Biden's speech hit it out of the park for a number of reasons

Last edited Fri Jan 7, 2022, 10:39 AM - Edit history (3)

He called the liar a liar
He ridiculed the fool
He never once mentioned his name

That was the greatest presidential speech in ages because it addressed issues directly related to the authoritarian Slobfather, the ReTHUG party, the American political system and domestic terrorism.
Bravo Joe!

since basically all he did was tell the truth. But in today's strange times, telling the truth
is big deal, a remarkable event.

Well, some of them have and thought themselves untouchable and while they may not have watched MG and The President’s speech, they should be very worried now.

I thought inaction til now. But maybe they were being given enough rope to hang themselves.


On edit: I should add that I’m very encouraged now.

His response to the winner, the legal and honest President of the USA, began with a boldface Republican lie:

The Republican Loser said "he used my name...to put me down" A lie. A big stinking obvious lie.

The President never once used the name of the Republican loser.

Biden rubbed TFG's face in his lies and bullshit and not once would say his name.

Wildly insecure demented sociopath was seething just like he did when President Obama roasted him during the press dinner back in 2011. Guaranteed he’s plotting to get even when he gets re-elected in 2024 with all kinds of illegal retribution just like that piece of garbage Hitler and his fellow thugs pulled back in the day.

The good news is, between now an 2024, our side is going to fight that manipulative con man liar and a cheat relentlessly, never letting voters forget what a despicable stunt he pulled as the only President to ever mount an insurrection.

I took the image from JHBs cartoon thread - note his caption which I included.
Guess the cartoonist photoshopped it with Biden’s head,
I also found a Twitter thread with it but the graphic in the OP had been deleted.
