“Wanna bet there will be NO state of the union address?”
Dr. Fauci announces it would be better if Congress and the president not get together in a large group for the address. Biden’s press secretary announces Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer want to set an example for the nation so there will be no in-person state of the union speech this year. Biden will send a letter to Congress supplemented with a five minute taped, televised address to the nation on the date of the speech. The fawning and compliant mainstream press will spend days talking about the great leadership now in office and “speculating” on the content of what will be a great speech.
Meanwhile Biden’s handlers will spend days coaching him through the five minute aide scripted speech he reads in the Oval Office using a teleprompter. The speech is carefully and skillfully edited using film from multiple takes to remove gaffes and senior moments.
The night of the state of the union speech Biden’s five minute speech is aired with Biden looking and sounding very presidential in the carefully edited message to the nation. He makes the key points the handlers want the public to hear and he gives the impression of being vigorous and fully capable of doing the job. During the speech he references longer written message which has been carefully prepared by the handlers, bashes Trump, Republicans, right wing extremists, and includes every left wing agenda item. Biden’s “historic” short address is followed by an hour of leftist journalist and Democrat operative “analysis” of the longer written message plus negative commentary on Trump.
Republicans are given a five minute “equal time” soundbite to respond, but they haven’t seen the Biden televised message or longer written document before their session is taped. The RNC, McConnell and McCarthy pick Romney, Murkowski, or Collins to deliver the five minute pandering statement talking about the new spirit of bipartisanship in Washington and how much they are looking forward to working with the Biden Administration. Not one word about Trump.
“The RNC, McConnell and McCarthy pick Romney, Murkowski, or Collins to deliver the five minute pandering statement talking about the new spirit of bipartisanship in Washington and how much they are looking forward to working with the Biden Administration. Not one word about Trump.”
How about they pick Trump or Ivanka to deliver the rebuttal.
I can “Dream the Impossible Dream” can’t I?
