Every time Biden pulls off another deft piece of foreign policy (like Turkey relenting on Sweden), which he demurred to take credit for, I Thank God we voted out the buffoon and shudder to think what the world would be like if we hadn't. Yeah I might also like to see a different matchup but if this is what we got then there is no question Biden is the choice.

Shades of H. W. declining a victory lap over the Soviet Union, along with handling the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany.

I just wanted to be able to stop worrying that an errant tweet was going crash the markets on a random day. Biden has been mostly excellent. One of the best since Ike, imo.

Unfortunately much of the American public comprehends foreign policy and international trade about as well as they do photosynthesis.

I'm not sure people understand the amount of Foreign Policy chops and back end horse trading they had to do to push that through. True expertise at every level.

Conservatives just change the subject. HeтАЩs ignoring his granddaughter! He looks feeble on the beach! He swears!

And they are very good at it.

I thought swearing was a good thing when the Secessionist-in-Chief made America great again.

In delicate family situations, the arrangements regarding children of separated parents should be made by the parents, provided that the child is lovingly cared for and is safe. This child appears to be doing well. If the mother signals she wants a relationship with her daughterтАЩs paternal grandparents, then that is for the family to discuss. There was no mention of the mother making such a request.

In truth, can you imagine how difficult it would be to have a grandchild and not to know the child and not to be there for the child? OneтАЩs heart would ache. Yet you maintain the arrangement - or lack of arrangement, as asked. DonтАЩt judge what you donтАЩt know or understand.

Exactly. I am also very uncomfortable that so much information about this little girl is now public. That seems like a bad idea.

The whole 7th grandchild thing is nobody's f'n business. We don't know what is being said behind closed doors in the Biden household. Maybe Joe has talked to Hunter about wanting to recognize the grandchild. We don't know this. Maybe Hunter said he doesn't and it breaks Joe's heart. We don't know. And it's nobody's f'n business. so the media needs to butt the f*** out.

I agree. But they wonтАЩt. The motherтАЩs lawyer is a Trump supporter and sheтАЩs a Maga Mom. That and the timing say this is from the oppo bag of nasty media manipulation but the puppet masters have got to be careful with this one. It could come out as political operatives trying to exploit a child. That has a lot of potential to blow up in their faces.
