Biden needs to lead...NOW!

[Anonymous]

He’s wandering the halls, talking to portraits of other presidents. When they don’t answer him, he takes offense and asks them if they wanna step outside and settle things like men.

More like gave England a bit of saved face. And I'd say 'stabbed' is a bit of a overreaction. France had signed that deal in 2016 and still hadn't produced suitable assets in 2021. On top of the fact that our technology was superior.

It would be like the Australia being offered a six-months late shipment of Dell computers from France and the U.S. said 'hey we've got enough Apple for you that we can send it tomorrow and it won't breakdown for 30+ years'.

Simply makes strategic sense - from a military perspective and a economic perspective. Although I'm sure we'll make up the insult to the French somehow.

And, like everything else the past 8 months, Biden handled it poorly.
I truly cannot think of one thing he has handled well.

Covid. As a resident of a non-red state I approve.

From a FP perspective though watching Biden move is amusing. He's not dumb like Trump. To put it crudely, he's skipping the foreplay and going straight for the action.

People forget - Biden was Chair/Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations committee since 1997. So he's seen it all. Met with thousands of dignitaries. Known every U.K. Prime Minister since Edward Heath in 1972 (Thatcher didn't even show up until 1979) and every French President since Pompidou.

He knows where he can push and where he can slide. He also knows that if you want to accomplish something via normal diplomatic channels *you send Ambassador A to meet with Minister B then Undersecretary A places a call to B then a year later you actually have face to face meetings between the heads of state who agree to C but Country D objects and wants to be brought in with E*. It's whatever. It would take years.

In 8 months by brushing aside the foreplay if you will, ordering his foreign team to set out the contracts, and move on - we've gotten out of Afghanistan and signed a multilateral deal with Australia.

This is just stuff Biden wants to get off his desk before he gets to meatier plans of substance. I have to wonder what he has up his sleeve next.

That doesn’t mean he remembers any of it. He is deteriorating and sadly, the WH is nothing more but a daycare for seniors at this point.

McConnell is a year older than Biden. Maybe he's deteriorating as well and sadly, the GOP Senate is nothing more than a daycare for seniors at this point?

If that's the case -- why did all of the 2021 GOP signal complete support in McConnell's continued leadership as a 79-year-old? Even in the face of Trump's ire?

McConnell is fine and sharp as a tack. Sadly, the same cannot be said for Joe.
Even Bernie Sanders who is 2 years older than Biden could run circles around him.

Aww just admit you don’t like Biden because he won’t appease Republican sentiments. The GOP has no idea how good they had it under Obama. He spent far too much time as the GOP punching bag fighting off ludicrous conspiracy theories like that Birther nonsense. Biden doesn’t even acknowledge your crackpot theories exist.

Biden doesn't acknowledge much of anything...... Short term memory loss is a thing for him.

Hey, “lifelong Democrat” OP. This is where your “I’m just asking questions do we have to march in lockstep?!?” post ended up. Republicans trashing Biden with absolute nonsense for which they have zero evidence. It’s exactly what you wanted.

Yeah......

What was the press corp expecting from a candidate who campaigned from his basement, took interviews from only friendly "journalists," has a ready list of reporters he is "allowed" to call on, and who has repeatedly walked away from press conferences without taking a single question?
His handlers clearly don't want him interacting with the media.

Yawn.Let us know when he calls them enemy of the state.

Since he is not allowed to speak to the media publicly, that will likely not happen.

Yet, here we have one of his handlers... Kate Bedingfield - flat out lying......

What a laughingstock.

No matter how people want to spin it, Biden's administration is deliberately ignoring the press, or controlling them to avoid having to answer unpopular or insensitive questions - which are mounting up daily. This is directly against the spirt of a democratic society.

If Trump had done this, you'd be screaming from the top of his lungs that he was a fascist dictator, because this kind of press treatment is closer to what you find in dictatorships rather than a free democracy. The joint Biden-Boris Johnson viewing only shows the deep hypocrisy in the Democrats' tolerance of the White House's press relationship as well as the press's willingness to succumb to it.

Which, of course, they'd never have done if Trump was still president.... ya know

No wonder why Biden's polling is cratering badly. His administration is effectively becoming what the Democrats always accused Trump of doing but which he never actually did....

+1,000
Nailed it.

OMG! She is so painfully smug - Johnson doesn't need to let them know he'll be taking questions from the British press - or *any* press. This administration is so transparent. They're desperate to keep Biden from speaking if he doesn't absolutely have to.

Making Biden look like he has dementia and can’t take questions like other leaders is good for people to see.

...if Putin had took questions from the press in the Oval Office you would have been calling for any President's head - Bush, Obama, it doesn't matter.

As men like to say 'A man's home is his castle' and a foreign leader, especially one of minuscule importance like the U.K., does not get to dictate how the terms are set in our Oval Office.

That is why Boris got his ass spanked in Afghanistan and if he doesn't stop - won't get his coveted free trade deal until after the 2024 elections.

DP. What on earth are you babbling about? What does Putin have to do with Johnson - our ally and dear friend? Have a look at just some examples of Trump "allowing" a foreign leader to take questions from the Oval Office.

At about 24:50, Prime Minister Khan starts taking questions.
