  1. Absolutely unhinged fear mongering roller coaster of a speech.

  2. I feel like that response did more damage to Republican credibility than the speech itself. And that speech was a fucking bloodbath for Republicans.

  3. At times it sounded like a pre-recorded church women’s group testimony, and at times it sounded like a villain’s soliloquy in a high school play. At no point did it sound authentic or sincere.

    Edit: I read some comments over at rcon, and even they thought she was weird and scary. lol

  4. They don’t realize that is dead on the vibe of the current GOP. Crazy, scary, and really fucking weird.

  5. I actually don’t think SNL could do a better parody.

    They should just lead with it Saturday.

  6. Did anyone pickup on the fact that she was sitting in her Kitchen and not her Family Room. Is that the hidden message that the place a woman belongs is in the kitchen? I mean, everyone would have picked up on it if she was sitting in a garage or a workshop. Why didn’t any say anything about her sitting in the Kitchen?

  7. If the senate doesn’t work out she could have a great career in shitty made for tv lifetime movies

  8. “I went to the border and heard a horrific story about a woman who was sex trafficked and raped by the cartels.

    Sexual assault is the worst thing a woman can experience in her life.

    Anyways.

    Here’s why you should elect a convicted sexual predator as President.”

  9. They tried playing the identity politics game by having a young(ish) white woman respond to old white man’s comments to give the image of being more “with it” than the Democrats. But it failed because almost all of their players are incompetent.

  10. Surprising amount of rape content for a SOTU response.

    Just very, very weird from beginning to end.

    I do not understand why anyone would give any kind of political power to this collection of weirdos and freaks.

    Edit: Oh hey, while we’re on the subject of rape, I guess we forgot that there’s also this whole thing about how [Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E. Jean Carroll](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/19/trump-carroll-judge-rape/)

  11. I wasn’t surprised at all. Honestly it typical MRGA (make **Russia** Great again). that is taking over the republican party, SAD!!

  12. I want to see SNL have a crack at this, and have the actor playing Britt having to stop every 30 seconds or so to do kitchen stuff.

    “Joe Biden is the devil himself, and another thing, *ding ding*

    Oh, just one second folks, sound like my cookies are ready! Be right back!”

  13. It’s so creepy to watch. Her expressions shift from serious to stifling a laugh to erasing a smirk that crept onto her face to psychotically looking like she’s going to stab the camera. It’s near impossible to follow what she’s say between the hums and sighs and awkward pauses in the middle of a sentence that otherwise had a fine cadence.

    It’s like she’s trying to read a teleprompter while paying attention to someone holding flashcards with what emotion she’s supposed to be showing.

  14. I felt compelled to eventually try to watch it. I couldn’t finish it. It was just the perfect mix of Stepford wife and dystopian future 2 minute hate. Honestly, one of the most uncomfortable things I’ve ever seen and I’ve watched videos of people killed by an industrial drill press.

  15. Really? She seems very on brand with the Republican Party.

  16. Breathe your own farts in a chamber for 40 years, you get poisoned. They deserve this fully. What an absolute embarrassment.

  17. “One of our biggest disasters”, only to be topped by President Disaster himself. Even her kitchen was awful.

  18. The scariest part? She actually connected with millions of people.

  19. “One of our biggest disasters”

    Biggest so far, GOP. I got a newsflash for you, it CAN and WILL get and lot worse, and that’s saying something because that rebuttal in the words of George W Bush was “some weird shit”

  20. Not only did this woman vote no on the recent border bill which was touted as the most conservative border policy in **years**, she was actually a part of the committee that negotiated and drafted the fucking thing.

    She was on the team that put this package together, then votes it down because Daddy Trump said to. Then has the audacity to make that response last night blaming rapings on Biden and using a poor dead girl as prop to feign outrage.

  21. She went full tilt Stepford.

    Who’s going to play her in the SNL skit?

  22. Biden: *Rolls a natural 20*

    Katie: *Rolls so many consecutive 1’s the DM has to go into the attic to find one of those dusty old school critical botch tables*

  23. I mean, she was coached on this speech by some GOP person. Somebody wrote it. They rehearsed it, probably a lot. Why is anyone in the GOP surprised about what they saw her do? She wasn’t doing improv

  24. Yea, while millions of American women are desperately worried that the Republicans are trying to turn back the clock on their rights and progress let’s have our response to the State of the Union be given by a woman dressed like it’s the 60’s or 70’s in a kitchen! Sometimes I have to wonder if they’re deliberately clueless or if it is truly an expression of their nature and approach.

  25. They took a broodmare and pointed it at the camera backwards, so all that we heard were airy expulsions of bad gas.

  26. So, let me get this straight. The party that works to take rights away from women and believe they should be pregnant, barefoot, and in the kitchen, are mad because she gave her speech from a kitchen.

    Among other things.

  27. Her speech plus the photo that was posted online of “moms and dads just like you!” is such pandering and it’s so obvious. A white family in a pristine kitchen with the mother near tears about how horrible everything is ….. it’s so clear what they were trying to do. Trump has a women problem and this was an attempt to get those women on board. But it was all just so cringe.

  28. The GOP establishment are so overwhelmingly old, straight, and white, that they will immediately platform literally any Republican with a different identity, from Palin to Bobby Jindal to Marco Rubio to Herschel Walker (plus pundits like Milo Yinnopoulis and Candace Owens). That’s how desperate they are to rebut accusations that they’re sexist, racist, or homophobic. So as long as these new faces are willing to 100% tow the GOP line, they instantly get thrust out in front of cameras before anyone bothers to check if they are an idiot, a lunatic, or an on-camera trainwreck… which they inevitably are, if they’re willing to be a mouthpiece for the modern rightwing agenda.

  29. A whispery and nasally baby voice + lies, I just can’t.

  30. This isn’t meant to be personal slight or “shaming,” but her Botox regimen affected her delivery

    It’s amazing how micro expressions on a human’s forehead, eyebrows, and areas around the eyes can quickly communicate a mood or feeling. But when those muscles are essentially paralyzed, the ability to visually emote disappears.

    Since she could barely move so many facial muscles, her only way to really express feeling was with dramatic swings in voice intonation. Couple these swings in mood and tone with a nearly-frozen – though at times smiling – face and it triggers alarm bells in our minds because her facial expressions don’t match her voice – something we’re evolutionarily accustomed to expecting

  31. She sounded manic and in need of hospitalization.

  32. “I’m a woman. In my kitchen. And I’m afraid. And so is my son, Ridgewallet.”

  33. 😂funny because this is exactly the disgusting Republicans I know 🤷‍♀️
