Biden's third such address will be something of an on-the-job interview, as the nation's oldest president tries to quell voter concerns about his age and job performance while sharpening the contrast with Donald Trump.

That was one of the more interesting SOTU addresses I’ve seen. Personally, I think he said most of the things that needed to be said, and he said them reasonably well. I’m sure he’s going to get some flack for attacking Trump directly (though not by name), but I was frankly glad to see it. Doing otherwise makes it seem like it’s just your typical election/political disagreements, but we’re past that now.

    If Trumps three Supreme Court picks had been made by Clinton or Sanders instead, there wouldn’t be the current discussion about losing rights.

      If my nan had wheels, she’d be a bike. Sanders didn’t win because racism and greed are more important values to your country than freedom and empathy.

        It’s not about who won or lost, it’s about your statement that “You are losing rights no matter who sits in the Whitehouse lol.”

        That’s patently false. If the White House had been held by Clinton or Sanders when those three Supreme Court nominees were selected, we would not be having the discussion of lost rights.
