Did Biden get there on time despite the Hamas activists blocking the road?

Can't say I believe it's a coincidence that the show leading into the SOTU on NBC was a Law and Order episode about Muslim vs. Jewish violence.

Do you think a single person will acknowledge the fact that Joe Biden has negotiated a ceasefire deal that Israel has agreed to and that he has called on Hamas to sign?  That is what calling for a CEASEFIRE NOW means in practice.

I'm pleasantly surprised that the Squad didn't boycott.

Former members are allowed to attend (but not in the main seats, I believe).  I guess they don't make a distinction for expelled members in this situation.

It's so rare that I'd imagine they either (a) dug deep in the rulebook or (b) didn't bother to dig deep into the rulebook.

Only one man was fit to stand for the Republicans in the NY-3 special. He has two middle names and dozens of entertaining stories.

The speech was scheduled to start at 2am GMT (9pm EST), but thankfully I haven't missed any of the action during my last-minute rush for a takeaway! Which I totally didn't get because I wanted to refuel myself during SOTU, thanks.

Why is Santos there.

I'm just seeing all these faces... MTG, Gaetz, Susan Collins laughing it up with Lindsay Graham, this new speaker, the SCOTUS black robes chatting, the Ukra ine signs, the Immigration signs, the speaker fretting about a Pro Palestine protesters, Hillary Clinton diehard stans. I feel this is the first time I truly grasped this as just a complete clownshow, just about to start its opening act.

Likely. Had Tlaib decided to do a 3rd party run, that would be a unique ticket.

Time for the police to drag the protesters away.

Not really for her policies, she's just gorgeous and fabulous.  I even gotta admit I like Lauren Boebert's blue dress.

As a former member who has not been convicted of a felony he is allowed to attend and he wants the attention.

Biden's looking sharp. If the speech goes well this could give him a much needed boost.

Is the little old lady in front of Biden like the queen of the Secret Service? It looks like she may jump into Yoda-fighting mode at any moment.
