Did you hear Pres. Biden's aside as he began remarks at the Jan. 6 observance?

[bigtree]

...chilling.

" (At the G-7 in February), I sat across from the Chancellor of Germany, and I said, "America's back."

"You know what the response was? Not a joke. "For how long? For how long?"


watch:

[Biophilic]

1. Ouch, but it's an f'ing good question.

[LiberalFighter]

2. Biden reported that back then.

Of course, we all need to be reminded.

[bigtree]

4. in his Joint Session address

"America is back," President Joe Biden proudly proclaimed in his April 28 Address to a Joint Session of Congress.

But, "You know what they say?" Biden continued, speaking of the "38-40" world leaders he had spoken to by then. "You know what they say? The comment I hear most of all from them? They say: 'We see America's back, but for how long? But for how long?'"

3. Until traitortrump and insurrectionists in Congress are jailed, no ally will trust us.

[jaxexpat]

13. That's right. Nothing less will do.

The goddamned DOJ has jerked and continues to jerk the American people around. They will not do the right thing here because they're in on it! They were and are the last hope and they know it. That's why they're not performing a single real thing except playing the waiting game. They'll throw up their hands when the time's ripe, "sorry, there was just nothin' we could do". Some may voice (in a decade or so) how they were afraid for their lives and the lives of their families.

19. Given what we can see on the horizon with DeSantis likely to replace Trump, I doubt any

world leader would trust us if he were elected. They already do not trust Republicans in Congress.

[bigtree]

[hibbing]

11. Getting death threats?

These shootings in NM, Threats against Republican election officials and against ANYONE who says anything negative about tfg, and now that's probably true for even being seen with President Biden.

Peace

[AllaN01Bear]

12. good question.

[Evolve Dammit]

10. "For How Long?" is a fucking astute question. We have millions who would be happy to burn it down.nt

[peppertree]

15. Plus Big Business and a politicized Fed willing to trigger a recession, to give them that chance

Like with Hitler, Pinochet, Franco, and so many like them - 'making the economy scream' was a big part of the plot to take over.

[Evolve Dammit]

16. I had not thought of that historically evil record. Thanks a lot....

[peppertree]

21. You're welcome

It is what it is.

[Evolve Dammit]

22. yep

[wnylib]

20. The market crash of 1929 and subsequent Great Depression

did help Hitler to gain followers. But he did not have a hand in causing the world wide financial crisis. He only took advantage of it after several years of trying to gain power prior to the crash.

[Martin68]

14. Trump has damaged our credibility as a nation. Our friends abroad want to believe we're "back," but

they know that could change in the next election if a Republican is elected. In the end, it's up to the American people to prove that we will only elect a government of sane, responsible individual who will make reliable international partners in the decades to come.

[lpbk2713]

17. A logical and understandable response.

Anyone who has ever been betrayed by a "friend" can relate.
Trump caused our country harm that will haunt us for years.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. Wonder why he said we were back? Last poll I saw

Had more people wanting Tax Cheeto to run again than for President Biden to. MAGATs everywhere. Repuke House. Ok just depressed myself

[Evolve Dammit]

23. I understand totally. Pour me a drink please

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. What do ya want?:)

[Evolve Dammit]

26. Surprise me! No Drambui or Creme de Menthe though...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

27. Lol.. rusty nail (has Drambuie) is what we used to

Order when we took the train to NYC, underaged. Yuck. There was a bar in Grand Central that we knew would serve underageders But drizzle of creme de menthe in an Irish coffee? Too much,?

[Evolve Dammit]

30. You could probably twist my arm!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

31. After long deliberation... Decided on this.. Mojito with fresh mint

[Evolve Dammit]

32. OMGosh. And I'm sucking on a PBR.... That is a beautiful adult beverage!

[Hekate]

25. He told us about it when it happened. He knows it to be true -- and so do we.

[bigtree]

28. he expanded on the moment in his speech today

...deserves another listen in context of his other remarks.

That's why I posted this, not assuming everyone was listening. 'We' can stand to hear it repeated, especially associated with this important anniversary.

[Hekate]

29. Yes, he did, and thank you

It’s what I took to be surprise from some here that made me react.
