It was painfully obvious that Governor Huckabee Sanders (it pains me to type that) had written that godawful speech well in advance of the SOTU, and not a single word was changed after the SOTU was over. While the President addressed real issues that affect real Americans, Huckabee Sanders spoke of a "dystopian hellscape" (Senator Chris Murphy's description) where "woke mobs" and CRT instructors lurk under the bed with the bogeyman, waiting to kidnap your children.
President Biden was masterful. Huckabee Sanders was an embarrassing caricature of her MAGA-liar self.
(P.S. If you're unfamiliar with the "Dark Brandon" memes, you should look them up. President Uncle Joe went into full-on "Dark Brandon Mode" last night, and I for one am here for it!)
Mental midgets don’t rewrite speeches. She did the democrats a favor juxtaposing her words with the feral few that continue to make a mockery of the 118th Congress.
I was physically nauseated by her response. She just oozes hate & distain. Her recounting of the Christmas jaunt was beyond cringe worthy, I almost couldn’t believe my ears.
As a commenter on MSNBC said, she didn't mention the name of TFG in the recounting. So many low points for TFG like people in Puerto Rico waiting and hopefully expecting some help and then being offered the game of catch a roll of paper towels while on camera.
“Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a hideous figure in American life. She lacks character, dignity, honesty, self-awareness and respect. By that measure, she was the perfect choice to speak for a party in which a low man like Kevin McCarthy has risen to the top — or at least to the short line at Mar-a-Lago. What a disgrace, and what an embarrassment for Arkansas.“ I would add an embarrassment for the Unites States. She truly is one of the absolute worst of the worst.
So true. Like other commenters here, I have a visceral reaction of revulsion when seeing and hearing her. The snide face (she has a face she deserves), and haughty attitude are painful to observe. Who decides which person will represent the party via the rebuttal? So, MAGA still controls them
Wow Steve! You hit the nail on the head and broke it with the truth of all your statements. You are an amazing storyteller and fact checker. I really enjoy reading your daily news articles. I live in MAGA Florida where the looneys in the extreme right wing government are making all these mean, insane WOKE laws like “Don’t Say Gay”, “Banning Books”, getting rid of Teachers Unions and creating made up conspiracies. How the heck this state became so far right extreme GQP controlled is a shame! I’m a progressive Democrat and will fight hard in FL to protect Women’s reproductive rights, voting rights, LGBTQ+ rights and workers rights! American Democracy needs level headed leaders like President Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris to lead us into the bright future of hope and prosperity to all Americans. I ain’t moving! 😻🏡🇺🇸🌈
She was, is and always be repulsive, following in the steps of her mentor, Trumpty Dumpty! How anyone can listen to and/or like what she says is beyond comprehension!
100% agreed Steve with everything you say. I didn’t watch either, just look at the drab droop of her face which tells us alot about her dingy stained message. Is the paint dry yet?? And once again ~ thank you for your videos! This is one fan who never tires of watching your expressions and hearing your voice. It makes your message all the more powerful. Please keep bringing them on!
😂😂😂”She peddles fear and platitudes in a stew of performative outrage, seasoned with two dashes of malice, a sprinkle of division and a dollop of imbecility.”
After the results of the 2016 election and compounded by the January 6, 2021 domestic terrorism, I've had a great deal of anxiety with full blown panic attacks on a regular basis. I could not watch the SOTU live as I feared a higher level of heckling and disruption from the moronic so called "freedom caucus". I read the transcript this morning: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/
Then I went through my Post.News feed to get impressions from people I trust and my Substack subscriptions. I saw a photo of Huckabee-Sanders in my news feed. She looks like a witch with the perfect backdrop being her witches den. She reminds me of the cruelest women in Amy Coney-Barrett's very creepy people of praise sect.
Tonight I will watch Judy Woodruff interview President Biden on PBS Newshour. That will be comforting. President Biden's Communications team need to really get him out more on television where he actually speaks to the interviewers face to face or on video. Face the Nation and other Sunday talk shows would be great - extended conversations. He needs to drop in to the daily press briefings more as well.
Felt the same way, I just didn't feel I could handle watching it - not because of Biden, but because of what we expected would happen. And it did: once I heard that MTG was shouting "Liar!" at Biden, I knew I had made the right decision. It is obvious that the right has NO INTEREST in governing, working collaboratively within a bipartisan approach - and NO INTEREST IN BASIC MANNERS & DECENCY. They have degenerated into the embarrassing school misfits who can only bully, call other people horrible names, mock people about things that they can't change (Trump was the leader of the band in this regard), and show zero compassion (Paul Pelosi) or intelligence. I remember one of my high school nuns always telling us, "Empty barrels make the most noise." Boy, did she call that one!
Good looking, bad looking, whatever. What matters is how you wear it. All of us have, or certainly will, engage with the full spectrum of looks in our lifetimes. A hideously looking person, relative to are learned standards, exudes beauty and warmth when their heart is in the right place. After a fortunate encounter with such an individual, I feel my mind tricked me. After a warm “Goodbye!”, I walk away saying to myself “Dang, what an amazing beautiful person! “. “Feeling good!” Too bad Sarah has chosen to stain her look into that of the feared stereotypical wicked witch with a cold heart.
An amazing post it is, too, Ted! I appreciate what you're saying about 'looks'. I felt the same way, but I didn't have the words to express it. I look forward to your newsletter. Keep posting and writing. Lisa
Lisa - Ha! Thank you for the vote of confidence. 😊 Re-reading I see a couple of subtle grammar mistakes. And what made my fingers type “are”?! Took a breath, typed, did not hit the delete key, tapped the send icon. Little under the radar replying to a reply. Years long observer giving my voice a try. Your replay made my day.
Ted, I know the feeling of being an observer for a long time, years, and then finally taking the leap to let my fingers type something I'm feeling and then daring to hit 'post'. The first time I did that was here on The Warning. What you wrote is something I got up and re-read this morning, because of the depth of the concept you're sharing and your beautiful way of expressing yourself in words. I actually deleted my own post that took a pot-shot at SHS, upon reflection of what you wrote, as well as another person here on this forum. In our society, it is so easy to get trapped in our mind filters about people's 'looks' and to miss out on getting to know the real person. I know it so well from personal experience, so you touched upon a topic that is important to me, and most likely to many others. We all have a place at the table. Best!
My goodness her rant truly boggles the mind. We have a number of wannabes here in Canada who like to throw up these ridiculous platitudes. We miss the best of America.

I love those Dark Brandon memes. Brandon was originally an insult and that has been completely flipped.
After the first self-serving 2 minutes it was hard to watch; so I didn’t.
Same here.
Agree 💯! I call her upchuck Huckabee.
Love that. Lol
"As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool repeats his folly."
Revulsion is what I feel every time I see her. Can't listen to her.
It’s difficult to name the most shameless character in the Trump orbit, but she’s certainly in the top tier.
I was physically nauseated by her response. She just oozes hate & distain. Her recounting of the Christmas jaunt was beyond cringe worthy, I almost couldn’t believe my ears.
I felt the same, physically ill. I watched the entire thing and couldn’t believe my ears! What a miserable human being.
As a commenter on MSNBC said, she didn't mention the name of TFG in the recounting. So many low points for TFG like people in Puerto Rico waiting and hopefully expecting some help and then being offered the game of catch a roll of paper towels while on camera.
My thoughts exactly.

After hearing that voice for 90 seconds - PTSD & flashbacks set in & I had to turn her off. Literally 2 completely different sets of realities

No holding back here. The best thing that she ever did of which I am aware is leave the Red Hen when asked.
She was, is and always be repulsive, following in the steps of her mentor, Trumpty Dumpty! How anyone can listen to and/or like what she says is beyond comprehension!
Her gang, religious kooks... driven by faith and nuttery

Looks like a witch indeed. She wears the face she deserves

Wow! First time post ever. On Twitter and the Post’s new platform I’ve been an observer, never taking the leap to express my thoughts. 😳😊
