Biden’s speech ended with a bizarre shout: “Go get him!” Everyone mystified so far by that closing.
Hearty thanks to the Ron Paul Institute for their kind words on this post:

Biden warns "we are coming for your ill-begotten gains." Family members & close friends excepted. #SOTU

#SOTU Biden says: "When dictators do not pay a price for their aggression, they keep moving." That's why the Founders enacted the Bill of Rights to put a leash on Washington

How many times will Biden appear to fly into a rage during this #SOTU ?

"Let's stop looking at Covid as a partisan dividing line," says Biden whose fearmongering with Covid helped him win the presidency. #SOTU2022 .

Biden portrays Russian invasion of Ukraine as a "battle of democracies & autocracies." But Ukraine has been so horribly misgoverned for 30 years that its population fell @ 20% – mass exodus.

Did Biden just say he defeated Covid by distributing
free vaccines and free masks?— James Bovard (@JimBovard) March 2, 2022
Biden worried about the collection of personal data on young children — except for vaccine passports. #SOTU2022

Biden was the biggest Senate drug warrior from the 1980s and 1990s and now he promises to win the drug war. #SOTU2022

Another Biden line that will be on his political tombstone? "If we're going to secure liberty and justice, we need to secure our border…." #SOTU2022

Biden says gun makers are the only industry that cannot be sued. Federal govt. has far more legal immunity than any manufacturer.

Biden wants more federal handouts for community colleges whose students have massively fled campuses regardless of subsidies. #SOTU2022

Biden: "in my administration, the watchdogs are back." Another line that could come back to haunt him if his administration coverups their abuses & crimes #SOTU2022

Biden babbling on fighting inflation – will some of these lines be repeated in GOP hit pieces for the midterm congressional election? #SOTU2022

Did anyone have the word "tractories" on their Biden #SOTU bingo card? If so, take a shot now.

I thumped lots of lines from Biden's #SOTU but this one is true: "Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he’ll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people. He'll never extinguish their love of freedom." https://t.co/3rM4byTf2r

Biden claimed in #SOTU: "We achieved [victory over Covid] because we provided free vaccines, treatments, tests and masks." The vaxxes faded, the tests were flawed or late, and most people got their own masks.

Same ending in the speech. “Go get him!”
Thanks – I didn’t know he had used that before. It was the weirdest wrap-up I have seen in a speech to Congress.
I wondered if it was originally referring to Trump in 2020?
Who knows – someone suggested he was referring to Corn Pop. Given the number of verbal stumbles in the speech, ending on something utterly mystifying was imprudent.
“Biden was the biggest Senate drug warrior from the 1980s and 1990s and now he promises to win the drug war.”
Of all the tired and worn out clichés from the speech, that might be the worst. Are we to return to Nancy Reagan’s “I’m saying that if you’re a casual drug user, you are an accomplice to murder” world? I wrote to Nance in the White House after that quote, accusing her of being a pusher, of war and coercion. Oddly enough, she never wrote back.
Well, if it is any consolation, she never answered my letters, neither.
