6. Was that really her? Katie Bratt? Or satire?

It made me chuckle. So overly dramatic, it was funny.

I watched and loved President Biden's SOTU, but didn't see the Republican response.

Please tell me that wasn't Ms. Bratt.

...I had to mute her multiple times. Each time I unmuted, I was almost immediately nauseated again. Lie after lie after lie, with forced affectation after forced affectation. Let's hope she isn't the future of the GOP.

Damn, with Tuberbille and Britt, Alabama is in really poor shape.

Young woman from Alabama getting her first big national showcase. She was probably terrified. I saw about 40 seconds of it and just wasn't in the mood for more. She was talking about a Democratic party I didn't recognize, a President I didn't recognize, and an economy I didn't recognize.

Biden did Just FINE, thank you very much. I didn't need to see any more from anybody else.

She was one of those hyper-ambitious kids who ran for SGA or any elected position possible with a zeal that puzzled her more well-adjusted classmates. We all knew someone like that growing up and most of us were rightfully a little leery of them.

14. She sure came off that way, though.

Really overplayed it. Not to mention describing both the Republicans and Democrats completely wrong. The picture she tried to paint did NOT match or reflect reality as we see or live it.

the vast majority of those who surround me share Britt's perspectives. That includes average citizens, civic leaders, business owners. If you want gainful employment down here, you toe the line and keep your trap shut.
