SOTU Address ... Are they showing this on MSNBC or CNN?

[Hanafuda]

I'm guessing no.

She's leading a mass chant, "Biden, Biden, You're a liar!! People want a cease fire!!"

Gotta eat my words ... they did just show them on CNN, as the protest is apparently blocking the President's motorcade to the Capitol. Kinda unavoidable to have to show it now ... but they made sure those banners were waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the background lol.

Was shown on both from what I've seen. Bit of a hollow message though given the Biden administration has been pushing for a cease-fire for weeks now, and Hamas just rejected the newest proposal. Trump when asked about it recently said Israel should quote, "go into Gaza and finish the problem," so not a great alternative there either. Best the US can do for now is continue to air drop aid to the Palestinians, since the far-right nutjob Netanyahu has been massacring civilians with Israel's Trojan horse aid trucks.

I never watched a SOTU address, but is it normal for the President to say a few things, and then wait for the crowd to stop clapping? It's pretty annoying, and reminds me of boxing, how the boxers hug, and then the ref breaks them up.

And yea, the shit happening in the "holy land" is extremely fucked up. And we're funding it, lol.

Pretty typical yeah, they don't want part of the speech drowned out by applause or other reaction noise. The best modern SOTU addresses are the ones I don't feel obligated to watch lol.

How about that shit show of a Republican response to Bidens speech? I've seen Syfy original movies with better acting. It was flat out weird, disturbing, and creepy. At first I though they accidently started showing an infomercial. A person has to be incredibly fucking DUMB to fall for that pathetic circus act.

That's not what's happening though. Biden is ordering the Navy (and private war contractors, I expect) to build a harbour in Gaza, where "aid" ships can be landed. Boots on the ground.

How did I know that's all you'd have to say after Joes great speech and that infomercial shit-fest of a Republican response? Other Republicans are even trashing Katie Britt for that stupidity.

That period was a placeholder after I accidentally hit "post" before finishing a reply to Xzi.

You know what they say about when people assume, right? Makes an ass of u and me.

And I didn't think much of Biden s speech, and didn't watch the Republican response. All I heard was a lot of ways Biden wants to send our money to the rest of the world instead of spending it on Americans, a lot of hate and derision, and a lot of blaming others for problems that have risen during his term.

It's not my fault you fucked up your post. Don't fuck it up and then ASSUME people can read your mind. That's 100% on you. Talk about a failed attempt at a spin. You know what they say about when people assume, right? I mean. This entire thread weas created on an assumption that you were actually wrong about. Hypocrite much? Ffs. Can't even make this shit up. LMAO!

Your assessment of Bidens speech is flat out bs. It sounds like you did in fact listen to the response and used it as the basis for your response here. Biden talked PLENTY about helping Americans. I'd have to say you didn't even actually watch it, or you thought Katie Britt was Joe Biden.

I hope you find a healthy outlet for all that hostility.

That's what the Republicans are saying after sleepy, dementia Joe gave them a swift fact check to the side of their heads. What's wrong? Are the facts I presented too aggressive for you? Am I too fiery for ya?

So no denying the facts I presented then? Just a quick change of subject? LMAO! Lame.

 

[JeepX87]

Let put Trump in office and Gaza is going to be annexed into Israel with all of Palestinians expelled, so that is definitely execution based on what protesters want, so if not, be careful. Like @Xzi said, there is no good alternative.

Far right wing in Israel want ONE Israel with all of Gaza and West Bank included.

Bro, you need to chill. I don't agree with Hanafuda politically... like, at all, but this is really uncalled for and weird.

They're the party of "alternative facts"

Don't forget that as of last year, 70% of Trump voters still think that the election results are fraudulent. There's no reasoning with most of them.

Eh, it's too late, really. Unless he bends over backwards to pull all U.S. support out of the war (which he won't, and probably can't, do) he'll be seen as supporting genocide by continuing to involve the country in a foreign war. His stance on the war was kind of puzzling from a popularity standpoint since that goes against what a lot of younger voters want to see.

I understand alliances and supporting allied countries in war (global politics is gonna global politics), but our support of Israel over Hamas primarily because of their religious affiliation is beyond idiotic to me. Religious affiliation becomes so incredibly irrelevant when civilians are getting killed because of it.

Trump when asked about it recently said Israel should quote, "go into Gaza and finish the problem," so not a great alternative there either.

This is about the closest take to "let them eat cake" in the modern era that I think I've ever seen.
"Just... beat the enemy then you win right? Hur dur"

Bro, I'm perfectly chill. Lmao. Nothing uncalled for or weird about calling out someone's sheer hypocrisy and misinformation. Know what's actually weird? Playing an "assumption" card after literally creating a topic based 100% on an incorrect assumption, assuming other forum members can read minds after flubbing up a post, making untrue comments about a speech that anyone can listen to, and resorting to nothing but deflection when called out on it.. That's what's weird.

 

[Xzi]

That's not what's happening though. Biden is ordering the Navy (and private war contractors, I expect) to build a harbour in Gaza, where "aid" ships can be landed. Boots on the ground.

Both are happening, we've already air dropped a whole lot of aid packages and will continue to do so while the harbor is being constructed. Political pressure on the Israeli government was never gonna be enough, they have to be circumvented entirely.

This is about the closest take to "let them eat cake" in the modern era that I think I've ever seen.

Translated from Trumpanzee it means, "finish committing genocide."

He really has no reason to give any less shallow of a response. His words, as shallow and meaningless as they are, still juxtapose with Biden's enough to affirm support with his devoted followers.
"Biden isn't doing anything, but I would. Therefore, I'm better than him".
The amount of logic one must put aside for this to be true is extremely concerning.

Humanitarian aid would equate to "nothing" in their eyes, yeah. Biden should've been urging restraint immediately from October 7th on, but at least he has demonstrated a willingness to adapt to events as they unfold. Whether it's because he had privately been growing frustrated with Netanyahu behind closed doors, or because of the 'uncommitted' vote campaigns demonstrating momentum, the change in strategy is a welcome one.
