Portrait Of A Winner : SOTU

Way To Go Joe!

Like Beau said, he played 'em like a fiddle. And all they did was make asses of themselves. Every day I'm glad I'm not in a position to have that fetal-alcohol-syndrome poster child, Marjorie Taylor Greene, "representing" anything I think. Between George Santos and MTG, the branding of the Republican party is now "pathological liar" and "howling unwiped ass." And they absolutely, totally deserve it. They had a thousand chances to hit the brakes on this idiotic lunacy and they ignored every one of 'em.

I can get it if somebody doesn't wanna be a Democrat, but if you're still a Republican at this point in time, you're just garbage. No excuses, no middle ground. If that shit doesn't embarrass you, then you don't deserve even the slightest respect.

As detailed below, it's sorely lacking, with 68 to 72% of Americans expressing little or no confidence in Biden, newly elected Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and both their parties in Congress.

Most broadly, the survey shows a now-common result: A public with deep economic dissatisfaction, sharp polarization and little faith in leaders on either side of the aisle. These attitudes are informed by the fact that, as reported Sunday, 41% say they've gotten worse off since the president took office, a high in polling back 37 years.

The public by an extensive 31% expresses just some or no confidence in Biden to make the right decisions for the country's future. It's a similar 28% for the Democrats in Congress.

The tired old man took the upstart GOP liars to the woodshed again. America laughs at the GOP/MAGA morons but needs to stop putting such dangerous Anti-American traitor types into office.

GOP senator 'handing a gift' to Biden by doubling down on Social Security-trashing plan

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) is on the defensive after President Joe Biden tarred the GOP during the State of the Union Address with Scott's plan to periodically "sunset" Social Security and Medicare — and traveled to Florida to give a roomful of people copies of his proposal to do so.

On Thursday, a CNN panel speculated that Scott's ongoing defense of his proposal is just making Biden's attack on the GOP that much more effective.

"When you defend, put yourself as the defender of extraordinarily popular public programs, that's a pretty good position to be in for politics," said analyst David Chalian. "It's not just haphazard that this has long been called the third rail of American politics, and Democrats and President Biden think Rick Scott went and grabbed that rail about a year ago. They're not the only one, by the way. Mitch McConnell clearly thinks Rick Scott did as well, and that he's getting singed by it now. So, they're pressing this advantage. It is a politically advantageous place for Biden to be because of how unbelievably popular these programs are."

"Especially in Florida, where there's a huge elderly population that relies on Social Security and Medicare," agreed anchor Wolf Blitzer, turning to commentator Nia Malika-Henderson. "Is Senator Rick Scott essentially handing a gift to the President of the United States?"

ICYMI: Praise for Biden-Harris Accomplishments Two Years In

It’s been two years since President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were sworn into office, and columnists from Franklin Foer to David Brooks are taking note of their administration’s historic achievements.

Here’s a look at what they’re saying…

MSNBC: Joe Scarborough: “This is just reality, what I am about to tell you are the facts. This guy, constantly underestimated by his political friends and enemies alike, has been the most successful president in pushing through legislation that any president — since I guess — Ronald Reagan? Maybe you have to go back to LBJ. And don’t take my word for it. After the 2022 elections, remember the ‘red wave’ elections where Joe Biden was supposed to get wiped out again? His party was going to get destroyed and he was going to get pushed to the side? After the 2022 elections, Newt Gingrich said to Republicans: We have to stop making the same mistake that we keep making about Joe Biden. We see him having a problem at a press conference and we cut out that clip and we run it over and over again and we convince ourselves he’s not up to the task of being president of the United States. While we’re laughing at him, he beats us. When we’re mocking him, he routes us. When we’re saying he’s not up to being president of the United States he proves that we’re not up to running against him.”


Joe Biden’s first two years: He could be a president on par with FDR and LBJ
By Robert S. McElvaine

Scientific polling did not yet exist in Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s first two years as president, but it is beyond question that his approval was enormous. During Lyndon Baines Johnson’s first year-plus in office, his approval rating averaged an astonishing 74.2 percent. At the end of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.’s second year in office, his approval ratings hover in the mid-40s. It would seem laughable, then, to categorize him as being on their level. FDR is almost always counted among the greatest American presidents. LBJ is not, but likely would be had he not sunk the nation into a pointless, no-win war in Southeast Asia.

Yet a strong case can be made that JRB has, to this point, proven to be a great president, worthy of mention alongside those two.


How Joe Biden Wins Again
By Franklin Foer

[…]

Now that he’s president, Biden is his own self-anointed Sheriff. In its first two years, his administration passed ambitious, expensive legislation. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act spends $1 trillion. The CHIPS and Science Act devotes more than $250 billion to jump-starting the American semiconductor industry and investing in technological research. The Inflation Reduction Act contains, at least, a $370 billion investment in clean energy. Biden could break his hand signing all the checks that his administration is about to write.
