President Joe Biden’s Thursday performance at the annual State of the Union did more than prompt pundits to replace his “Sleepy Joe” appellation with a new nickname: “Jacked-up Joe.”
It also pumped up donations at a faster pace than this campaign has ever seen, according to a news release from the Democratic candidate’s presidential campaign. The $10 million take in the 24 hours following Biden’s address to Congress is the largest haul of the campaign so far, according to a news release from his campaign.
“Ten million dollars in 24 hours. To quote the boss, that’s a BFD,” said Biden-Harris 2024 Campaign Manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez in a prepared statement.
The campaign reports that Biden’s fundraising bonanza followed a week of historic fundraising milestones, including:
— February being the fourth consecutive month the campaign has broken its previous record —despite last month having one or two days less than most months.
— Raising $1.5 million online on Super Tuesday, as President Joe Biden became the all-but-inevitable Democratic presidential nominee as former President Donald Trump did on the Republican side. That made it one of the top-performing days since the campaign began.
— Breaking a one-hour online fundraising record for three hours in a row during the State of the Union.
Supporters are hailing Biden’s speech as a defiant rejoinder to widespread speculation about his age. There’s been much discussion that, at 81 years old, the President is too old for a bruising re-election campaign, let alone holding the office of President.
For 68 minutes in the House chamber, Biden chided Republicans about their policies on immigration, taxes and abortion rights. He went off the script, sometimes ad-libbing with off-the-cuff comments that called out Supreme Court justices, Sen. Lindsey Graham and Snickers bars.
“The President’s State of the Union address reminded so many of our supporters who is fighting for them, and the stakes of this election for our freedoms, our rights, and our democracy,” Chavez Rodriguez said.
“We send our condolences to the other guy and his flailing, poor campaign,” she added, referencing the all-but-inevitable Republican presidential nominee. “Turns out attacking women’s rights, cutting taxes for the rich, and attacking American democracy isn’t exactly a winning message.”

Good evening America,
STAND BY FOR SAGE NEWS:
Despite being overly medicated to within an inch of his life 8iden still came across as “Totally Un-Electable”.
My own “Sage Polling” indicates 50% of all registared Democrats will “Secertly” vote for Trump keeping it a secret from their family, friends, and co-workers.
Thank you America,

earl, biden done such a great job with his speech performance that i’m sure you’re on board now. i hope you don’t get too cheap with the size of your campaign check. i’ve already made a few dem contributions, but i’m sure i’ll end up making more . biden has to win for the future of our country. earl, i bet it hurt your ego bad when a guy your age made such a glib and energetic speech, and you can’t even tie a few words together without saying dook or sphincter. yeah i bet it hurts to be showed up so badly by one of your peers. biden is not quite enough to the left for me, but for sake of the country, i’m glad he’s going to win. i’m amazed at how well he has done in just 3 years. loose that brow, and smile.

Good evening America,
STAND BY FOR A REALITY CHECK:
Let’s unravel the fabric of absurdity weaved by our friend Earl Pitts, the “man you can trust,” with his “Sage Polling” wisdom. Earl posits a world where 50% of registered Democrats have decided to embark on a covert mission, secretly voting for Trump, while navigating their daily lives in a cloak of silence. A fascinating narrative, indeed.
But let’s pivot to the realm of the tangible, shall we? We’re talking about a scenario where Joe Biden, despite being “overly medicated to within an inch of his life” and branded as “Totally Un-Electable,” somehow remains unscathed by accusations that make soap operas pale in comparison. We’re looking at a counterpart who, in an alternate universe, lost to someone with a staggering 91 felony counts across four indictments, barred from charities for his philanthropic sleight of hand, and juggling almost half a billion in judgments against him. Not to mention a colorful personal life that reads more like a tabloid frenzy, involving a third marriage and a series of… let’s call them indiscretions, including a rather public liaison with a porn star during a rather sensitive family time.
Yet, according to Earl and his “Sage Polling,” this is the man whom half the Democratic electorate is supposedly pining for in secret. Intriguing.
So, dear Trump supporters, as we stand amidst these claims, I’m curious—how does this narrative sit with you? Because from where the rest of us are standing, it seems we’re not just on different pages; we’re reading entirely different books. And for those secretly harboring a Trump vote while sipping their morning coffee or nodding along to Biden’s policies, perhaps it’s time to reflect on the credibility of these clandestine confessions versus the stark reality we’re all living in.
Thank you, America, for tuning into reality,
JD, “A Voice of Reason in a World of Fiction”

Thank you both, Rick & JD,
Your wackey leftist contrarian comentary to my golden nuggetts of “Sage Wisdom” always serves to drive the truthful “truth” of my political facts home to America’s Greatfull Citizenary.
I, Earl Pitts American, will be greatfull for both of your upcoming Trump votes and your “Secret” is safe with me. By hideing your Trump vote you both can still run with your perverse lefty friends while secure in the knowledge you both averted WWIII by your Trump votes.
As you both “Scream At The Sky” and protest the next 4 years of the upcoming Trump Administration there will be that “Sage Sparkel” in both of your eyes knowing that your Trump vote “Saved The Planet” from the “Real Global Warming Of WWIII”.
You guys are the best,

Oh, Earl, bless your heart for casting us in the latest episode of “Earl Pitts American: Sage Wisdom Chronicles.” Your generous attribution of secret Trump votes to us – Rick and JD – is nothing short of a comedic masterpiece, wrapped in the foil of political satire.
Firstly, your heartwarming thank you note has us rolling in aisles of laughter, not from the “truthful ‘truth'” of your political facts but from the sheer audacity of your imagination. Claiming our clandestine support for Trump as a strategy to avert WWIII and “Save The Planet” from the “Real Global Warming Of WWIII” is a plot twist not even the best of soap operas could envisage.
And then, the grand salute to us, “UNDER-COVER” SAGE PATRIOTS, for our supposed secret service in voting Trump to save the world. It’s a narrative so fantastical, it might just win you an award in alternative fiction. But let’s not forget the “Sage Sparkle” in our eyes – it’s not from voting Trump; it’s from the tears of laughter your comments induce.
Your follow-up, a quick sage jab at JD for his apparent literary pilfering, is a delightful touch. Threatening court action over capital letters? Oh, Earl, your wit knows no bounds. It’s as if the ghost of Mark Twain himself has taken up residence in your keyboard.
Now, about that “hazing” for JD – the only hazing here is having to endure the mental gymnastics required to follow your train of thought. But fear not, for we are nimble gymnasts.
In the spirit of your “Sage Wisdom,” let us leave you with this: the only “clear and present danger” here is the risk of splitting our sides from too much laughter. And as for the truth and reality hurting – indeed, they do, Earl. But not nearly as much as realizing the joke’s been on you all along.
Thank you for the entertainment,
Rick and JD, “Wackey Lefty Contrarians” at your service.

We will tell your Beautiful Wives that we are going down to Florida for a “SAGE BUSINESS TRIP” and boys leave your wallets at home with your Beautiful Wives as this trips all on “Daddy Earl”!!!!!
You two guys are the Absloute Bestest of the Best!!!!!

Joe Biden could be laying on his back in a coffin and the zombies would still vote for that boob and that idiot Harris.

Nobody I know is happy about the choices but given that trump is the alternative, I’ll take weekend at bernies anytime and that’s what this election will come down to – pretty effing sad but we play the hand we’re dealt.

I would vote for Joe Biden anytime and anywhere, but NEVER for the idiot criminal running against him. Let’s support decency, caring for the people in our country and those we support against the evil dictatorships abroad. Let’s support normalcy instead of craziness and lies and conspiracy theories. Take our country back!

earl, the only thing undercover with you is an attempt for no one to see an 82 year old man like you naked. iv’e seen pictures of you, but none without clothes. i wonder if sphincters, or the lack of control of, is why you are so pervy and nutty. you are NOT funny, satirical, witty, or anything that requires that attention be taken away from sphincters. if anyone is looking for a nutty perv, i’ll let you know.
