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.
Ha...State of Disunion from PedoJoe.
It takes time to build a consensus in the public’s mind that he has to step down because he’s too frail.
It will build slowly at first, then as more and more media talking heads chime in to the chorus the end is near.
Watch for it, it will happen this way.
Pelosi will shrug off questions about it, even be hostile to a reporter or two for asking, then gradually warm to the idea and eventually call for a committee to investigate them make a recommendation, then finally ask Josef Stolen to step down or be removed by the 25th Amendment process.
Actually Joe could stay in office, at least officially, as the 25th Amendment makes it possible that he could remain ‘President’ and VP be ‘Acting President’ for the time of the impairment, which would allow her to be in power for three terms, possibly four.................................
bump
The other ‘solution’ is Joe could ‘get’ the 5 month stage four cancer that does from discovery to death in five months...
As expected.

Why? Is it the tone, the lack of respect for this potus?
Every Day Is A Lid Day.
“...given by a competent - UNBIASED - medical professional.”
Wouldn’t be difficult to do. Get a doctor from Siberia or Zanzibar, who knows nothing about US politics.
I'm not surprised that AP doesn't know that, but am surprised so many Freepers don't. This thread is a waste of time.
There was a duplicate thread that was locked because it was a duplicate, but this one isn’t, as I just posted a reply here.
“The only way to spare more pain and more loss, the only way these millstones no long mark our national mourning, these milestones I should say, no long mark our national mourning.”
He can’t be coherent that long, even with a teleprompter and his meds.
