Britt goes after ‘dithering, diminished’
Biden in State of the Union rebuttal

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 3/8/2024 12:44:14 AM

Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) on Thursday argued President Biden is a “dithering and diminished” leader who is taking the U.S. down a worrisome path. Delivering the GOP response to Biden’s State of the Union from her own kitchen table, the freshman senator laid into the president for the border, crime, the economy and his work on the international stage. “President Biden just doesn’t get it. He’s out of touch. Under his administration, families are worse off, our communities are less safe and our country is less secure,” she said from her home in Montgomery, Ala. “I just wish he understood what real families are facing around kitchen tables

Yep, "dithering and diminished" and a FOOL! A dangerous combination for anything, muchless President. His speech, the content and the manner, just reinforces that he needs to go! Trump 24 MAGA

Britt is reading a speech someone else wrote for her. The truth is, in the decades I've been voting, except for maybe the Reagan years, the Republican Party has squandered every chance they've been given to truly make a difference. These SOTU rebuttals are nothing but theater for them.

And the Vegetable's SOTU speech wasn't theater? Yeah, he's hard at work saving the American People, and just took a few minutes off to speak to us from the heart.

Saw Britts rebuttal. Thought she spoke to families, at least she showed some empathy. More rhetoric isn't going to change anything. Guess I'm sick and tired of all the Kabuki Theater.

Never a fan of former Sen Rick Santorum (R-PA) but I think he has a touch of TDS. He was on the Newsmax morning show today and very critical of Sen. Britt's counter speech. I did not watch her speech or the SOTU - have only seen bits. Per Ricky - she was too performative. WTH? Please Newsmax, can't you find other analysts besides dinosaurs like Santorum, Barney Frank and Ellis Hennican?

@5, I got the same reaction as Santorum. Overly dramatic and emotional and as another poster noted, probably written for her and so she was acting it out. It seemed aimed at fragile, emotional female fence sitters and didn't register well with me. She stated facts but the delivery had a democrat style emotional component to it. If that was the target audience she nailed it but I had some cringe moments watching and listening to it.

In the very few minutes I watched the SOTU, my biggest impression was his appearance. Instead of his usual ashen, clueless look, his complexion as he entered the gallery looked like a mummy I saw as a kid. It was found in a peat bog in Denmark and looked like shiny leather.

Two additional points. Santorum has been reliably critical of Trump for things he has no control over: all the indictments. I don't think Trump selected Britt to give the counter speech, but Santorum just never seems to want to give any credit to Trump for any of his successes. Did watch some portions of Britt's speech and I have to agree - it was a bit overly emotional. I thought at one point she was going to cry. I guess she was to appeal all those suburban women who hate Trump's personality. BTW - I've been hearing today by various pundits that she might be on Trump's short list for VP. Seriously?

I tuned in to Fox halfway through her speech. Didn't care for what I heard. It wasn't the substance which was fine. it was her delivery. She got way too emotional. There were moments where I thought she was about to burst into tears. I had to cut away after awhile. Perhaps the GOP should audition responders the next time they have to do this. Picking the youngest senator to contrast against senile, doped-up Joe was too cutesy and didn't work like they wanted to.

I thought Britt did fine; a little change-up from what I expected but since Biden did ugly and angry, Britt was a contrast that I believe will help Republicans defeat democrats. With some "seasoning", I think she'll improve, as her emotional delivery was intended to appeal to what I consider niche voters, whose votes could go either way. I'd rather they vote Republican to rid our country of democrat control of the WH and Congress. Reagan once appealed to such voters, including some wobbly democrats, but didn't pander to them, once he was in office.

Former GOP presidential primary candidate and Vice President Mike Pence urged Congress to pass a bill that could ban TikTok in the U.S. “The era of appeasing the Chinese Communist Party is over,” Pence said in a thread on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “Politicians claiming to be ‘tough on China’ while simultaneously supporting TikTok spewing CCP-sanctioned propaganda across the world are wrong. China is poisoning the minds of American children. Enough is enough. “Congress should pass legislation forcing the sale of TikTok as soon as possible, and President Biden must immediately sign it into law,” Pence continued in the thread.

An investigation by the Department of Defense into UFO sightings found no evidence to support the possibility of extraterrestrial life. The Pentagon published a report on Friday by its All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) reviewing 80 years of UFO sightings and concluded there is no evidence UFO sighting reflected the existence of alien life. “AARO found no evidence that any USG investigation, academic-sponsored research, or official review panel has confirmed that any sighting of a UAP represented extraterrestrial technology,” the DoD report summarizes. Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) is the technical term used to classify UFOs.

At the Republican National Committee’s spring meeting here Friday, members elevated Trump’s endorsed candidates – North Carolina GOP chairman Michael Whatley and the former president’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump – to serve as the organization’s new chair and co-chair, respectively.

Pound sand, y'all. That's my interpretation of how Houston Mayor John Whitmire handled a demand from the city's Mulsim community. Houston Muslim leaders issued a 24-hour deadline to the mayor in their demand that he call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war. There was a Thursday 5:00 p.m. deadline for the mayor to call for a ceasefire and Mayor Whitmire did not meet that deadline. More than 40 Muslim Imams and organizations threatened to boycott the city's annual Ramadan dinner. And, they threatened to remove their support. They said if he did not meet their demand Whitmire would lose audiences, business partners, and also votes.

West Texas oil billionaires Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks entered the 2024 primary election cycle wounded. Their political network was in the middle of a scandal over its ties to white supremacists.

Instead, Dunn and Wilks emerged from Tuesday perhaps stronger than ever — vanquishing old political foes, positioning their allies for a November takeover of the state Legislature, and leaving little doubt as to who is winning a vicious civil war to control the state party.

Texas voters delivered a stinging rebuke on Super Tuesday to incumbent Republicans who stonewalled Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R-TX) efforts to enact school choice in the Lone Star State. It is a message Republicans everywhere should hear. In the primary races for seats in the Texas House of Representatives, 10 Republican incumbents who helped block school choice legislation were either defeated outright or now face runoff elections. The results are a vindication for the governor, who took the unusual step of endorsing challengers to sitting lawmakers of his own party. Next year, Texas will probably become the most populous in the nation with universal school choice.
