State of the Union 2023 - The Debt Ceiling Standoff Edition - PBP

Is there going to be a Play By Play of the speech and the follow ups? If so... the thread should be headlined appropriately!

 

Oh, and the card left off the possibility of the President saying "If I want any shit out of you {Broebert, Greene, whomever} I'll squeeze your head."

 

What will Republicans be outraged about tonight?

Chinese balloons?
Ukrainians killing poor defenseless Russians?
People speaking something other than English?
Black people voting?
Gay people living?
Women having rights?

 

A lot of people have been asking if I'm planning on ripping up President Biden’s speech tonight. Here’s my answer: pic.twitter.com/WRlAlYgCbs

I for one will be disappointed that McCarthy will not tear up a copy of Biden’s speech

 

children being mutilated in pursuit of Transgender Ideology?

 

edited to give the post the "respect" it deserves instead of what I originally wrote which addressed the blatant but expected performative outrage lies. The day Republicans actually show that they care about trans kids and actually do things that help them, such as reduce suicide rates, is the day hell freezes over.

 

If Biden's speech as shitty as Trump's, fine with me.

It won't be good, but it won't be that awful.

 

What are the chances, there will be a drag queen in the gallery, as a guest of the President?

 

Hey, leave your fetishes out of this!

 

Besides George Santos, you mean?

I certainly hope so, but I highly, highly doubt it would be as a guest of the President.

Could you explain what you have against "drag queens," marek?

 

that’s right, Santos!
Democrats must be mad that the first drag queen in Congress is a Republican, they cannot add that to the list of firsts


drag queens?
it’s a gender ‘black face’
men dress up as women and pretend they are women, acting it out in an exaggerated and stereotypical manner

 

MTG won't be in the gallery, HateMonitor

You really need to lay off the Spirytus during daytime hours, potatohead

 

You are a funny guy.
I don't think the Democrats are in the least bit "mad" that Santos is a Republican or an alleged drag queen.

Umm, no it is not.

It is pretty apparent that you have never seen a drag show.
They do not "pretend they are women."
That is not the point...at all.
However, I can see how are you confused by this.

As for "exaggerated and stereotypical manner," I would say "exaggerated?" Of course, exaggeration and being "outrageous" is the point.
"Stereotypical?" I have never seen a woman act in the manner of a drag queen. Not in the least.

 

where do I go to get a pass like you have?
You know, to be make bigoted remarks and get away with it

oh, never mind… it’s not a pass… you just have to direct your bigotry at someone who does not buy into the groupthink

 

Since you seem to be an expert on these shows, I will take your description under consideration
I do not agree, but I will consider it

 

I would not say I am an "expert," but I know a few drag performers and have known some in the past.
They are not at all as you describe them.

 

I think I know who triggered him today

Still first page?
is so, there’s still time to add [R] to the title

 

Apparently, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders will give the Republican response.

 

At least they can do performative outrage. But that's about all they can do.

If he's a typical Republican, he gets upset by it because he is turned on by it.
