Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #sotu, aggregated by home.social.

  1. #Spanberger, 46, is the second #CIA veteran in 2 years chosen to deliver the #Democratic Party’s formal response to Trump. Last year, it was Senator #ElissaSlotkin of #Michigan, a fellow #moderate who also first entered #Congress in 2018 & had also just won a statewide election. While #Slotkin warned last year that #Trump would increase the #CostOfLiving, Spanberger made a broader case that his admin was working against the #WellBeing of the American #people.

  2. Spanberger’s speech — & the selection of her to deliver it — signaled how #Democratic leaders want the party to be viewed in Trump’s second term: sober & serious officials who understand voters’ economic plight.

    A #moderate who is coming off a landslide election victory in #Virginia, #Spanberger gave a safe speech that struck the political notes #Democrats are aiming to press — that #Trump has hurt the economy & sowed #chaos with his policies.

  3. Why are the US #Democrats so absolutely #useless?

    "Oh, we might skip the State of the Union address to show our displeasure with the administration."

    Are you #morons? That would be a gift to Dear Leader and his #lickspittle #Congress. The #SOTU would be Mango Mussolini speaking to a friendly crowd, all happy, applauding, not a contrary expression to be seen. He'll be happy, smiling, at his most congenial as he basks in the warm glow. You do not do this.

    What you do is attend. Every #Democratic #house member and #senator. Every staffer and guest that they're entitled to bring. Everyone. You put them all in their assigned places.

    And then, when Trump gets up to speak, every single one of them simply turns away from the dictator. Turn their back to him, and *stay* that way for the whole speech. The #optics are great; the cameras show half the crowd with their backs to him, in obvious #protest. The #tyrant has to look at it all through his speech. He's angry. He's spiteful. He puts on a display for the ages, goes off-script, airing every #grievance his Swiss-cheese mind can dredge up. His body language is hostile. #Media coverage shows the event for what it actually is: a #vengeful, #lawless #authoritarian trying to verbally browbeat the legislative branch into submission.

    #DNC, I'm available for consulting if you'd like.

  4. The "State of the Union" address, or as it has come to be known in recent times, the "Airing of Grievances Prior to Taking Grampa's Phone Away, Changing his Diaper, and Putting Him to Bed".

    More seriously, unless they medicate him properly and do something to keep him on-script, Tuesday's performance is likely to be #legendary, and not in a good way.

  5. Awesome

    #Democrats tap #Michigan's #ElissaSlotkin to give rebuttal to #Trump's State of the Union address

    …[#Senate] freshman [but longtime #House of Representatives member & rockstar prior to serving in the Senate] US Sen #Slotkin will deliver the Democratic response to Trump's #SOTU address next week — propelling the state's junior senator into the national spotlight after she's spent just 2 months in the Senate.

  6. #SOTU #SarahHuckabee thinks talking about overcoming #cancer makes her look strong, completely overlooking the fact that #biden wants to restart the cancer #moonshot.
