    That's just one more right wing spin. He did not say America is an embarrassment! He said doing something in particular would make us "an . . . . . . . . . . . embarrassing". But even if he hadn't muffed up his wording there, he is not saying America "is an embarrassment". He is saying it would make us....... (embarrassing/embarrassment). As such he is warning against taking some particular action for reasons he gave.

    HASN'T ANYONE ALREADY POINTED THIS OUT????

    The right always looks for anything they can spin into an attack on democrats. There's no honesty in that.

    He "stuttered". He said turning people away at the border is something "the American people understand (unintelligible) . . . it makes us . . . . . . embarrassing".

    I can only conclude he was saying it is "embarrassing".

    Truth hurts, so why not fake snowflake outrage in trumpland.

    I mean they all know everyone else is a loser, so they are just trying to make sure everyone knows who the biggest losers really are.

    If your eyes were opened wide, you would know Trump is making America out to be an embarrassment. No other world leader tweets erratically like he does, no other first world leader attacks their countries press like Trump does, and no other world leader generalizes groups of people as broadly as Trump does. Biden is correct, and the truth is obviously hurting from your OP.

    I can't comment on America's laws in this regard (as they're not the same as ours), but I will say taking aid where it's needed doesn't mean 'injecting yourself' into the politics of that nation. Medicines Sans Frontiers et al having been providing aid in situ for many many years, all around the world, in some real hot spots. When you're limiting your involvement to aid, there's usually no problem. You're not evacuating people, or providing armed support, or anything like that. You're simply feeding and watering until the crisis has passed.

    Absolutely on that last point. The moment a would-be refugee crosses OUT of their nearest neighbour, they should lose all right to asylum. I would make it even harder for them, and also strip them of any right to enter the country the usual way. Banned for life, as it were. It demonstrates a dishonest approach to the process, and that's a 'character flaw' which should disqualify them from ever migrating.

    Nicaragua, El Salvadore, Panama we've been there and done that. We send aid, the despot ruler takes it, oppositions forces form so we support them and get stuck. The "he's better than the communist rebels" leader his getting kicked and those supplies stolen so we support him get stuck and the world says WE'RE the bad guys the socialist here riot in the streets. I heard a clip of Bernie Sanders back in the day defending Daniel Ortega.

    Hopefully in Venezuela the people are going to overthrow the socialist and go back to their freedom and liberties they had under capitalism where they were a very prosperous nation.

    It will be interesting the next two years watching the Democrats try to defend open borders while they try to deny they support open borders.

    Calling America and embarrassment on foreign soil speaking to foriegners, not something a President or candidate thereof should be doing.

    Well if you would open yours you would see he is making us stronger and getting back the respect we lost under Obama and that respect is that they all just love us to death. It's they RESPECT us. They want to emulate our sucesses which Trump can and is willing to give them a hand. But he will always protect OUR national interest first and not sacrifice that so some country with "like" us. For Biden to go an denegrate us in a foreign country to a foreign audience should disqualify him to the voters from being elected.

    Anyone who listens will hear him say it and it will most likely become an opposition ad against him,

    Joe Biden tells the World that the Ocean contains Water.

    Of course, with Trump as POTUS, America is An Embarrassment.

    Case closed.:salute:

    You the 'pc' police again. I thought everyone decided that avoiding being offensive, and toning down rhetoric was destroying our democracy. But Biden has to pick his words so sanctimonious pricks like you won't exploit them.

    You don't see anything wrong with the pics? That in itself is creepy. If any grown man grabbed the face of my son and tried to kiss him, he would get my foot up his pedophilic ass.

    And you see nothing inappropriate with these pics?

    I think it is wrong to tell another man you just grab women by the p@@@@. I think it is wrong to just walk in on women in their dressing room.

    Call me crazy.

    But you don't think its wrong for a grown man to grab little girls and manhandle their breast area; or kiss a little boy on the lips? Wow. I don't know what is creepier. Manhandling women, girls and little boys, or defending the predator when he does it.

    I didn't see him do that. But your defense of a man who is married and says he grabs women by the p@@@@ and has sex with strippers tells me everything I need to know


    Biden could make a great president

    If you just want to trade insults look elsewhere.
