The contrast of one of the greatest SOTU speeches in history to an utterly creepy call to gather a nut-fringe group to take over the Republican tent is a two piece diorama of what we are today. We are the UNITED States.
I hope everyone spends some time thinking of what that means.
I would respectfully disagree. The speechwriters crafted a fairly strong piece of rhetoric, but it wasn’t particularly substantial and the delivery was substandard, that’s just the honest truth.
Also “one of the greatest in history because it happened now” is not a great argument. Nunc pro tunc, as they say.
Yeah, I agree. It was well-written, and I thought it was good, but saying this was the best SOTU of all time seems a bit far-fetched. Biden straight-up isn’t a great orator, and that’s fine by me. I would rather someone who can do the job than make wonderful speeches.
Now, how Biden dealt with the hecklers was pretty great, I’ll say.
It should be clear to everyone, now that we are not united and never have been and holding this country together is a bigger challenge than anyone these days realizes.

Any time a country has an adjective in its name that adjective is always wrong.
I think we can give Northern Ireland a pass though
It’s pronounced “Norn Ir’n”, thanks. 🤘🏽

You mean the United Kingdom? I always loved that name. Neither United nor a Kingdom. Regular attempts to secede and proudly an empire.
We have a king and are a union of 4 countries. What do you mean?
4? What, are you counting Wales?
It’s mostly a joke but the reasoning is in the comment.
The Great bit refers to it being the largest of the islands that make up the British Isles. GB is a land mass, not a country.
It was in reference to an Eddie Izzard bit. Simmer, youngin.

Except for the Federal Republic of Germany. It’s much too federal, actually.
Wow, just watching that now. She needs to go back to her streaming channel and 500 viewers
Greatest SOTU in history…? I mean, cmon.
One of the greatest, but certainly not the greatest of all time. It seems apt for the moment we’re in as a country.

I wouldn’t say because it happened now, but because it fits the state of the country very well.

The greatest that ever will be, too!
We’re deep in it here.
