Republican Response To State Of The Union Will Just Be Replay Of The State Of The Union

From The Babylon Bee:

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Republicans have announced they’re taking an unconventional approach to this year’s traditional response to the State of the Union Address. Instead of picking a rising star in the party to deliver a carefully thought-out rebuttal of the items in Biden’s speech, they will simply show a replay of Biden’s speech—reiterating for everyone the disaster they just witnessed.

“We couldn’t think of a better response than to just replay the entire 90 minutes of Biden staring blankly into the camera, making up new words, and yelling or whispering at inappropriate times,” said Senator Mitch McConnell while tugging at a set of plastic rings that was still stuck around his neck from his last swim in the ocean. “We present our official response to Biden: Biden himself.”

To make things more interesting, Mitt Romney will give an official response to the official Republican response and Marjorie Taylor Greene will give her official response to Romney.

Biden is expected to miss all three speeches as he will be recovering from giving his speech for the next three days.

The State of the Union stats don’t lie: Americans are turning against Trump-hating celebrities and buying into the President’s American dream – THAT’S a nightmare for Democrats

It’s fun when a man who’s been constantly disparaged for his lack of political experience gives the most political speech in the world—the US State of the Union address—and knocks it out of the park. From Piers Morgan at dailymail.co.uk:

The stats don’t lie.

Within minutes of President Donald Trump‘s first State of the Union speech, CBS News revealed their YouGov poll approval ratings on it.

Unsurprisingly, 97% of Republican speech watchers liked it.

More surprisingly, 72% of Independents liked it.

Staggeringly, 43% of Democrats liked it.

Overall, CBS reported that 75% of Americans approved of the speech.

For such a seriously divisive and polarising President, who is currently languishing with just 39% personal approval ratings, these were sensationally good results.

Interestingly, 8/10 Americans in the poll felt the President was trying to unite the country with his speech and two thirds of Americans said it made them feel proud.

Less than a quarter that watched said it made them feel scared or angry.

Contrast this reaction with the instant and so tediously predictable blind rage spewed by the world’s liberal celebrities on social media before, during and after the address.

From my own unofficial poll – i.e. my own eyes on Twitter – I’d say 99% of them were so furious at the speech they could barely think straight.

‘I was told darkness could not exist in the light,’ tweeted Sarah Silverman. ‘But here it is, for everyone to not see.’

Jim Carrey tweeted an illustration of sharks across a map of America, then another of a weeping Abraham Lincoln and the caption: ‘It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to.’
