The ritual surrounding the annual State of the Union is never complete until the president’s opposition has presented its rebuttal — occasionally in an embarrassingmanner.
Little Marco and Littler Bobby have now been deposed.
... Into the late hours of the night, Rolling Stone was inundated, sometimes completely unprompted, with messages from longtime GOP operatives, right-leaning pollsters, conservative Capitol Hill staff, MAGA lawyers, and even some senior members of Trump’s own 2024 campaign absolutely torching Britt’s absurdly over-dramatic rebuttal.
She posted that! If the Senate doesn't work out she's got a career making breathless, teary voice-overs for abused pet rescue orgs.
“Creepy,” one of the Republican pollsters noted.
A lawyer working in the Trump orbit says the performance reminded them of public-access television, and a senior House congressional aide remarks that it was “cringe”-inducing to watch and likely destined to be turned into a “lame [Saturday Night Live] skit” this weekend.
Great minds, GoCubsGo
“I’ll give Biden this — he at least gave a better speech than Katie Britt,” one national Republican consultant said bluntly.
Low bar.
... Across Capitol Hill, the rebuttal was received with widespread mockery. One Republican staffer described it to Business Insider as “giving high school freshman speech.”
“She really thinks she’s killing it. But it’s comical, like SNL quality,” they added.
It won't happen, but it would also be funny if Lorne Michaels declared that some things are too easy and obvious even for SNL then showed an excerpt without parody or commentary.

That could be Weekend Update.
But she's still only the second biggest idiot in Alabama.

... Repulsive Tuberville confirmed that, stating that Britt was chosen because he [sic, I think ] was a housewife and mother:
"She's a mom. She's a housewife ... (extended idiotic whining)"
Umm, Katie Britt is a US Senator, moron. Before that she was a Bama undergrad and JD, political and academic staff and a practicing lawyer. Britt was NEVER "a housewife" any more than Potatotown was a househusband all those years he was coaching.
Despite her bizarre SOTU performance, she seems to be smart, credentialed and possessing strong leadership skills. GoCubsGo and MeidasTouch are not the only "great minds". I heard someone else on TV reminding us that Potatotown is worse. I agree.

Marjorie Taylor Greene and RSBN producer and boyfriend Brian Glenn offered a response to President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech, competing with the official GOP response from Senator Katie Britt. Glenn stated he was aware there is an official GOP response but he wanted a response from the MAGA perspective....
In offering a competing "MAGA Republican" response to the GOP, Greene and her boyfriend revealed some of the core principals of MAGA: 1) Compete against your own party 2) Make everything about yourself 3) Show a failure to grasp the basics what you are talking about

... What did Jacinto say?
(Karla Jacinto Romero, who testified to Congress in 2015 about being forced to work in brothels in Mexico in the mid-2000s)
Appearing on CNN Sunday, Jacinto reiterated that the trafficking happened before Biden’s presidency and that Britt’s use of her story is why she has been reluctant to cooperate with politicians since her testimony to Congress.
“It seems to me that they only want an image. They only want a photo,” Jacinto said. “And that to me is not fair.”
Yep, Britt is a dick.
Britt gets mocked by ‘SNL’ and Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars
... During his monologue at the Oscars on Sunday, host Jimmy Kimmel referred to Emma Stone’s portrayal of Bella Baxter in Poor Things, the role for which she won Best Actress.
“Emma played an adult woman with the brain of a child, like the lady who gave the rebuttal to the State of the Union on Thursday night,” Kimmel said.

... both chatbots' verdicts were that Biden's cognitive abilities are just fine.
"The interview transcripts reflect that President Biden was able to communicate effectively, recall details from his tenure, and engage in logical reasoning during the interview," ChatGPT wrote. "These aspects are essential indicators of cognitive abilities and suggest that he could perform cognitively demanding tasks during the interview."
Claude responded similarly, though noted that age may have something to do with Biden's responses.
"President Biden demonstrates mostly intact cognitive abilities, with clear and coherent thinking, appropriate language use, and the ability to recall relevant information," Claude wrote. "While there are some age-related changes noted, they do not appear to significantly impact his overall cognitive functioning in the context of this interview."
... When it came to Biden's memory, ChatGPT found that he displayed memory recall by describing interactions and processes related to handling classified documents with context. Claude said that was reflected by his ability to provide specific details and anecdotes from his time as vice president.
The chatbots also pointed out Biden's seemingly good verbal reasoning skills. ChatGPT said the president demonstrated his ability to "process information" and "engage in complex discussions" by answering clarifications and follow-up questions. Claude wrote he "generally demonstrates clear and coherent thinking" and can "largely stay on topic" despite occasional tangents.
To summarise, "Based on the transcripts, President Biden shows no significant difficulty in articulating his thoughts, recalling past events, and engaging in detailed discussions on various topics, all of which are aspects of cognitive functioning," ChatGPT wrote. Claude came to a similar conclusion....
