A chaotic G-7 Summit

A chaotic G-7 Summit


It began with Joe Biden awkwardly kissing Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on the forehead, seemingly sniffing her hair and then saluting her as he shuffled off. Later during a power shoot, Biden began wandering around and as people looked on uncomfortably, Italy's Prime Minister escorted him back to the group. When it was time for his little joint speech wit Ukraine leader Zelinsky, Joe got distracted by a plane flying overhead. After making a mockery of his own speech, Biden accepted questions from 4 designated reporters. (2 from the US and 2 from Ukraine) He got angry at one reporter from Bloomberg who actually dared to ask a question that was off script. Reporters were evidently only supposed to ask questions approved by the Biden White House.


The only issue that Biden felt was pressing was his little proxy war with Russia. After sleepwalking Ukraine in the beginning, Joe seems prepared to allow Ukraine to have anything they ask for as he puts handcuffs on Israel. Still no word from anyone on US hostages. Thus far $174 billion has gone to Ukraine and $12.5 billion has gone to Israel. For the radical base which runs the democrat party and Joe Biden, nothing should be given to Israel. Those are the people that hate the American system, the country and its people.

Biden demanded abortion be included in the language:


"Under a tentative agreement, this year’s language will not explicitly mention the word abortion, which Meloni may count as a win. However, it will restate the G-7’s endorsement of last year’s agreement, which did use that term. It will also say that the G-7 leaders support universal health-care access for women, including comprehensive sexual and reproductive health rights.

Biden’s aides said the explicit reiteration of support for last year’s communiqué — issued when the leaders met in Hiroshima, Japan — will amount to a broad international embrace of abortion rights.

“The president felt very strongly that we needed to have at the very least the language that references what we did in Hiroshima on women’s health and reproductive rights,” said a senior administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing talks. “The communiqué will have, will reiterate, the commitment made in Hiroshima.”

That is why Joe Biden must be voted out of office.

Meanwhile former President Trump was warmly greeted on Capitol Hill.

The GOP is united at long last.

I think Meloni won on the language.

The American people will win when they remove Biden.

One thing I heard yesterday is that Biden has the highest approval rating among most of those leaders. Many of them could be gone from the next meeting.

  • Biden's 37% approval rating positively sparkles next to Canadian PM Justin Trudeau (30%), German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (25%), U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak (25%), French President Emmanuel Macron (21%) and Japanese PM Fumio Kishida (13%), per Morning Consult's   tracker .

We are at the point where nothing these people say about Biden can be trusted.  They are in the "at all costs" mode because they know how mentally and morally unfit Trump is to lead the nation.  RNC Research , a twitter group, is an official arm of the Trump campaign.

He took a couple steps to give some soldiers the "thumbs up" sign. 

Meloni didnt put her hands on him because he was "wandering". She was ready to line them all up for the group picture and Bidens back was turned, and she wanted to let him know they were lining up for the photo. 

For gods sake man, get a grip.

As Meloni starts to organize the group photo she notices that Biden has his back turned and goes to him and takes his arm to let him know it is time for the picture. The other world leaders still have not faced the camera for the group photo. This is exactly 10 seconds after Meloni noticed the camera man was ready.

The problem is that the GOP has put forth a convicted felon who is the only PotUS in our history to try to steal a presidential election through fraud, coercion, lying, and incitement.

One should take that into consideration.   Instead we tend to see GOP loyalists ignore everything bad by Trump and absurdly exaggerate every action by Biden.

Let's not be ridiculous. This is right-winger added commentary. Apparently, people have parachuted down and landed and are folding their chutes. President Biden is giving a thumbs up to somebody or some group of people out of frame, and finally a lady (not sure whom she is) let's him know (like unscripted events do happen at any occasion for any of us) there is something else the leaders are focused on in the moment; maybe a(nother) round of camera shots.

This OBSESSION with trying to make old people look more older or even sickly than is routine is now the expected norm for insensitive some MAGAs. This. . .will carry on through November, I guess. Of course, it is not the 'job' of some MAGAs to point out the failings of their own leader (who I am sure is somewhere lying his backside off, because well he is a proliferating liar). That is why liberals have to point out his deficiencies. 

Alas, the game continues.

We have two elderly mature candidates this year. . . and that's the way it is. Like it or lump it. We all will watch one or the other ELDERLY PRESIDENTS age farther in office.

Why not just admit that he is totally spaced out there. If the DNC decides to convince him to quit the ticket, will you still be defending him? I don't think so.

Here's the Sun's political editor:

evealing the growing concerns in diplomatic circles, Sun political editor Harry Cole told our Never Mind the Ballots show: “He ducked out for dinner last night… But my sources, diplomatic sources here, say it is the worst they’ve ever seen Joe Biden, and he’s in a bad way.
***
“He was wandering around, he sort of wandered off and Giorgia Meloni, the Italian premier had to sort of guide him back to the crowd. It was quite painful viewing.

“Everyone’s putting a slight brave face on it this morning. We’ve got some more for that for the paper tomorrow. But you can see from that footage yourself, can’t you?

“This is getting embarrassing now. It makes you really wonder how President Biden is going to be able to run an election campaign in October and November for re election and if that is a man who really thinks he’s going to get through the next four years?”

As this person noted, we've seen that look before.

https://x.com/jj_talking/status/1801321218832011755

Just keep pretending Joe has so much energy his 30 year old staffers can't keep up with him (but only when there are no camera's around, of course)

There's literally no amount of evidence that will convince the true believes that a 78 year old man is slipping mentally.

Remember how the media treated a relatively youthful Bob Dole in 96? Funny to look back on some of those clips, given the current media cheerleading.

Of course it does;  but you (of course) miss the point.

Vic spoke of voting out Biden so I noted that the problem with voting out Biden is that gives Trump the presidency.   Follow the context.  

Since you misrepresented what I wrote, here it is again (read it in context of the comment to which I replied):

TiG @3.4.28 ☞ The problem is that the GOP has put forth a convicted felon who is the only PotUS in our history to try to steal a presidential election through fraud, coercion, lying, and incitement.   One should take that into consideration.   Instead we tend to see GOP loyalists ignore everything bad by Trump and absurdly exaggerate every action by Biden.

One cannot vote out Biden without voting in a convicted felon and traitor who is the only PotUS to attempt to steal a presidential election.

Some won't vote for Trump because of it and some don't think it raises up to voting for Joe.  And some will vote party because they don't like what the other party is doing to the country.

Yes, some will vote party no matter what.   Even if that means putting Trump (felon, traitor, irresponsible, loose-cannon, narcissist, asshole) back in office.

People see these videos.  And they are truly bad, but  the refusal of so many progressives  and their captive media  to acknowledge the reality of the issue makes them so much more damaging.   The overwhelming majority of Americans see them on social media and are horrified, while the  true believers just live in some alternate reality where these videos are all hoaxes.

then they get angry and confused when they see trump is winning in states where he has no business winning, like Virginia and Minnesota.

I was thinking the other day about all the hell Murdoch is creating in this country (and others).

A succinct answer as to why someone would think that voting for a candidate so obviously addled, for whatever reason, is their choice. Given the choices we have, I don't think letting the blind lead the blind is gonna be popular. Even if the "other" is the anti-christ...

The choices are set.   It is either Trump or Biden.   That is it.   Barring an extraordinary event, one of those two will be PotUS.

If you see a difference between the two in terms of what is best for the nation, then consider voting for the better of the two.   Seems like a very rational way to vote.

Those who cannot discern a difference are not paying attention ... at all.

One can always not vote for either but in doing so one is letting others decide which of the two is better for the nation.

Biden is not hired for his steps. He is hired for his 'big brain' coupled with his empathy for all the citizenry.

BTW, the great FDR served as president  with polio  ravishing his body. He served three terms and developed other chronic maladies: like reduced lung capacity (probably from all the prior presidential years of standing up with the aid of others and steel braces). 

How FDR Became the First—And Only—President to Serve Four Terms
Before the 22nd Amendment, presidents could run for more than two terms—but only FDR managed to win more than two consecutive elections.

Indeed, FDR is the reason why there is a cap on presidential terms of two-terms. He being a disabled America too!

The Democrat Presidential  candidate is consistently behind in polling for the first time since 2004, and is somehow losing to a convicted felon with major, disqualifying issues of his own.

The idea that Biden isn't a massive, massive disaster of a candidate with major flaws that  could easily encompass those adjectives is just silly. He's losing to Trump because he's at least as flawed as he is.   There must be some major psychological issue that prevents his supporters from seeing how Biden is viewed by most Americans.

Appropriations: FY2022

On May 28, 2021 , the Joseph R. Biden Administration released its annual budget request for FY2022 , including a $90.80 billion budget request for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) . The request included $53.99 billion in adjusted net discretionary appropriations and $18.80 billion in disaster relief-designated funds.

This was $1.11 billion more than was enacted for DHS in FY2021 , although those FY2021 annual appropriations also included $840 million in emergency funding to cover U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) fee shortfalls not included in the total.

What are Trump's positive characteristics?   Not imagined accomplishments (e.g. Trump will produce the greatest economy, will solve all the world's problems, etc.) but real, demonstrable, personal qualities that intelligent individuals can rationally discuss.

Does he have any personal characteristics that are admirable?   I guess maybe not drinking is one.   Anything else?

Biden requested billions for Customs and Border Protection funding

So far, the Biden administration has submitted budget requests to Congress for fiscal years  2022  and  2023 .

PolitiFact found that funding requests for Customs and Border Protection under the Biden and Trump administrations are comparable.

Requests under Biden’s tenure don’t show that the administration is trying to tear down the agency .

Over the Trump administration’s four years, funding requests for Customs and Border Protection averaged $15.5 billion a year.

Over the Biden administration’s two years, funding requests for the agency averaged $15 billion a year.

Ultimately, Congress determines how much money goes to executive agencies .

For fiscal year 2022 , the Democratic-controlled Congress appropriated $16.5 billion for the agency, a higher budget than the four enacted under Trump .

How so? Hillary conceded in less than 24 hours.  Then she pretty much disappeared for a few years. She bitched off and on and wrote in a book that the election was stolen.  Trump's most recent trial pretty much proved that his dream team was involved in dirty tricks which influenced the election.

Any prosecutor has to determine if he can win a case, if the case is important enough or if the crime deliberate.

Hur determined that Biden, ( like Mike Pence) had cooperated fully and was just too much like Mr. Rogers,

a likeable sympathetic figure he would never get 12 people to convict a year or 5 years down the road since

we cannot drag a sitting POTUS into court.

All attempts to impeach Biden so far have failed because most people in Congress realize the same thing

… and her party in Congress tried to "overturn the election" by challenging the certification in Congress.

Yet another extremely hyperbolic claim.   The reality is that Rep Lee and a few others attempted to challenge the electoral counts in 2016 but VP Biden shut her down since no D senator would support her motion.   

And you compare this to Trump’s Big Lie con-job where he attempted to steal the election through fraud, coercion, lying, and incitement.

A feeble motion by a few reps killed by the Ds in general at its inception compared to a multi-month campaign of unconstitutional / illegal actions by the sitting PotUS.

Besides as a prosecutor, Mr. Hur inserted into an official record that questionable verbiage that may have been superfluous. The one about 'doddering and old' (paraphrase) Why did he insert it? More importantly, who was his audience that needed a 'permanent' explanation of why he couldn't and wouldn't be charging Biden?

Because he could have easily have told that 'line' to that audience, but he wanted it to be permanent (as if so they could argue with the report and leave him out of it).

It was a lawsuit to force a recount...

her campaign tried to get electors to flip their votes,

It was Christine Pelosi, several Hollywood personalities and liberal activists, but not Clinton

and her party in Congress tried to "overturn the election" by challenging the certification in Congress.

It wasn't the party, it was the electors themselves that tried to rebel against the Electoral College and get Republicans to follow suit by throwing their votes to Kasich, Collin Powell or Ron Paul.

Although several faithless electors voted for Kasich, Powell and Paul, more fled Clinton by also voting for Powell or Spotted Eagle or Berni Sanders.

House Democrats Did challenge the certification 11 times as allowed by the House Rules

and then VP Biden gaveled them down for not having the appropriate signatures.

Eight Senate Republicans, and 139 House Republicans, voted against fully certifying President Joe Biden’s electoral victory on Jan. 6. Those who spoke with NBC News defended their official objections, which took place the same day as the deadly riot at the Capitol. GOP senators who voted against certifying 2020 election say they have no regrets (nbcnews.com)

The DOJ confirmed that the DNC was indeed hacked by the Russians.

The remarkable timing of the Russian attempt on Clinton’s servers is just one of the new details revealed in the indictment of 12 Russian military intelligence officers, who Mueller alleges hacked the email accounts and computers of Democratic officials and organizations in an audacious effort to influence the U.S. election.

Although the broad outlines of the hacking and influence campaign have been widely reported, the indictment describes for the first time the identities, techniques and tactics of the operation to disrupt American democracy.

Except that Mueller did not prove there was no collusion despite Bill Barr's interpretation of it.

Special counsel Robert Mueller did not absolve President Donald Trump of "collusion" with Russia in his 448-page report of his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, despite Attorney General William Barr's insisting that he did.

Mueller wrote that his team chose to evaluate the actions of the Trump campaign and administration "not under the rubric of 'collusion'" but rather whether the administration had "conspired" to break the law.

Mueller said that while his team saw the term "collusion" pop up frequently in official Trump administration memorandums—either by the president himself and in public reports— "collusion is not a specific offense or theory of liability found in the U.S. Code; nor is it a term of art in federal criminal law. To the contrary, even as defined in legal dictionaries, collusion is largely synonymous with conspiracy as that crime is set forth in the general federal conspiracy statute.

"For that reason, this Office's focus in resolving the question of joint criminal liability was on conspiracy as defined in federal law, not the commonly discussed term 'collusion.'" The only other references to "collusion" in the body of the report quote the president, his surrogates and former FBI Director James Comey.

But in a Thursday morning press conference, Attorney General William Barr repeated the president's "no collusion" line   five times in 22 minutes .

"After finding no underlying collusion with Russia, the Special Counsel's report goes on to consider whether certain actions of the President could amount to obstruction of the Special Counsel's investigation," said Barr.

...

The Mueller report does not exonerate the president. Although the term "exonerate" appears three times in Mueller's report, the word is used to say " while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him."

" while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him."

Except your link is from the section of the Report dealing with obstruction, not collusion with Russia. It misleadingly makes it appear that Mueller was discussing the collusion allegations when discussing exoneration.  When it came to actual collusion with Russia, the Report concluded the "The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."
