Wow. I have never admired Joe Biden more.

[highplainsdem]

Speaking the truth, at this all-important time, about Donald Trump and his allies and followers.

[Raster]

1. Thank You Brandon!

[VWolf]

14. LOL I hope this becomes a thing n/t

[Raster]

23. We. Need. To. Make. It. A. Thing.

Time to take their lies, their falsehoods, and their memes and turn them against them.

The GOP*, the GQP*, the Republican leadership, etc., spend HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS each year to influence public opinion.

The number one rule of the Republican Ministry of Propaganda* is to make sure the TRUTH is demeaned and derided. They KNOW that if you tell a lie enough times, eventually some will adopt it as truth.

Vote. Every. Republican. Out. Of. Office.
NONE of them deserves re-election.
ALL of them are guilty of subverting democracy.
NOTHING will ever get better in the U.S. until the GOP* is gone!

59. This comes to mind: "So let us not speak falsely now"

“The hour is getting late.”

[pazzyanne]

[FalloutShelter]

2. I stand with Joe Biden!

My President a patriot of the highest order.

[highplainsdem]

22. +1,000,000

[jaxexpat]

33. Sort of a Democratic presidential prerequisite.

In the other camp, not so much.

[uponit7771]

3. GO JOE !!! He's speaking the truth and doing it effectively

[kacekwl]

4. Punch after punch landing

squarely on trumps jaw. Win by knockout.

[highplainsdem]

16. Biden couldn't have been more effective. I'm in awe...and so damn grateful he did this.

[highplainsdem]

5. I'm so glad he brought up the hypocrisy of Republicans questioning only the presidential vote

on ballots.

[luvtheGWN]

44. Not just hypocrisy. Rank stupidity.

Right up there with Repubs trying to blame leftists, Antifa, BLM for protesting and rioting an election outcome they supported.

I do believe every member of Congress (or in my case, the Canadian Parliament) should be required to take a mental competency test before being allowed to run.

[3catwoman3]

48. And add to that a reversal of ..."no religious test shall ever be required..."

More and more, I feel like agnostics and atheists should be the only people holding office.

If all Christians were like Joe Biden, fine, but they aren’t. We need to keep the Christo-fascists OUT of government.

[raccoon]

57. I second that emotion. Nt

[Cha]

72. Oh Good to know.. TY and

TY for your OP, HP !

[mobeau69]

6. Wow! Just wow!🇺🇸

[Ouroborosnek]

7. I love it

Perfect words to be said today, I need to find the transcript this is filled with plenty of good quotes that need to be shared far and wide.

[highplainsdem]

8. "They want to rule, or they will ruin."

[nycbos]

9. Same

I just wish this speach was in prime time.

[highplainsdem]

10. We'll be hearing a lot of it in the news.

[nycbos]

24. True

But that would be the case anyway.

However the news will only play snippets of the speech. If it was in primetime more people would've seen the speech from start to finish.

[PatSeg]

32. Yes, that is the advantage of when a President speaks

His words will be repeated over and over again.

Incredible speech.

[samnsara]

11. not like the former defeated guy who would stand before us...look down his nose...

..frown in disapproval...and twist back and forth like a little child...

Joes non verbal is just as powerful as his words..hes in command!

[highplainsdem]

12. I have tears in my eyes.

[orleans]

30. so did i. nt

[pazzyanne]

42. Count me in.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

13. I really admire our President

[highplainsdem]

64. It's hard for me to imagine anyone NOT admiring him. He's incredible.

[gademocrat7]

15. Incredible speech.

Thank you President Biden for telling the truth to the nation!

[highplainsdem]

65. Definitely. We should all be grateful to Biden.

[nolabear]

17. Awake at 6 am to watch. Now I don't need coffee!

That was as rousing a condemnation of the former traitorous liar as I could imagine.

[highplainsdem]

18. No kidding. What a rush...

[tishaLA]

19. The best words out of his mouth since

"this is a big fucking deal"

[highplainsdem]

20. Agreed. And this is a bigger fucking deal.

[dwayneb]

21. Incredible speech - but

It will take more than words of truth to stem the spread of fascism here in the USA.

One thing that Biden can't come out and say directly is that the Fascists won the first battle of the new Civil War on January 6th. How did they win it? The very fact that 75% of Republicans now believe the Big Lie is a testament to the power of their propaganda machine, and the success of January 6th.

What we need to be focusing on is the next battle in this war. What is the Administration and Congress doing to ensure democracy will survive that engagement? What are you and I doing to prepare? That's the only question that matters at this point.

[AngryOldDem]

25. I am near tears.

This SO needed to be said.

A democratic republic is about the most fragile of all systems of government. One man can con millions into destroying it.

I’m having the same emotional reaction to today as I did in the first couple years after 9/11.

Now to hold Trump and everyone else involved accountable.

[highplainsdem]

28. Ditto - see reply 12. I didn't expect to feel so emotional. But this was a perfect speech,

delivered perfectly.

[Rebl2]

26. Think it's

the best speech I have heard from him

[highplainsdem]

49. I feel the same way.

[yaesu]

27. I hope the flushed turd, AKA TFG, wore his brown pants today. nt

[Mira]

29. On a loop

I would like to see the speech running on a loop all day, and then some. He is better than any pundit and shows that he gets it and tells it like it is and was.

[highplainsdem]

58. Same here.

[orleans]

31. i wish they would run this again in prime time nt

[highplainsdem]

62. I do, too.

[iscooterliberally]

34. Biden filleted Trump and his supporters.

I hope they all scurry back under the rocks from which the crawled. Fuck those guys!

[highplainsdem]

63. +1,000,000

[Emile]

35. Wondering how long before the former guy opens his mouth!

He has to be pissed with President Joe Biden!

[highplainsdem]

66. He's already whining. But Biden completely nailed him.

[lark]

36. Thank you for this, President Biden!

[Alien Life Form]

37. One of the best speeches ever!

Like FDR on Pearl Harbor...and that is no exaggeration because the GOP is worse than the Japanese because they threatened us from inside whereas the GOP threatens destruction from within..

Strong voice..emotional and perfect aim at the heart of the GOP beast!

[highplainsdem]

67. Yes, it was!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

38. From Prof. Tribe

Link to tweet

[highplainsdem]

68. Great tweet! Thanks for posting that!

[Cha]

74. Nice! Rt TY & Lawrence Tribe!

[Traildogbob]

39. Just imagine

The Arizona KKKlan rally. Trump will be screaming and ranting so hard, the KKKlan gatherers will get so pissed and hate filled they start beating the hell out of each other. Way to go Brandon. This is the anger we need to see from Dems, stop the damn “my friends across the aisle” shit. They attacked, are attacking our country. Get fuckin mad Dems. Thank you Joe, time for some of that out behind the barn anger, and action.

[Upthevibe]

40. highplainsdem....

I completely agree. I thought he was pitch perfect....

[allegorical oracle]

43. Totally agree. I wrote Capitol Hill speeches and

this one rated an A-plus. Prior to the speech, was hoping Biden would one make one key point. That point was that somehow, inexplicably, Republicans at the local, state, and national levels won races -- yet "fraud" occurred only at the top of the ballot. And that point was made. So thrilled.

[NCjack]

46. It's a sad realization for me that DEMs either have to pass voting rights or

fight the GOP using their tactics. That is, contest every election that GOP wins, from the top to the bottom. Force and war is that they understand.

[jmbar2]

45. Outstanding speeches from both Biden and Harris

I am so inspired to protect Democracy any way that I know how.

[Pinback]

47. Tremendous speech

and a great introduction by VP Harris as well.

[LaMouffette]

50. I am proud of Joe Biden and proud of us Dems for electing him and Vice President Kamala Harris!

[SYFROYH]

51. I thought it was a good speech, too, and I hardly ever like Joe's speeches.

The high points soared over the minor low points.

[Tree Lady]

54. I have a FB friend who I used to work with

Bernie supporter (who voted for Joe) said basically the same thing. I see it as a good sign for democrats to come together this year.

[Jon King]

52. President Biden did a great job, left Fox News scrambling.

Fox News had to rely on some 2 bit Congressman saying it was all Pelosi's fault for not providing more security. Talk about desperate distraction. Yeah, we caused it but you did not have enough there to stop what we caused. WTF.

Had there been more security, properly armed, likely hundreds of MAGAs would be dead right now.

[appalachiablue]

53. Well done, President Biden! You make us proud.

[relayerbob]

55. 1000% agreed

Game Fucking On

[George II]

56. I just saw the entire speech again on C-Span. It was MUCH better the second time around.

[Emile]

60. He left no doubt they are going after TFG! If one thing Republicans respect

it is strength. President Biden showed strength!

[PatrickforB]

61. One of his very best speeches.

Both he and Harris told it like it is.

May God bless him, and may we all act together to preserve this republic.

[Blue Owl]

69. He worked FF45 over like an overinflated speedbag

[Cha]

73. lol

[MustLoveBeagles]

70. That was a hell of a speech

He didn't pull any punches.

[electric_blue68]

71. Powerful, Fierce Speech with excellent delivery...

I watched it way later bc currently late night sleeper.
And better bc I was awake.

Wow. His best with lasting, memorable lines...
esp "dagger to the throat of Democracy". Yeeeow!
And SO true!

Truthfully I'd never expect him to say something like that,
be willing to say it if it wasn't his word - I know there arespeech writers for all.of them. Different Presidents give them a template, over all frame, etc, then some gett very hands on, too, with their writers.

Calling out TFG lies. Ready to stand, and defend democracy.
A real push for us Democrats. Perhaps small batches of Republican voters with a shred of sanity, and listening left.

Yes, I got teary eyed here and there.

Only wish it had been in prime time.

wow!
