    The best change. Everybody says so. No one's seen anything like it.

      NY Post editorial board is not a fan of the speech. And they didn't pull any punches.

        I guess he's never hired new speechwriters.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          That’s right it will go down in historical footnotes as the Swamp and Yawn election.

                Did anybody see/hear the response speech from Sen. Britt?

                Hmm, was not to impressive in my opinion.

                      It wasn't great. She's apparently a rising star, but needs to rise a few more years before she's ready for anything much bigger IMO. She's very committed and sincere, but what little I watched consisted of standard talking points mixed with it "I'm a wife and mother, so I know".

                        My buddies were texting about that response. It was wayyyyyy overly dramatic. Not sure why the SOTU responses are always so awkward?

                              Yes to this!! 555 Sounded like she was autiditioning for a school play and was told to be dramatic.

                              Lots of "breathy" responses, etc.

                                She definitely seems to have the misleading politician talk down already!!

                                Britt shared the story of a woman she spoke with at the southern border, who Britt said was sex-trafficked by the cartels, recalling in graphic detail the story of the abuse of the then-12-year-old.

                                "We wouldn't be OK with this happening in a third-world country," Britt said at the conclusion of the story. "This is the United States of America and it is past time, in my opinion, that we start acting like it. President Biden's border policies are a disgrace."

                                well..............

                                An independent journalist, Jonathan M Katz, first reported in a viral video that the story Britt recalled of the trafficking had actually occurred in Mexico during George W. Bush's presidency. Britt appeared to be telling the story of Karla Jacinto Romero, who has testified before Congress about being the victim of sex trafficking by Mexican cartels when she was 12.
