Welcome to our little Twitchy experiment where I am going to attempt to live-blog Biden’s State of the Union Address in real-time.
Pray for me.
***
Welp, the First Lady has arrived and shocker of all shockers, she’s not wearing any sort of curtain or couch pattern.
First Lady Biden.
We see you!#sotu2023 #SOTU pic.twitter.com/DzD5ReK5CB— Mel (@melvinjtk) February 8, 2023
Huzzah for her stylist figuring out that less is more.
Also, what the heck is Bono doing sitting with Paul Pelosi?

Also, a lot of Lefties on Twitter are super mad that more people aren’t masked up.
"Optics" while people are still dying and getting sick from a pandemic. #sotu2023 #msnbc

And here we go … Biden has arrived.
Chuck Schumer looks like the Grim Reaper skulking behind Biden … creepy #sotu2023
— The🐰FOO (@PolitiBunny) February 8, 2023
Others notice Biden seems to be chewing on something as he enters.

No. Idea.
Also, hearing there are ZERO mentions of the word ‘balloon’ in the upcoming speech.
Everyone ready for the embarrassment that is Joe Biden? Here we go! #SOTU2023
— Katie Smith (@ohsmitt) February 8, 2023
Returning after the speech starts …
Ugh, with the joke about the Superbowl and Jill Biden.
But aces to Biden for congratulating Kevin McCarthy with a round of applause.
Dr.Jill looks nervous…lol #sotu2023
— Kira (@RealKiraDavis) February 8, 2023
Who could blame her?
And there’s the lie about creating jobs …
“I created 12 million jobs”.. then talks about how covid shut down our country lol. those 12millions jobs are from us being shut down!!! #sotu2023

— Steve (@smsnotwork) February 8, 2023
Joe seems to think Democrats and Republicans have been working together over the past two years.
At least that’s what I think he said?
The mumbling has already begun.
Biden talking about uniting the country.
I don't disagree with Biden on this point: America is full of possibilities. Where we differ is I know that bigger and bigger government is bad for our country. #SOTU #SOTU2023

Now he’s talking about the middle class becoming ‘shadows of what they used to be’.
Claiming we lost our pride?
What?
Where are the jobs joe? Cuz I ain’t got one #sotu2023

Ugh, here come the dad quotes.
‘A job is a lot more than a paycheck.’
Riiiight.
And there’s another ‘folks.’
PS: People working multiple jobs to get by is not a great thing.
Hang in there … gonna be hard though #sotu2023 pic.twitter.com/6y2rStBfwS
— Kim Monk (@kimmonk62) February 8, 2023
Yadda yadda yadda … more bipartisan.
Joe talking about being criticized for wanting the supply chain to start in America. Why would anyone criticize that?
Yeah, calling BS on that one.
Okay which #Biden is this?? I've seen bout 4 different versions of dude lol #Clones #Reptilan #StateOfTheUnionAddress
— $hawtyMoe (@ShawtyMoe954) February 8, 2023
Fair.
Ok, getting a little lost now. He always stumbles over the numbers.
Another folks.
And now the yelling.
Folks …
Why does Biden keep yelling at all of us? lol #sotu2023 #StateOfTheUnionAddress
— The🐰FOO (@PolitiBunny) February 8, 2023
Kevin McCarthy’s face is cracking me up.
I don’t know how he can sit there …
Babbling now about freight and other stuff.
Folks.
Cheap ‘union pop’. The FOLKS who build the Cincinnati skyline.
Mr President, I know you say that you’re just getting started, but on behalf of the remaining dollars in my wallet, please stop #sotu2023 @PolitiBunny

All construction products for Federal buildings will now be made in America. Lumber, glass, drywall, cable …
Folks.
Ok, and now we get the sensitive Biden worried about how we all feel invisible.
No parents would’ve had to take kids to McDonald’s for internet to do schoolwork if you didn’t shut down schools in the first place, ya dunce. #sotu2023
— Erin (@ErinGoBORO) February 8, 2023
Cancer. Illness. Medical bills. Sell the house … what? He gets it. Even though we don’t. Oh, and now he’s talking about the Inflation Reduction Act like it actually reduces inflation. That’s adorable.
FOLKS. FOLKS. FOLKS. #sotu2023 #StateOfTheUnionAddress

He seems to be slurring his words together more than normal…. has he not had enough practice giving speeches for the last 50 years? #sotu2023

You had a TURN KEY COUNTRY and completely 💩‘d in less than 2 years #sotu2023
— Savannah (@SunnyInTheKeys) February 8, 2023
Notice Joe leaves out how he reversed Trump’s order to cap insulin … classy. And there’s the weird whispering.
Biden asking why people would want to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act without understanding that they held insulin costs hostage to pass this crap bill to begin with.
Look … folks … look … folks.
BIDEN: “Two years ago, the economy was reeling.”
Two years ago, inflation was 1.4% and gas cost $2.39/gal.
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) February 8, 2023
AND HERE COMES THE CLIMATE CHANGE NONSENSE.
Lower utility bills? WHAT THE HELL?
Tax credits for Americans to buy things they can’t afford to buy in the first place.
WINNING.
He’s almost said ‘we’ve got to finish the job’ as much as ‘look’ and ‘folks.’
Democrat pushing the fair share lie.
FWIW, as a Republican, I’ve had my eyes on @kevinomccarthy for the last half hour. Dude has been stoic, listening, and absorbing. My level of respect for the Speaker is 📈 #sotu2023

See Trump noticed it too.
Biden talking about quadrupling taxes on the rich – he’s also lying about who they are really cracking down with taxes. It’s waitresses, freelancers, and other gig workers. And now trashing Trump, and the booing … and Biden doesn’t like that.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Yelling match between ‘folks’ and Biden, and I’m pretty sure I can hear someone yelling ‘liar.’
Folks.
Oh ffs it's clear that Biden is gonna run again, they pumped him full of adrenaline for this 🤦♀️ #sotu2023
— Moriah (Galores Flying Circus) (@GaloresCircus) February 8, 2023
Please stop blaming and crediting the @POTUS for adding to or subtracting from the deficit and the debt. Congress holds the purse strings. #sotu2023

This is all I can picture as they yell BOO at @POTUS right now…. #sotu2023 pic.twitter.com/5tOpqYAMBR

Fight!! #sotu2023
— Maverick (@rightonredstate) February 8, 2023
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!
Joe lying about not raising taxes on anyone making less than $400K. What does he think inflation is? And c’mon, we all know the Inflation Reduction Act will raise taxes on the middle class.
It’s kinda obvious that literally no one in Congress respects Joe Biden yikes #sotu2023
— Wine and Politics Podcast (@janemariebarnes) February 8, 2023
It’s pretty freakin’ cringe.
Also, I am doing this sober … just thought I’d throw that in.
I would like to see @POTUS as adamant about protecting Medicaid as he is about Social Security and Medicare. #sotu2023
— Melissa Boteach (@mboteach) February 8, 2023
This thing is WAY better on 1.5x speed.#SOTU2023
— Bekah Congdon (@LibertyBeks) February 8, 2023
Heh.
He’s whispering about Junk Fees now … now yelling about cell phones. Hey, this isn’t a terrible idea but people aren’t necessarily worried about junk fees, we’re worried about the cost of eggs, Sparky.
Now talking about the dignity of work.
How many times is Biden going to say LOOK! WTF lol #sotu2023
— SHTF_NH (@SHTF_NH) February 8, 2023
And pushing the unions and the living wage.
Biden was outplayed by a balloon this week.
— thebradfordfile (@thebradfordfile) February 8, 2023
Let’s finish the job …
Look.
Folks.
By the way, Lying Biden is trending right now.

$35 Insulin was introduced by Trump and was removed by lying Biden on day 1.https://t.co/0hPkxuo4O6
— Indict Biden (@IndictBiden) February 8, 2023
I swear, if he says, ‘let’s finish the job’ again I’m going to need a drink.
Now he’s playing the COVID card, pretending 800k of the 1 million who passed away did so under his watch. And PLEASE, spare parents the nonsense about how hard Democrats worked to open the schools up. They worked to keep them SHUT. Notice he doesn’t mention the teacher’s unions and what they did to work with this administration to keep the schools closed.
Biden: “Covid deaths are down by 90%”
Really? 2022 had the most #Covid deaths on record and we still have over 4K people dying from Covid every week.
I guess when you stop the reporting the data looks better on paper but the reality is far different. #sotu2023
— Joshua Aaron (@stealingheather) February 8, 2023
ARGLE BARGLE RAR.
He jumped to identity theft now and even I feel lost. Still sober.
Onto the parents of Tyre Nichols and racist cops.
Biden is getting real on racism, police, and “the talk.”#sotu2023
— Gavi Begtrup (@GaviBegtrup) February 8, 2023
*whisper whisper whisper*
Getting real? C’mon.
But hey, props for being supportive of the cops.
Not one word for the 64 Police Officers that were shot and killed last year, and not one word for those injured.#LyingBiden #SOTU2023
— Future Governor Of New Jersey Elect!! Alex Allis (@My3Alexandra) February 8, 2023
Sort of …
@POTUS never had to tell his kids how to be safe out there because he would just tell the help to do it. #TurkeyEarthquake #sotu2023 #cops #TyreNichols #earthquakes #whataboutus
— PapaWilly (@PapaWi11y) February 8, 2023
Now onto gun violence.
I may have to drink. JUST KIDDING.
Yells, BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS … which do not exist. And now he’s bragging about how he led the fight to do this in 1994.
Joe, you did nothing about gun violence. You pushed for laws that have had literally zero impact. This point and police violence are two massive failures that #Democrats, despite their rhetoric, have been almost as bad as #Republicans on.#SOTU #StateOfTheUnionAddress #sotu2023
— Mitchell Plitnick 🔥🕎 (@MJPlitnick) February 8, 2023
#sotu2023 Can we ban assault “presidents” @JoeBiden?? “Assault weapons” lmao. You’re a tool.

Did he really just jump to immigration? And did he just brag about securing the border? What?
Hearing some now pushing to close the border …
NOWWWWW he wants to secure the border? NOWWWW fentanyl is a problem?? #sotu2023
— B (@chitownfan97) February 8, 2023
Biden jumped from the border really quickly to abortion.
HE WILL VETO ANY EFFORTS TO SAVE THE LIVES OF UNBORN BABIES … he yelled it.
I think.
What a vile human, so firmly dedicated and devoted to the continued killing of unborn babies. #sotu2023
— verytari (@verytari) February 8, 2023
Because of course, he did.
Why does Kamala's neck look 50 years older than her face? #sotu2023

Heh.
Accurate. Spelling and everything.
Sort of mentioning the balloon, bragging about taking it out … after it had already gone all the way across the country.
Oh snap. President Biden is shouting at the chamber now. #sotu2023
— Brock Shelby (@WatchZBS) February 8, 2023
Dude, he’s yelled a lot.
Fentanyl now … whispering about a dad who lost his daughter. He really needs to touch on how much Fentanyl is coming across the border.
Republicans yelling they should close the border and yikes, one of them said it’s Biden’s fault.
Ouch.
It’s 10:15 PM, way past Joe Buffoon Biden’s bedtime. Gettem nurse….#sotu2023
— Order In the House (@OrderNtheHouse) February 8, 2023
Moving right along to vets and how they shouldn’t be homeless, never touching on how the billions we’ve sent to Ukraine would help these homeless vets.
Folks. Whispering.
Almost no foreign policy included in Joe Biden's State of the Union address
Given the willingness of strategically important parts of the world to work with the US it seems a missed opportunity#StateOfTheUnionAddress #sotu2023 #JoeBiden
— Joe Jenkins (@Joe__Jenks) February 8, 2023
He’s whispering about cancer. Don’t get me wrong, I’m super glad Ava is beating the odds and fighting cancer but this just feels like he’s using her story for his own gain. Maybe I’m cynical, or maybe I’m tired and getting cranky.
Hey, it’s been almost 90 minutes of this and I’ve managed not to curse.
Insurrectionists.
January 6
And tying it to Paul Pelosi? WTF?!
Paul Pelosi is wearing a hat inside the House Chamber. Who the Hell does he think he is? #sotu2023
— Brandon Weichert (@WeTheBrandon) February 8, 2023
Is that Bono? #SOTU2023 #SOTU #DarkBrandonDelivers
— YOLO- eat all the ass. (@Category_Is_) February 8, 2023
It is.
Weird right?
Ok, so Biden is really going to town about how awesome America is but I can’t quite make out what the heck he’s saying soooooo … moving on.
FINALLY giving his report.
I think.
Oh, and he says the state of the union is strong. HA HA HA HA HA HA
Man.
–When will #SOTU2023 be over?? 👀
— Heritage Action (@Heritage_Action) February 8, 2023
And FIN. THANK YOU GOD.
Also, thank YOU, dear readers, for being here with me while I ‘live blog’ this insanity. You are all pretty freakin’ rad.
God bless America.
