#gop ​sotu rebuttal

[odinsblog]

Katie Britt, the junior Republican senator from Alabama, delivered the GOP’s rebuttal to President Joe Biden’s address on Thursday. Her impassioned, breathless speech — delivered at times in an ASMR-esque whisper from what appeared to be her kitchen — ended up feeling more like a rejected audition tape for a supporting role on “Grey’s Anatomy” than the hard-hitting political sparring favored by Biden’s Republican critics.

Into the late hours of the night, Rolling Stone was inundated, sometimes completely unprompted, with messages from longtime GOP operatives, right-leaning pollsters, conservative Capitol Hill staff, MAGA lawyers, and even some senior members of Trump’s own 2024 campaign absolutely torching Britt’s absurdly over-dramatic rebuttal.

“What the hell am I watching right now?” a Trump adviser asked, mid-Britt remarks.

“Creepy,” one of the Republican pollsters noted.

A lawyer working in the Trump orbit says the performance reminded them of public-access television, and a senior House congressional aide remarks that it was “cringe”-inducing to watch and likely destined to be turned into a “lame [Saturday Night Live] skit” this weekend.

“I’ll give Biden this — he at least gave a better speech than Katie Britt,” one national Republican consultant said bluntly.

Jon Stewart Calls BS on Trump & the GOP's Performative Patriotism | The ...

I finally watched Jon Stewart's response to the Katie Britt rebuttal to the SOTU speech. And folks were right, it was one of his best in a long time. He really did hit it out of the park.

Plus, I'm glad someone (famous) finally said it. There's nothing patriotic about their party. It's been a smoke screen for decades, but now it's even more absurd.

loooool. This speech was weird as shit. Someone in this article calls it good acting but it was literally terrible acting, it was so hammy and OTT and almost infantile? ASMR is a hilarious way to describe it.

It completely lacked any semblance of authenticity, which next to Biden's fesity ad-libbing just created a really deeply unfavorable contrast

The GOP seems deeply cursed when it comes to delivering these rebuttals. I feel like it's a career-killer. Bobby Jindal. Marco Rubio. both of these guys were touted as the rising bright young Conservative superstars, until the did the SOTU rebuttal and became jokes

I think you can add Katie Britt to the list

Loose Big vs Loose Small (cont)

Well gang with the SOTU address taking place Tuesday January 29th and approaching Fast. The DEMS have placed themselves in a VERY TOUGH SPOT!

(I would like to take this time to state I am NOT a believer in our 3 Branches of Government being rules by a One party/ Idea Philosophy. I hated a one party control of the Exec, Senate, & house under Obama 2008-2010 where one party had the Super-majority in the House of Representatives & the Senate Yes the SUPER-MAJORITY meaning a One party vote would control all 3 chambers) (Minus the Judiciary but now even that may be lost in 2019)

With the recent Buzzfeed Disaster! and all the media swallowing this story as what WILL impeach Trump! and it backfired due to over hyping a story that wasn't vetted and even needed Special Council Robert Mueller to correct the accusations as FALSE! seriously with the media way overplaying its hand there is little chance of Impeaching Trump (In the mind of public opinion unless anything goes past the US House! (sorry guys but someone has to be the adult and say AT THIS POINT you have NO CASE!) AT THIS TIME!!!! This leads into my next point THE GOVT SHUTDOWN!

The Government shutdown happened during a LAME DUCK SESSION (meaning in between and election & the swearing in of the new congress) While YES its tragic that people on disability, social security, food stamps, those the Military, & Federal workers will have their checks Delayed. However President Trump and the Legislature proceeded to pass Appropriations Bills, these bills are special funding bills that fund the Govt. without an official budget and these bills were passes in 2018 meaning 80% of the Govt were to be FULL FUNDED til August 2019. This is why the current Shutdown is a partial Shutdown (Not saying its right!!! Politicians using people as Pawns to score political points & trying to swade public opinion by holding paychecks & benefits hostage for a stronger negotiation tactic should have their Benefits & pay withheld (even though most politicians are millionaires & Billionaires YES LOOK IT UP!!! Pelosi is worth $195 Million!)

Since the Govt Shutdown elected officials (Democrats) have been seen Partying at 5 star resorts as the shutdown looms in Hawaii & Puerto Rico! (Thank you, you have just provided a highlight reel of yourselves during the Govt Shutdown and yet NONE GOP have been seen doing what your doing)   IF THERE ARE PLZ LET ME KNOW ASAP! Then there was the Air Force plane to Brussels, Belgium, Egypt, Afghanistan that was Halted per President Trump (Commander in Chief) WHILE A SHUTDOWN WAS IN EFFECT! Not only does this not look good but can be seen as another Vacation during the shutdown rather than working on a deal to re-open the government.

Now its time for the Game of Chicken to end. Here is the political Layout President Trump has offered 2 Deal packages to Democrats. The FIRST was more HARDLINED and 5.7 Billion for the wall with minimum towards DACA, Electronic Monitors, Immigration improvements, Funding support for local jurisdictions in a Southern border state. As well as additional funding for Border patrol, detainment facilities, & immigration courts. Democrats said NO! Not to the wall while yes that was an issue! Dems wants more funding for DACA, Immigration, Detention facilities, as well as other $ projects related to immigration and other measures that does NOT include a Physical Border-wall. But now Trump has gone and done a move That angered ALOT of GOPers in the 2nd package for 5.7 Billion for Border wall HE HAS LITERALLY GIVEN THE DEMS EVERYTHING!!!!! They have asked for over the past 3 years! YES EVERYTHING!!! and Speaker Pelosi has rejected the offer to Re-open the Govt! (Mind you as I am writing this next paragraph I cant help but wonder WHO THE HELL IS THEIR ADVISORS!!!! Because things are about to get REAL! and in the last 12 hours IT HAS!!!)

Senate majority Leader Mitch McConnel has stated the 2nd Package Donald Trump has offered WILL BE VOTED ON in the senate. This vote will take place before the state of the union! Now with the SOTU address next Tuesday if the Senate approves the bill (Thanks Harry Reid & Democrats who voted to change the constitution in 2013 to have the house approve a SIMPLE MAJORITY with the VP (President of the Senate) being the Tie Braking vote! Thereby making by the time the SOTU address happens its on Pelosi’s & Democrat’s controlled House Lap & their job to vote on it! This does 3 things One it gets an OFFICIAL vote tally on where the House & Senators side on the Shutdown and since its EVERYTHING DEMS wanted before BUT with $5.7 Billion for the wall its an official vote on ENDING THE SHUTDOWN! THIS IS A POLITICAL TRAP IF THERE EVER WAS ONE!!!

STATE OF THE UNION- For those who do not know how the state of the Union functions here we go... From OUR Point of View/ Legislature, House & Senate and the SCOTUS Justices POINT OF VIEW! The President is Center, President of the Senate ( Vice President) on on the President’s Left Side & The House Speaker (Pelosi) is on the President’s Right side.

The Best option for the Dems- PASS THE BILL open the GOVT before the SOTU. Thereby the Govt is open and no political ammo at the SOTU. However Trump will be gloating I”M THE BEST NEGOTIATOR EVER!!!! Blah blah blah.

The Least Worst option- The Bill passes the Senate and awaits the vote in the House! Trump will use Pelosi as a Punching bag “Nancy vote on the bill Nancy” “Do your Job Nancy” “People need their paychecks Nancy”

THE WORST CASE SCENARIO- The bill passes in the senate and before the SOTU House DEMs vote NO! Now we have an official record of who stands where. (Its the election 2020 tool including the state and local mayor elections of November 2019!) Its gonna be bad, name any WWE finishers and its Open season on the Dems, its a murder highlight reel, and it gets even worse than the bill not including the DEMs rebuttal to the SOTU which will likely include ALL 2020 Dem Presidential challengers who have already declared They are running Tulsi Gabbard, Jillian Castro, & Kristen Gillibrand....

As I said about the seating and POV of what the people will be seeing. Every bad thing the Dems dont like will be telegraphed on Pelosi’s face. It will be an Hour or more of trumps speech and Pelosi will be telegraphing the ENTIRE party’s posture the ENTIRE SPEECH! And if you watched Trumps first SOTU address Paul Ryan was House Speaker and 2 republicans were on trumps sides and Pelosi had an ill gotten look on her face. Whether or not you agree anytime the cameras panned to her she was NOT HAPPY and since the Dems had a DONT STAND or Clap approach. Rather than like the past 2 president SOTU address of pandering to their respective political sides Trump one ups the Dems. Trump starts hitting talking points LEFT-CENTER and Dems refused to stand clap, ect even though Trumps is saying EVERYTHING their support or at least say they do. One dem was clapping at one point about Historic low black unemployment and One dem quietly clapped while receiving a look of disgust from his fellow Dems. Not a good look!!! and If Pelosi is going to be watching her party with a bad look on her face She will be the Face of the Dems, Dems Party Leader in the House. Do not be surprised if Trump hits every liberal talking point and Dems refuse to clap or stand. If they want to win or survive in 2020 drop the ACT. Act like a governing party because if this is anything like what happened in the SOTU address of 2018 and the Pathetic rebuttal by Democrat Representative of Massachusetts 4th Distinct Joe Kennedy the 3rd its going to be BAD! Because Trump hit Half his shots Left Center and Dems said we don't stand with POTUS thereby saying due to the not standing or agreeing on anything including Left-Center They were only specking for 15% of the electric. And his response because a meme sensation!
