'never admit you lost,' and 'never apologize' thing.

It amazes and appalls me at the same time that we have let politics take over civility in this country.

He seemed diffident. His innate politeness made and humility made it hard to punch back, at least at people he liked and respected. He had no trouble taking on Trump.

like OMG, no fireworks at the Mt. Rushmore thing!! I mean, it’s obvious -- to Fox -- that Joe wants fireworks restricted to D.C. so that certain states, like the Dakota that contains Mt. Rushmore, can’t have a good fire-worky celebration. Or something.

I watched the commie propaganda station (that’s really what Fox has become) and saw Brian Kilmeade have an emotional hissy over this issue and he introduced Kristi (Kristy? Kristie?) Noem to join with him in bemoaning this power-grab. (I didn’t watch her, however, because I do not like to watch professional murderers. Also, I cannot take more than 60 seconds of Fox at a time.)

The Slobfather. He's low-energy and sleepy and Biden can run rings around his fat arse.

Have we ever seen the Slobfather ride a bike? Or jog? Or even bend down to pick something up off the floor? Nope. He had a lot of nerve criticizing both Joe and Hillary.

He was just jealous of both of them.

Diplomat. In deed, it's no doubt MoJoe exceeded all expectations. I'm hating the headlines and pundits who say Putin got what he wanted. BS. MoJoe got what he wanted - face to face delivery of the rules of the road going forward - a warning to a tyrant the US can and will employ all we have against him if they don't cut the hacking out. Can't get any tougher than that.

Because Biden believes strongly in one-on-one relationships, he is a natural as a diplomat. He know how to connect with people, leaving no doubts about where he stands. I agree, Biden got what he wanted when it comes to Putin, which was very important, as the whole world was watching. He can be very tough and seemingly amiable at the same time, important attributes for a diplomat.

I think the whole trip was an enormous success. Such a stark contrast to the previous administration.

by how simply, almost simple mindedly, he puts things, like guys hitting world affairs briefly in the back yard over beers. He can and does do it for hours without letting slip even one word someone might want to look up to learn something about.

Somehow I really do not think he talks in terms even Individual One can understand in his meetings with top experts on many subjects each day.

That's kind of amazing when you think about it. A genuine talent overlooked while peoplel not his relative lack of talent for other aspects of verbal expression.
