\"\"Honestly, I thought folks would calm down. But it appears the SOTU address didn\u2019t sit well with a lot more people than the die hard Trump folks.<\/p>\n

The GOP response speech was not good. I have no doubt that Katie Britt\u2019s 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\u2019s non-sequiturs.<\/p>\n

Hell, if she\u2019d 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 \u2018green\u2019 she is as a statesman.<\/p>\n

It would have been the first time in the Biden administration that someone spoke that particular truth to power.<\/p>\n

Joe Biden is a fucking liar! He always has been. That leopard hasn\u2019t changed its spots one iota over the 40 years the jackass from Delaware has been lying, cheating, and stealing, from the American People.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not angry about it, I\u2019ve thought Biden was a crook since 2020. So none of this is new to my thinking. I\u2019m thankful that I may never have to listen to Joe Biden speak again after November.<\/p>\n

That would be a very good thing for me personally. I hated listening to Obama speak, and don\u2019t get me started on Bush! But Biden is by far the worst <\/strong>President in my lifetime, hearing him speak sets my teeth on edge.<\/p>\n

When I say that, it\u2019s kind of impressive. That rogues gallery includes, Nixon, Carter, Clinton, Bush 1, Bush the 2nd, and Obama.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll say this, Biden is the most divisive President I\u2019ve ever seen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019d just been dragged to the woodshed by grandpa. We didn\u2019t feel emotionally harangued like we\u2019d done something wrong and didn\u2019t deserve the air we breathed.<\/p>\n

Yet all of Biden\u2019s speeches feel like if we disagree or are worried about the direction of our country, somehow WE\u2019RE<\/strong> the bad guys. It doesn\u2019t even matter what party you\u2019re from anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maybe it\u2019s just that the time change has fueled the \u201cgrumpy\u201d and that people went into the weekend pissed off, in the first place.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m hoping that folks will calm down. In the meantime, I\u2019m not looking at the news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
