Did we talk about this already? I watched Aggie basketball and then reruns of The Office last night so I went in fresh this morning on SOTU coverage. When the talking heads mentioned this kiss, I thought certainly it wasn't *that* awkward.
Yikes.
Yikes.
That's really weird

This is dishonest. One guy on Fox, a former Democrat congressman, after criticizing what the speech didn't include, then gave it a B+. Fox didn't give it a B+.

That's Camela's husband……obviously it's not the first time they've done that.
Did she greet Obama like that for 8 years ?? Doocy needs to ask that!!

Absolutely. To the objective world, she is the buffoon in a melodrama. Biden is too old to be President and struggles at times, but her outbursts provide him with opportunities to look like the adult in the room.

I stay at resorts all the time up and down the East Coast.
I might just have to vote for Biden now in 2024.

This isn't relevant at all. Who gives a **** about StubHub fees? I thought he said he was a capitalist?
but was he seriously discussing how as President in the State of the Union he is getting rid of RESORT FEES?!
this can't be reality anymore

Yep. Also discussed McDonalds and Burger King employment.
Quite a few "you make too much money so we are going to take it from you" moments, although he claims he is a capitalist. I may forget a few, but he definitely *****ed about big pharma, big oil, hidden fees at resorts, airlines, and concerts, and just rich folks in general.

Everyone has their breaking point. For some its gay marriage, for some its mean tweets, from some its bags fly free and no resort fees.
Seems like Biden is pandering to the Spirit Airlines vacation club crowd.

I didn't watch any of that so thought you guys were joking about resort fees.
how in the @#$@#$ does the President have any role in what Marriott charges me to stay at Hilton Head Island?!
so now instead of a "resort fee" they will just call it "your increased nightly room rate"!!
And bags fly free. He also talked about transparency in airfares which was done under Trump I believe so maybe his teleprompter had not been updated.LMCane said:fka ftc said:LMCane said:REALLLLLY?!fka ftc said:

Also, hotel sites have an option (required I believe) to show hotel rates inclusive of fees and taxes. Same with rental cars.
Its a total pander to the Spirit AIrlines crowd who will worship Joe for making their government handouts stretch further on their vacations.

I still don't understand how Biden would get a company to not charge fees..
did he claim how he will actually make that happen?!?
From NPR:
Fees are racist. Like bridges and highways and rail lines and the sky being blue. Its all racist. We must end all things racist.Quote:
"For example, we're making airlines show you the full ticket price upfront and refund your money if your flight is canceled or delayed," Biden said.
"Baggage fees are bad enough they can't just treat your child like a piece of luggage," Biden said. "Americans are tired of being played for suckers."
---snip---
"These fees can also create an uneven playing field for businesses, making firms that price in a fair and transparent manner seem more expensive than their rivals," the White House said.
The administration also pointed out the racial disparities when it comes to added fees, in that they disproportionately affect people of color.
For example, it cited a CFPB study that showed that Black consumers pay more in credit card late fees compared with other groups. A 2017 study also showed that Hispanic car buyers paid more in added fees

so somehow there are not going to be baggage fees or resort fees anymore?
and the companies won't just increase the plane ticket fare or the hotel night fare to offset the "fees" going away?
how does that happen, magic?
Yes. All liberal ideals are met with the pervasive use of magic. Like men being pregnant, gay couples procreating naturally, and babies are not human until they are out of the womb and can feed themselves.LMCane said:

Hey I just want to offer my services free of charge to any McDonalds or Burger King wage earners to review your non-compete agreements, I know you folks only are earning minimum wage and legal fees are about $80 an hour more than you earn.

From Not The Bee and it really sums up the entire fiasco:
https://notthebee.com/article/a-spectacle-in-speed-slurring
https://notthebee.com/article/a-spectacle-in-speed-slurring
- "Oh man he looks old and feeble.
- You already shook the speaker's hand, why are you doing it again?
- Oh geez, he's starting out by shouting.
- And he's shaking McCarthy's hand for the 3rd time. Nice gesture I suppose. A little much.
- What is he trying to say about Schumer? Everyone is leaning forward right now to try to help him through it. Not sure it's gonna help.
- Okay he just waved it off and moved on.
- Nancy's not Speaker, but she still made it on camera. She's rubbing her knuckles again. I'm scared.
- Greatest threat to democracy since the Civil War. Gosh that is such an embarrassing thing to say. I don't care about politics. That's just dumb.
- Nope. No foreign leader has ever asked Joe Biden to define America for them. No one actually believes they do. That's a terrible line.
- Hey, am I being pedantic to bristle at the line "COVID shut our country down?" COVID didn't. The government did. There's a big difference there, right?
- Oh no…speaking of COVID...Bernie mittens meme meet the Bernie mask meme.
- I should be paying attention but I am thinking about those people in Turkey and Syria right now. I hope the president mentions them and urges Americans to pray for them. I wish he would have started that way.
- Okay his yelling brought me back. I am appreciative of the closed captioning because he's part mumbling/part speed-reading this and it's hard to catch.
- "I'm building an economy where no one is left behind" seems like a really tone-deaf thing to say right now.
- This isn't a partisan thing. It's across party lines. I get really annoyed when presidents start bragging about spending a trillion dollars. How about some humility? It's not their money. It's not even ours. It's our grandkids' money.
- Why cap costs of just insulin? And why just $35? Let's cap the price of everything at $10. Laws of economics don't have to be enforced, right? Shocking that our leaders are either this dumb and irresponsible, or they are so confident that we are.
- Oh fantastic. Climate change time. Oh wait, he's calling it global warming again. And in case you're wondering, yes, it's still an "existential threat."
- And not enough people will notice this. "The inflation reduction act is also the most significant investment ever in climate change." That is a completely contradictory statement. It makes no sense. It's inexplicable.
- And here we go with the fair share talk. What is a "fair share?" Has anyone who says this line ever answered that question?
- Good news everyone we'll be off oil in a decade. Love the fact that he got laughed at and then tried to backtrack a bit. Classic.
- I've never seen a president get into a bickering match with Congressmen like this. Maybe that's a lack of decorum on the part of the Republicans. Maybe it's a lack of statesmanship on the part of the president. Maybe it's just a little more British parliament approach. Honestly, it livens things up and if this is gonna continue to be a campaign speech every year, it at least makes it entertaining. From a public speaking perspective though, he isn't controlling this room though.
- Did he just say he loves conversion? I don't think that's what he meant to say.
- Ok, I'm all for consumer activism. But I don't want the government doing that. Why are they going after airline companies for hidden fees? Or credit card companies? I don't like junk fees, but let private enterprise handle this. We don't need government to do this stuff. Ban resort fees? Concert fees? Baggage fees and seat fees for planes. Why in heaven's name is the President of the United States talking about this?
- Oh good Joe wants to take over preschools. That'll end well. He wants to give me a raise though as a public high school teacher. I'd be excited, except that isn't something the federal government does.
- I'm beginning to pick up on the fact that we've got a lot of "jobs to finish."
- Whoa an admission! "While we were shutting down everything."
- Dude, it's almost 10 pm and there are as many "to read" pages left in his three-ring binder as there are on the "have read" side.
- Acknowledging the parents of Tyre Nichols. Did he just call him Tyler? Those poor people. Please don't make this about race. Please don't make this about race.
- He made it about race.
- Why is he saying this with Tyre's parents there? The officers were black. Everyone there knows that. This is tone deaf. I feel so badly for those parents.
- Here we go with the gun stuff. But yes, give that young man Brandon Tsay the credit he deserves. That's the highlight of the night for me. Hero.
- I can't pretend to think this nation is even remotely near the vicinity of God's will when nearly half the chamber stands up to applaud the call to see more tiny babies dismembered. God forgive us.
- I just don't know how a person can pivot from calling for more death of innocent, unborn children to challenging America to prevent the death of innocent, born Ukrainians.
- Dude just said "Strinth." The word is "strength."
- Oh man he mangled that reference to the Ukrainian ambassador. "Would you stand so we can all take a look at you?" That doesn't seem like a good thing to say.
- What is he yelling about "Name me one world leader who changed places with Xi Jingping!"? What does that even mean? No one seems to understand. I don't understand. You can't convince me that Joe understands.
- What's the yelling about regarding the Fentanyl crisis? It may be about the border, but if it's not, it should be. There is a crisis, and it's not a mystery that it's pouring into this country across the porous southern border.
- Political violence is a bad thing. It is dangerous. Odd that there's no mention of the political violence directed towards pregnancy resource centers. Or the assassination plot against Justice Kavanaugh. Just January 6th and Paul Pelosi. Weird.
- Joe Biden talking about an "inflection point" again. He has been talking about it for the last 3 decades. If there are that many, and if they happen that often, they aren't really "inflection points" at all.
- All people are made in the image of God? When do they get that image, Joe? Pretty sure it was less than 5 minutes ago, you were cool with snuffing out that image if it was deemed convenient to do so. What gives?
- Oh my goodness it's over. What time is it? What year is it? I feel like I've missed so much of real life for this.
- And for the parting shot they give us a glimpse of Kamala Harris standing and smiling, looking like she's on the verge of a cackle. Guaranteed she's thinking of Venn diagrams right now."
I just read the CNN fact check article on the speech. Goebbels would be blushing.

My racist white half has to pay the fees, but my Mexican side doesn't, so does that mean I have to pay no fees (they cancel out) or just half the fees? My victim alarm is confused.
I'm going to Vegas next week and most of my room dates are comped, EXCEPT the damn resort fees. So do I demand not to pay the $35 per night, or what? Should I throw a tantrum in the lobby and scream racist? Or will they say I'm too white and have to pay double since I'm racist?
