President Joe Biden is absolutely right to try to make a case on behalf of arming Ukraine. But the way he chose to do it was as hypocritical as can be.
Biden used as a model of behavior the late President Ronald Reagan’s famous speech wherein the Gipper, in Berlin, said, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”
One problem: Biden at the time hated that speech. He said it was dangerous rhetoric.
In Reagan’s personal diaries, the Gipper rarely mentioned Biden. But after his Berlin Wall speech, Reagan was infuriated by Biden, who at the time was in a race for president that would fizzle to nothingness when Biden repeatedly lied about his heritage and his resume. Biden had blasted Reagan’s speech and the “Reagan Doctrine” of arming people willing to fight for their own freedom against autocratic regimes.
In his diaries, Reagan wrote, “[There was] some talk about Sen. Biden — now candidate for Pres. I saw him on CNN last night speaking to the John F. Kennedy school at Harvard U. He’s smooth but pure demagog[ue] — out to save Am[erica] from the Reagan doctrine.”

“The 80’s called they want their foreign policy back...”
Biden trashed and help defeat Bork that same year. Biden was always a vicious and toxic leftist.
Just playing the political game. They stand for enriching themselves, nothing else. FJB
He is merely a piece of clay, having been molded over the decades by ever-changing ideologies to fit the narrative du jour.
thesun.com.....Biden described “the achievements his administration brought during his first term” and “implored voters to give him a second chance.”
It’s an uphill battle for Biden, who has seen some of the worst popularity ratings in US history.
Biden plans to win back favor by announcing a plan to increase the flow of humanitarian aid on the Gaza coast as the war between Israel and Palestinian group Hamas, the AP reported.
These extreme efforts to make Biden look artificially young and vigorous could backfire.
He has an attack plan for a second term and how he will build on the momentum of “a strong economy” and “low unemployment rates.”
Nothing about his extreme unpopularity, the $34 trillion dollar ntl debt, the ongoing travails of whoring cokehead Hunter, mishandling of classified documents, influence-peddling and The Biden Crime Family swilling at the public trough.
BTW, today’s is an anniversary of the Evil Empire speech by Ronald Reagan.
He was the Great communicator!

Biden doesn’t have to remember anything. His lies are always backed up by his adoring media lapdogs.
