Tonight, Thursday, March 7th, is the State of the Union Address so lets keep everything related to it (including the Republican response) confined to this thread.
This is probably one of the most important speeches Biden can give this year. He has to come across as “Present”, not just “President”.
This will set the tone for the campaign the rest of the year and will be second only to the Democratic Convention speech in August for visibility.
Watch it live here:

Or through your favorite news source.
The Republican response will be delivered by Senator Katie Britt of Alabama:

Republican response from Katie Britt here:
I encourage you to watch the video and not just read the transcript. Reading it doesn’t carry just how breathless and borderline weepy her delivery is.
He always does this, and it pisses the Secret Service off to no end lol
I would imagine they don’t need quite the same alertness that you’d have in public - should be a secure area with known people (granted, I wouldn’t want him alone with Gaetz or MTG)
All he’d need is a pocket of oats and a skin mag to control those two.
I don’t know why I wrote this and I could press delete, but sharing is caring.
This has to be a flash animation.
We have ai, we have deep fakes, why stop at flash?
I don’t know. Back in the day, a senator beat another senator almost to death with a cane. That chamber has had its moments.
