He, in his own charming Biden way, told them to sit down and shut the fuck up. Bravo, Mr. President.

Whereas during the former guy's administration, they bent over backwards to make the stupid shit that fell out of his mouth make sense. Biden's comments were spot-on, and it's incredibly odd to see the media working overtime to try to stick up for Putin and his misunderstood ways: Was the unprovoked invasion of Urkraine really that bad?

The multitudinous lie and crap laden utterings from FFFF were most of the time 'explained' by the media as like 'oh well, what to say'.

I'm so sick of this nonstop garbage.

quickly after Biden said it.

Nothing really wrong with Biden’s comments, although I’d bet he’d do it a bit differently next time.

with their pants completely down ... That's kind of a 'tell.' We're playing a bit of revisionist "meant to say that all along" now. (which is proving to have a certain amount of popularity and 'bounce' in it's own right) But that ain't the way it went down in the original telling.

to boost ratings with an American public that thrives on daily doses of blistering entertainment.

I hope they perish from overdoes of reality, truth, professionalism and normalcy......

Try telling almost anyone, "You know what? Biden made a speech and he said Putin has to go."
They'll shrug and say, "Well, yeah. Putin really does need to go."
