President Joe Biden's Joint Address to Congress! SOTU 9pm ET February 7, 2023 - State Of The Union
This is tonight, immediately following the Fogbow Virtual Meetup.
Attendance is mandatory at both events unless you are doing something else or nothing at all, so clear the decks unless you don't really feel like clearing decks at this point in the process. There will be a quiz unless you don't really feel like taking a quiz.
PREVIEW
The Congress of the United States of America has been fully and finally converted into a circus.
Expect clowns. Lots of them.

WHO IS THAT PUNK FOGGY ANYWAY?
I voted "Who is that punk Foggy?" for 20,000 points, Alex.
And I briefly considered staying up and trying to keep the Virtual Meetup going during the SOTU, but here's the thing:
I have fizzikal therapy at 8 in the morning. And I have to be there, because:
And I briefly considered staying up and trying to keep the Virtual Meetup going during the SOTU, but here's the thing:
I have fizzikal therapy at 8 in the morning. And I have to be there, because:
- Last Wednesday I had to cancel with stomach issues, and I was dying of some loathsome new blood disorder, as you may recall, but I rescheduled for 8 a.m. Thursday.
. - Last Thursday I had to cancel because I have Musical Asskicking on Thursdays at 8:30 and I don't know what the hell I was thinking, scheduling fizzikal therapy for 8 the same day but I rescheduled for 8 a.m. Friday.
. - Last Friday I had to cancel because my back went out on me and I couldn't drive down there to save my life.

I always try to watch SOTU, read stuff like transcripts and the backgrounds on candidates, and of course, I vote. I kind of feel like it is my duty. But it's getting more and more difficult. And it truly has become a scary clown show.
Will Marjorie Traitor Green bring a big white balloon to the SOTU?

I like hearing about the guest choices to hear the speech. CNN is covering it, but fortunately not the R choices. FLOTUS is on it.

If she actually brings that Balloon into the chamber, I hope Biden has something ready to pop it.

I expect to see the extreme Republicans (the 2020 election deniers) being very disrespectful during the speech.

You mean Santos? Romney apparently verbally berated Santos, when Romney came into the room and saw him in an aisle seat.

Well that was very nice.
Now they are awaiting the Republican response and this thing to appear on my TV. I turned off my TV before that could happen.

Four Supreme Court justices absent from Biden's State of the Union
Justices Clarence Thomas, Sam Alito, Sonia Sotomayor and Neil Gorsuch didn't attend the address
By Thomas Catenacci | Fox News
Published February 7, 2023 9:48pm EST
Four Supreme Court justices opted against attending President Biden's State of the Union address at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday evening.
Biden greeted five of the high court's nine justices — John Roberts, Elena Kagan, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown Jackson — shortly before he began his speech, according to video footage of the event. The four justices absent were Clarence Thomas, Sam Alito, Sonia Sotomayor and Neil Gorsuch.
The president spent a brief moment, in particular, with Jackson, the newest Supreme Court Justice and the first Black woman to hold a seat on the court. Jackson is the only justice Biden selected for the Supreme Court.
"The story of America is a story of progress and resilience," Biden began his address. "Of always moving forward. Of never giving up. A story that is unique among all nations. We are the only country that has emerged from every crisis stronger than when we entered it. That is what we are doing again."

Sarah Huckabee Sanders attacks ‘left-wing culture war’ in SOTU response
Tuesday’s event is set to mark the rapid elevation for Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who was sworn into elected office for the first time just weeks ago.
By NICK NIEDZWIADEK

Republican Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is set to undercut President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address as beholden to “woke fantasies” and untethered from mainstream America.
“Most Americans simply want to live their lives in freedom and peace, but we are under attack in a left-wing culture war we didn’t start and never wanted to fight,” Sanders, who is tasked with giving the GOP response, said in prepared excerpts released before the president’s speech.
Tuesday’s event is set to mark the rapid elevation for Sanders, who was sworn into elected office for the first time just weeks ago. However, she is far from a political neophyte, as her father held the same position she now occupies from 1996-2007 and Sanders previously served as press secretary in the Trump White House. She also represents a new class of Republicans attempting to marry Trumpism with more traditional parts of GOP orthodoxy.
