This is utterly brilliant. I was absolutely dying. Maybe Hollywood would be better suited to her...

Here's my guess: Chloe Fineman as Britt in the Cold Open with Mikey Day as Biden. But where they'll take it, nobody knows! Thanks for weighing in.

Two minutes to go. Some people are betting on Tina Fey.

Better in Hollywood than the Senate for sure. Although, she can avoid dealing with reality very effectively in both locations. Lord save us from another Sarah Palin clone. I truly appreciate your satire. We need to find some humor to stay sane.

Great point! Both are great venues for avoiding reality. Glad you appreciate the satire. And speaking of humor, one of the most memorable memes from the 2008 presidential campaign was a cartoon of Obama and Palin winning Dancing With the Stars. Gotta laugh at this stuff to keep from crying sometimes. Thanks for reading and sharing your response!

BTW if you’re wondering, as I was, how a Mexican drug cartel could repeatedly rape a woman on US soil, as Britt suggested, it turns out she was flat-out lying. The incident happened in Mexico while GW Bush was president, years before Biden was even vice president. Here’s a link to the TikTok from a guy who did the research. If the link doesn’t work, see “Lied in her SOTU” on TikTok.

That’s how disinformation works. It takes time, energy and research to disprove the lie. But by then it’s too late. It’s the lie that people remember.

I worked with victims of trafficking along the US-Mexico Border this past year and I can't tell you how horrible and frustrating it is to see misinformation spread. Thanks for sharing this link!

And I’m sure you know much more about the situation than a politician who visits for one day, looking for victims to exploit. Thanks for checking out the link.

I never thought I could laugh at that scary mom but you’ve done it again.

If you laughed at my little satire, then my work here is done. Thanks for reading and weighing in. Much appreciated!

You captured her duplicitous performance accurately. Shameful and frightening.

Wasn’t she something? I started to write a point by point rebuttal to her speech, but my satirical side took over. Glad you liked it. Thank you for reading and weighing in.
