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.
Michael Jackson too....................
They’re afraid he’ll say the “N” word again.
Let me check… the state of the Union is… BAD
Agreed, my guess is that they’ve had some practice runs and they didn’t go well. Reminds me of when he was supposed to salute the marines via instructions from his earpiece but repeated the action verbally instead of doing it.
Two things.
The Dems in Congress are moving to change the authorization for nukes from the president’s discretion to more oversight.
Harris is making more public appearances than Joe.
I honestly hope that Joe is not suffering from a major break down.
hollywood will produce something for us ..
tape delay for safety concerns or some nonsense.
What else no one here seems to remember is that Pelosi stated outright on Feb. 11, 2021, that there will be no Resident Xiden initial Address to Congress until the $2T bug bill is passed.
The final text of that bill was released just over a week ago, so the traditional initial Address date of late February is not, was not, and may never happen, given that the Democrats are crawling out of the woodwork to freely state the Emperor Has No Sentience.
“The Simulation just went bad...”
“I am happy to report to you tonight...that the state of the...the...you know, the thing...by the way, what state are we in? This isn’t a state, it’s a district! C’mon man! Jill, help me out here would ya?”
Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address
I have card I carry with me and that thing you know........
/s
I’m more interested in a “State of Joe Biden” address
...given by a competent - UNBIASED - medical professional.
More like a “State of Confusion” speech
Never happen, it would cause a panic.
Mostly among democrats! The MSM would ignore it, anyway.
SOTU = State of the Unqualified........................
Yeah and where are those dopey doctors in Biden campaign commercial that said old crazy Joe would end the epidemic. Still waiting !
Just think on this:
Joe Biden took office OLDER THAT RONALD REAGAN WAS WHEN HE LEFT OFFICE!.....................
Perfect! I like this better than the Captain Pike in the wheelchair gif. For starters, this one depicts a fascist. And it is a puppet leader who is drugged and propped up to fool the masses, just like dear ol’ Joe
Didn’t think the commies were going to dump old Joe until this summer... is the jig up this early?
Dementia’s harder to hide when a few million people are watching it on live TV.
The corrupt white liberal elite press can’t cover for a guy who can barely read... not that the sh*ts at the Washington Post and New York Times wouldn’t try... but they would fail.
Too many people would see the truth on live TV for press bimbos and pretentious men to cover...LOL. How the mighty have...have ... devolved into tacky creepy...
