Did anyone else here notice that throughout Pres. Biden's address to the nation

[MarineCombatEngineer]

that not once did he refer to Putin as Pres. Putin? Not once, which is a huge slap at Putin.

Good job Pres. Biden in calling out, in very blunt terms, Putin's illegal invasion.

[Mme. Defarge]

1. Good catch!

😎

[chocolatpi]

2. K&R, President Biden is doing a fine job. n/t

[Nevilledog]

3. Nobody should.

Calling him President gives him the appearance of being democratically elected. He wasn't.

[Caliman73]

11. What? He got 97% of the vote... that is super elected.

just in case. Funny how all of the dictators in that region settle on 97%, like they can't say 100% or THAT is far fetched.

[lunatica]

27. It gives them an excuse to

kill off that 3% of enemies to the state. Putin likes to do that.

[Irish_Dem]

4. Everyone has treated Putin like a legit world leader.

Time to treat him like the ruthless mobster that he is.

[Mr.Bill]

8. Be careful,

sometimes we elect ruthless mobsters to be our president.

Right now Tucker Carlson would vote for him. So would Trump.

[wnylib]

10. Nah, Trump would only vote for himself.

[Mr.Bill]

14. Yeah, but Trump is already serving his second term (according to him)

so he's not eligible to run again.

[oldsoftie]

28. According to a LOT of damn fools too.

I just can't get out of them why he's not issuing any orders if he's really still in charge

[thucythucy]

35. And the world should have treated him as such.

I know it's not practical, but seeing other leaders meet with him and treat him as on a par with other American presidents really bothered me.

Of course, they did laugh in his face at the UN. And Merkel was always good for an implied face palm whenever she had to deal with You Know Coup.

I cherished those moments.

[srose58089]

5. Did not notice

Thanks for pointing out

[LiberalFighter]

6. Media should do the same.

[Rebl2]

9. Exactly

[lpbk2713]

7. Trump would call him "Buddy".

[Boomerproud]

23. Even Un looks surprised at the deference shown by ...

Why didn't the Democrats have this photo on billboards for crying out loud! Pitiful.

[Evolve Dammit]

30. JHC What a dangerous incompetent orange buffoon. They are all laughing at his ignorance.

[lpbk2713]

33. That's a collective WTF Moment.

[bedazzled]

38. Master!!

[IronLionZion]

12. Vlad the invader, Putin the pillager, rusPutin

[FakeNoose]

17. Pootie is good for me

[IronLionZion]

25. Pootie Patootie

[appalachiablue]

20. +1 !!

[DENVERPOPS]

13. The Republicans

have been doing that to Biden since he was elected..........

[MarineCombatEngineer]

15. Ayup,

but the difference is that Pres. Biden was legitimately elected whereas, Putin wasn't and doesn't deserve the title of President and Pres. Biden refusing to address him as Pres. is a huge diplomatic slap.

[gratuitous]

16. I'd bet a shiny nickel

Nobody had to write on President Biden's prep sheet "DO NOT CONGRATULATE" only to have him disregard the note.

[getagrip_already]

18. before tfg, he was routinely referred to as mr. putin

by various administrations.

It's long past time to return to that salutation.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

19. I wouldn't even add the Mr.,

just keep hammering the lack of Pres. title, in diplomatic terms, it's a huge insult to Putin.

[jaxexpat]

21. Okay, but I'm pretty sure he said "pig-fucker", at least once, about somebody, but......

that could have been to that Douche boy.

[C OH Dem]

22. Ever notice

that a lot of the American press refer to President Biden as "Mr. Biden"?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

24. Yes, and that could be considered a form of respect,

in Vietnam, we used to call the VC, Charlie, while we called the NVA, Mr. Charles, because we respected the NVA, but not the VC.

[FakeNoose]

26. It's not disrespectful for the media to call him "Mr. Biden"

They don't always say "President Biden" when they speak about him.

But when they address him directly, they usually say "Mr. President."

[reACTIONary]

29. I think the protocol...

... is to first refer to him as president and then as mr in the rest of the article.

[Evolve Dammit]

31. How about just plain "murderer"? Seems to be the best description/ title?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

32. Agree. nt

[live love laugh]

34. Dictator Putin.

[bdamomma]

36. So glad

we have President Biden there in the WH for this crime that Putin sort on himself.

[Pluvious]

37. I would love to see Biden call him Russia's Dictator nt.
