He did the meme! 5 thoughts on Biden’s weirdest dog and pony show yet.
Well, that was a weird 70 minutes.

Well, that was a weird 70 minutes.
Truthfully, I knew exactly what I was getting into when I sat down to watch the State of the Union Address last night. The set-up had been telegraphed: Biden would come out, possibly drugged up, and go overboard trying to sell himself as vigorous and feisty. The media was prepared to run with it, as were all the social media mouthpieces. Within minutes of the start of the speech, legions of left-wing journos would be tweeting and posting about how "Sleepy Joe" came to play ball, how "Dark Brandon" is ready to rumble, blah, blah, blah.
But if you could separate yourself from that annoyance and actually listen to what was said, you simply could not help but offer up a despondent chuckle at the actual state of our Union.
I'll put it plainly: it ain't good. Here were the five most prominent observations I had on my notepad when I got done watching.

(5) Finally, here's what I thought after the entire spectacle ended: Why?
It's a feeling I have experienced after the last five or six of these dog and pony shows. Maybe more. There's nothing of worth in these public performances. There's nothing that improves our country or that in any way sticks to the original constitutional purpose of reporting to Congress on the state of national affairs.I have never been so convinced that there is truly no value left in this annual political theater. It serves no purpose. It is a glorified political rally for the president's party. Ever since Barack Obama normalized the practice of taunting Republicans in attendance, incidents of retaliatory, decorum-less heckling have skyrocketed. Why? Why are we still doing this?
The State of the Union Address used to be a written document. It's 100% beyond time to get back to that.
Commentary:
Joseph Robinette Biden Junior embarrassed our nation last night. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.
I appreciated point number 5. It’s also the question I asked myself—why are we still doing this? When Trump becomes president again, I hope he just records it and posts it online. No pomp and circumstance, no glad handing, no stopping for applause. Seems like a much better way to handle it.
