The former vice president cited the NATO video while speaking at an event in Ames, Iowa, earlier Wednesday to make the case “people are worried around the world” with Trump in office.
“You saw what’s recently happened, you heard the reports, I didn’t see them, I just saw the reports today, where our NATO allies caught off guard making fun of the President of the United States of America,” Biden said. “When is that, did you ever think you’d see that happen? Ever? And it matters to us. It matters to our security. But it gets back to basic fundamental values. And where are those values rooted?”
The comments echo Biden’s remarks to CNN’s Don Lemon last month faulting Trump for “shredding our alliances.”
“Vladimir Putin knows I know him, and he knows me. And the fact is that this is what is needed on day one,” Biden said. “We’re in trouble. We’re in trouble. This President is shredding our alliances. This President is yielding to Putin in ways that are obsequious.”
Wednesday’s video was released 30 minutes after Trump landed back on American soil, keeping in line with Biden’s often cited principle of not criticizing a president while they’re abroad.
“I never say anything negative about a president while he — a particular foreign policy issue — while that president is abroad,” Biden said in Ames.

On Wednesday, Trump referred to Trudeau as “two-faced,” and returned to America earlier than planned, canceling a news conference.
“To be fair, Trump’s not wrong. Justin Trudeau is two-faced — he’s got a white one and a brown one.” — TREVOR NOAH
“Yeah, it’s like Trump was at a sleepover and all the other kids turned on him, you know, and now he’s just there like, ‘Mom, I know it’s a day early, but can you come pick me up from NATO?’” — TREVOR NOAH
“Mr. President, you shouldn’t be in a place where people are going to laugh at you behind your back. You get on Air Force One and you fly straight back home, where we promise that we will laugh at you to your face.” — TREVOR NOAH
“He was like, ‘Take me back to where I’m respected’ and then flew home to where he’s being impeached.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Trump is like, ‘If you are going to trash somebody, do it like a man. You know, at 3 a.m. on Twitter.’” — JAMES CORDEN
make him a joke? too late. he’s already a joke, a really really bad one.
putie, his puppeteer, thinks otherwise.
Nancy pulls trigger. Sure sounds like they’re going to include Mueller articles.
Haven’t been able to keep up with the news for a few days. Thankful for this place.
Go, Nancy… GO!
“The president abused his power for his own personal, political benefit at the risk” of U.S. national security. She said his actions “seriously violated the Constitution” and gave Democrats “no choice but to act.”
Nancy nice and concise. hope they keep repeating with emphasis “at the risk of your security” sentiment.
wapo story that surely means more fresh material for the late night comics, especially the 6 neatly ironed boxer shorts part (but were they starched and padded too?):
How two housekeepers took on the president – and revealed that his company employed undocumented immigrants
BEDMINSTER TOWNSHIP, N.J. — It was important for Sandra Diaz to be invisible.
Before entering the Trump family villa, she would tie back her hair, pull on latex gloves and step into delicate paper shoe coverings. She knew not to wear makeup or perfume that might leave the faintest trace of her presence.
As Donald Trump’s personal housekeeper, Diaz was dealing with a fussy celebrity owner who presided like a monarch over the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster long before he was elevated to president. She was an immigrant from Costa Rica working illegally for Trump with a fake Social Security card she had bought for $50. Being invisible was her life’s work.
Moving quickly through the two-story house in the mornings, Diaz carried out Trump’s fastidious instructions. In his closet, she would hang six sets of identical golf outfits: six white polo shirts, six pairs of beige pants, six neatly ironed pairs of boxer shorts. She would smear a dollop of Trump’s liquid face makeup on the back of her hand to make sure it hadn’t dried out.

Obama just bought this Martha’s Vineyard Estate $11.5 million. Classy property.
I didn’t see anything wrong when Pamela S. Karlan, Stanford Law School professor said he could name his kid Baron but couldn’t make him one. It was to the point.
What a dream property. And we all know where they can get some fine chocolates.
So, Obama went into politics to do good and he did quite well.
Ya know Bill Clinton and Barak Obama have a lot in common.
Think about it

Speakin’ of jokes. Check out the video in this article. Some Black leaders in South Bend put on a pro Mayor Pete event. It was disrupted by Black lives matter protestors. SNL back when it was good, could not have done a funnier skit. , A white “black lives matter” protestor grabs the microphone from the African American woman and questions her right to be a black leader. O, and what makes it great is the old black woman who raises her cane and charges toward the protestor. Hey, don’t fuck with old black women, they don’t take shit from anybody.
Jack
I like Biden’s new commercial that is making the rounds on twitter.
Basically it is pointing out that Trump is the joke and we need to do better. The problem with laughing at Trump is that it gets you down in the mud with Trump. So you have Wrestling with a pig problem, when you are all covered with mud it is hard to tell you from the pig.
Jack
Mr Jack,
How does one castrate a boar/bore if one doesn’t get into the mud ?
Look a joni ernst ? She washes up well – and I hope that she’s washed up in the next election.
The rasmussen presidential approval poll’s rolling average is now +5% :
Approve 52% Not 47%
Knowing rasmussen it is probably 49% Approve to 47% Disapprove
Reuters/Ipsos : – 12%
Economist/YouGov : -6%
All same time period
Time marches on: Daughter Sue’s 58th birthday was last week and today would have been Kumcho’s 83d. Sigh
Xrep,
Having done that more than a few times in my youth, you certainly don’t do it in the mud. As it always seemed to be my job to hold the pig. You flip the pig on its side put a knee on its neck right behind the ear and pull its hind legs up so all they are doing is kicking air. You can hold him all day long and never get dirty. I think the same may apply in politics.
Jack
Flatus tell me about it, did Thanksgiving with my sisters. It seems like only last week I was helping my niece out by baby setting her 2 boys. now they are in college. My sister is in danger of becoming a great grandmother. On the bright side another niece brought her ,almost year old daughter to the gathering and I got to hold her on my lap and enjoy being an uncle. Like her mother she grabbed a hand full of my beard and pulled. Life goes on.

Jack, wouldn’t that be great-uncle? Love the bumper sticker, BTW.

Wow Craig… that is some summer digs. The premiere chocolate shop on Martha’s Vineyard was Chilmark Chocolates. The woman who owned it retired this spring and sent all her business OldSeaHag’s way.
Pogo, yeah, and she was a great niece too. I can put two greats in front of uncle my older sister’s grandson just became a daddy.
Jack
I’m still just grand, but I expect to be great before too much longer.
be sure to watch if nothing else starting at 2.24 in on the vid when she talks about the twit’s inaugural speech. she related bush’s response to it. loved it.
Flatus – it hit me yesterday as I was showing pictures of the Thanksgiving Day feast to my co-workers. One of my youngest son and his wife, he is thirty-eight. At that I realized this is not a good feeling, something about being young left me.
BB, look at the picture above your whine. Old, you say, how do you think Hillary feels??
Much thanks, Mr Jack !
Next time I fight with an active ripper, I’ll use this method you recommend. I want to see those feet kicking.
Wish me luck.
