    One thing I learned from Ole Joe was that apparently the USC football coach died at the hands of an illegal alien.

    He managed to make “Lincoln Riley” and “#angry” trend on Twitter, neither of which were on my SOTU bingo card.

    Agree. His handlers knew how important this speech is and they upped his bennies scrip a tad more than needed.

    VP speech? She has all the drama nailed down and no problem spinning outright lies. Trump looking for his blue pills about now.

    Themes for tonight are “old man yells at cloud” and “woman dramatically sighs in between weird halting speech patterns.”

    News flash. Trump had the most secure border in the history of the country. Obama had a more secure border but he was from Kenya so it doesn’t count. She said that. Basically.

    She may get “bless his heart” to trend, but this is a really forced and awkward speech.

    Overdramatize much? Sorry Katie, too much for me and it is not helping with the points you are trying to make.

    The body English and mannerisms seem very rehearsed and over dramatic

    This. Seems. Like a law school, trial practice class, mock. Closing. Argument.

    Also known as someone who has heard that pausing for dramatic effect can be an effective rhetorical mechanism, but hasn’t practiced it enough to figure out where pauses actually make sense and that overusing it doesn’t drive your point home, it just makes you sound like a broken text-to-speech app.

    President Biden was listing all the things that were in the Border Bill that Republicans wanted and the camera went to Senator Lankford and he mouthed the word 'true'.
