When President Biden Gives His SOTU Address in a Few Weeks It Should Focus on One Major Them: Keeping America Safe.
And whether the GOP wants to accuse him of campaigning or not, the President should bring up Donald Trump's remarks about how Trump would not only do nothing to stop Russia from attacking a NATO ally, but that he would ENCOURAGE Russia to do so.
If the GOP members in the chamber want to boo that, let them!
Before the speech, the Senate should take up and pass a resolution rebuking Trump's remarks and reminding everyone that it is American LAW to come to the aid of a NATO ally if Article 5 is invoked by an ally, just as our NATO allies did for us after September 11, 2001. We our CONSTITUTIONALLY bound by the Treaty we signed.
And, since I am absolutely sure that those of you who are Trumpets need a stern reminding, here is the "law" I am talking about. It's called the Constitution of the United States of America:
Article. VI.
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
And here are the parts of the NATO Charter that we signed that are relevant:
Article 5
The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.
Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security .
Article 6
For the purpose of Article 5, an armed attack on one or more of the Parties is deemed to include an armed attack:
on the territory of any of the Parties in Europe or North America, on the Algerian Departments of France, on the territory of Turkey or on the Islands under the jurisdiction of any of the Parties in the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer; on the forces, vessels, or aircraft of any of the Parties, when in or over these territories or any other area in Europe in which occupation forces of any of the Parties were stationed on the date when the Treaty entered into force or the Mediterranean Sea or the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer.
Let Republicans vote against such a resolution reaffirming our commitment to NATO. Let the House Republican leadership fail to take it up.
It's time for Democrats to take the gloves off.

and the republicans should continue to hammer him on the southern border and inflation.

@boudinMan Right. The Southern border, open because Republicans put the kibosh on a bipartisan bill that gave would’ve kept them much more strictly regulated, and inflation, clearly f*king up the economy, as evidence by low unemployment rates, Jon gains every month, and a thriving stock market. Sure, that’s a real winner!
@SW-User lol... keep drinking the kool-aid. the dims denied for three years that there was a problem with the border. all of a sudden, (in an election year) it's trump and the republican's fault. your gullibility is truly amazing.
SW-User
@boudinMan Sounds more,like you’re drinking from a massive well of Flavor-Aid (the stuff Jim Jones actually poisoned his cult with). Keep thinking that the Democrats own this issue when the Reich-Wing shot it down, directly on the orders of tRump, then admitted it openly. Your gullibility is boundless. 🤣
@SW-User the fact of the matter is that no additional laws need to be passed. he has all the authority he needs. it's simply a matter of enforcement. biden just wants to process more illegals, that's it. they (the dims) have no intention of stemming the flow of illegals, and that's a fact. bottoms up, to whatever poison you're drinking.
SW-User
@boudinMan You’re forgetting that I don’t spend endless hours having whatever knee-jerk, outraged reaction MAGA-World is having toward whatever baseless accusation, conspiracy theory, or wholesale distortion of actual facts that the Reich-Wing is supposed to be explosively rageful about on any given day regurgitated for me by the ministers of propaganda at Fox, Newsmax, or OAN, and until I see sourced reporting from an objective organization such as the Associated Press confirming your bluster masquerading as any sort of level of actual expertise I’ll,stick to my caffeine-free Pepsi, and allow you to continually swill the toxic sludge you’re,spewing.
@SW-User your words don't impress me... dims just love to try to complicate things with a bunch of mumbo jumbo, as you just did. biden rescinded the stay in mexico policy on day one. the result? illegal border crossings are at an all time high... that's just a fact. dims are not and never were serious about slowing the flow of illegals. they're just using it (and you) as an election year gimmick. congrats, you took the bait, hook, line and sinker.
SW-User
@boudinMan Your words don’t impress me, either, and are worse than mumbo-jumbo. The facts are that you Reich-Wingers were given a deal that had bipartisan support in the Senate, and was killed on the orders of Velveeta Voldemort so he could have an issue that’ll be DOA for the Reich-Wing at the polls specifically because they rejected it.Congratualtions. You we’re just caught in the mile-long trawling net hooked behind a supertanker.
And since I know you won’t bother clicking on the link, as it doesn’t support your heavily distorted facts, baseless accusations, or wholesale fabrications , here’s the relevant part of the article handily screenshotted, so that even a MAGA-Mind like yourself can dimly comprehend it:
[image/video deleted]
ETA: Keep on swallowing the Reich-Wing swill that conservaturds won’t be owning this come election time, along with your utter lack of ability to govern because the House leadership is too busy engaging in performative shenanigans. 🤣
@SW-User right, and the economy is doing great too, right? i mean, the middle class is doing just fine, huh? please... go with that. LOL
SW-User
@boudinMan Sooo much better than under Trump, who cratered it. I’m a member of the middle class, and have gotten several raises since 2021, so I’m afraid that you’ll, have to peddle that Faux News talking point so where else.
By the time his presidency was over, Trump could confidently look back and say:
And the Apricot Antichrist is on record as saying he wants the US economy to crash.
But go right on ahead and think that won’t also be used in attack ads against Agent Orange Julius Caesar. Biden’s re-election campaign can just cut and paste headlines!
@SW-User i'm glad to see that your ability to deal with economic realities is just as limited as your ability to understand the border crisis (wait, there never was a crisis until a couple of weeks ago, right? lol). it's obvious that the left couldn't care less about the actual suffering people are experiencing now. just because you got raises at your job, doesn't mean everyone else did, toots. people are struggling in biden's economy and you love it. woohoo! run on that, you own it.
ROTFLMFAO! A Conservaturd lecturing a democrat on that! Cruelty is a feature with you and your Reich-Wing ilk, not a bug. The governor of Iowa left $29,000,000 from the federal government for at-risk, underprivileged kids to receive school lunches this summer and she left it on the table.
Here’s the RepubliKKKan’s attitude toward suffering in the US in a nutshell:
@SW-User oh, don't forget... the KKK was started by democrats. suck on that.
SW-User
@boudinMan Surefire bet with a Conservaturd-“Republicans freed slaves and Dems are part of KKK”.
Let’s unpack that for a moment, to see why you should be the one sucking it, and I’ll do it with pictures, so as not to take you out of your intellectual comfort zone:
Not to mention that the Right Wing in America has morphed into the Reich-Wing:
(He’s one of the insurrectionists, funny how that changed parties as well)
How ‘bout that March at Charlottesville?
Where the night before, MAGA was literally throwing the Nazi salute
Here’s the insurrection again, with another Reich-Wingeer wearing the Sox Million Wasn’t Enough” shirt, mocking the Jewish Holocaust :
Not to mention how the party that freed the slaves and fought the KkK reacted toward a black man in the presidency:
@SW-User i don’t read meaningless memes, toots. you know what i’m saying is true, that’s why you’re posting silly pics.
SW-User
@boudinMan You know, I understand. You’re a Bro-flake who wants to deny the depth of the truly massive abyss the party to which you belong has fallen into because it was taken over by the Reich-Wing, and those “silly pictures” -the last few taking place at a violent insurrection designed to subvert the democratic process enshrined within the constitution guaranteeing that the electoral victor of the presidential race will become the next seated president , and the others at orgies of white nationalist bad faith and behavior. Thanks for playing; the grown-ups are talking now. (Pats head) Run along!
with all your babbling about the party i belong to, you fail to realize that your party can’t even say what a woman is, doesn’t care that there are people struggling in this economy and welcomes and encourages people, including murderers, rapists, and probably terrorists to enter our country illegally. not to mention its fascist tactics of colluding with big tech companies to censor important information that the public should be aware of, as well as to interfere in elections.
thanks for showing your ignorance. (opens door for you to leave, lets it hit you in the ass on your way out.)
So you spewed a massive tornado of baseless accusations, heavily distorted facts, and wholesale fabrications, but all I heard was this:
I just chalk it up to this:
After all, this is a RepubliKKKan’s modus operandi:
But, hey, good luck with riding that performative outrage to winning the presidency, or the competitive seats for the House of Representatives in purple districts given the list of legislation you passed that benefitted the average American.
As a matter of fact, here it is:
“An Exhaustive Summary Of All The Legilsation Passed By The RepubliKKKan Controlled House of Representatives That Benefitted The Average American:
I’m not the one who’’s bigly mad, judging by all of the name calling and explosive tantruming you’re doing because I’m dog walking you up and down the reply chain. But, hey, nice attempt at deflection and projection! We all know it’s part of the Reich-Wing playbook:
Never mind that the baseless accusations, whataboutisms, and wholesale fabrications you were spewing when every single point you made was countered could easily be translated into the explosive stuttering of someone who’s on the losing side of the argument displays, right before the purple vein on the side of their forehead pops up and little wisps of steam come out of their ears. This might make a better profile pic for you:
