Hi, Professional Cynic Here, the President just gave the best State of the Union speech I've ever heard.

Brilliant bit of unanimity as Biden forces republicans to pledge to take Social Security and Medicare cuts off the table. Absolutely perfectly handled. #sotu2023

“The soul of this nation is strong.” @POTUS ends his speech reminding Americans who we are at our core and says he is optimistic about the country and its future. Great speech by the president, it was rousing, optimistic & hopeful #sotu2023

Joe Biden has clearly taken all of the Dark Brandon memes to heart. #SOTU2023 pic.twitter.com/KOocjqwDZD

Biden is so on his game he just negotiated and won protections for Social Security and Medicare live on television. #sotu2023 #SOTU

Biden's Cancer Moonshot initiative didn't get the press and attention it deserves. The hope is to reduce the cancer death rate by half within 25 years and improve the lives of people with cancer and cancer survivors. Hits close to home. #sotu2023

That was an inspiring piece of statesmanship. Love of country over divisions. I appreciate the calls for unity even in the face of heckling. Well done, Mr. President. #SOTU2023 https://t.co/rd1Qo6wceC

I got your plans for sunsetting Medicare and Social Security right here, pal.

"With democracy, everything is possible. Without it, nothing is. Democracy must not be a partisan issue. It must be an American issue." #AmericaWinsWithBiden #sotu2023 pic.twitter.com/vuKRp3jMBi

"Any nation that out-educates us will out-compete us"
--Jill Biden. Compare with @GovRonDeSantis plunging Florida's children into states of ignorance and denial. #SOTU2023

My 16-year-old daughter just came out and slapped a mustache on the TV and I am fucking SCREAMING #StateOfTheUnionAddress #sotu2023 pic.twitter.com/GvlEabddR7

These 2 minutes made the night for Biden. That’s all he needed to do. He created a little live Reality TV moment that showed his agility and that he is fighting for the American people. #SOTU pic.twitter.com/j8LNojFILh

I’ve never heard a @POTUS reference “the talk” in a #SOTU. My son texted me from his room “I hope @JoeBiden talking about that makes us safer.” The real estate in a SOTU is prime. That he took a moment to acknowledge the fears of black parents & their children is breathtaking. pic.twitter.com/XUb1xB42QU

I don't know how much a #SOTU can matter, but this was one of Biden's best speeches. He sincerely & fiercely pitched economic populism & consumer rights and razzed the GOP, ju-jitsuing the heckling from its dead-enders. Melded a call for unity with confrontation on econ. issues. pic.twitter.com/3eZR4QTj8E

GOP Senator Mike Lee sits in disbelief that Biden claims GOP wants to cut social security & Medicare.

Here is (checks notes) Sen Mike Lee saying that's EXACTLY what GOP wants.

Tonight @POTUS showed at #SOTU why the American people elected him President by the highest popular vote total in U.S. history.

His speech was not about him, it was about you. It was about how he was working to improve the lives of the American people. Democrats Deliver. https://t.co/TE62D6Vddw
