President Joe Brandon's SOTU shows the Republicans have nothing to offer the American people

 And the Gross Qanon Party is naught but bigots and trolls.

Seriously, they couldn't help themselves, the heckling and Karen tantrums from the Congress.  I hope the Corporate Media which is invested in the concepts of the comity of the Senate and the civility of the House report on how uncouth, obnoxious and down right stupid the Republicans came off last night.

Shouting, jeering, screaming about the border.  Fentanyl is not coming in over the border by some Breaking Bad Los Pollos Hermanos Gus Fring Mexican Drug Cartel empire.  It's here.  It's being produced by the biggest drug pushes in world history the Sackler Family and their Pharmaceutical co-conspritators.

President Biden also tastefully handled the pissy Republicans griping about him laying out their stated plans to swindle America out of her Social Security.  As well as, pointing out "the facts" about who blew up the debt and deficit when Trump and his Republican allies in Congress, added $8 Trillion in just 4 years.  It was absolutely masterful when President Biden responded to the shouts from Major Traitor Greene and other deplorable Republicans with, "So folks, as we all apparently agree, Social Security and Medicare is off the books now, right?” 

Republicans really fucking hate when you tell the truth about their ideology and policies.

But, this is what happens when a party spends all its' time huffing each others farts and listening to the incestuous rightwing propaganda bubble.  You end up believing your own lies.

It was a good performance by President Biden who has done a very good job these past two years.

A Couple of Republican Qunts embarrass themselves at the SOTU as conservatives continue to piss on Veterans

Two Qunts and One Cool Cat 

Of all the despicable actions by Republicans, and the list is expansive and all-encompassing, the most shocking and shameless is the the ease Republicans cloak themselves in the mantle of Veterans sacrifices.

Major Traitor Greene and Lauren 'Dick Flasher' Boebert are vile trolls.  And both decided to scream and heckle at President Biden during the State of the Union (SOTU) last night.  As I pointed out in my return to blogging back about the 13 last servicemembers to die in Afghanistan; Republicans only care about Veterans, the fallen, and active duty service members whom they can shamelessly use to advance the rightwing agenda of hatred, intolerance and the oppression of the working class.  Republicans don't give a shit about about the military.

The Qunt outburst is unsurprising but long before Greene and Boebert slithered into Congress the GOP had taken to misappropriation of Veterans Sacrifice and assumed they are the Party of Veterans when they are not.  

12 years ago at the ridiculous CPAC 2010 I wrote up a short description of every Republican chickenhawk who spoke.

Going back further Post World War 2, the most famous Republicans Ronnie Raygun and John Wayne both became hyper-jingoistic "patriots" because both eschewed military service during the war.

William F. Buckley Jr. claimed for years to have been a front line Infantry solider fighting the Nazis, but as Gore Vidal correctly pointed out in 1968 the truth was Buckley was a crypto-nazi who exaggerated his wartime service.

Even Mitt Romney, whom reporters have warmed to again as a wonderful strong daddy Republican figure,  led pro-Vietnam war protests while he himself had no intention of serving.  Although Romney did manage to get to France instead of French-Indochina in the late 1960's.

Republicans have cloaked themselves in the bravery of others for so long, they feel no shame in pretending they get to speak for Veterans and that Veterans are ipso facto automatically conservatives.  They don't.  More Veterans and Active Duty voted for Joe Biden than Traitor Trump. 

What is also disappointing but not unexpected are those Republicans who did serve, aid and abet the chickenhawks, and allow them to sully Veterans who have different political views than right-wingers.  Conservatives don't "Support the Troops" unless those Troops can be used to advance whatever the conservative political position is that day.

Back in 2005, when the Bush DoD was lying about his death, Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity refused to believe Pat Tillman, who rightwingers had elevated the living legend status, supported John Kerry, liked Noam Chomsky, and was against the Iraq War, "I don't believe it" and "I don't believe it either" the two warmongers told each other from the safety of the Faux News Studio.

That same Ann Coulter stated Pennsylvania Congressman Jack Murtha was the "reason fragging was invented".  In 2005, Republican Mean Jean Schmidt decided to insult Murtha on the floor of the House, by saying "cowards cut and run and Marines never do".  Btw, the reason Coulter and Schmidt were attacking Murtha for his call to withdraw troops from Iraq, a position these days Republicans claim Trump smartly made.

Trump is a whole hefty bag of chickenshit false bravado himself.  The litany of his faux bravery, unearned swagger, and juvenile concepts of patriotism would fill another whole post.  So, I'll just point out at CPAC 2022 Trump intimated he'd be braver than Volodymr Zelenskyy if he had too.  The man who hid in the White House basement. 

Republicans got very comfortable claiming the mantles of Patriotism and the Flag and Support our Troops while doing none of it.  So Greene and Boebert will pay no price for their actions because conservatives piss on Veterans.

Eta:

I nearly forgot... last August, conservatives spread a despicable lie that no one from the Biden White House was present when the plane carrying back the 13 last servicemembers arrived at Dover AFB.  This monstrous rightwing lie gathered steam in the early hours of Twitter and numerous rightwingers began embellishing the lie with fictitious images, fake White House daily schedules, and eyewitness verifications.  Even after the propaganda campaign failed conservatives paid no price and simply moved on to their next fabricated smear job.

Barack Obama already ranks among the Greatest US Presidents

President Obama has been one of the best Presidents America has ever had. After Barack wins re-election in 2012 his second term will cement him in the Upper Echelon. Having Barack Obama as Our President makes me proud to be an American again.

To think of the destruction Obama was handed from the Worst President In US History George W. Bush and then having to face the Second Civil War as the Republicons in Congress made their Only Stated Policy Goal of 'making him a One-Term President'

But, even facing the daily lies from Faux News, the destructive anti-American policies of the Punk-Ass GOP, the smears from Right-Wing funded think tanks and the blubbering of ponderous Toxic Right Wing Radio Commentators declaring "I Want Him to Fail." President Obama arrested the collapse of the Nation and set us upon the Path towards a more perfect, equitable Union.

It won't be easy to create a Better America. The Republicon Congress has no intention of helping America. For 3 years the Right-Wing has been harming America and hurting Americans in an Campaign to Blame Barack for their torching of the Country. The Evil Stain on the Nation, that Party of Bigots and Thieves, the GOP will stop at nothing to beat down the People and serve their Plutocratic Masters.

Additionally, the Alternate Reality sewn in the minds of the duped and ignorant rubes who vote for Republicons is working. Self conditioning Right-wing bloggers, who've absorbed so much propaganda, continue to furiously try to downplay the Massive Achievements of Barack Obama the Great.

The State of the Union Address was Epic. Obama covered many of the things, but not all, we Liberals wanted to hear. It's a repudiation of Conservative Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining Prosperity Reaganomics. Obama's call for the Government to step up and reign in the murderous Oil Companies, the greedy and viscous Hedge Fund Vultures, to create a sensible economic policy, a return to investing in American jobs, and an end to the Era of the Greedy 1% served notice.

More needs to be done after Obama's Victory in 2012. An End to the Phony War on Terror, especially in Afghanistan but also the drone attacks in and around HOA, a solution to Gitmo, higher taxes on Thieving Disaster Capitalists, a transaction tax on Wall Street, a Single-Payer Medicare Option for All and more. But once we Liberals Stand Behind Our President and get him re-elected the Sun will again Shine on America the Beautiful.

The fantastic David Corn over at Mother Jones writes Obama's SOTU,
With this speech, Obama forcefully presented a view of the nation and the tasks at hand that positioned him as a can-do, patriotic, forward-looking optimist against obstructionist Republicans with a dark take on the nation's prospects. He pitched government policies that would bolster middle-class security: job-training programs, tax credits for college tuition and repatriating jobs to the United States, mortgage refinancing, research-and-development spending, and measures to boost domestic manufacturing. "Take the money we're no longer spending at war," he declared, "use half of it to pay down our debt, and use the rest to do some nation-building right here at home."

Due to this shift, the 2012 race is shaping up as a titanic face-off between a president who advocates using government to bolster the economy and address inequities and Republicans who have one answer to everything: Smother government and let the markets run free. In his speech, Obama called for "great projects." Republicans call for no projects—that is, nothing outside the private sector. This is a damn clear contrast.
Damn Clear contrast David and a damn clear choice, Barack Obama the Great or a Republicon slug.
