President Joe Biden with the SNAP quote of the day... (re hostage release)

The best part... It was an off the cuff reply...

#GottaLoveJoe




Reporter: Trump said he could have gotten the hostages out without giving anything in exchange. What do you say to that?

Biden: Why didn't he do it when he was president?

Of course, it doesn't actually apply to Gershkovich, but it applies to Whelan.

He wasn’t building the wall he said he would build. But he did convince some of his klan to squirt horse dewormer up their asses.

AND President Biden knows something else that the donald just can't, or won't learn: Leaving gracefully, at the top of his game (and his resume). The donald just won't let go, and now he's WAAAAAAY past his sell-by date. He's running out of time. When he loses again in November, will he keep trying again in 2028? Will he end up like the nagging cough that won't go away? He's too old for too many more moves or schemes or campaigns that end up as failures. I can't help but suspect that he's gonna stay defiant and will keep trying to get back into the White House LONG after there's no hope. This is a guy who doesn't, and won't admit OR accept his mistakes. After all, he's got an "image" to protect.

I expect he'll be remembered as a loser, cuz of his age and questionable resume. As an insatiable attention hog: loud, blustery, all promises and NOTHING delivered.

"The donald just won't let go, and now he's WAAAAAAY past his sell-by date."

I believe you meant "cell-by" date.

He said he's bring peace to the middle east. We've seen how that turned out.

But he did send a love letter to Kim Jong Un, so that's something.

His recklessness with human life was proven dozens of times during his tenure including his COVID response.

So why did the press bother to ask TFG about hostages which might require some real political diplomacy? Entertainment value, perhaps?

Thanks for posting that perfect response from our President.......

It applies to so many things that I expect it’s a regular thought running through Biden’s head, as well as something shouted at TV’s by White House personnel.

...A white male sociopath SAYS he will - something, something better than "libruls"!

Then the white male sociopath raids the U.S. Treasury and destroys our economy. (Dismal failure Bush Jr. & the Deadbeat.)

Then the privileged, incompetent white male declares "libruls raided the treasury and destroyed our economy", and the media swoons over the failed, incompetent sociopathic white male Republicon.

We MUST continue laughing at them. We MUST laugh when judged, laugh when they lie and so on, then attack. Attack, attack and attack them on their supposed strength, use their own words and records against them.

Then we MUST treat them as the spoiled, bullies they are by ridiculing them and treating them as stupid teenagers.
