Welcome to the livestream of President Biden’s Joint Address to Congress
The President will address a Joint Session of Congress at the United States Capitol on Wednesday, April 28, 2021 at 9pm EDT.
The White House feed will include American Sign Language interpretation for accessibility.
Just checking in for a minute.
Thank you for having my back right now and sending good thoughts/wishes.
Rough road right now but I still know we’re gonna turn this setback around.
You may not remember this but the last time Congress met in a joint session a mob sent by the Republican president of the United States tried to overturn our democracy because they were mad that too many Black Americans voted.

Lots of people saying the Biden administration is “boring.” But I don’t think it’s boring at all to be taking huge steps to correct the horrible damage done to this country by the Republican Party over the past 50 years or so.

How many republicans will take off their masks during the speech?
Giant Steps, if you will. The political version.

Four years ago, The Trump Thing did this. The next day the Media was gushing that he was “Finally acting like a President.”
Good times, eh?

Why is Biden, who has been fully vaccinated, wearing a mask, outside, alone?

I wish I wasn’t feeling so uncomfortable about this…I feel like something is going to happen.
Edit: …but then I felt the same way about the inauguration.

I remember how it usually went. Trump would speak from the teleprompter without acting like a lunatic for one evening, people would say how Presidential he was, then the next morning, he’d post something insane to Twitter, shattering that illusion. This would happen over and over like Charlie Brown and Lucy with the football, because people wanted to believe we had a President.
Mitch McConnell just called Nancy Pelosi and is ready to confirm Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court.

Zoot Suits are cool, and are not what the former guy wore.
Little Biden riff just now: Prepared text said “one of the defining images of this crisis has been cars lined up for miles waiting for a box of food to be put in the trunk.” Biden ad-libbed the part about them being nice cars, not just broke-down cars

Since we can’t overthrow them, we have to get private citizens to decide they want what Democrats want.
So nice to have a President whose voice I can actually tolerate.
Obviously he calls her Jill, but I am bummed that he didn’t introduce her as “Dr. First Lady.”

He may be “sane,” but he’s still a Republican. Nothing Biden says from the podium would make Mittens happy, especially since, as a failed former presidential candidate himself, Mittens can still very easily imagine what policies he would announce instead were he president.
I love that Biden didn’t call chauvin by name, he called him George Floyd’s murderer.

I am not rich, but I do fine for myself. If my taxes were raised $1000 a year to help pay for these programs I would gladly put an extra $85 a month in my tax account to do it.

That was one hell of a speech.

Every line of it is an indictment of shitty Congressional Republicans without ever calling them out directly.
