The Big Guy - tomorrow night.

He better take a nap in the afternoon.

[Jolly]

Lots of practice, high O2 therapy, Aricept bolus and teleprompter...What could go wrong?

[LuFins Dad]

How great would it be if McCarthy spent the whole speech playing

on his phone?

McCarthy

Will he tear the speech up into a million pieces?

I'd rather see him jump to his feet at the end shouting BRAVO!

Then give Mr. Biden a big hug and a pat on the back.

That would be really cool.

[Copper]

Can someone here please watch this and report back to us?

There is no good reason for all of us to watch.

I will eagerly await references to the existential risks of the right, as they lurk in the shadows, preparing to pounce the moment the left stops shaming them for their very existence. Never forget.

[George K]

Steve Scalise just gave Amy Comey Barrett a kiss.

Was that wrong?

[George K]

WHat's with all the red dresses? Is that a nod to the Grammy Award performance?

[George K]

McCarthy looks bored.

Sinema looks...Sinema.

Vance is scowling.

[LuFins Dad]

Not watching. Who is giving the rebuttal?

Huckabee-Sanders

Looks like Biden took his Aricept today, btw.

[George K]

Thank goodness...he finally whispered into the mike.

He's actually giving a pretty good speech. It's conversational, not preachy, and engaging.

Not that I agree with his stuff, but he's remarkably coherent (see "Aricept" comment above).

[George K]

Consensus among the RW Twitterati is that it's not Aricept.

It's meth.

[Copper]

He says we could need some gasoline for as much as another decade.

He is reciting his list of outrageous accusations against
and the republican crowd is yelling out loud at him, in unison,

He just convinced republicans to stop hating old people! Progress!

And, given that he think we will only need it another decade, he wants oil companies to invest huge sums in domestic production.

Also lots of trashing the successful.

[George K]

"Any nation that out-educates us will beat us."

Absolutely agree.

And then, it's about public school teachers needing a raise.

D1, a Chicago Public School teacher makes good coin, and she's said, on many occasions that the problem is not the school but...the family, or lack thereof.

[George K]

"To secure the border."

Cruz smirks.
