The handling of the press during the initial start of Biden-Putin meeting was disgraceful. You

[JohnSJ]

couldn’t hear a word either one was saying, and then you have some of the commentators trying to read things into that whole start of the meeting

It was pretty sad

[agingdem]

1. start with Morning Joe...

John Bolton and Gary Kasparov as guests?.. their "analytical" advice...a series of Biden insults..

[JohnSJ]

2. They have Hillay on now. I am switching between CNN and MSNBC. Best line Hillary said is "we

don’t have a president who is a spokesperson for Putin”

Obvious Implication was we now have a president who speaks for the United States

7. I missed that sadly

But did you see this picture which accompanies the AP story.

Look at that handshake!

Biden’s hand dwarfs Putin’s. That is one strong symbol.
