Huckabee's rebuttal will be full of lies and conspiracy bullshit ..... Lovie777 Feb 2023 #4
And as usual, the rebuttal won't have a damn thing about the SOTU. Pre-recorded noise. emulatorloo Feb 2023 #7

This will require a great deal of finessing for Repugs to spin into a deadly INVASION.

Which is what we've been hearing continuously. Abbott has been beating his chest about the Great Wall of Texas in the works to protect real Americans from the barbarian hoards.

Heads will be spinning to turn this into a negative. If POTUS mentions this during the SOTU, we can expect hissing and boos, perhaps someone screeching "Liar" for an outraged effect.

Sarah Huckabee will really need to tap-dance in her rebuttal. Maybe she'll twirl and twirl and twirl propelling herself into outer-space. Good luck, sweet cheeks. And Trump's expected video, another rebuttal. He's sure to edit the film to scream 'Liar, liar, pants on fire!'

Good times!

MAGA “The borders are wide open!”

Me “Why do you say that?”

MAGA, “they’re catching a record number of people at the border trying to cross!”

Me, “Wait, doesn’t the fact that they’re catching record numbers of people mean it’s the opposite of an open border? Wouldn’t them not catching anyone mean the border is open?”

MAGA,”…derp.”
