Is It just me? People seem a lot grumpier after the SOTU address.

Honestly, I thought folks would calm down. But it appears the SOTU address didn’t sit well with a lot more people than the die hard Trump folks.

The GOP response speech was not good. I have no doubt that Katie Britt’s heart is in the right place, but her handlers did her a disservice by telling her to be hyper emotional. She should have stuck to just the facts and direct rebuttal of Biden’s non-sequiturs.

Hell, if she’d called him a liar on national television and backed up her assertions, the nation would have rallied around her and the GOP regardless of how ‘green’ she is as a statesman.

It would have been the first time in the Biden administration that someone spoke that particular truth to power.

Joe Biden is a fucking liar! He always has been. That leopard hasn’t changed its spots one iota over the 40 years the jackass from Delaware has been lying, cheating, and stealing, from the American People.

I’m not angry about it, I’ve thought Biden was a crook since 2020. So none of this is new to my thinking. I’m thankful that I may never have to listen to Joe Biden speak again after November.

That would be a very good thing for me personally. I hated listening to Obama speak, and don’t get me started on Bush! But Biden is by far the worst President in my lifetime, hearing him speak sets my teeth on edge.

When I say that, it’s kind of impressive. That rogues gallery includes, Nixon, Carter, Clinton, Bush 1, Bush the 2nd, and Obama.

I’ll say this, Biden is the most divisive President I’ve ever seen. 

A year or two ago, I had passion in my distaste for Biden. Now, not so much. I feel like entropy is winning as it always must.

The quality of presidents has been declining through the years. Each of my top 6 Presidents has been plagued by scandal one way or another. Even Reagan, who is not in my top 6 list, kind of screwed the Gay community during the AIDS epidemic. Eventually he came around, but only when there was nothing left to lose.

My point is, every single one of these Presidents was able to at least lie their way through a State of the Union and end it with the people at home not feeling like they’d just been dragged to the woodshed by grandpa. We didn’t feel emotionally harangued like we’d done something wrong and didn’t deserve the air we breathed.

Yet all of Biden’s speeches feel like if we disagree or are worried about the direction of our country, somehow WE’RE the bad guys. It doesn’t even matter what party you’re from anymore. 

Here we are on Monday, the speech was on Thursday and there are people still raging about it on Twitter, conservative radio shows, or some TV shows, the podcasts are flat out insane. 

Maybe it’s just that the time change has fueled the “grumpy” and that people went into the weekend pissed off, in the first place.

I’m hoping that folks will calm down. In the meantime, I’m not looking at the news.
