The sliminess of Biden is impossible to not not notice, or to ignore.

They asked for it, they got it, and now that they have buttered their bread they must eat it.

He (Biden) is totally wrecking Western Civilization, but that is OK because Trump can no longer Tweet and call people finks or declare that bullshit is off of the table.

Cry me a freakin’ river. The Euroweenies hated Trump and wanted this idiot in The White House. You got him EU, and we’re stuck with him.

Looks like the Europeans regarded their relationship with President Trump as "traumatic."

From the article: "The main rift under Trump had less to do with specific foreign policy decisions and more that we didn't share the same values all of a sudden," says Nathalie Tocci, an adviser to the EU's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, and a visiting professor at Harvard.

"The real trauma of Trumpism was not only 'America First' but that he seemed to get on more with the Xis and Putins. That we're on the same side hasn't been questioned with Afghanistan. What has changed is the growing preoccupation in Europe that as the US withdraws from the world, it may be very committed to protecting values in America - but what about elsewhere?"

IOW, Europe's big gripe was "Hey Trump! What about us? Isn't America going to take care of us anymore?"

The One Worlder crowd resented the hell out of Trump's "America First" dominant policy everywhere in the world.

American power belonged, from Trump's point of view, solely to America.

To the EU and the One Worlders, American power was too strong--it must be weakened by re-distribution across the globe according to European and UN directives--like in the good old pre-Trump days.

President Trump was having no part of it--and those NATO-driven European leaders absolutely hated him for it.

Trump told them things they needed to hear but didn’t want to. Such as it’s time for you lazy f*cks to start carrying your share of the load for the cost of NATO, leveling out the playing field on trade and stop allowing unlimited numbers of Muslims into your countries.

It would be very illuminating if some group were to undertake to get one of the major TV shows (I’m thinking Kudlow or Brit Hume) to gather a group of learned talking heads and put together their thoughts on who is the “they” that prevent that POS Biden from saying certain things. Understanding who “they” probably is might go far toward educating the electorate on Biden’s intentions.
