I prefer linking to inlining - it's more reliable and causes less clutter.

That's not what I asked you.

He condemned half of America as enemies of the state

Way to lead with a lie. Going downhill from there is quite a feat.
Claiming that right wing extremist MAGAts comprise half of America is laughable.
Perhaps you didn’t know;
They are about 40% (and dropping) of the 28% (and dropping) who are Republicans. No more than 9-12% of Americans.
That they are an outsized threat is the point.

That ALL Republicans shit their pants when some of them (including their latest orange embarrassment) are called out, is an amazing extreme of hypocrisy, given the garbage coming out of that orange orifice. The fucker has attacked every law enforcement agency, intel agency, oversight mechanism and court, along with all Democrats, plus those Republicans who tell the truth about him.

Ben Shapiro on Twitter: "In his speech, @JoeBiden is cynically raising the political temperature by labeling half of Americans enemies of the republic. Biden has to know that raising the temperature also raises the risk of violence. It’s incredibly dangerous. (vid link)" / Twitter
then
James Surowiecki on Twitter: "Ben Shapiro called Obama's 2010 State of the Union speech "philosophically fascist," and said he "embodies all the personal characteristics of the fascist leader" and views democracy as a "filthy process."" / Twitter

I decided to fact-check JS's tweet, and here is what I found. Back in 2010, BS wrote this article for townhall.com - Obama's Philosophically Fascist State of the Union Address The quotes about Obama were all in the original and they fit into their context.

"Biden has to know that raising the temperature also raises the risk of violence"

I don't want to hit you, but if you keep making me mad, I really won't have a choice.

Why is it that so many of Trump's supporters sound exactly like the perpetrators of domestic violence?

Biden through down the gauntlet, explicitly.

Considering Trump's long history of blatant slander and personal attack I don't see where the republicans have any reason for posturing and faux hurt.

All speeches by presidents are political. Biden is a hardened experienced politician. Despite his from the hip gaffes I doubt he says nothing formally he has not thought out and passed around.

The pundits' analysis ran through a range of views. The mid terms and presidentil elections are shaping up as Trump a threat to democracy vs inflation, immigration, and crime.

The republicans aka Trump lap dogs criticizing the speech as political is laughable.

Personally I think Biden was right on the mark. Trump represents an existential threat to our system. I don't think it will get him reelected.

I want the southern border closed. The democrats are doing nothing. I want to her Biden get tough on the border.

I want the southern border closed.

I don't think that's constitutionally possible.

No matter how much you dislike Oregonians, the people of Portland have the absolute right to work, and even settle, in Seattle.

I grew up in Salem,Portland is bad enough but Seattle sucks!

He condemned half of America as enemies of the state because they chose not to vote for him or his party. I can't recall, ever, a president using a primetime address to be so brazingly hateful and partisan.

Just to beat the proverbial dead horse on how wrong you are:

Donald Trump calls Joe Biden an 'enemy of the state' after Philadelphia speech

The former president slams Joe Biden for the FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago residence and describes his successor's comments last week as the "most vicious, hateful and divisive speech ever delivered by an American president".

www.abc.net.au

Donald Trump has branded Joe Biden an "enemy of the state" as he hit back at the US president's assertion that the former leader and his supporters are undermining American democracy.

"He's an enemy of the state. You want to know the truth. The enemy of the state is him," Mr Trump said.

Do you see me being outraged, clutching pearls and proclaim, "well I never"? Do you want to know why not? Because the cunt has being spewing this sort of crap on prime time for fucking years. But the one time someone accurately calls out MAGA twats for what they are and it's the end of the fucking world.

Fucking hell what a bunch of soft cocks Q-tards are. Willing to dish it out, too scared shitless to take it. The sad thing is if they took 1% of the time they are outraged and place it into some self reflection, they'd be better off.

I actually enjoyed the speech, in an ironic sort of way.

They're no longer pretending.

 

[AdamWho]

Are people still claiming that 74,216,154 people are "half of the US"? Because it looks like 23% to me.

Of the 74M Trump voters, how many do you actually think are MAGA extremists? 80%? 50%? 30%?

No matter what, it is less than 1/4 of the population.

This has to be the most incoherent piece of bullshit you have ever typed. Take a bow. "They're no longer pretending"? Well done Glenn Beck.

No clarification on who "they" are, what "they" were "pretending" previously and why this is "ironic". And yet you get upset when people misconstrue what you...spew? Spam? Shit out all over the keyboard? I'd ask you to clarify, but we all know where there that shitstorm ends up.

 

[Jason Harvestdancer]

I think I touched a nerve.

I actually have no problem with the content of this speech and if you do not actually look at the speech it is fine with me. Lets all get together and put the last election behind us. But when you actually watch the video...... WTF was going on with the lighting and the red colors?!!! There is obvious symbolism with dark lighting and red colors and would seem at first glance just to be a very poor choice. But politicians are generally more careful not to notice such imagery, causing me to wonder what Biden was actually attempting to convey. Is he actually trying to calm the country down or instead stir things up more? Why is he trying to look like master darth sidious attempting a 1 party rule??

Honestly I don't get this at all. Perhaps some of you pro Biden supporters can help me out.

 

[Patooka]

So you don't really have a point to make then. Good to know. I really should have figured that out about you sooner.

 

[TV and credit cards]

Looks fine to me.
