How hard could it be? It’s not like he had to walk the length of a football field to get there. It’s not like he hasn’t done it before.
His briefing team sucks. His kickapoo joy juice hadn’t started to work yet. I don’t know, but the meet with Xi ought to be extremely entertaining if he stays on trend.
It actually may be a very cunning and deadly strategy. Xi may very well die laughing if he meets with Biden.
On second thought, they’re probably just going to go over the number of payments, how they were hidden, what’s expected from Joe in order to keep those payments quiet, etc. You know, a business meeting as usual.

Abigail Adams was a firebrand, and a close to a modern feminist as one could imagine in her time. She was not afraid to advise a course of independence to her husband, all the while nonetheless hoping that the King would acquiesce to the “Olive Branch Petition.” She once famously stated, “If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice, or representation.” Considering her husband’s formidable position in the fight for Independence, I believe Americans can thank her for her true revolutionary spirit. Her influence was a strong, rational, and passionate patriotism, cherished to this day.

Abigail Adams reveals anger toward Great Britain
On this day in history, November 12, 1775, Abigail Adams pens a letter to her husband John Adams who is in Philadelphia at the Continental Congress. Abigail’s letter is a response to Great Britain’s refusing to receive Congress’ “Olive Branch Petition,” a last effort by Congress expressing a wish for reconciliation if the King will right the wrongs done to them.
The insult was that the King would not even receive their petition. When word got back to America, the mood quickly changed. Many had hoped for reconciliation right up to the end, but with the King’s refusal to even receive their petition, they knew it was too late.
Abigail’s letter reveals the bitter and hostile response that many Americans had at the news. She wrote, “Let us separate, they are unworthy to be our Brethren. Let us renounce them and instead of supplications as formerly for their prosperity and happiness, Let us beseech the almighty to blast their counsels and bring to Nought all their devices.”
Even as Congress was writing the Olive Branch Petition to the King in June of 1775, they were already preparing for war, even though the majority was not yet at the place of wanting to declare independence. If their letter was rejected, they knew that war was inevitable. News of the King’s refusal pushed enough in the Continental Congress over the line to make a majority and a Declaration of Independence was made within seven months of the news.
