Tweetmaster Jeff Tiedrich wrote this alternative SOTU script.....It's long but worth the read.......

Madam Vice President, Mister Barely Speaker After Fifteen Ballots, our First Lady and Second Gentleman, members of Congress and the Cabinet, Justices of the Supreme Court, my fellow Americans:

now, before we start: Lauren Bobblehead and Marjorie Three Toes Greene, sit the ---- down and shut the ---- up. nobody wants to see a repeat of your disgraceful behavior from last year. you're government officials and grown adults, it's time to act like it.
ok, on with the show.

the state of our union is ... pretty ------- awesome.
two years ago, I inherited an utter ------- --------. the worst pandemic in a century. the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.
now, two years later, check this ---- out:

" over 12 million jobs have been created. that's more jobs created in two years than any president in a four-year term.
" the unemployment rate is down to 3.4%. that's the lowest level in 54 years.
" wages are up.
" inflation is down.
" our economy has added 800,000 manufacturing jobs since I took office and private companies have announced more than $300 billion in manufacturing investments here in the U.S.
" American manufacturing is booming.
" a month's supply of insulin is now capped at $35 for seniors on Medicare.

now, to a lot of you out there, this is the first time you're hearing this. but you would already have known about all of this if the media would do its ------- job and report on facts and quit parroting right-wing talking points and both-sidesing the ---- out of everything.

meanwhile, what have Republicans been doing? getting mad at stoves. getting mad at M&Ms. shouting about imaginary border crises. they're trying to distract you from the fact that beyond tax cuts for the obscenely weathly and stupid revenge investigations, they don't have ----. not one useful policy proposal that would benefit the average American.

Jim Jordan, the shouty half-dressed degenerate wrestling coach who looked the other way in the shower room and also looked the other way when he was subpoenaed to appear before the January 6th Committe, is going to waste everyone's time on pointless investigations. know what, Jimbo? bring it the ---- on. subpoena anyone you care to. we won't run and we won't hide. we'll show up. because we've done nothing wrong, and we have nothing hide.

House Republicans, don't even bother trying to pass any stupid -------- legislation. I'll veto it so ------- fast you won't even know what hit you.
well, that's it for today, folks. Sarah Huckabee Sanders will be giving the Republican response. have fun watching her destroy what's left of her political career.

God bless America. thank you and goodnight

The attendees are a political statement.

For example...

Here are the Supreme Court justices attending, sitting out State of the Union
thehill.com

...The five sitting Supreme Court justices attending the State of the Union are being joined by two of their predecessors, the first time a retired justice has attended the president's address in 26 years.

Retired Justices Stephen Breyer and Anthony Kennedy, two regular attendees during their years on the bench, have again returned to the House chamber for the annual speech.

They are joined by their successors " Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Brett Kavanaugh " as well as Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Elena Kagan and Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

The last time a former justice attended was former President Clinton's State of the Union address on Feb. 4, 1997, when Byron White joined.

While some sitting justices haven't attended in more than a decade, Breyer and Kennedy were quite the regulars while on the bench.

They were the only two justices to attend former President George W. Bush's address in 2002, when seven of their colleagues sat out. ...

- He called Obama "an embarrassment." Obama, who turned things back around, got us back on track, and lowered W's annual deficits by 2/3rds
- He rattled on about Democrats as Trump, a narcissistic moron, committed one egregious act after another and left in disgrace.
- Now MAO rattles on about someone else who's actually done things to improve (and preserve) the lives of Americans.

Ya, now MAO blames Biden for Putin's invasion of Ukraine, responsible for higher gas prices and the resulting inflation.

Great to see him try to steer the party

'strongly behind the Middle Class', instead
of where it went to under Clinton, towards
making 'kissy face' with corporations.

The corporations don't care for people other
than as a statistic.

difference between professional politicians
that know what they are about, who they stand for,
and what they are doing, versus braying children, yelling for

'hate the other side'.

"Joe Biden's polling may be weak, but his strategic position is strong. Coming off the most productive first two years of any president since Lyndon B. Johnson, Biden's political priorities have shifted from legislation to implementation. He has already achieved more in two years than most presidents in eight: the biggest investment in the middle class since Franklin Roosevelt, in infrastructure since Dwight Eisenhower, in health care since Barack Obama and in climate change and chip technology in history. Then there's the biggest expansion of veterans' benefits since World War II, the first gun safety law since Bill Clinton " and with this week's jobs report, the lowest US unemployment rate since Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were walking on the moon."

The reviews are in....

"Dark Brandon shows up at State of the Union, mops the floor with lost Republicans

Biden went off script regularly, parrying GOP lawmakers who heckled him, at one point backing the party into a corner and getting them to swear to protect Medicare and Social Security benefits.

President Joe Biden, at the ripe age of 80, came out with ample vim and vigor in Tuesday night's State of the Union address and proceeded to mop the House floor with the howling, discombobulated remains of the Republican Party.

Preaching populism and leaning hard on his noted skill as the empathizer-in-chief, Biden bounded through a speech that acknowledged the nation's struggles while remaining unerringly optimistic."

Biden's mind is clearly still very sharp. No question. He was fully aware of everything going on all around him and responded sharply where appropriate. His delivery though is somewhat slow and a little bit stumbling.

Brilliant the way Biden forced the GOP
to deny they were going to cut Social Security
and Medicare, and then stand and applaud him
for his defense of the programs. I'm still
loving it.

Biden is playing Chess,

Somewhere their is a rich CEO GOP backer
who wanted Social Security and Medicare cut,
crying because they were so easily
lured into a trap by Biden.
