"You can't love your country only when you win!"

Vice President is getting a lot of exercise during this speech.

“You can’t only love your country when you win”
That one quote will be in the history books looking back at this time in American politics

"You can't love your country only when you win ..."

So weird that people can't applaud the other side, even when saying stuff that should just be common sense.

Good internet. Nah. Good education. Nah. Billionaires paying more taxes than a teacher. Nah. Cap prices on medication. Nah. Give people affordable cancer treatment. Nah. Invest in infrastructure. Nah. Make it cheaper to own a home. Nah.

But Joe, if you cut credit card fees down to 8 bucks the CEO of these banking companies might not be able to afford their 3rd yacht.

don't pay Congress until they do their job!!!

Average age in the room is over 70 and average net worth well over 2 million each. Something ain’t right here

I would never have thought that the house of congress would have reduced to the maturity level of some crowd of high school students at the spring rally.

The number of times Mike Johnson nodded in agreeing with Biden would make me a millionaire

[SMOOVKILL]

He seems sane to me. Its really crazy to see when he talks about the price of prescription drugs and the whole other side of the room doesn't stand up and clap. Weather he can do it or not it looks like a room full of drug dealers. As a Canadian looking in the fact that Americans dont get the healthcare they deserve is hard to see. Its the privitization thats a problem. Looking into politics its frustrating to watch both sides not come together on the things they agree on that benefit citizens.

I’m a Republican, but that was a strong State of the Union by President Biden. It also convinced me that Mike Johnson has to go. Republicans and Democrats hold different opinions on policies, but we shouldn’t be opponents, and especially not enemies. Johnson should have been professional and sat there without shaking his head, rolling his eyes, and having that smug look on his face. It’s time for Johnson to go.

Kamala Harris and Mike Johnson... Their reactions were just epic. It feels like watching a Hollywood comedy movie.

Unions build middle class - not billionaires! Indeed. Thank you for the acknowledgement

[ladytiger]

Lots of gems in this speech, but two that stand out are-

"Send me a congress..."

"You can't love your country only when you win"

[LeoPard-HQ]

While witnessing Speaker Johnson nodding in concurrence with Joe Biden's speech, it was evident that he grappled with an internal conflict, torn between embracing Biden's words and his own beliefs. This inner struggle was particularly notable, especially in the context of his affiliation with MAGA.

Mike Johnson looks like he's getting a proctology exam😂

[Heyheyhey]

Jesus Christ just give this man a rebull or something. That debate was a disaster

[cuisineallfuntravelnetwork]

True! American president should not bow down to Putin period

[unvmeever]

MTG looks like a foreign tourist on her first day in America 🤡
