaces. Then he sought to have them fired from their jobs en masse, in the single largest executive overreach in modern American history.
Joe Biden treated political dissenters as scum of the earth. Biden said those who didn’t agree with his plans to federalize voting procedures were aligned with Jim Crow and the Confederacy. Biden’s Justice Department cracked down on parents after being encouraged to do so by the National School Boards Association, which encouraged the DOJ to treat parents as domestic terrorists for opposing the indoctrination of their children into radical gender and race theory, for simply wanting to determine how their kids were educated. Joe Biden’s administration slurred traditionally moral Americans as retrograde bigots for the great sin of believing that men are men and women are women. Joe Biden’s White House encouraged social media to shut down critics for “misinformation” – and defined “misinformation” as anything the White House didn’t like. And then he and his lackeys said he was doing this in defense of The Science.
As it turns out, Joe Biden is not merely a brutal failure of a president. He is an aspiring tyrant, held back only by the strength of our constitutional structure – a structure he now wishes to overthrow by trashing the filibuster, issuing unconstitutional executive orders, and at least threatening to pack the Supreme Court.

Rashida Tlaib: Progressives Fought Hardest For Biden’s Agenda, But ‘Corporate-Backed Democratic Obstructionists’ And GOP Blocked It


“The Working Families Party is a voice for the multiracial working class, fighting for a nation that cares for all of us,” she said. “I’m a lifelong Democrat and I’m also part of the WFP, because I believe that our government must put the needs of working families first.”

During her speech, Tlaib did not rebuke Biden but rather praised him for his efforts while claiming that “no one fought harder for Biden’s agenda than progressives.”

However, “two forces stood in the way: a Republican Party that serves the rich and powerful,” Tlaib alleged, “And just enough corporate-backed Democratic obstructionists to help them succeed.”

Shapiro Hits The Biggest Lies From Biden’s SOTU



Joe Biden also told you tonight that “corporations and the wealthiest Americans” aren’t paying their fair share of taxes. That, again, is a lie. The highest-income Americans pay nearly all net income taxes, after government benefits, in the United States. Joe Biden said that inflation could be blamed on “exploitation” by corporations – another lie. Inflation is a monetary phenomenon. Corporations didn’t get more greedy last year. Joe Biden just became president.

And Joe Biden said that “we will never just accept living with COVID-19.” Another lie. Most Americans have been living free since vaccines became available. Only Democratic panic-mongering has prevented more Americans from doing the same, not COVID itself.

Joe Biden said tonight that the right to vote is under assault: another lie. Widespread voter suppression is not an issue in the United States. Joe Biden simply means he wants to rig the voting rules the way he prefers.

17 Absurd Lies Biden Told During His State Of The Union Speech



‘Freedom Will Always Triumph Over Tyranny’

Biden opened his speech by praising the lack of Covid-19 theater in the legislative chambers and claiming that “freedom will always triumph over tyranny.”

The audacious claim comes just a few months after the president tried to force the coronavirus jab on American workers, pushed his administration to work with Big Tech to censor his political opponents, and smeared Republicans as domestic terrorists for caring about their children’s education.

Powerful Sanctions Stopped Russia

Days after Biden said U.S. sanctions against Russia weren’t expected to “prevent anything from happening” in the Ukraine conflict, the president claimed that he leveraged powerful punishments against Vladimir Putin, which stopped the Eastern European in his tracks.


“A Russian dictator, invading a foreign country, has costs around the world,” Biden said. “And I’m taking robust action to make sure the pain of our sanctions is targeted at Russia’s economy.”

Twenty-four hours before Biden’s contradictory statement, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that the sanctions “are meant to have a deterrent impact” against Russia.

Vice President Kamala Harris, national security adviser Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and other Cabinet members also promoted sanctions as a way to stop Putin from invading Ukraine.

I’m Always Honest

- When a politician has to say he is ' honest ' he's lying all the time

‘The American Rescue Plan Worked’

Trump’s Tax Cuts Only Helped the Rich

‘I Created Lots of Jobs’




Buying American Products Is a Priority

Biden said buying American products is a priority for his administration but has conveniently avoided reinstating U.S. energy independence by cutting off Russian oil supplies and lifting his ban on American drilling.

Biden’s lie also ignored the fact that the White House recently defended buying at least $1.3 billion worth of Covid-19 rapid tests from China to disseminate to Americans instead of relying on locally-sourced ones.

I would rather be kicked in the balls than to have to listen to Joe Biden mumble his way through his speech.
Listening to the Muslim and Black responses would be another swift kick.
The republican response will be soft pedaled and cowardly.

I guess I will just wait until Wednesday and see what appears here from people who are masochists and listen to all of this.
Dead nuts on.

This Was the Most Infuriating Part of Biden's State of the Union Speech


Well, that was painful.

The word is Joe Biden had to rewrite his State of the Union Dumpster Fire speech because of the Russia/Ukraine conflict, and you could tell. It was an awkward, choppy speech that made me cringe at times.

But, perhaps the worst and most infuriating thing about the speech, aside from the blatant lies about his record, was what was missing.

Joe Biden was so desperate for a 9/11 anniversary photo op that he set an arbitrary date for withdrawing from Afghanistan, without any conditions for the Taliban, causing a disastrous evacuation that resulted thousands of Americans left behind and 13 U.S. service members dead.
