Biden assembled a group of outside Russia experts -- including former Trump officials . . .

. . . to prepare for his meeting with Vladimir Putin.

Joe's doing his homework and not winging it! He listens to everyone. He is well prepared, just as I expect from him.

1. Grown ups are back

"The group urged Biden not to hold a joint press conference with Putin or afford him any
opportunity to try to upstage the private talks with new public proposals."

I hope President Joe gets some info from Malcom Nance too.

2. Among the group of Biden briefers was Fiona Hill

Among the group of Biden briefers was Fiona Hill, a former National Security Council official who once said she considered feigning a medical emergency to cut short that news conference with Putin.

3. Most prepared President ever

Love hearing this, Joe laves nothing to chance, he wants to be as prepared as humanly possible for everything.

5. He also needs an expert on psychopathic & narcissistic behavior. Putin

mockingly laughed several times during his NBC interview as he continues to gaslight. It is his way to diminish and mock the truth. When asked about this, Biden laughed & said "I'm laughing too" as a way to counter. Dealing with a psychopath is a learned event. I found, after way too many years, that laughing back did not work (but it was a start). Being serious & returning to the truth and disengaging from the mockery was more effective. Disengaging also helps because it allowed for more empathy and patience on my part.
