  1. Newt is part of the plot!

  2. Yes, we have to focus on the Florida Governor race!

  3. Donald will not fade away!
    He's going to be put away!

  4. Both! Good Party speech and Presidential Speech! This is how he feels, and who better to call them out! There are so few good Republicans that I think even they would agree and know they were not the focus.
    What's the Point? Point out the biggest problem! well, sir, he did in this Speech! Extreme Right is our biggest Problem!!

  5. Republicans are enemies of the People! They are Capitalist when the people want socialism and Climate Change.
    Democrats support all people and their needs.

  6. You know who could have pulled this speech off, seriously, Marianne Williamson.I

  7. Uh, I thought, with all due respect, Little Richard was dead….

  8. Why does every generation think that folks are square
    and no matter where their head's at they know Mom's ain't there 😎

    the wisdom of john sebastian, lovin spoonful

  9. marijuana does not belong with fentanyl and heroin as a schedule 1 drug. Decriminalizing it is an obvious win for Biden without spending a cent. Actually, it would free up the legal system and save money. Probably should do it before the Republicans take it on.

  10. Regarding Classified Material: We just have to hope and pray that no technology company ever invents a device that can make a copy of a piece of paper! 💀 – j q t –

  11. If you replace "MAGA" with "Jews" Bidens speech is worse than Hitler. I thought he was going to unite America.

  12. The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern. Every class is unfit to govern.”
    —Lord Acton

    “The Spirit that prevails among Men of all degrees, all ages and sexes is the Spirit of Liberty.”
    —Abigail Adams, 1775

    “A government of laws, and not of men.”
    —John Adams

    “Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right … and a desire to know.”
    —John Adams, 1765

    “Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”
    —John Adams

    “I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.”
    —John Adams

  13. Biden actually has one of the most complex security and social problems any US president has had. That being said, I hear him. I will speak up and speak out. But, I will not vote in any form of US election until all insurrectionists are held accountable. An indictment is a form of accountability kind of sort of. Just the linear course of action I have deduced is the reasonable thing to do. Good luck, Sir. You need it.

  14. A speech of emotion laced rhetoric with no substance. As usual. How many times will the American public fall for it? Not a single word on what is of real consequence to the people: jobs, real healthcare, infrastructure, inflation, baby formula, clean water, … … …

  15. Golly! Trees are important? What a surprise!

  16. Lindsey Graham kinda acts like what dogs do when they meet. Any way the wind blows.

  17. I haven't heard a speech like that since September 11. then it was foreign extremists who hated our freedom. now it's fellow Americans who hate our democracy

  18. X45 is the aberration.

  19. Let’s discuss Civil War and Inflation. Spoiler alert: prices rose 9000% in the South after succeeding from the North.

  20. Misinformation regarding vaccines does not include the truth about vaccines. We are still waiting for the truth about the new vaccines for coronavirus covid-19 Polio pandemic.

  21. Why is a criminal being aired? Trump thinks he’s above the law and we just let him think that.

  22. So clear it up… this is opinion. I would like this cleared up. Thank you

  23. About your 3.5 trillion dollar pork barrel budget: ( how much is this per household? $36,842 !!! )
    Woodsheds:
    To Joe Biden: What I want:
    We get to keep ALL of our paycheck, and NO MORE TAXES !!!! instead, IRS agent with a military serviceman go door to door asking for cash donations. Monies pooled in a large bldg. ( pentagon?) bi-monthly or so, where 535 reps get a woodshed to hold the cash. Twice a month, all Dept heads of govt walk around to each shed begging for cash. Reps give it out according to how constituents demand. money pile is divided a third to senate, and that third further divided evenly between all 100 senators., then a third to the house divided evenly among all 435 members, and a third to the President. Voting for all these 535 reps should be done monthly by everyone’s phone- in a way where cheating can’t happen. Senate can get 36 terms, then may serve no more. House can have 24 terms, and then no more. The executive ( YOU) should be up for election once a year, and have an 8 term limit.

    I DONT LIKE THE WAY GOVERNMENT IS !!!

  24. You come across as someone that is biased, for the right. I can hear it in your words.
