Communication @ UIC Zizi Papacharissi @[email protected] #resist

Regardless of what happens in November in the US, yesterday's sotu (nicknamed stfu), was a cathartic experience for many.

There were things that needed to be said out loud, to us in the US, and to the world, so that we do not lose sight of who we are. And they were so uttered.

As President Biden references what was in the bipartisan border deal, Sen. Lankford mouths, 'That's true.'

Only one candidate understands that we must address the threat of climate change; that women have a right to control their own bodies; and that our economy must work for working people and not just billionaires.

That candidate is Joe Biden.

'Just pay your fair share in taxes.

A fair tax code is how we invest in the things that make a country great.'

#SOTU

Ok now that the speech is over can we go back once more and recognize how funny Biden’s reaction is here?

“Everyone’s f--king losing it,” a GOP strategist told The Daily Beast, requesting anonymity to discuss private conversations. “It’s one of our biggest disasters ever.”

“You can’t love your country only when you win.” And Republicans are all sitting on their hands, as if that was a terrible thing to say.

Usually the speaker of the House introduces the president by saying: 'Members of Congress, I have the high privilege and the distinct honor of presenting to you the president of the United States.'

Doesn't happen always. but usually.

Speaker Mike Johnson didnt do that tonight.
