State of the Union address

The real president gave his speech last year in early 2020 before the Wuhan Virus admittedly caused a worldwide stir. But if Xiden puts on 3 masks and others in the House of Rep chambers do the same thing, they can all do a group orgy on live TV and wow and excite their liberal admirers.

OT, but not really, I think.

WHY is the U.S. flag on the White House almost all the way DOWN??

Look for yourself. It is 2:30 pm, Feb. 23

It will be pre-recorded and overly produced. He isn't capable of giving a State of the Union

Yes, but traditionally a newly elected President publicly addresses a joint session of Congress around the same time as the formal State of the Union Address by President 1+ years in.

Essentially, there is a huge production each and every year by the President before the American People and Congress, in the Capital regardless of what it’s officially named.

George Washington, First Annual Address to Congress

January 08, 1790

Fellow-Citizens of the Senate and House of Representatives:

I embrace with great satisfaction the opportunity which now presents itself of congratulating you on the present favorable prospects of our public affairs. The recent accession of the important state of North Carolina to the Constitution of the United States (of which official information has been received), the rising credit and respectability of our country, the general and increasing good will toward the government of the Union, and the concord, peace, and plenty with which we are blessed are circumstances auspicious in an eminent degree to our national prosperity.

In resuming your consultations for the general good you can not but derive encouragement from the reflection that the measures of the last session have been as satisfactory to your constituents as the novelty and difficulty of the work allowed you to hope. Still further to realize their expectations and to secure the blessings which a gracious Providence has placed within our reach will in the course of the present important session call for the cool and deliberate exertion of your patriotism, firmness, and wisdom.

Among the many interesting objects which will engage your attention that of providing for the common defense will merit particular regard. To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.

A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies.

The proper establishment of the troops which may be deemed indispensable will be entitled to mature consideration. In the arrangements which may be made respecting it it will be of importance to conciliate the comfortable support of the officers and soldiers with a due regard to economy.

There was reason to hope that the pacific measures adopted with regard to certain hostile tribes of Indians would have relieved the inhabitants of our southern and western frontiers from their depredations, but you will perceive from the information contained in the papers which I shall direct to be laid before you (comprehending a communication from the Commonwealth of Virginia) that we ought to be prepared to afford protection to those parts of the Union, and, if necessary, to punish aggressors.

The interests of the United States require that our intercourse with other nations should be facilitated by such provisions as will enable me to fulfill my duty in that respect in the manner which circumstances may render most conducive to the public good, and to this end that the compensation to be made to the persons who may be employed should, according to the nature of their appointments, be defined by law, and a competent fund designated for defraying the expenses incident to the conduct of foreign affairs.

Various considerations also render it expedient that the terms on which foreigners may be admitted to the rights of citizens should be speedily ascertained by a uniform rule of naturalization.

Uniformity in the currency, weights, and measures of the United States is an object of great importance, and will, I am persuaded, be duly attended to.

The advancement of agriculture, commerce, and manufactures by all proper means will not, I trust, need recommendation; but I can not forbear intimating to you the expediency of giving effectual encouragement as well to the introduction of new and useful inventions from abroad as to the exertions of skill and genius in producing them at home, and of facilitating the intercourse between the distant parts of our country by a due attention to the post-office and post-roads.

Nor am I less persuaded that you will agree with me in opinion that there is nothing which can better deserve your patronage than the promotion of science and literature. Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness. In one in which the measures of government receive their impressions so immediately from the sense of the community as in ours it is proportionably essential.

To the security of a free constitution it contributes in various ways - by convincing those who are intrusted with the public administration that every valuable end of government is best answered by the enlightened confidence of the people, and by teaching the people themselves to know and to value their own rights; to discern and provide against invasions of them; to distinguish between oppression and the necessary exercise of lawful authority; between burthens proceeding from a disregard to their convenience and those resulting from the inevitable exigencies of society; to discriminate the spirit of liberty from that of licentiousness - cherishing the first, avoiding the last - and uniting a speedy but temperate vigilance against encroachments, with an inviolable respect to the laws.

Whether this desirable object will be best promoted by affording aids to seminaries of learning already established, by the institution of a national university, or by any other expedients will be well worthy of a place in the deliberations of the legislature.

Gentlemen of the House of Representatives:

I saw with peculiar pleasure at the close of the last session the resolution entered into by you expressive of your opinion that an adequate provision for the support of the public credit is a matter of high importance to the national honor and prosperity. In this sentiment I entirely concur; and to a perfect confidence in your best endeavors to devise such a provision as will be truly with the end I add an equal reliance on the cheerful cooperation of the other branch of the legislature.

It would be superfluous to specify inducements to a measure in which the character and interests of the United States are so obviously so deeply concerned, and which has received so explicit a sanction from your declaration.

Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives:

I have directed the proper officers to lay before you, respectively, such papers and estimates as regard the affairs particularly recommended to your consideration, and necessary to convey to you that information of the state of the Union which it is my duty to afford.

The welfare of our country is the great object to which our cares and efforts ought to be directed, and I shall derive great satisfaction from a cooperation with you in the pleasing though arduous task of insuring to our fellow citizens the blessings which they have a right to expect from a free, efficient, and equal government.

Isnt that mandated in the Constitution?

Trump didn't do a State of the Union in 2017. Presidents don't in their first year. They usually address a joint session of congress, but that's about all.

Besides, PedoJoe realized, after all the Mario Cart chatter he got, that the best way to meet kids these days (he said he liked them better than "people", whatever that means) is to start a Twitch channel.

He's busy with that. Back the F off, haters.

He got too tired after the second paragraph and needed a nappy

Well, he's sure fucking up things pretty good for a non-president..

you are a shill or a retard - it has literally been said on here and everywhere else, THOUSANDS of times, that there is no SOTU in an inauguration year...

Yet every day, all across the internet forums and comment sections, there are shill jackass posts about Biden not giving a SOTU speech.

These are LIBERAL TWATS doing the posting of this shit, but to what end, what is the reason? They KNOW people are going to "correct" them, yet they do it multiple times a day all over twitter, all over internet forums.

Why would these liberal douches keep up with this "No Biden SOTU" crap?

i hope your joking. as a former fat. giving up sugar is nothing but good for you. but much like quiting smoking is hard. they will be bitchy for a bit.

It’s because he is a usurper and not really a US President

DJ Trump last president

Plus many of trump's speeches at rallies and other impromptu times were unscripted or he went off script.

It's part of why we like him so much. He talks like an actual person, answers questions like an actual person. Politicians all speak in the same rehearsed fashion. There is little or no substance to their words, they say lies and half truths constantly, dodge questions they can't answer, and generally just landed to whatever group they are talking to.

We've all seen and heard it our whole lives.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the state of the union isn’t strong...

BINGO! Going to use the Covid Excuse to video a practiced and edited speech.

By next year Kamala will be giving it. They just have to figure out the right plan and time.

How predictable this is all getting.

fuck you biden was lickers.

Maybe Dr Jill will give the address...

Actually, I believe the record shows that President Trump gave his first SOTU speech on February 28, 2017. He was elected in November 2016.

Am I missing something here?

Regardless, SARS-CoV-2 has upended a lot of customs, traditions and routines for the past 12 months, so Xiden and his supporters can point to that as why no SOTU is scheduled around this time of the year.

Poser and Chief declared Covid deaths a national mourning and decreed all flags at half staff.

Wayfair has his Adrenochrome shipment on backorder.

Also they should actually of been elected

But a president ALWAYS addresses the nation formally in February. It's not called "State of the Union," but it's a formal address.

I think this Xiden thing is awful BUT after the election Trump gave his Feb 28. And it's not actually a state of the union but an address to congress in the first year.

This

If and when he finally does one, it'll be pre-recorded and so heavily edited it'll bear no resemblance to the gibberish he'll spew.

Maybe they'll try to one-up Swalwell and will add a "Live" banner to the tape.

If he does give a SOTU it will only be 10 minutes long to limit his chances of blabbering.

The incoherent old fool can't talk for that long.

Nothing makes sense. It is mandatory for the supreme court to hear legal issues between the states otherwise there is no platform for resolving disputes between the states short of gunfire.

There are many cases the SCROTUS can decline to hear. But disputes (legal disputes) between the states is not one of them.

Not sure what "record" you're looking at.

It was NOT a SOTU.
