Media Swoons Over Biden's "Fiesty," "Firey" Speech -- Before He Even Gives It

bidenhollering.jpeg

Absolute clownshow from the leftist propaganda outlets, as collected by Ed Morrissey.

The Bat-signal went out early and has come out strong, and if Biden wasn't "feisty," it was "fiery."

How do we know it was a Bat-signal? Axios trotted it out before the speech, in an exclusive initially titled "Biden's Feisty Reset" in an e-mail sent around yesterday. Axios later changed it to "Biden plans feisty economic reset." This is what tipped me off for my conversation with Adam, and the results didn't disappoint, so to speak:

Axios after the speech: "President Biden eased Democrats' concerns about his age with a feisty and commanding State of the Union address Thursday night."

NY Times: In-Your-Face Biden Takes on Trump and His Own Doubters

NYT's lead: "This was not Old Man Joe. This was Forceful Joe. This was Angry Joe. This was Loud Joe. This was Game-On Joe."

WaPo front page: Fiery Biden takes on GOP, makes case for second term

WaPo story headline: Biden delivers State of the Union with fiery political tone

WaPo story lead: "President Biden delivered a fiery State of the Union address Thursday night..."

WaPo video headline (I kid you not): "Biden's feistiest State of the Union exchanges" (WaPo really commits to the bit!)

Punchbowl: A feisty Biden blasts GOP foes

Also Punchbowl: "If you are a casual political observer, you tuned into the State of the Union Thursday night and saw a feisty President Joe Biden..." It's a twofer!

Reuters: Biden takes on Trump and Republicans in fiery State of the Union speech

Semafor: "President Biden delivered a fiery stemwinder against Donald Trump in a State of the Union speech that served as a general election preview."

Associated Press: Biden uses feisty State of the Union to contrast with Trump, sell voters on a second term


Worth noting: A look at the URL shows that the AP initially used "fiery" in its headline and replaced it with "feisty" at some point.

More at the link.

I mentioned this last night, but I'll repeat it, as this is going to be my position throughout the whole election:

In most elections, we want the absolutely worst news/worst performance for the opponent.

But here, we do not want the absolutely worst news or worst performance for Joe Biden. Because as his performance falls to the worst possible levels, the odds that he is forced out of the race and replaced by someone new increases to nearly 100%.

I want Biden to do badly -- but not so badly that the whole corrupt Democrat Party decides that it's time to put Pop-Pop in a home.

So I'm not angry at the media boosting Biden. They're actually my allies in this. We need Biden boosted just enough that he remains, in the eyes of the media that actually controls the Democrat Party, nearly, arguably, viable.

I'm -- we're -- in the weird position of having to root for Biden here and there. We can't let this rapist fall below 30% approval.

So I don't fear the temporary 4-7% job approval bump the media will engineer for Biden. I'm counting on it.

Katie Britt gave her own feisty, fiery rebuttal, stating that the American dream has become a nightmare under President Oops I Crapped My Pants.

The left is savaging her, focusing their hatred on the fact that she's Christian, that she's in a kitchen, that she's giving "Lifetime Movie Vibes."

See the replies here for evidence of this.

These people absolutely hate anyone who's normal and decent, but they demand from normal and decent people constant validation and affirmation of their perversions and pathologies.

Fuck them. Respect and tolerance either go both ways or neither way.

Here's something that will cause a meltdown: Every Christian conservative should announce that his pronouns are "Christ is Lord/Christ Is King," and demand that everyone repeat them.

If that's too sacrilegious, how about "Gender Is Real/There Are Two Sexes"?

That's the rule, right? We're all allowed to pick our own pronouns and compel people to repeat them? And that it doesn't matter if these compelled pronouns violate our deeply held beliefs or not, right?

Right?

I wonder if a last minute change out where a multitude of states have ballot laws on when they can't be changed. Would the SC reverse all those state laws and allow Democrats to put whatever name they want on there? I'd say that's a coin flip also. I know the NJ allowed Toricelli to do this, even though state law was black and white on the issue. Courts tend to really bow down to voter choice.

The Soros DA in Portland, who regularly refuses to prosecute cases of felony assault, found someone he thought was worth prosecuting.

An off-duty female bartender was having a drink in her bar, and a regular claimed that a tranny had cut into the line for the woman's bathroom (single toilet and sink, lockable door).

She confronted the tranny, said that men shouldn't use the women's bathroom, words were exchanged, and the bartender shoved the tranny (the tranny was much bigger than the bartender, of course).

A court conducted a two-day trial, and a Portland jury found the bartender guilty of a "hate crime", and she was sentenced to two years of probation, and 50 hours of community service with a LGBT organization.

Stay out of blue cities.

But "feisty"? That's what they chose? Do these clowns have any idea how most people use the term? It's a derogative term. It's used to describe small or weak people or things that are trying to overcompensate by acting like a toxic bitch.

If you're a crazy pronoun person and your pronouns aren't on the list, you can petition to get an addition to the list. Instant approval. If you ask for your Christ Is King pronouns, instant rejection.

People won't watch the speech but won't be moved much by the clips anymore. Basically, in the fourth year of a presidency, the expectations of the electorate are locked in and persuadable voters dwindle. In 2020, Biden was an unknown and Trump was a known. In 2024, both are known quantities. This is shaping up more as a Grover Cleveland revenge tour election than a standard one.

I believe sis - not attired in white - controlled the teleprompter as she sat in front to provide comfort to him and other speech related signals.

I doubt wearing white by many progressive women was so much about solidarity but rather as not to distract him from teleprompters - both mechanical and live.

Dementia patients - from what I remember from some of my family members - can often read aloud well but, as stages & time pass, have by far less comprehension about and memory of reading material.

It'll be largely nothing but theatrics from here on out. He looks to have little independence left, and he'll need his family more than ever to keep him in position.

Keep in mind, like most in our nation holding great power, they'll (immediate family unit) operate as one. In their case, almost always, they've resided together including in/at the White House.

268 I actually don't understand why the left loves the president going Batshit crazy.

I am not comparing Biden to Hitler but think of all the speeches where Old Adolf was a spit spewing maniac. For some people, when they're scared, or nervous, or angry about things over which they have no control, they want to see their leadership showing anger. Even if it's over only tangentially related issues. Even if it's counter-productive.

It's an appeal to emotion. Base emotions are the easiest to appeal to. Emotional people are easier to control and easier to keep ahold of.

You were not the target. One of the things that technology and datamining allow us to do is to microtarget voters. The GOP largely ignored it in the past but the Dems thrive on it.

As for Katie Britt? watching her wind up slowly was discouraging until she threw out the meat and it was a good thing to see. She went to back mild Miss nice only to set up and come back again with more venom.

I had no idea who she was but I thought she hit some pretty good points ultimately.

I think it's more than that. The voting public overwhelmingly wants younger leadership in our government. A lot of the new party members are younger and want the same. Even Trump has acknowledged that fact. Republicans have an early advantage in that arena. There are a lot of up and coming younger reps and senators. This was also one way to showcase the diversity of the Republican Party. Both in demographics and on issues.

We give you Katie Britt who tried to deliver a speech being nervous in a manner that doesn’t open the door for being branded and dismissed as hysterical, rednecky, or on the other end of the spectrum, elitist. Was it perfect? No. It was really over rehearsed. The attempt was made that we aren’t all white men (because this trope is used a a pejorative on the left), that conservative women aren't all crazy, that we actually look exactly like those soccer moms on the left. She hit that target, over rehearsed or not.

362 The word "feist" is described in Webster's Third New International Dictionary as from the obsolete word "fysting", meaning "breaking wind, in such expressions as fysting dog or fysting hound". Feist is defined as "1. chiefly dial: a small dog of uncertain ancestry..."
"Mutt"
They are identified more by the way they hunt and their size than by their appearance.
In general, feists work above ground to chase small prey, especially squirrels. Most feists have an extreme drive to chase rabbits, along with squirrels and other rodents.
"Oh look...a SQUIRREL!"
When hunting, feists, unlike hounds, are mostly silent on track until they tree a squirrel. They locate squirrels using their eyes, ears, and nose, then tree them barking loudly and circling the tree. When they have treed a squirrel, they chase the squirrel until it leaves their sight. Leashing these dogs in the presence of squirrels is advisable. Although they put up a furious chase, feists rarely catch squirrels; they typically expect their owners to shoot them.

The one last night was moreso, and the opening campaign speech by Joe Meat Puppet for re-election. And yes, he has put the power brokers in the Democrat party in a bad position, because a lot of them want him gone, and that speech fired up the Leftist hater base.

Posted by: whig at March 08, 2024 12:23 PM (hKOIV)
My 2 cents - there are basically 3 time periods between election day (lol) in Nov and Inauguration day on Jan 20th
1 – Nov 5th – mid Dec (EC meets, don’t remember the exact date Dec 15th I think)
2 – mid Dec – Jan 6th (congress certifies the EC results)
3 – Jan 6th – Jan 20th (culminates with the Inauguration)

I think, but am not positive, if Joetato (kudos to whomever coined that one) were to become incapable of assuming office post November 5th
Period 1 – Electors vote based on the party’s selected replacement (optimal DNC)
Period 2 – Kind of a gray area, VP (kamal-ho) if House feels that it is the voters intent but ultimately could result in the House selecting the President, Senate VP (problematic depending on who retains the majority)
Period 3 – follows the line of succession as specified in the Constitution (epic disaster i.e. pres camel-ho)

Prediction =
1 – the demoncraps run joetato through Nov 5th
2 – totally honest and above board election and the steal comes through again (this is the key)
3 – some incapacitating act occurs, either natural or not during period 1

387 As I posted above, AWFLs are the 2nd most reliable group of voters for the Democrats. If she can move the needle a few points with them by hitting on the cartel gang rapes and Biden's 91 executive actions that allowed the cartels to take over the border, that strikes directly at the Democrat base. It could work, and it doesn't matter if the people who were already going to vote for Trump anyway weren't impressed.

True, that is also the demographic that the GOP has a huge disadvantage with--college educated women which perceive the GOP as too mean.

I honestly think this was a trial ballon to see if Katie Britt could be VP material. Just as Trump used Pence to go after evangelicals, Trump has those voters by now and can go after college educated women in 2024.

Then he said this:

A straight-up cliff, 125 feet to a German pillbox. And he went right at the Germans, right at the Germans. Fifty percent casualty rate. Why did they do it? They did it because we were Americans, and we were there to save Europe from Hitler.

And now all of these years later, we have to get together as a country and save the country from the threat that Donald Trump proposes.

Just a few months ago, Joe Scarborough fired off his own “Assassinate Trump” dog whistle by spreading an absurd conspiracy theory that Trump “will imprison, he will execute whoever he’s allowed to imprison, execute, uh uh uh drive from the country. Just look at his past. It’s not really hard to read.”

That means you have to listen to ignoramuses blathering at you, smile at your oily nasty donors trying to wheedle some legislation or favor out of you, others assuming that they can order you around, and sociopathic/psychopathic staffers lured to DC by a promise of money and power.
