President Joe Biden said "MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards" in a prime-time address to the nation Thursday, urging Americans to "stand up" to defend democracy and choose "whether to move forward or move backwards."
Biden warned that "equality and democracy are under assault," singling out the former president by name and his supporters who have denied the results of the 2020 presidential election. He called it his "duty to level with you to tell the truth" as he accused Trump's followers of "fanning the flames of political violence."

Talk about Hate speech! Gessshhh!
Sooo when is Ashton Kutcher coming out telling us “America…you’ve just been PUNKD” 🥲
this is not a punk my friend
@Totenkopf Grgdfhb really? I’d say the past year and a half would say otherwise 🤡🌎
@Jillian no hidden camera here its all real 😉
@Jillian- I would have laughed at that like 20 years ago.
Moral of Joe’s story: Let the false flag attacks begin!
@Gary McT Correct the Record controlled opposition detected. Hello fed boy!
@Diane Webb If successful it’ll make Uvalde look like a bake sale.
Going to take a wild guess you watch infowars like clockwork.
Yep, they’re afraid.
Clearly
Insane people do unpredictable things when scared. This administration is disturbing.
IT’S AFRAID! 😀
All the big guy needs now is a little mustache
And a human suit that fits…
Horns and pitch fork..Wifi and bluetooth need to be turned off if there is a debate with Biden so his ear piece will not receive any signal.
@K true dat
If they weren’t an issue for them, they wouldn’t have to demonize them by describing themselves
@Rauminen Great reference.
@Angel Dango I’m convinced the majority of the online comments are bots anyway
Since when is the US military supposed to be represented in such away…with such divisive rhetoric? We are supposed to be apolitical. I mean, jeezus…this looks straight outta Hitler’s playbook. Did anyone on the setup crew think about the optics??? All red and black, military silhouetted in the background. The negative optics are off the scale!
Rest assured, they gave a great deal of thought to the optics. I like that they chose the color red, because come November, they are going to being seeing a lot of it.
He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent.
This is a line from V for Vendetta
@Light Armor and rightly so
Yep it’s not V for Vendetta it’s B?
Remember when he said he would unite us? Guess that was a lie.
@Symbiote Sam the evictions moratorium technically violated the 3rd amendment, for one 🤷🏽♀️
One of many lies.
@Symbiote Sam the vaccination mandates violated article 2 of the president’s limitations, though he tried to work around it using Health and Safety, it started as an executive order and was seen, and ruled upon, as such.
@Ralph Malph You can copy and paste extremely well. Mommy must be so proud! In fact I bet she’s heading down to the basement with your hot pockets.
He’s a pathological liar that’s all you need to know.
Correct.
Summer of 2020…his buddies bailed out the arsonists and the rioters….we will NEVER forget.
Never again elect someone like this.
Selected not elected.. to do exactly what he’s doing right now.
“We’re in a battle for the soul of this nation.”
Joe is 100% correct here, he’s just on the side of the soulless..
@Primus Pilus boom
C’mon, man. That was four days ago.
Biden was elected?
Dividing America between every diaper change and shaking hands with ghost.
it must of been the ghost of a certain Austrian painter.
@Liam McCByrne A certain Austrian Painter with a taste for watercolorings of dogs maybe? A certain specific type of dog maybe?
Look at this background. This guy is literally going openly villain.
@W they’re probably thinking about their paychecks and retirement benefits like most government employees.
@Ashes nice try but not!!
@Ralph Malph Are you Ralph from The Simpsons?
@Ralph Malph Can you explain the reasoning behind that besides “tv said so”? Why the f*ck would you choose to support the establishment over someone who very clearly was an enemy of the establishment?
Imagine saying that after getting your opponent raided by FBI 😂
The fact he defended them proves that he knew about it the whole time
During the “Breaking News” I knew it would be just another, we thought we got you this time Trump moment.
Good point
He didn’t Trump appointed this FBI director after firing the last two
The Dems brought in a set designer from 1930s Germany. Truly terrifying
For real. This is unbelievable
heil biden
Backwards? The country has been going backwards for years 😂😂😂
Nice lil speech Joey
It’s sad when people watch not for the propaganda but to be impressed by the fact the president is still able to stand and speak words for more than 5 minutes.
@Erik No one knows Trump is out of office more than me. I miss DJT every time I stand before the cash register, pass a gas station, see the open borders, rising crime, and covid death count numbers You and Joe are responsible for this ship wreck.
Thought he wanted to unite us not separate us!! This is sickening
I couldn’t agree more. This man has to go
This guy lies. I still can’t think of one way that he made my life better being in office.
This was genuinely terrifying
How?
Because you’re finally being called out for your ridiculous yet dangerous fan boy cos play?
