Please read this thread. It is amazing.

Y’all keep underestimating Joe Biden at your peril. He been on this game long enough to play it with quick jabs rather than boisterous nonsense. That’s why I always knew I was voting for him as soon as he announced, and will gladly vote for him again in 2024.

Mocking congressional Republicans who called him a “liar” for saying some Republicans want to sunset Social Security and Medicare, President Biden reads direct quotes from Sens. Rick Scott (R-FL) and Ron Johnson (R-WI). pic.twitter.com/M1XAjeHrJN

MORE RECEIPTS: @MeidasTouch
shows how fake the Republican outrage during the State of the Union was.

They screamed when Biden said they want to cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid BECAUSE IT’S TRUE👇🏽pic.twitter.com/AlPjgylQ4u

Well, that was something I didn’t expect. Biden not only owned the room, he owned the argument for his agenda as Speaker McCarthy sat helplessly watching Marge & company barking and howling at the Biden moon while making a fool of him and House a Republicans. #StateOfTheUnion

James Carville: “I have a degree in white trashology. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s definitely white trash. The level of white trash in the GOP is astounding. I’ve never seen it manifest itself like now. Kevin McCarthy isnt white trash. He’s white Jello.” He said it, I didnt!#TheBeat pic.twitter.com/1k6TcVaUs8

He took on hecklers like a veteran of a Catskills resort. He smiled, he laughed, he bellowed when it was called for. He had the only microphone in the room, and he used it like a hammer. https://t.co/p0DKuS3uhO

I often highlight divides between demo groups so we can find ways to bridge them & unite country.

NO SUCH DIVIDES TODAY.

"I’ve never seen anything like it in a State of the Union speech – they ran at him like a pack of lemmings and, with a wink and a grin, he politely directed them to the cliff." Ouch. @RexHuppke with the line of the night https://t.co/dCkITgJ4yU #SOTU23

DID YOU KNOW That in 1983, @JoeBiden gave the Democratic response to Ronald Reagan's State of the Union speech?

Here is a clip of him previewing his response. Pretty consistent 40 years later… pic.twitter.com/S3bQT2VyLG

.@POTUS has by far been the most successful president in my lifetime. He has gotten far more done already than I was ever expecting. Turns out having 50+ years of experience in Washington has its perks. I am so thankful. He's completely changed my view of how to get things done.

The GOP playbook is all about hallucinatory charges and fake outrage. It's the "negative sentiment machine."

But Biden talking about the manufacturing jobs of the future vs Huckabee Sanders seething about confusing acronyms is a good contrast for Dems:https://t.co/kuabKRabPw pic.twitter.com/CIHAJssqj3

Just as Sarah Huckabee Sanders spoke mainly to the right wing info bubble, House GOP hearings are following the same pattern. Marjorie Taylor Green and Nancy Mace pushed border police officials to validate all kinds of strange nonsense. They refused:https://t.co/kuabKR9DZY pic.twitter.com/sjhK75YLvb

The getting rid of Social Security is a long time dream of the GOP

It helped dig him into an approval hole he was never able to get out of. It helped drive Democrats’ big midterm victories in 2006. When asked when the Dems would release their competing SS plan, Pelosi responded “Never. Is never good enough for you?”
