The annual State of the Union address is a chance for presidents to claim credit for great achievements and outline plans for the future. With the memory of China’s spy balloon crossing our most sensitive military installations unmolested hovering over the House chamber, the stink of Biden’s passivity and failure will taint any such boasting.
And the public ain’t buying it, as even the Democrats’ house organ, the Washington Post, reports:
Two years into a presidency that the White House casts as the most effective in modern history, President Biden is set to deliver a State of the Union address Tuesday to a skeptical country with a majority of Americans saying they do not believe he has achieved much since taking office, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll.
The poll finds that 62 percent of Americans think Biden has accomplished “not very much” or “little or nothing” during his presidency, while 36 percent say he has accomplished “a great deal” or “a good amount.” On many of Biden’s signature initiatives — from improving the country’s infrastructure to making electric vehicles more affordable to creating jobs — majorities of Americans say they do not believe he has made progress, the poll finds.
The dynamic arguably raises the stakes of Biden’s prime time speech on Tuesday. The president is expected to use the platform to tout his accomplishments and remind voters that many of the laws he signed during the first half of his term are just now being implemented.
Pete Buttigieg, the tone deaf Secretary of Transportation, tried Sunday to sell the notion that Biden is a master of accomplished triumphs, and it went over about as well as his prediction that the Christmas holiday would see airlines do well after having screwed up earlier.

This year, Kevin McCarthy will be sitting where Nancy Pelosi was last year. I don’t expect him to disgrace his office and the occasion by tearing up the speech’s transcript the way Nancy did, but his face may reveal skepticism, maybe even laughter. While I’d love to see him bring a balloon.
Will they shade the background of Pedo Joe in deep red and black colors? He likes that look.
i thought the same thing...a balloon would be a scream....
If tearing a country apart is an accomplishment...then he has done it in spades!~!
Will ‘fact checkers’ be on the job?
Maybe just a multi-colored balloon pin on his jacket. If someone asks about it he can say it’s GLQTLMNOP - then wink at the camera.
The STFU address.
Yes. in the middle of the speech reach under that table and produce a helium balloon, hold it for a few seconds and let it go.
Not watching. I’ll wait for the clips and memes that come after.
It isn’t that he has done nothing, it is that what he has done is nothing that is good for the American people or the sovereignty of the American soil.
Joe Biden was not elected. He was installed to destroy the idea of America and turn it over to a world governing body.
I said 3 days ago, they need to bring in white balloons, blow them up and start swatting them around the crowd...Like they do at ball games.
No, I’m not joking.
Joe Biden Can Now Be Crowned the Welfare King, A stock market crash and a Great-Depression-style economy are among the boldest forecasts for 2023. #2 SOTU

IT IS FREE. I’M AN AMATEUR NOT A PROFESSIONAL NEEDING TO EARN MONEY.
In the past, I would have said that he is shuffling in the footsteps of his boss, Barry Soetoro, in that it is yet another wasted presidency.
But the past two years it has been made abundantly clear that Soetoro’s presidency was not wasted at all. He and his commie minions were very, very busy and accomplished a great deal.
He was installed to destroy the idea of America and turn it over to a world governing body.
Exactly! With destruction being the goal, Brandon is doing a GREAT job.
RE: In the past, I would have said that he is shuffling in the footsteps of his boss, Barry Soetoro,
Those footsteps you hear are actually Barry’s folks pulling Brandon’s strings.
I’d love to see balloons all over the chamber, well at least on the Republican side and in the gallery.
