Biden Needs to Blast Trump and Vance for Today's Shameful Spectacle

John Bolton has already spoken out against the shameful verbal assault by schoolyard bullies Trump and Vance on Ukranian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but what about the majority of Democratic lawmakers? Why have they not been more outspoken in condemning this mistreatment of a U. S. ally?

More importantly, where is Joe Biden? He owes it to Zelinskyy to publicly stand up for him and condemn the embarrassing "must see TV" that went on today. Is there any way to contact him, perhaps through social media? Better yet, how about all of us here getting together and sending a petition to the former president to condemn this inexcusable verbal assault on Zelinskyy?

He did his job and did his part. Joe Biden owes nothing to anyone.

…from being driven into a ditch and left to rot. Made sure social programs got funded.

Guess that just wasn’t enough. Well, enjoy the alternative, my fellow citizens.

…by the country and his own party, in case anybody has forgotten. “Too old! Almost senile! Failed! Run in circles, scream and shout! Kick him when he’s down! “

Joe Biden is one of the longest-serving, most-experienced, and most-honorable men this godforsaken country has ever had in office, and what did we do?

Shame on us.

Jesus Christ on a Trailer Hitch, leave the man alone.

I appreciate your feedback to my post so far. Your points are well taken, but I still feel that our former president's imput would mean a great deal to the nation, our party, and our ally, Ukraine.

better odds of getting aid from the US if Biden stays out of it.
