Another Democrat (putative party of the people) who openly declares his love for capitalism. No wonder Biden hired him.
Time to finish this, Joe. It’ll piss off the Republicans besides being the right thing to do. It’s a twofer.
Brakes slow down trains, but we want trains to go fast. It’s so simple folks. /S

The Palestinian-backed draft resolution was the subject of frantic talks by senior Biden administration officials including Secretary of States Antony Blinken with Palestinian, Israeli and United Arab Emirates leaders. Those discussions culminated in a deal Sunday to forego it in favor of a weaker presidential statement that is not legally binding, according to multiple diplomats familiar with the situation.
No surprise there. Disgustingly enough.
Out-of-context snapshots aren’t much of a gotcha. And going in person to meet with Zelensky is both good optics and good politics.
Now if we can just get Biden to do the same with Yemen and the Palestinians…
No, I won’t hold my breath…
It’s nice to see that the young man has a good role model.
Seems like he’s kind of mocking a president of a country in an active war zone there… I’m not mad at Zelensky for not dressing up for the event, and I’m not sure why it’s mock worthy, honestly?
I think I said in another thread, that these things are always kind of weird and awkward, even when everyone is in their sunday best. It’s the formality that I think is really weird, not the clothing.
Yeah. As I said, what interested me is that the optics mightve been thought out better.
As for mockery of them, these two guys are just humans, not gods. I think they’d be okay with a bit of ribbing about less than perfect optics.
Sure… Might have gone better mocking gramps rather than the guy who easily could have fled the country but decided to stay despite the risks to him and his family. Biden was doing his smoozy bit the whole time he was there… I find that far funnier to mock…
Of course Zelensky is himself a comic, so I’m sure he’s aware of what people can make of him, as he used to do the same.
Zelenskyy probably doesn’t have access to the kind of stylish, bespoke bulletproof suits that Uncle Joe does.
Yeah for me I’m not really sure what is so bad about how it looks, I feel like the commentary is putting a really heavy and ironic read on it based on their ages.
But they are different kinds of leaders under different circumstances brought together by war… or that’s how the picture reads to me…
