State of the Union speeches are usually pretty scattershot, but President Biden’s 2023 version set a new record.
He ranged across a world of issues without substantively addressing the biggest ones — crime, the border crisis, China, the nation’s looming economic woes — because his record is so weak on all of them.
Instead, he offered lie after lie in a shameless bid to fool the electorate ahead of his 2024 run for re-election. His only “big idea” is to make bogeymen out of the wealthy and offer the American people more freebies, more unsustainable spending.
He blended brags about his supposed achievements (inflation-fueling blowout spending sprees), promos for various dead-on-arrival bits of legislation (even heavily Democratic Congresses have been unable to pass “comprehensive immigration reform”), blatantly insincere calls for bipartisanship, cynical and false attacks on his opponents (the chamber was in an uproar at his fake claim that Republicans want to slash Social Security and Medicare), bogus stats (billionaires pay roughly 24% income tax, not 8%), some fine tough talk on the Ukraine war and utter laughers (“as we made clear last week, if China threatens our sovereignty, we will act to protect our country. And we did” — by shooting down the balloon at the last possible moment?).
It had the now-usual shout-outs to guests in the audience and the standard rah-rah patriotism (“We are not powerless before the forces that confront us. It is within our power, of We the People.”).
But he had literally no overall theme, as he has no overall vision beyond his self-serving distortions and promises of more giveaways.
02/08/23 – ‘Dark Brandon’ shows up at State of the Union, mops the floor with lost Republicans –
You should have watched the speech I watched. Idiot Biden got called out when he lied (which was with every statement) causing idiot Biden to stammer and stutter and try to respond to hecklers. He was loudly heckled for his bold-face lie that Republicans want to “sunset” Social Security. When called out, he stammered, “well, not all of you”, then, “well, not a majority” and lastly “I didn’t name names”. In the end, he had to pretend be forced Republicans to abandon their plans to get rid of Social Security.
And that observation that we will need fossil fuels for at least another decade was hilariously laughable. A stand up comedian could have done better. Another decade? REALLY? We’re that close to 100% dependence on renewables? GOLLY! What a stupid dumbass. That’s what happens when he veers off a speech he’s practiced on for a month.
Prime Time just did a story showing that idiot Biden lifted almost every bit of his speech from Trump and other Republicans. HIs vision for America stinks and America hates it, so he steals from Republicans.
Idiot Biden lied with the confidence of a liar that knows the left wing Ministry of Propaganda will not call him on his lies. He was praised for not falling off the podium. That’s how low he’s lowered the bar.
Idiot Biden is a lying, corrupt, pedophilic, treasonous piece of shit.
02/08/23 – Scott doubles down on sunsetting all federal programs after Biden’s jab
Nobody is “twisting your words,” jackass. Social Security is one of the federal programs you want to require to be renewed at five-year intervals. And speaking of twisting, how is the cost-saving measure of allowing Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices a Medicare cut? The only thing it cuts is routine consumer and taxpayer price gouging by big pharma.
Not only do some people listen to what you say—they remember what you said.
Joe Biden proposed sunsetting every federal program — even MedicareIn the summer of 1975, U.S. News & World Report informed its readers about a new breed of Senate Democrat.
“Many younger Democrats — as well as some of their elders — are increasingly disillusioned with Great Society-type programs. Senator Joseph R. Biden. Jr., of Delaware, elected in 1972, told U.S. News & World Report: ‘We newer liberal Democrats are rejecting the theory of our more senior colleagues, which was that if you spend enough money you can solve any problem.’”
Biden proposed his budget reform: S. 2067, “A bill to limit the authorization of new budget authority and to require comprehensive review and study of existing programs for which continued budget authority is proposed….”
…..His bill, he explained, “limits to 4 years the length of any spending authorization for a program. … The purpose is to assure a uniform scrutiny of all programs on a regular basis.”
Biden’s 1975 bill wouldn’t have automatically terminated any program that wasn’t renewed, but it would have reduced funding down to zero without a committee review and a new authorization. It’s the same idea.
That was 1975. The current year is 2023. Biden isn’t proposing that all federal legislation automatically expire after 5 years. That’s a republican proposal.
Old man yelling and blaming others about problems he’s been part and parcel of creating for 50 years. No wonder he hasn’t a clue on how to resolve anything. Someone needs to stop this moron before he starts WWIII.
So who is the adult in room?
There’s nothing more threatening to you little pigs than women who are not given over to their hysterical emotions and follow your woke plan.
It’s not even worth bothering posting the harpy like behavior of AOC, talib, and Omar.
Stop owning yourself you dumb little prick.
Maybe you shouldn’t send mad cows to Congress. On the other hand, now everyone knows who the clowns really are…
AOC would tell a home invader that she’s offended, and thus perish.
Boebert would be passing and loading, like a good woman.
I know which one is going to be part of America’s future, and it ain’t AOC.
Here’s your installed, didn’t-win-an-election puppet dictator at his best.
I guess we’re going to have to get Trump back in office the old-fashioned way
The Ho cant hardly keep a strait face, watch they will all clap like trained seals.
What a f*cking disaster this unelected Joe Biden is.
Maybe its a new Ben & Jerrys ice cream flavor!
Now we don’t know WHAT he will veto.
Hey, we didn’t vote for that slurring drunk Pelosi. Only you idiot elect that kind of trash.
Btw, greg…MTG and/or Boebert?
Either one. Would.
Both. Would.
Not the picture from last night notice the hag sitting behind him, last night they had to issue a silver alert for some lost old man yelling pointlessly about Xi, “Name one!”
Who ever the confused old dude was he thought Chucky Shumer was Senate minority leader. Sad really sad.
Well, it ain’t the Liar in Chief. Liars should be called out and Greene and others called out the most prolific liar in the United States.
Rick Scott has proposed that all federal programs sunset after 5 years, subject to renewal.
Rick Scott’s 12 Point Plan. Refer to Point 6, page 36:
“All federal legislation sunsets in 5 years. If a law is worth keeping, Congress can pass it again.”
Rich medical providers, who get paid by government SS and Medicare, DONATED LOTS OF MONEY TO HELP BIDEN GET INSTALLED.
Much like United Healthcare, with Obama.
That’s all this is about. Biden’s regime lining the pockets of those traitors who paid him to do so.
Do you really need someone to explain what Point 6 means?
“All federal legislation sunsets in 5 years. If a law is worth keeping, Congress can pass it again.”
It means that each 5 years, our existing Social Security and Medicare laws would AUTOMATICALLY EXPIRE. No one would take any political heat for that, because it would HAPPEN AUTOMATICALLY.
Reestablishing them, however, WOULD NOT HAPPEN AUTOMATICALLY. But never fear! The programs would be renewed—in some form—by elected officials—who are all subject to term limits, and therefore not really long-term accountable for whatever they do, or fail to do.
We all know, too, how VERY GOOD these guys are at quickly addressing and coming to agreement on serious matters. Right?
Biden lied about NOTHING. They’re after Social Security and Medicare. They’re never going to tell you that, because they’d instantly lose the political support of their base. They’ll deny any such intentions, while trying to get there by stealth.
Idiot Biden lied about EVERYTHING. He never DOESN’T lie. But, what you have here is a proposal by one person. A concept. An idea. It’s neither popular with Republicans or a Republican policy. It’s nothing but something idiot Biden likes to use to try and frighten seniors and lie about Republicans.
Meanwhile, idiot Biden wants to give free health care to illegal immigrants which, by the way, he is bringing in at the rate of a half million per quarter. What’s that going to do to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security? All this while destroying the economy, crushing the tax base and chasing more jobs and businesses overseas.
If China doesn’t take over first, thanks to that Quisling piece of shit.
Yes, we know how you losers like to “technically” invent that something is true when it’s not.
It means precisely what it says:
“All federal legislation sunsets in 5 years. If a law is worth keeping, Congress can pass it again.”
Social Security entitlement is based upon federal laws that were legislated and passed by Congress and enacted by the President. No law, no Social Security.
So there you go. It’s very clear.
It’s very clear it doesn’t mean what Biden said, so yes.
There you go.
But hey, he’s not the president anyway. So who cares what he says?
Not American citizens, that’s for sure.
Reminder: you started the war in Ukraine for money.
Reminder the “save medicare/SS” is to up the payouts to those who gave money to Biden in 2020.
It’s very clear. You won’t respond, because you’re a bug, twit, traitor fuck who knows his “side” is going down.
You’re on the wrong side of this, greg. And I’m not talking about Biden/Trump.
It’s a very clear and direct statement, that means exactly what the words are saying.
Not at all.
He’s lying, but…we’re used to that.
He’s been caught lying 40,569 times, after all.
Do you really think that Americans, or anyone in the world, think this douchebag Resident is actually holding the highest office in the US, or in the history of the world??
Hint: no you don’t.
From the SSA website
Social Security Retirement Insurance Benefits its an insurance.
Yeah. Right. Insurance. Paid in accordance with a federal program defined by federal law.
“All federal legislation sunsets in 5 years. If a law is worth keeping, Congress can pass it again.”
Do we have difficulty with the meaning of the word, “All”?
Nope.
But you’re having trouble with this, which will destroy your master’s hold on our Republic:
If SS is worth keeping in 5 years, then they can pass it again.
You fear any accountability or anything that holds politicians accountable with our money.
Why is idiot Biden collecting Social Security? Does he really NEED the money? Why doesn’t he return the payments to do HIS part to preserve Social Security? Why is idiot Biden such a greedy, lying piece of shit?
Nobody is entitled to SS.
That would certainly be the case if all federal legislation were to sunset in 5 years.
Stop doubling down. You’re an idiot.
Biden lied. He lies. It’s what he does best.
The only thing, in fact.
This isn’t going to end well for the administration, and history will show the Biden installation as the “Archduke Ferdinand” incitement that led to global war.
Most of the those infecting our Federal Government should step down, like many in the Biden dictatorship now are.
When joe introduced this same idea (as a BILL, not juat as a plan) he wanted the sunset in FOUR years!
Another rat jumps the titanic. On Tuesday, it was revealed that Labor Secretary Marty Walsh is leaving the Biden administration.
SS isnt an entitlement its an insurance we paid for, this country isnt a democracy its a Republic, idiot.
Are you under the impression that entitlements are not based on Federal laws?
Law you idiot what are youtalking about, SS isnt an entitlement, we paid real money out of our earnings for that insurance.
Yeah, that’s how you became entitled. It’s the law that makes it that way.
Seriously ignorant totally ignorant you have zero idea what you are talking about.
he United States funds a system of welfare entitlements that is far larger than most people imagine. This year, federal and state governments will spend nearly $900 billion. How does someone who never worked got knocked up become entitled to that benefit?
Why are you jackasses being paid to double-down on this SS, bullshit?
To try and throw people into a panic and justify Democrats refusing to negotiate on cutting wasteful spending. Rand Paul can produce a list of wasteful spending that can be cut immediately. Then they can go back into that last “infrastructure” bill and cut away there, too.
But the Democrats want to continue funding bridges to watch birds from or Michelle’s hiking paths or “studies” to see if animals get sad so they can steal from them. Democrats don’t want to be told they can’t waste taxpayer money, they want to exercise their right to steal; after all, it’s why they got into politics in the first place.
Do you not understand the meaning of the word “all”? This is, IN FACT, a current republican proposal:
“All federal legislation sunsets in 5 years. If a law is worth keeping, Congress can pass it again.”
Social Security and Medicare, IN FACT, exist ONLY BECAUSE OF FEDERAL LEGISLATION.
If you can’t apply some rudimentary logic and understand the obvious implications, you’re pretty much screwed, because the people who want to kill Social Security and Medicare will NEVER come right out and say it.
These are the same people who passed laws that force the victims of rape and incest to continue the resultant pregnancy. Not content with empowering the State to deprive women of privacy and access to a safe medical procedure—which will bring back the days of tragic deaths via medical incompetence—they’re now going after abortion pills.
Trump judge’s ruling could ban abortion pill across the US
Birth control will be next.
Greg congress had years to codify murder of the unborn, it isnt congress fool this is happening at state level, dont like your states laws just move from that state.
There’s not one single state where a majority of the population supported the overturning of Roe v. Wade. NOT ONE.
We don’t decide things by a majority vote.
That would be tyrannical.
Besides, voting in America is not longer legitimate. The outcome of those “votes” and “polls” are corrupted intentionally by a state that is losing control over it’s newly formed dictatorship.
They mean nothing, and have NO authority.
There’s been about an uptick of about 6% in births of kids who would have been aborted.
Epic win for those of us who KNOW it’s better to be born than not.
More kids, more people, more opportunity, more growth, larger cities, more cars, more houses, more life.
Glad we’re kicking your demonic ass, you jerk.
There’s not one single state where a majority of the population supported the overturning of Roe v. Wade. NOT ONE.
Late term abortion is also not supported by a a majority anywhere. Yet, the left pushes it as reasonable . It’s the abhorrent, filthy, barbaric practice that got Roe overturned, which itself opposed late term abortions. You want Roe back? The commit to abiding by the 20 week threshold.
Gaetz introduces resolution to end military and financial aid to Ukraine, urge peace deal
Do you have photos of Gaetz licking Putin’s testicles?
That would be Hunter licking Russians for money like widows.
At least someone is talking sanely trying to get the parties to the table to talk peace.
The neocon biden is a war monger without regard for the loss of innocent life. biden should be brought before The Hague
They’re right next to the ones of him trafficking girls…
As in they don’t exist and never happened.
Those exist NO WHERE. Why do you rely on lying so much?
No republican will ever acknowledge those logical consequences, just as they won’t acknowledge an automatic expiration of all federal legislation after 5 years would affect Social Security and Medicare.
Hmm, wonder why greg avoids all things biden.
biden is the singular most threat to the safety of America and Americans.
Why does biden refuse to brief the gang of eight about the CCP spy balloon that he handled almost as bad as he handled Afghanistan.
What is the Democrat solution? Just keep printing more money? Keep running up more debt by overspending and pretend it doesn’t matter? What do Democrats plan to do?
You never answered why a multi-millionaire who is currently getting $235,000 a year from the taxpayer should be collecting Social Security? Why doesn’t idiot Biden put it back into the fund? Is he that desperately greedy that he must squeeze every nickel out of the taxpayer, even when he gets millions from his foreign investments?
We could take the cap off the amount of annual earnings subject to FICA tax, and make the capital gains of professional investors subject to FICA tax. We could prevent people from using incorporation as a means of dodging FICA taxes, since you don’t approve of the fact that the Biden’s availed themselves of the strategy.
Find that son of a bitch, confiscate his phone and his computers, put him in shackles and haul his ass into jail. That’s the precedent that’s been established. If this doesn’t happen, it proves the total weaponization of the DOJ and FBI against the political opponents of the DNC.
Why don’t you answer my question? Why does a millionaire that constantly whines about millionaires paying their fair share accept Social Security payments? Why is this shitbag so greedy and why do you support such garbage? Why doesn’t he forgo his salary, like Trump did?
I suppose because he’s 80 years old, and he and his wife paid FICA taxes for more than 50 years.
Don’t you think he should return it to Social Security to help it stay solvent? Apparently, as with every other aspect of his greedy life, he just wants to scarf up every nickel he can before someone else gets some. He’s a millionaire, thanks to Hunter’s influence peddling, the least he can do is stop sucking the life out of Social Security.
Meanwhile, he proposes collecting taxes on waiter’s and waitress’ tips. You know any waitresses that make over $400,000? There’s yet another of idiot Biden’s lies.
Idiot Biden is a lying, corrupt, incompetent, treasonous piece of shit. I can’t believe any rational human being would support such trash.
Nah. It’s just your latest shit-story that doesn’t make any sense.
Why aren’t you in jail yet, greg?
That’s not logical.
Abortion kills a child, that’s why it’s illegal.
Logic has very little to do with it. They want a world that’s ordered in accordance with their religious views.
They being you and the Left.
pro-Aborition is a religious view. It’s not logical. It’s also anti-scientific. A baby will be born once the moment of conception happens, therefore it f*cking stupid to re-invent another “point” like you fools do. That would take an act of faith, which is what you are doing.
We don’t share your religion and won’t make it the law of the land…because in this country, we have separation of church and state.
A strictly secular view of abortion is against abortion on demand, because it’s immorally killing a person instead of taking responsibility for having sex.
Whatever it is you prescribe to is religious, and very anti-science.
Idiot Biden did.
Meanwhile, your regime is behind the Nordstream attack.
Now we know.

The Ukraine War is intended by the US and the WEF.
You don’t know squat. You never have and never will, because you believe things without evidence, and deny things that evidence supports.
All the evidence of a Ukrainian coup has been verified, all evidence they knew they were crossing the line with Ukraine documented and verified, Im sorry your news does not report these things and you have zero ability to research and see for yourself.
Zelensky is nothing but an actor of dubious reputation installed by the State Dept and NGOs.
Ukraine is highly corrupt and billions of American tax dollars were siphoned off and spent on luxuries.
Your world is getting real small, son.
Why are you in jail yet for high crimes and misdemeanors against our nation?
I’m afraid the world you tried to build, one where FBI-invented consensus amongst the dumber part of our society, the Left.
Everything we know has been proven. You either remain silent, or lie.
Just take the L, you stupid little fuck.
The time Joe Biden proposed sunsetting every federal program — even Medicare
Entitled? I dunno.
https://www.cato.org/commentary/there-right-social-security
Things we know:
Do you understand insolvent? Some type of change must happen, the money placed where congress cant pillage it.
You’re right. The real tax rates on the billionaires, mult-millionaires, and giant corporations must be raised to the levels they were at when the budget was balanced, whether they like it or not.
This is obvious. The republican desire for even more tax cuts is CRAZY.
You’re a coward.
ADDRESS THIS. NOW!
Things we know:
THESE THINGS, WE KNOW…FOR CERTAIN.
What do you have to say for yourself and the wicked people you serve, asshole?
Answer me!
And when was the budget balanced? In fact, when was there a budget? Currently, the top 1% pays 42% of the taxes. And, no matter how many times you are told, you don’t seem to grasp it: corporations don’t pay taxes. They pass them on to consumers as cost of doing business, so it is in reality a tax on the consumer, mostly the lower and middle class. But, Democrats lie and pretend this is getting the “wealthy” to pay more.
Tax the goddamn illegal immigrants. Figure out how to do that and you’ll not only cut the deficit, but cut illegal immigration as well.
Stop being so stupid.
They own 1/3 of the nation’s total wealth, and have rigged the entire financial system to their own advantage. They’ve broken unions, eliminated pension plans, and offshored American jobs to boost their profits. They’ve fought regulation intended to level the playing field and protect the public every step of the way, and buy political power to further their pursuit of even more wealth.
They should be paying even more.
unions with their corruption broke themselves, people do not want to join an organization that contributes to Democrats selling their jobs down the river with ignorant one sided trade deals.
https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.breitbart.com%2Fentertainment%2F2023%2F02%2F09%2Fbidens-state-of-the-union-draws-second-smallest-tv-audience-in-history%2F
Well, 1/3rd is 33.3%, so I guess they are still paying their share. Maybe if people like idiot Biden didn’t cheat on their taxes, there would be enough. Maybe if people like Sharpton, a frequent guest of Democrats, didn’t dodge their taxes, there would be enough. But, even if you took ALL the wealth of the wealthy, you’d still have a deficit and debt. It’s how much is spent and wasted, not how high taxes are.
The wealthy haven’t “rigged the system”, legislators have. The wealthy just paid them off. How about a system based on how much you SPEND instead of how much you cannot weasel your way out of? But, no, you don’t want that… you just want to whine, piss and moan and blame the “wealthy” which includes the corrupt, treasonous liar, idiot Biden.
Based on what?
Go live in China, and you’ll get what your communistic idiot ass deserves.
But leave us out of it. Half the country doesn’t pay taxes.
They should, or they shouldn’t get to vote because they haven’t paid in.
The only time idiot Biden isn’t lying is when he is mumbling some words that no one can understand. But, the problem there is, he INTENDS to be lying.
The top 1 percent of taxpayers pay more in federal income taxes than the bottom 90 percent. As you can see in the chart below, this is a stark change from the 1980s and early 1990s. But since the early 1980s, the share of taxes paid by the bottom 90 percent has steadily declined.
source
Who is not paying their fair share?
Any raise on income tax to corporations will just cause inflation as the cost will be charged to the consumer.
Donald Trump, for one.
Bullshit the tax returns are out he has been audited numerous times.
So just stop its insanity that he dances in your tiny damaged brain.
Idiot Biden for one. And Pelosi. And Schumer. Would you agree?
He’s paid more in few years in taxes than a shit-stained no-load like you ever EARNED in your pathetic lifetime.
Just shut up, greg. We’re getting tired of insurrectionists like you.
Democrats simply don’t understand means and living within them. They always expect someone to bail them out and even when they bankrupt a service or the government, they think just printing or stealing more money is the solution. We have reached the point where the debt is breaking the economy, but Democrats have no concept of responsibility.
Yup.
And BTW, jerkoff, yes…having Congress have to vette existing laws every 5 years is a good thing.
Even SS.
You’re just pissed we’re taking your ideas to the curb before you kill us all.
Any worthy reforms or protections would not pass the senate but use it for fear mongering, hell yes.
There was a theme: Discard the truth. Don’t let a single article of truth enter into the speech because, if he wants to run again, he can’t have any facts about his record discussed or made known. Idiot Biden has no equal when it comes to lying.
