Biden uses feisty State of the Union to contrast with Trump, sell voters on a second term

That was one of the more interesting SOTU addresses I've seen. Personally, I think he said most of the things that needed to be said, and he said them reasonably well. I'm sure he's going to get some flack for attacking Trump directly (though not by name), but I was frankly glad to see it. Doing otherwise makes it seem like it's just your typical election/political disagreements, but we're past that now.

It's the one where he said he supports Israel and wants them to finish the job... You're just being willfully blind at this point and clearly lack the maturity to differentiate your idealistic vision with the true reality of what would happen if Trump gets another term.

So Trump isn't actually Putin's puppet? Is that what you're landing on?

See how cognitive dissonance works? Lol.

Hahaha, as if he can't both be pro-pootin and pro-israel. What really makes you think he wouldn't try to help Israel destroy Gaza and help pootin destroy Ukraine?

People keep telling me Trump is Putin's puppet and Putin supports Hamas.

Are you suggesting he's not actually Putin's puppet?

YoI don't think you know what "cognitive dissonance" is or how it is being weaponized to take advantage of people like yourself. A LOT of Trump supporters are people who espouse antisemitism in one breath, but will cheer Trump saying Israel "needs to finish the job" in the next. You also don't seem to understand WHY Trump, a man who is desperate to win the election so he can eliminate all the lawsuits and judgements against him... is backing Isreal. I'll give you a hint: he wants the Jewish vote. He thinks saying "we will eliminate Palestinians" is the same as telling black people he's just like them for being the target of biased prosecution. Although, on second thought, you probably DO know these things... you're just arguing in bad faith because you have your own shitty agenda to push. So I guess the question is are you wildly ignorant or are you just pretending to be?
