    The night the old man handed them their asses

    Everything the Republicans say they are for the working class is what this president has become. Trump said he stood for “the working man” while making it clear that “the working man” was white. Biden stands for “the working man,” but makes clear “the working man” is anyone who works.

    For Trump, “real Americans” were straight, Christian and male.

    For Biden, “real Americans” are real Americans.

    Don’t let the commentariat fool you into believing Biden was just doing what Trump did, only better, with policy backing up his words. When it comes to “made in America” and domestic nation-building, Trump is an imitator. 

    Biden is the Original Gangster.

    WOTD from Sarah Huckabee.

    "We are under attack in a left-wing culture war we didn’t start and never wanted to fight. "Every day, we are told that we must partake in their rituals, salute their flags and worship their false idols."

    Umm… I don't have any words to respond. Who is we? Who is they?

      It sounds like she wants to restart Pat Buchanan's 1992 cultural war declaration from the GOP convention in Houston.

      How did that work out?

        She made Aunt Lydia so very proud last night. 
         

        There aren’t enough rolling eye emojis to respond to that culture war bullshit by a woman who governs barely 3 million Americans, winning her election with 569,000 votes.

      That was less a Republican rebuttal and more of a “Look at me!! Look at me!!”

      Biden: Capping insulin for all Americans at $35 a month, providing free community college, restoring the Child Tax Credit — which lifted almost one in three poor children out of poverty — raising taxes on corporate stock buybacks, reducing fees, including resort fees at hotels that aren't resorts.

      Sanders: Life sucks. Democrats only have woke policy and wokeness, from scary wokey mcwokeface, they are so woke. Did I scar you saying woke? WOKE! One time Trump was nice. Your choice is between crazy and normal.

      Sure that's how it sounds to us but the reason conservatives feel "Every day, we are told that we must partake in their rituals, salute their flags and worship their false idols." is because to them even candy is shoving be empathetic down their throat.

    Anyone else think MTG looked like Cruella DeVille in that outfit?

    Red Carpet news from the SOTU.

    Cruella de Marge was NOT wearing the ugliest dress!

    Two great movie suggestions: Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris and Flypaper (the one staring Patrick Dempsey)
