Biden misses 'family photo' at his last G20 summit

The president arrived for a photo with other world leaders at the event in Brazil, only to find that they had already proceeded without him.

Disrespect.

"One cameraman spotted him behind a nearby palm tree alongside Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Italian premier Giorgia Meloni.

Trudeau and Meloni also missed the photo.

When asked whether Biden intentionally skipped the photo to avoid standing near Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, the official dismissed the idea."

There's the G20 friendly with Russia. There's half the G7 behind a palm tree. And then there's the BRICS crowd behind a bush.

In exclusive sit-down, Biden reveals his biggest regret and the compliment Trump gave him

In an exit interview with USA TODAY, President Joe Biden talks pardons, policy, politics and family.
www.usatoday.com

"...he believes he could have won his reelection bid − but isn't sure he would have had the vigor to complete four more years in the Oval Office.

'So far, so good,' he said. 'But who knows what I'm going to be when I'm 86 years old?' '...when Trump was running again for reelection, I really thought I had the best chance of beating him. But I also wasn't looking to be president when I was 85 years old, 86 years old. And so I did talk about passing the baton'"

You did? (vis-a-vis second campaign) Should you be running for the leader of the free world without the conviction to actually finish the term? This isn't exactly a governor-general type job.

"Could he have won? 'It's presumptuous to say that, but I think yes,' Biden said, adding he based that view on polling he had reviewed. He expressed no such confidence when asked whether he had the vigor to serve another four years in office, though. 'I don't know,' he replied."

Well I mean Trump won being behind or tied in most polls. You were behind in most polls. Maybe the polling wasn't revealing the true convictions of the voters.

"Trump praised him, Biden said. 'He was very complimentary about some of the economic things I had done. And he talked about − he thought I was leaving with a good record.'"

Public Trump vs Private Trump.

'One of the great tragedies of American politics': Biden ends 5 decades in public life

Biden leaves behind a complicated legacy of legislative wins and economic gains, along with a trail of fractured relationships and grievances within his own party.
www.nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com

“One former top Obama aide who publicly argued after the June debate that Biden should drop out pointedly noted this week that Biden recently named aircraft carriers after former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, he has not offered any similar honor to Obama.

‘Barack H. Obama did not get a f---ing personnel carrier named after him,’”

“In the immediate term, it has all done little to move the public. Biden is poised to leave office with a 36% approval rating, according to a CNN poll released Wednesday. Low approval numbers dogged him throughout his presidency and now he’s particularly smarting over leaving office without his standing with Americans having improved, according to two people familiar with the matter.”

I’m sure in a decade we will all be looking back fondly at the Biden Years, while we sink ever deeper into the abyss m. He’ll, these days even the GW Bush era doesn’t seem quite so bad anymore

Biden pardons Fauci, Milley, members of Jan. 6 panel in effort to guard against potential Trump retribution

Trump has warned of a list filled with those who have crossed him politically or sought to hold him accountable for his attempt to overturn his 2020 election loss and his role in the storming of the U.S. Capitol
www.theglobeandmail.com www.theglobeandmail.com

Final acts of the Biden administration. What did Fauci do again? If he gets charged for anything it ought to be what he didn't do...avoiding the plague from China.

“'The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offence,' Biden said in a statement. 'Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country.'"

From now on, instead of a medal of freedom, you get a pardon for your public service!

Trump admin plans to use notorious Guantánamo detention facility and nearby tents to hold immigrants

Migrants have previously been held in a lower-security part of the base. Tents are also being constructed near the detention facility.
www.nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com

"Known as the Migrant Operations Center, or MOC, it has been used to temporarily hold migrants interdicted at sea. Two Biden administration officials who recently left the Department of Homeland Security told NBC News that the MOC at Guantánamo can only hold 200 people and is in need of repair. Those officials say a Biden-era estimate priced needed upgrades, which would not expand capacity beyond 200 beds, at $15 million."

Didn't know that.

Review: Original Sin details Biden’s declining health and a cover-up by closest advisers

CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson’s book asks and answers troubling questions about Biden’s health and the world’s most powerful political office
www.theglobeandmail.com www.theglobeandmail.com

"Mr. Biden was already diminished by 2020, according to the pair’s sources, and saw his faculties decline precipitously afterward, particularly in the second half of his White House term. In anecdote after anecdote, they reveal how Mr. Biden appeared to a wide range of people who interacted with him behind the scenes, charting initial symptoms of decline during the 2020 campaign – when he reportedly had trouble tracking conversations over Zoom – to more unsettling incidents during his time in office."

.... well, he could be technologically illiterate like my mum.

"Closed-door sit-downs with his cabinet were scripted, with Mr. Biden’s aides asking government agencies to tell them in advance what they planned to ask..."

Not uncommon to have scripted questions and answers at the highest levels.

"The book describes a meeting between Mr. Biden and Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader in the Senate, in which Mr. Biden admitted he had not spoken to his own pollsters mere months before the 2024 election. When Mr. Schumer told Mr. Biden that those pollsters only gave Mr. Biden a 5-per-cent chance of winning, Mr. Biden reportedly replied, 'Really?'"

The et tu Brute moment.

"When he arrived at a 2024 Hollywood fundraiser hosted by George Clooney, the book reports, Mr. Biden did not recognize the actor despite having known him for 20 years. It was common for Mr. Biden to trail off during conversations and speak so quietly that people couldn’t hear him. During meetings and phone calls, he sometimes forgot why he was having the conversation."

Then Clooney writes an op-ed.
 
How Hunter Biden Helped Derail His Father’s Re-Election

“Hunter found out the Democratic National Committee was paying President Biden’s legal fees arising from an investigation into his handling of classified documents, taken over by a special counsel, Robert Hur. Hunter asked why the DNC could not pay his too. Lawyers ultimately decided the president should not be involved in fundraising for Hunter, and the DNC could not justify picking up Hunter’s tab.”

If you can actually logically justify this to yourself, God knows what else you can justify.
 
Kamala Harris opens up on the 'recklessness' of Biden's re-election bid

"'It’s Joe and Jill’s decision.' We all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized,"
"Was it grace, or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness,"
"The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision."
"During all those months of growing panic, should I have told Joe to consider not running?"

He was the incumbent. He won the 2020 election - not you. It's his right to continue to run for a second term.

If you had this much of a reservation, you didn't have to be on the f*cking 2024 ticket. You could have resigned.
 
Do you think Trump will go to the funeral? That could be really awkward as everyone is eulogizing Biden while Trump plays golf

He won’t miss the pomp of a state funeral or whatever the yanks call it.

November 2024:

"Mr. President-elect. Donald, congratulations. Looking forward to having a smooth transition, and we can make sure you are accommodated. Welcome," Biden said.

"Politics is tough. In many cases, it's not a nice world, but it is a nice world today. A transition that's so smooth, it will be as smooth as it can get," Trump responded.
