No one is safe under the democratic regime of evil! We are all in terrible danger, you should be afraid, be very very afraid. Save yourself! Save democracy!\u201d *<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Well, OK, then. Tim Scott may have not sounded overly coherent, but at least I didn\u2019t feel <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">any<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"> need to shoot him with the tranquilizer dart. <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">Typically of comments sections, nobody there seemed to have actually watched or even read about the speech. I think I could have posted something about Biden congratulating Mitch McConnell on their groundbreaking agreement to sell white babies to China, and nobody would have contradicted me. Those comments groups are bad for your mental health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">One of the most remarkable things about Biden\u2019s speech was the sheer oratorical capacity the man showed. Any idiot can rile up an audience with stentorian exhortations to do Noble Things, and most do, but I watched Biden hold the House Chamber, and much of the nation, spellbound with <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">just <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">a friendly whisper. <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">He spoke with an earnestness and compassion, qualities lost in the hoarse brays of self-pity and truculence we had to deal with for the previous four years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">T<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">he tone could be summed up in one anecdote, told late in the speech. \u201c<\/span><em><span lang=\"en-US\">I spoke with Gianna Floyd, George Floyd\u2019s young daughter. <\/span><\/em><em>As I knelt down to talk to her so we could talk eye\u2014to\u2014eye, she said to me, Daddy changed the world.\u2019\u201d <\/em><em>Politicians, with rare exceptions, like to be shown relating to children. But the line that caught my eye (and heart) was \u201c&#8230;I knelt down to talk to her so we could talk eye-to-eye\u201d That speaks to a humanity that transcends the usual political rhetoric. Joe is a good guy who genuinely cares about people. <\/em><em>That\u2019s not something I believe because I am a liberal; it something <\/em><em>I<\/em><em> feel because I am a human being.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As for content, the basic message was actually summed up in Biden\u2019s opening remarks. <\/em><em><i>\u201cThe worst pandemic in a century.\u00a0<\/i><\/em><i>The worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.\u00a0The worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Now, after just 100 days, I can report to the nation: America is on the move again.\u00a0\u00a0Turning peril into possibility. Crisis into opportunity. Setback into strength.\u00a0Life can knock us down.\u00a0But in America, we never stay down.\u00a0In America, we always get up.<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then spoke of the progress America has made against the pandemic, and the early signs of an economic recovery that is likely to turn into a roaring boom. He talks about the vast, ambitious plans he has to ensure that we do come out of this stronger and better: child support, in the form of cash-back tax breaks, universal child care, universal health care. He spoke of the amazing results of the American Rescue Plan\u2014well over 200 million vaccinations, and hunger greatly reduced just in the first few months. He spoke of the difference the child credits would make for working families by the millions. It has already created 1.3 million new jobs in the past 60 days, an amazing record.<\/p>\n<p>He then spoke of his infrastructure plan, The American Jobs Plan, which he described as \u201ca once-in-a-generation investment in America itself, the largest jobs plan since World War II.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sounding like FDR, he spoke of the millions of good paying jobs regular workers would see from this plan, and said, \u201cWall Street didn\u2019t build this country.\u00a0The middle class built this country.\u00a0And unions build the middle class.\u00a0\u201c<\/p>\n<p>Defending the plan further, he said, <i>\u201cI<\/i><i>\u2019m calling on Congress to pass the Protecting the Right to Organize Act \u2013\u00a0the PRO Act\u00a0\u2014\u00a0and send it to my desk to support the right to unionize.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>By the way \u2013 let\u2019s also pass the $15 minimum wage.\u00a0No one should work 40 hours a week and still live below the poverty line.\u00a0And we need to ensure greater equity and opportunity for women.\u00a0Let\u2019s get the Paycheck Fairness Act to my desk for equal pay.\u00a0It\u2019s long past time.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Finally, the American Jobs Plan will be the biggest increase in non-defense research and development on record.\u00a0\u00a0We will see more technological change in the next 10 years \u2013\u00a0than we saw in the last 50 years.\u00a0\u201c<\/i><\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s right, of course, and the Republicans are going to be twisting themselves in deep knots figuring out how to oppose Biden without opposing the plan.<\/p>\n<p>My own takeaway, following the speech, is that Biden was his own best friend tonight in his goals of getting these policies enacted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">*Perhaps the comments \u201cSave Democracy\u201d reads better in Russian. <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">\u201c\u042f \u043d\u0435 \u043c\u043e\u0433\u0443 \u043f\u043e\u0432\u0435\u0440\u0438\u0442\u044c, \u0447\u0442\u043e \u044d\u0442\u043e \u0410\u043c\u0435\u0440\u0438\u043a\u0430. \u041d\u0438\u043a\u0442\u043e \u043d\u0435 \u043d\u0430\u0445\u043e\u0434\u0438\u0442\u0441\u044f \u0432 \u0431\u0435\u0437\u043e\u043f\u0430\u0441\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0438 \u043f\u0440\u0438 \u0434\u0435\u043c\u043e\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0442\u0438\u0447\u0435\u0441\u043a\u043e\u043c \u0440\u0435\u0436\u0438\u043c\u0435 \u0437\u043b\u0430! \u041c\u044b \u0432\u0441\u0435 \u0432 \u0443\u0436\u0430\u0441\u043d\u043e\u0439 \u043e\u043f\u0430\u0441\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0438, \u0432\u044b \u0434\u043e\u043b\u0436\u043d\u044b \u0431\u043e\u044f\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f, \u043e\u0447\u0435\u043d\u044c, \u043e\u0447\u0435\u043d\u044c \u0431\u043e\u044f\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f. \u0421\u043f\u0430\u0441\u0438 \u0441\u0435\u0431\u044f! \u0421\u043f\u0430\u0441\u0438\u0442\u0435 \u0434\u0435\u043c\u043e\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0442\u0438\u044e!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">O<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">K, maybe not.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biden\u2019s Speech Not the SOTU\u2014better April 28th, 2021 After listening to Joe Biden\u2019s address to some of Congress (COVID, don\u2019t you know, but it was amusing watch the expressions on Boehler\u2019s and Cruz\u2019 faces as Biden spoke) I caught Tim Scott\u2019s genial but largely delusional paean to America and how those nasty Democrats were preventing &hellip;
