    It’s so odd to have a president who is secure enough and has the humility to admit fault.

    Even today, Trump is claiming he intentionally mixes up Obama and Biden in speeches.

      Admit fault … in a private meating with the parties offended by the faulty statement. Will he give a national speach walking back the statement he made in a national speach?

      This was not a mis speak. This was not a mistake. Biden made a political calculation for how to talk about the conflict. He is trying to appease both sides of the issue by changing his position depending on who he is talking to.

          I can’t. Happy?

          Biden is less terrible than Trump, yes. In the general election, he still has my vote. Do we need to carefully declaim this every single time we criticize him?

          He’s also holding onto power when he shouldn’t, and likely to hand the Whitehouse back to Trump as a result, just like Clinton handed it over last time. Democrats should be demanding he step down, en masse, and let somebody with more integrity run, before it’s too late. He is not helping.

    Honestly, seeing/hearing the words “I will do better” from a President is what real leadership actually looks like. It’s sad that it’s borderline inspiring, but in this climate, it’s at least an attempt at statesmanship.

    Now that is how a president should behave. Humble and accepting of criticism when they’re wrong.

      Using reader mode on iOS just gives an eBay page with some odd file. It’s junk website site even if you subscribe to their spin.

    Has he apologized for his blatant lie about seeing beheaded babies?

    He’s gonna do better by removing all restrictions of weapon sales to Israel so they can finish off their genocide and ethnic cleansing?

      Sales? Lol.

      The US has “Strategic reserves” of ammunition, weapons, and vehicles in Israel. These are held there in case of a regional conflict the US has to respond to.

      Biden is in the process of allowing Israel to access these reserves without limitation, instead of following US and international law about supplying arms. Our tax dollars will now be used to refill these strategic reserves after Israel “accesses” them.

      Oh and I’m sure as soon as this blows over we will be fast on our feet to reverse that decision and won’t build Israel’s arsenal for a decade or more. Nope definitely won’t do that.

    He’s trying to do damage control, too late for that. He’s allowed it to go on way too long.

    Paid Zionists are gonna do Zionists things though
