So, what signal will this send?

"This (Biden) is our best and brightest. Please don't hurt us."

Oh for the love of Pete. I just read that someone from Putin’s regime asked if the list of sanctions was compiled by a prankster - now Biden actually going over there? These guys are going to split a gut laughing.

I think “prankster” was a translation error, and he really meant “Joker”

Wow dang I really do need reading glasses. I read that Biden’s head is heading to Europe to send to Putin. I’m like do we really want to send something EMPTY over to Putin to scare.

I had to check to see if this was a satire post. Just to funny. If anything Putin might die laughing.

As if “Preznit Mom-Jeans” hasn’t provided Putin and Russia with enough laughs via his pathetic “sanctions,” here comes the doofus Biden to cement America’s laughingstock status all around the globe.

The infamous weakness and impotence of the Carter-era years are looking like glory years compared to what is now happening in this country.

Yes, I heard both. Drudge has prankster, but I also heard a report saying joker.

Either way, what on earth did everyone expect from a curtain-hanging, bike-riding community organizer (I still don’t know what that is....I have lived in several communities and we’ve never had an organizer).

Meanwhile Putin will steal the show by telling Russians Crimea is going to return home. His already stratospheric popularity will reach new heights. He is playing to his home turf.

All Biden can do is offer NATO allies small talk but no real action.

My theory is that terrorists will use the missing Malaysian Airliner , repainted like AF-1 , to capture the Vice President and hold him hostage.

Slow Joe probably has this message pinned to his underwear.

Reagan = Peace through Strength...
Obama = War through Weakness...
