Should Joe Biden deliver the State of the Union Address from the White House?

I agree, but I would argue for a bulletproof shield, just to let the fuckers know he doesn't trust them for a second.
Biden wouldn't do that. I suspect there will be a lot of snipers just waiting for a hit.

He should give it in front of congress as standard. the SS need to put in place any protocols/procedures to ensure his safety. Much like all POTUS events all over the country and the world.
Not my President but Biden should restore tradition and give the SOTU in congress.
Otherwise the gun club wins.
Biden is the President of the United States and should not allow his authority to be undermined by thugs and cowards.
Anyway, no one is going to assassinate either him or Harris. It's one thing to shoot your mouth off for the benefit of the "faithless" another to actually put their money where their mouths are and get gunned down by security. That would involve principles.

"Restore"? What has changed about how a POTUS delivers a SOTU Address that President Biden needs to "restore"?

Yeah, well the hammer might kill him too. After he's pres.

Assassins shoot Joe and Kamala. Hopefully the SS shoots the assassins. Shooting stops. What could would anyone do about it?

The one or two sane Repubs left in the House, plus the far-right whackjobs who hate him, join the Dems to vote to impeach President McCarthy and the Senate convicts him, after which he is tossed head-first into the dustbin of history and forgotten.

Maybe in one of the parallel universes. Republicans demonstrated they could act in unison with the vote expelling Omar. I am sure they could get together to protect President McCarthy's position, especially knowing how he would bend to their will.

I am sure Congress will act responsibly during the speech.

Possibly. The scenario I suggested is one likely outcome, dunno if it's the likeliest. For example, the trumpalos in Congress acted to limit McCarthy's power just now, but 2 years ago they were all in favor of aggrandizing Trump's power and cutting their own throats. Who know WTF they'll do in a couple of weeks? Not I, and not themselves either!

If Biden and Harris were both assassinated, would there be any realistic way of blocking President McCarthy? It's a good question.

Sure, after there's been an impeachment and a 2 year investigation. Anything is possible.
