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.

We don’t need a President Tiberius.
Love to send him home with his teeth in a Baggie...
Looks like the 301 Turbo - still, I’d take it.
By any chance has he called us:
Waco birds
Tea Party Hobbits
Deplorables
“Shouldnt the RNC have an ad out with Biden speaking???”
Heard today he’s thrown his hat into the ring. Darn straight they should use it.
How about going on national TV and telling that to the nation during Primetime, jackass?
Then move to Germany Joe. They have nice trains in Europe. You’d like it.
It’s embarrassing that the democrat party has such embarrassing weirdos in their party
Funny you should say that Joe....because that’s exactly what I thought from 2008-2016.
Biden goes to Munich (of all places) bringing up WWII while trying to appease the Islamicfascist and other criminal invaders. Wonder if he’ll bring back a slip of paper to wave around declaring peace for our time with the invaders?
Yes, does have a ring of truth to it.
Yes, they absolutely do. Dennis Prager is right. A good general rule is: take a look at whatever it is the Germans are doing - then do the exact opposite.
Oh, they pretty much say it to our face too.
Gosh, there’s a lot of sickening comments out there folks.
Yes, he is...
You posted this and did not state your opinion....
Hmmmm
I say Ole Joe is just sopping up any attention he can get before he gets carted off to prison
I propose a grand population exchange with Western Europe.
We’ll largely empty out Miami, the Left Coast, Chicago and that strip from Washington DC all the way to Boston. In exchange we’ll take those few in Western Europe who are left who actually value western civilization, western values, are not filled with self loathing for being White and who are not socialists.
Since Western Europe is so much further down the socialist/post modernist road it only fits that our Leftists will go there while their “Deplorables” come here. Both sides will be so much happier that way.
Oh who the hell are we kidding?
They’ll very quickly be miserable - like they always are when their Leftist utopia doesn’t materialize. But by then it will be too late and we will refuse them permission to come back - and we actually believe in borders and a strong military so we’ll be able to enforce it.
Funny related thing, my sister and broth-in-law are in Morocco right now. He said everyone there kept thinking they were German and were so shocked to find out American. It basically came down to him being in shape and wearing a dress shirt ha
Maybe it’s an untrue stereotype but people in other countries really do think we are all fat white-trashy slobs with no class. And it is embarrassing and I cringe a little when we do things that prove them right
They need to take all the Muslims too.
I supported Donald Trump from the very beginning because to do so was, as Michael Moore put it, the biggest FU in history to the people who have betrayed and ruined my country. Get it Joe? I regard you and your kind much, much, much worse than a source of embarassment.
Biden wants to run for 2020 so he can change America from an embarrassment to a laughing stock.
