I have, thus far, steadfastly and with indefatigable diligence, avoided hearing even an snippet of his speech or reading a line of transcript.

I did this out of consideration for my blood pressure.

Let me ask, need I know more than I’ve seen of that Leni Riefenstahlesque tableau and the headlines that he declared all MAGA Republicans are domestic terrorists?

While he didn't actually say MAGA Republicans are domestic terrorists, it was the first 15 minutes of a 25 minute "Unify America" was saying how Trump and MAGA Rs are a threat to American Democracy. He cited examples of what he or his handlers thought were threats. And for every example he cited, mainly 06Jan20221 and that idiot that recently shot up the FBI office in Cincinnati, all I could think of is the multitude of actions BLM and Antifa have been doing for the last several years. Yet not one mention, let alone a condemnation, of extremism from leftist groups.

This speech was about vilifying the Republicans, energizing the left, and hoping the midterms and his primary are safe. Or more like his handlers since CornPop has the brain capacity of a rock.

A great Ron DeSantis response

"President Biden is the American Nero.

Last night’s speech was a truly despicable spectacle.

If you dissent from his agenda he considers you a “threat to democracy.”"

18 years to finally become a citizen and he’s grateful. Illegals come across the border and drop a kid who is also a citizen and the start of the chain. Seems to me it rather cheapens the idea of citizenship and the efforts of people like him.

A different view

The MAGA agenda represents the very foundations of our Republic

It respects and upholds our Constitution

It believes in and supports the rule of law

And it is the will of the people



one more thing, Lets Go Brandon !!

Survey Finds Most Likely Voters View Biden’s Philadelphia Speech as ‘Dangerous Escalation’
By Mark Tapscott
September 6, 2022 Updated: September 6, 2022


A big majority of voters who say they are likely to cast ballots in the November congressional elections agree with a description of President Joe Biden’s Sept. 1 speech in Philadelphia as a “dangerous escalation in rhetoric” that was “designed to incite conflict among Americans.”

Biden’s speech was delivered at Independence Hall in Philadelphia where the Constitutional Convention met in 1787 to write the U.S. Constitution. During his remarks, Biden condemned former President Donald Trump and his “MAGA Republican” supporters as representing “an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”

But the results of the Atlanta-based Trafalgar Group’s survey of 1,084 likely voters during the three days immediately following Biden’s prime-time televised speech suggest that most of those who will decide the outcome of November’s midterm elections view the president as the representative of political extremism.

The survey has a 2.9 percent margin of error and a 95 confidence rate. The Trafalgar Group was founded by Robert Cahaly and was one of a tiny group of polling firms that successfully predicted Trump’s 2016 victory over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Each of the respondents was asked this question: “What is your opinion of President Biden’s recent primetime address to the nation in which he accused his political opponents of representing ‘an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic’?”

Among all surveyed, 56.8 percent agreed with the statement that Biden’s speech “represents a dangerous escalation of rhetoric and is designed to incite conflict among Americans.”

A little more than a third of the respondents, 35.5 percent, instead agreed with a description of Biden’s address as “acceptable campaign messaging that is to be expected in an election year.”

Of the Democrats who responded, 70.8 percent agreed that Biden’s speech was acceptable, with only 18.7 percent saying it represented a danger. Republicans reacted even more intensely in the opposite fashion, with 89.1 percent viewing the address as dangerous, and less than five percent as acceptable.

Politically, however, the most significant results of the Trafalgar Group survey came from Independents, the voters in the middle who often provide the decisive votes that determine winners in congressional elections.

Nearly two out of three of the Independents, 62.4 percent, agreed with the description of the President’s words as a “dangerous escalation,” with 31.2 percent saying it was acceptable campaign season language.

Biden himself seemed to be trying to backtrack on his rhetoric in Philadelphia, declaring the day after that “I don’t consider any Trump supporters a threat to the country. I do think anyone who calls for the use of violence, refuses to acknowledge an election … changing the way you count votes, that is a threat to democracy,” Biden said, without elaborating.

Then, during a Sept. 5 Labor Day campaign speech in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Biden described his predecessor’s supporters as “extreme” and “Trumpies.” Later that day, during an address in Pittsburgh, he said of Trump “it’s clear which way he wants to look. It’s clear which way the new MAGA Republicans are … very extreme.”

Biden’s rhetoric in Philadelphia and on the campaign trail over the Labor Day weekend contrasted sharply with his comments during his Inaugural Address on Jan. 20, 2021, when he declared that “history, faith, and reason show the way, the way of unity. We can see each other not as adversaries but as neighbors. We can treat each other with dignity and respect. We can join forces, stop the shouting, and lower the temperature. For without unity, there is no peace, only bitterness and fury.”

Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States, for whom Trafalgar Group conducted the survey, said in a statement on the results that “these numbers reveal that most voters were sickened and deeply disturbed by what they saw last week. When you couple this finding with previous polling we did indicating a majority of voters also hold President Biden responsible for America’s divisions—it’s clear that the man who promised to unite the nation has become the most divisive President in American history.”

Meckler added that “when voters tell you they think that the prepared remarks of a sitting President of the United States is a dangerous escalation and designed to incite conflict, we are living in terrifying times. Perhaps even more terrifying is the fact that a huge majority of Democrats think this was just a routine, election-year stump speech.

I know democrats that were horrified by that speech. And outside a couple "I know nice Republicans" lines he is apparently keeping the MAGA is a threat theme going.

^^^^ Yes, but make no mistake. That was the exact intention. It's escalation on purpose. The democrats, and specifically the asshole who wrote that speech, want "MAGA Republicans" to react with violence. They desperately want a real insurrection.

In short, that speech was not a mistake.
