Biden

[Abstract1]

describes Hamas as 'the other team'. Crass.

[Ringlet]

It's all a game to them. 

[royfromaus]

The buffoon didn't stick to his assignened notes.

Why doesn't he do us all a favour and just show the script to the camera so we can read it for ourselves...

[naomi24]

I think he tries to appear young and 'cool'.   That's why he always does a little run whenever he arrives on stage.

[royfromaus]

A young and cool dude doesn't need his wife to lead him of the stage after his ramblings.

[naomi24]

Indeed.  

[brainiac]

Antony Blinken would make a much better President: he's wide awake,  intelligent, articulate and definitely knows what's going on

[youngmafbog]

To be fair its just an Americanism that does mean the same to them as it does to us.

[royfromaus]

Idiotic use of words. 

Trump would be lambasted for saying similar.

[Old_Geezer]

I think you are simply overreacting to a mild way of putting something. (Must be nice not to have anything worse to criticise.)

[royfromaus]

Jesus wept...mild way of putting something?

 

Give your head a wobble!

 

 

[William51]

  At his age you say ill thought out things. Why does the US have such a poor pool of politicians who can be president?. Surely, a country of 300 million people should  find a way of promoting good younger people of to be president.

[retrocop]

Tactful? Diplomatic? Are their English dictionaries different to ours?. This goon who wants to be a jock is a jerk.

[tomus42]

//Trump would be lambasted for saying similar.//

And rightly so. It was a stupid thing to say.

[DTCwordfan]

Nah - it's just a game of their grid-iron football for 'Sleepy' and his sycophants....next match in Golders Green or a nearby stadium - I hope not.

And the bad news is that the Trumpette would be no better.

[Peter Pedant]

Hamas as 'the other team'. - - - well it is not a country or as TTT wd make it clear -  (narda gondree).

Also Biden has the very unpleasant task of saying to the Israelis - "you were right, they blew themselves up"

Beeb were unhinged over this truth this morning. But the israeli spokesman was doing "a Mme Nhu - the dragon lady" act - that lady said on television 1964 " well if  these monks want to make human barbecues of themselves.

The Dodi-killers (MI5, silly!) did manage to get the IRA to blow themselves up with their own bombs ( details available on request) but never zeroed more than 5 at a time

[Peter Pedant]

" well if  these monks want to make human barbecues of themselves. let them go ahead!"

hence Dragon Lady breathing fire. Viets unaware of her sobriquet - alway Mme Nhu ( prounced new).

Madame Nhu publicly mocked Thích Quảng Đức, who performed a self-immolation on 11 June 1963 in a crowded Saigon street to protest against the shooting of Buddhists by Diệm's regime. She labelled it a "barbecue" and stated, "Let them burn and we shall clap our hands."

[Canary42]

We were similar in Tudor times. Who burnt Joan of Arc ?

[DTCwordfan]

Can't remember my French history - Les Bollah perhaps?

[ichkeria]

The US is sending 100 million dollars in aid to Palestine. They'll persuade Egypt and Israel to open the crossing to allow the aid in.

Meanwhike demented protesters cling to the increasingly discredited claim that Israel killed hundreds in a hospital.

But Biden said "team" so let's talk about that ... 

[DTCwordfan]

that should read Les Bollardes, or Boulards, the word of Mediaeval origin and meaning 'post'....
