MUNICH Speaking on German soil 75 years after the U.S. and its allies prepared for D-Day, Joe Biden described America as "an embarrassment" and its trade policies "self-defeating."
"The America I see values basic human decency, not snatching children from their parents or turning our back on refugees at our border. Americans know thats not right, the former vice president and potential 2020 Democratic presidential candidate told the Munich Security Conference. "The American people understand plainly that this makes us an embarrassment. The American people know, overwhelmingly, that it is not right. That it is not who we are."
Biden, 76, speaking at the annual gathering of foreign policy leaders, didn't mention Trump by name. But, despite a longstanding tradition of politics "stopping at the water's edge" and refraining from criticizing a commander-in-chief while on foreign soil, Biden took the opportunity to blast him, even veering into criticism of domestic policy as he launched into what sounded like a stump speech.
The former vice president was speaking exactly three-quarters of a century after American troops were fighting against Germans at the Battle of Anzio and Allied military staffs were deep into planning for the D-Day invasion of Normandy less than 4 months later.
Biden said: "While I cannot speak today as an elected government official who is able to set policy, I can speak as a citizen. I can offer insight into my country. I know weve heard a lot today about leadership, but in my experience, leadership only exists if somebody and others are with you. Leadership in the absence of people who are with you is not leadership.

At least when Goebbels was trashing America he wasn’t being a f$%^ing traitor!!
“”Joe Biden described America as “an embarrassment” and its trade policies “self-defeating.” “The America I see values basic human decency,””
Gosh Joe, which is it - you see America that values human decency or America is an embarrassment?
“”That it is not who we are””
These idiots NEED to stop with that very stupid pat phrase. Can’t think of something intelligent to say, keep your mouth shut. I know that would be asking a lot of this person but has he ever tried it?
Gee, who wouldn’t want this execrable piece of crap representing the US? The US saved Europe’s bacon twice, and for that, we should feel really really guilty about being white, ya know.
Is he planning to run with JF’nKerry?
It’s early for an apology tour.
We could say, "run, Joe, run", but sadly, he thinks already is running. Foot-shootin' news.
“Biden tells Europeans in Munich that America is ‘an embarrassment’”
He’s right...because of assholes like him and the democrat party.
To anger a conservative, tell him a lie. To anger a liberal, tell him the truth.
Was he at a Beer Hall?
He’s such a perv
It’s so obvious and it is sickening
Biden, you can stay there, then. We don’t need nor want you back.
What an Idiot loser.
Those pics probably will go super-viral should he decide to run.
Well, there was the Beer Hall Putsch.
If Biden was at one, it would be the Beer Hall Putz.
Oh yeah
I like seeing them in one file
I have most of them but in separate files
The one you posted will be good to use on twitter if Hillary lets him run
Nice clip to circulate during his 2020 campaign.
Yup, in Munich.
If Biden was at one, it would be the Beer Hall Putz.
LOL!
;)
His words witness his condition.
“Politics stops at the water’s edge,” unless you are attacking Trump.
Yep, or unless your name is Barack Hussein Obama.
