It didn't take long after Biden finished his rancid, combative remarks in Philadelphia for the reviews of the latest divisive screed from "Mr. Unity" to come in, and they predictably were not favorable from those among the 70 million Americans he declared were hatefully working to bring about the end of democracy:
Kayleigh McEnany @kayleighmcenany · Follow Mr. Unity just gave the most divisive presidential speech I have ever seen! 7:30 PM · Sep 1, 2022

In addition to the caustic content of Biden's message — vote for the people I say or you're a fascist — the staging was also of note, and not just the ominous red hue that bathed the sides of Independence Hall. No, the two Marines standing at attention behind the president grabbed viewers' eyes.
A producer for ABC pointed out an obvious but important truth as well:
Meanwhile, even CNN talent was unnerved by the display. Chief National Affairs Correspondent Jeff Zeleny took issue with the staging of the Marines behind Biden for such a political speech, calling it a "break with White House traditions."
CNN's Brianna Keilar joined in the criticism as well saying the positioning of Marines behind Biden for a speech like Thursday night's "flies in the face" of the idea that America's military is "supposed to be apolitical."
Thursday night's political use of military personnel was not even Biden's first flub when it comes to protocol and existing precedent, as Guy pointed out:
Perhaps Biden's combative screed that was ironically previewed by the White House as one of unity did succeed in one way: uniting media across the partisan spectrum in its criticism of the imagery the president used to back up his words.
I don't know WTF it is ... and until proven otherwise (names, ranks, unit assignments) I maintain that they weren't Marines, they were actors wearing marine costumes.
Biden and his democrats are a DISASTER.
VOTE DEMOCRATS OUT.
MAGA.
Practicing JOES PLAGIARISM.
Just saw this and it fits SOWELL.
“JOE STOLEN “
Love it.
I’m telling you.
There are so many pics of Big Mike in a fashion catastrophe. It would be pointless to post them.
It really does help to illustrate the point that a lot of fashion designers - esp the gay ones, but pretty much all of them across the board - hate women. Also, they hate themselves.
Yep, they are taking their hatred out on women by “designing for them” - convincing them that they look good 😆
“Marines standing at attention
were they? with hands in front?”
They were at “Parade Rest”
Copying Orewll Quote.
were they? with hands in front?
I noticed that as well. Not having been a Marine myself, I was a bit confused by the stance. That sure as hell didn't look like 'at ease', or 'rest' or 'attention' to my eyes.
Amen. Let it so. Let us all continue to pray for it.
Don’t get me wrong, being well-dressed is a great thing. I like clothes. *looks around nervously*
I agree with your comments about lifelong pharmaceutical dependence.
I believe it is called “At Rest” They assume the same posture when they stand at the entrance at the white house door.
OMG a READER! Probably learns from factual history rather than believe what their told to. Sinner! Blasphemer! No playing Perry Como records. Bad people get wished to the cornfield.
Seriously though, Pretend-esident went way over the line with declaring war on his political opposition while our government still depends on SOME cooperation between parties to function at all. Biden reminded me of Danny DeVito's Penguin boasting "I'll play this stinkin' city like a harp from Hell!"
Sorry, I will burn all of my books since we have a Nazi running the country.
Last night was surreal to me. No President has ever done anything even remotely close to that.
lol
Got the Hellish red glow goin (check).
Got the Hellish threatening rhetoric (check).
Got the Hellish speech full of lies (check).
The only thing that’s missing....
are the actual horns atop OBiden’s head.
Luckily, the old vets from the old military are still on our side....the “as founded, Constitutional” side. And they are the ones I would count on.
I think what the Democrats actually did do with this speech is tick off that 70+ million voters and inspire them to crawl over broken glass to vote against them this November.
Whereas most of the Democrat voters won’t be that motivated to go vote in the midterms, as usual. The only way I see the Democrats winning the next election now.. is via even more massive election and voter fraud than they used in the 2020 election. And I don’t think they can or will be able to pull that off.
In my day parade rest the hands were behind you. That is what the images show on the internet also.
