Today In Biden Land

[Spicoli]

Is there a drinking game for tonight's SOTU address? Think I'll have to settle for every time they show that horse face Ric Flair impersonator Majory T Greene shouting something shrill.

Ok, this is pretty good

Well tonight seems to have crystallised that there's no chance of even the current incarnation of the GOP ever cutting Medicare and Social Security. Maybe Sleepy Joe baited them into it tonight. And they're not going to touch the military so that means that when the rubber does eventually meet the road fiscally (some years away yet) then we're going to be looking at tax increases not spending cuts. Although this does give them time to get crazier so who knows. At least we know that at the minute they've bottled out of anything of any significance.

As far as the balloon goes, as far as I can be bothered to read on one hand you've got the GOP saying Sleepy Joe should have shot it down immediately, on the other hand the reporting says Biden told them to shoot it down as soon as it was safe to do so and because it was so huge and was carrying equipment the size of two buses they waited until it was over water. Supposedly they were jamming its comms as well and they're digging the remains out of shallow waters off the Carolina coast. Also, too, there were loads of these things over the past years including during previous administrations and so on and so on. Is this really significant/accurate? I genuinely haven't bothered finding out.

Just a qq (quick question). Do you have any criticism at all of Biden or the Democrats? Honestly

Tell me what you think they're doing wrong or not doing or whatever.

Come on then. The southern border! Biden's open border policy is letting millions of economic migrants posing as asylum seekers into America every year! That's a hundred percent true by the way. It's an unarguable fact. I'm not disputing that at all. You're not even going to criticise this?

There must be at least the southern border policy that you think he's doing badly on. Probably other things too. You really think he's done nothing worth criticising? We both agree he's doing the least worst possible job given current circumstances?
