President Joe Biden was expected to have given his first State of the Union address by now.
Although the mainstream press is issuing “fact checks” to dispute the claim Biden was supposed to have had one by February 20th, the AP earlier reported that he was supposed to have had one by… *checks calendar*… yesterday.
“US President Joe Biden is expected to deliver the annual State of the Union address on 23 February 2021 (date is still to be confirmed),” the Associated Press reported.
It is indisputable that the president can have the SOTU address whenever he or she wants. Or none at all, like Jimmy Carter chose in 1977. Or even submitted in writing, as the same president did in 1981.
But Biden will soon be running upon the longest period of time in the last three decades for a president to wait to give his first State of the Union Address.
The first State of the Union addresses by presidential term since 1981:
President Ronald Reagan (first term): February 18, 1981 President Ronald Reagan (second term): February 06, 1985 President George H.W. Bush: February 09, 1989 President Bill Clinton (first term): February 17, 1993 President Bill Clinton (second term): February 04, 1997 President George W. Bush (first term): February 27, 2001 President George W. Bush (second term): February 02, 2005 President Barack Obama (first term): February 24, 2009 President Barack Obama (second term): February 12, 2013 President Donald Trump (first term): February 28, 2017 Thus, if Joe Biden doesn’t give his State of the Union before Sunday, he will have eclipsed the modern timeline for presidents to give their first State of the Union Address.
A check of his presidential calendar gives no details on when a State of the Union may be forthcoming. America is in the midst of a COVID-19 pandemic, fallout from the Capitol riots, a Texas disaster, and other major emergencies. The Biden administration has issued an unprecedented flurry of executive orders, many of them highly controversial.
There are questions that Americans want answers to from their current Commander-in-Chief. And yet, the State of the Union appears to be “confused.”
There has been recent speculation about Biden giving the State of the Union online, most of it related to his believed physical capacity to give one.
Why hasn't Biden given a State of the Union address?

When is Biden going to deliver a State of the Union? Isn’t that typically done…like now?

Joe Biden isn't giving a State of The Union address because his brain is mush.

Has Resident Biden given his “State of the Union” address yet?
Oh wait, that was supposed to be yesterday? Is Sucky Psaki gonna circle back on why this didn’t happen? 🤔 (Like anyone would watch).
President Trump will be speaking to the nation this Sunday at the CPAC. 🇺🇸

No wonder they are putting off the State of the Union. Biden can’t speak coherently pic.twitter.com/XGN5uBQdYr

One thing Americans need as much as a State of the Union: A state of Joe Biden’s health.
If he goes on national TV for more than a few minutes, he's toast..........................
That is what we have been saying. EVERYthing about Biden appears to be off.
It takes a while to get the Virtual Reality projectors set up and running.
What happened? Did the software that allows the user to create seamless edits overheat?
Josef Stolen has called a lid on America.
Up until the advent of radio there was no State of the Union address. It was merely a written statement issued from the president to Congress.
Biden may just do that instead.
Not true. First term presidents, in their first year, a month after their inauguration, do NOT give a SOTU address.
They give an inaugural address, and the first SOTU is a year later at the end of their first year in office.
See above. There is no SOTU address a month after inauguration.
It’s cheaper to just put him in a chair behind a huge microphone that hides his lips. They then could get a Biden voice impressionist to say whatever the puppet masters want him to say. They did that on Star Trek in the 1960s, they can do it now.
It’s a finger to America. The junta doesn’t explain itself.
C’mon man. Rumor has it...it’s being broadcast in CHYna ONLY.
We don’t need Joe mumbling lies. We know the STATE OF THE UNION. Joe isnt really the POTUS, there is barbed wire around the Capitol, illegals are pouring across the border, systemic racism is a national crisis, gas prices are going up, schools are still closed, and we are awaiting a third wave of COVID due to mutants.
Everything’s fine. The mainstream media has been telling us that since he was selected. Why do we need repeat the narrative.
Here's MY SOTU: Eff'd up!
Too funny. Joe sure does have that look.
Why do you suppose The Ape Pee wasn’t aware of that? They believed their own fake news?
Joe the Pretender
HA..! Maybe Obama will give the State of the Union address.. But no matter who does the job the republicans should all stand, rip it up and throw it in the air... :)
I bet kamala gives it. And if she does it will show he can’t be President. I bet she has her new Vp already picked. Will be Cortez or Hillary or pelosi. I have a distinct feeling it will be a woman.
