Title: State of the Union?
Post by: nddons on February 25, 2021, 10:28:57 AM
Article II Section 2:  He shall from time to time give to Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient;...

“Shall” = Must, not May

Does Biden think we won’t notice that he hasn’t given a SOTU, and appears to have no plan to stand before Congress and the American People?

President Thomas Jefferson and most presidents afterwards until Woodrow Wilson submitted written state of the union. There was no speechifying before a joint congressional meeting.

Xiden can't give a speech that long.

Yes, I know history.  So where is the written report?

The point, which I thought was obvious, is that Biden is breaking 87 years of history by not having a live speech in January or February, and NO ONE in the MSM appears to have noticed.

It does say from time to time without specifying how often or when.

Agreed. I can read, and I know history.

Do we need to play the Sesame Street game “One of these things is not like the others”?

At least Red State gets it.

“Let's face it. There's a big problem with having Joe try to deliver a ninety-minute speech at 9:00 p.m. at night without a teleprompter in front of Congress. He has trouble just making it through basic remarks before media for a few minutes, much less a speech of that length. They must be wracking their brains to figure out how they're going to pull it off. “

Fair enough. His written report will just say:

“C’mon man!”

Guessing it will be easier for Nancy to tear up.  Maybe he'll designate Kamala "The Original Superspreader" Harris to do it.

We jest, but I absolutely think this is part of their calculus - figuring out how they can get The Original Superspreader (love that!) to give the speech. “Progressive President Biden breaks the glass ceiling; gives Black Vice President opportunity to be on national stage.”

Another option is, in the interest of Covid dontcha know, to RECORD the speech for TV, with selective editing and canned applause.  I shit you not. The Wisconsin Governor recorded and played his State of the State address last week doing just that (but without the canned applause.)

The hypocrisy, double standard and blatant DISHONESTY of more than 95% of the MEDIA is glaringly obvious.  It is the main reason we've had a stolen election, election fraud and shitty Democrat policy through the years.  They cover for them AGAINST the best interest of the U.S. Citizen.

Biden can't do a State of the Union address.  He is mentally and physically INCAPABLE.  The Media knows this yet won't address it because they are lying Communists.

I see we're putting the MIC back in business by bombing Syria and the Superspreader is pissed that she wasn't told. That's the current State of the Union.

The Democrat left today is NOTHING like the peace loving, anti-war, pro-free speech, spiritual hippies I hung out with back in the day. Hell, some of them were even Jesus freaks.

When Bill Clinton complained that 9/11 didn’t happen on his watch. Clinton wanted his own war.

Clinton's lack of balls caused 9/11. A weak response of a few tomahawk missiles to multiple terrorist attacks during his presidency emboldened the terrorists to up their game.

Bomb Back Better.

Also, the incoming president doesn’t usually do a SOTU, does he?  I don’t think Trump did in 2017.

But certainly they don’t want Biden making speeches.

Delivered on February 28, 2017, the speech was not officially deemed a "State of the Union address"; like the freshman addresses of President George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, President Trump treated this speech as simply an "Address to a Joint Session of Congress."

I believe that the state of the union report is every year except the first year of a president.  Given that Xiden has only been in office a couple of months, do we really want his handlers to give a report on how bad they think Trump was?

The convention is that a newly inaugurated president only gives an address to a joint session of Congress, and it’s not deemed to be a SOTU. I’m 60 and have heard them all since 1980 and can’t differentiate between them. Seems like a distinction without a difference.

That’s not in the Constitution, so I think it’s a distinction without a difference.

Thanks!!  Still, I really don't want to hear the doddering idiot.  Or more worship by the MSM.  I trust the MSM to edit his talk in real time.
