I actually don't think the party showed weakness

But yes, progressives live to kneecap Dems while ignoring Rs ushering a clownish totalitarian state

Biden showed weakness. Because he is weak.

If your daughter was murdered by an illegal alien, and the president of the United States got her name wrong and then apologized to her murderer, I'm sure you wouldn't have any problem with it.

I guess Rs feel like they finally found their in for criticizing the speech, eh? Biden wasn't doddering so you tried too energetic and angry - but when that didn't really stick, you're trying this.

Well, maybe try running a candidate who isn't a rapist taking away all our rights and see if that makes for a stickier campaign.

"Trying this."

LOL. No, we are criticizing him for apologizing to a murderer instead of apologizing to Laken Riley's family.

Yes, I hear you. It's a terrible story. There's no other way to see it. Terrible. I see the play, too - appeal to suburban moms by showing that Dems allow an environment where your daughter can be murdered by a man who shouldn't have even been here. I could be wrong - I often am - but I feel like you lose some of the power of this, when you've also taken away reproductive rights. I feel like you're better off with a different tack. If I were you, I think I'd go for "why are billions going overseas to conflicts that don't even involve us when here at home we aren't even getting as many Doritos in a bag as we used to," but the last thing I'm gonna do is advise Republicans.

My real advice would be to ditch Trump for literally ANYONE else. But, again, you've made your bed. Maybe he won't even sh** it this time.

Immigration and the subsequent crime issues are far and away the major issues for voters this year.

Really? It’s not the most important issue for anyone I know. Maybe if Trump ever built the wall, Biden wouldn’t be dealing with this. “Build the wall!” A broken promise from Trump, who was going to let nothing stop him from doing this. A complete joke that all his followers have forgotten.

Well then what are the most important issues for the people you know. I could guess but why? You seem to know.

Abortion and blocking Trump

OK. You need to know more people. Maybe you’ll have a better chance at blocking Trump.

But no, the GOP wants all of these asylum seekers here indefinitely and make people angry about it.

Right! The current law doesn't allow us to just kick them out en masse and for some reason the MAGAs don't understand that. The law requires they get hearings first and the Lankford bill would allow all of that to be expedited.

MAGAs don’t have the maturity or patience for democracy. They want everything their way and right away.

I read this and think, "Wow.... projection."

I guess you don’t know what that word means then. Because the party that has literally run on the concept of “zero compromise” is the GOP. As soon as the dems give them what they ask for, they move the goal or lie about it happening to keep you angry. Compromise is required in democracy.

As were his two brothers - also here illegally.

Biden had never uttered her name until the SOTU, and then he botched it.
He has never contacted her parents.
He will not acknowledge that his policies and lack of border security has led to this killer - and the killers of other Americans - into our country.

Laken Riley was an innocent victim.
She has become the face of Biden's border crisis.

Is the president supposed to call the family of every person who dies in the USA?

Trump never spoke to the families of the US troops killed in Africa under his watch. I didn't see you getting upset over that.

Yes - Trump did call the families of the soldiers killed in Niger.
Let's see.......
I recall him speaking frequently of George Floyd and even meeting with the family of George Floyd.

And, the murder of Laken Riley was far more egregious since she was a totally innocent victim.

He called one and told the widow “i guess that’s what he signed up for”. Quit pretending Trump was better at anything. He was not.

And, what Trump said to the widow is not a whole lot different than the statement Biden put out about the helicopter crash that claimed 3 lives on the border.....

"They signed up knowing the risks"

Context. Are you too dumb to understand the difference or just dishonest?

"Context" is the response on the left when they cannot debate issues.

No. It’s an important part of critical thinking and evaluating information. It’s just not MAGAs forte. At all.

The president of the US is the head of our state. He has to be able to discuss serious issues with other heads of state. He has to understand the issues and appoint people who work hard to understand as well. If Trump is our president, none of that will happen and we will not be taken seriously by other countries. When he was president before he had a parade of cabinet officials and constant hiring and firing of people. This was by design. Trump has already said that he would not help countries who don't give enough money to NATO. Degrading NATO will make us weaker as a country. Is that what we want?

And for those who say he is kidding around or just trying to make them pay, security and defense are not a joking matter.

Trump insults everyone at every opportunity, far worse than anything noted on this thread. So spare me your outrage.
And while I'm at it, go F yourself for being such babies and snowflakes, not to mention hypocrites.

Precisely. Enough with the fake outrage. Trump/his supporters haven't earned that right given their slander of anything/everything that walks.

BREAKING: Joe Biden’s wild economic claims during his State of the Union address were fact-checked six times by The New York Times.

1. “15 million new jobs in just three years — a record,” Biden claimed.
• The Times ruled the claim needed context because the job gains “were beginning to return” before Biden came to office from the huge losses during the pandemic.

2. “My policies have attracted $650 billion in private sector investment, in clean energy, advanced manufacturing, creating tens of thousands of jobs here in America!”
• The Times ruled Biden’s statement lacked context and Biden calculated $650 billion based on “public announcements of investments — not necessarily dollars spent — across industries targeted by Mr. Biden’s legislative accomplishments.”

3. “I am cutting our carbon emissions in half by 2030.”
• The Times determined that Biden’s statement lacked context and Biden confused his goal of cutting emissions in half with what his actual policies would cut.

4. “We’ve already cut the federal deficit over a trillion dollars.”
•The Times ruled Biden’s claim needed context:
Under Mr. Biden’s watch, the federal deficit dropped to $1.4 trillion in fiscal year 2022 from $3.1 trillion in fiscal year 2021 — but much of that reduction was attributed to the expiration of coronavirus relief spending. The deficit then rose in 2023, to about $1.7 trillion. The deficit remains higher than it was before the coronavirus pandemic.

5. “You know, there are 1,000 billionaires in America. You know what the average federal tax is for these billionaires? They are making great sacrifices: 8.2 percent. That’s far less than the vast majority of Americans’ pay.”
•The Times reported Biden’s claim did not “technically” reflect the current tax rate.

6. “Many of my friends on the other side of the aisle want to put Social Security on the chopping block.”
•“Republicans are not currently calling for cuts to Social Security,” the Times said. Former President Trump, in fact, said in 2022 that he would never cut Social Security.

On #6, the Times is lying. The Republican Study Committee, which comprises 175 House Republicans ("many") proposed significant cuts to Social Security. Of course, we all know that Trump always keeps his word.

And here’s Trump himself on CNBC this morning.

“They signed up knowing the risks and believing in the mission of serving their fellow Americans by keeping our nation safe. Our gratitude is profound and their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

We extend our deepest condolences to their families and loved ones, as well as their colleagues in the National Guard and U.S. Border Patrol. We pray for the injured Guardsman’s swift recovery.”

Yeah, totes the same.

Biden keeps showing Republicans as venal liars, both in his wicked SOTU that caught the GOP flat footed, and in real life.

Are Trump and Biden really good at anything useful? No, that's why their approval ratings are so low. They are piss-poor leaders. I' still think Biden is the better option of the two but it is a comparison of two complete jokes running for the most powerful position in the world through 2029.

They are very very different and Biden is vastly superior. Analysis of the difference between these two is not your strong suit.

It's not difficult to picture them both as inept vegetables in 2027. Oh by the way, they are seeking office to lead the most powerful country in the world until 2029. Easy choice of neither for any educated person.
