CNBC ^

.....Speaking to CNBC’s Hadley Gamble on Friday, Prince Turki Al-Faisal said Biden was coming in as a “much diminished president” compared with when he was inaugurated in January 2021.

“As an example, on energy issues, he came in with a policy to stop completely fossil fuel usage not only in the United States, but worldwide, and now he is finding himself having to rely on fossil fuels as a means of meeting the energy shortage that has come about, not only because of the Ukraine war, but also because of U.S. policy itself that shut down pipelines and stopped issuing ... discovery of oil on U.S. soil,” he said.

The government could have saved a lot of money by just Fed-Ex’ing a stool sample.

Wherever in the world Pedojoe goes, he becomes a laughingstock, except in Israel, where he is recognized as a total schmuck!

The Saudis were impressed that the Bidet gang managed to steal an election.

That was “the good start”.

This whole trip has been a disaster and has exposed who is running the country. When speaking of the two-state solution, he stated that he was for a unitary Palestinian state with a contiguous border. That pretty much means cutting Israel in half. He never mentioned the frequent terror attacks.

In all fairness, his brain has diminished a lot since he came out of the basement after being handed the 2020 election. I don’t think he was ready for that. He’s in over his head.

Turki bin Faisal Al Saud(born 15 February 1945), known also as Turki Al Faisal, is a Saudi prince and former government official who served as the head of Saudi Arabia’s General Intelligence Presidency from 1979 to 2001. He was the CIA’s man in Saudi Arabia until it was found that he was a determined Islamist and had no interest in helping the CIA destroy Al Qaeda. Since 2001 he has existed at the periphery of the Saudi Royal Family.

Who the HELL IS RUNNING the USA government?

Taking another look back at recent history it appears that - once nuclear weapons began to proliferate around the world - the intelligence community made the decision that leaving control of international affairs in the hands of a publicly elected President was simply far too dangerous.

Well Saudi Arabia you better take advantage of this
situation while you can. Hey Prince Turki, why don't
get Biden to bestow the Presidential Medal of Freedom on you?
Just send the money to Hunter first.

If you can scrape together a rating of over 1250 IQ points
out of that crowd, you’re pretty creative.

IQ is not the indicator of smarts some think it is though,
because people can be pretty smart and still be terribly
misled.

That would pretty much make them a fool, for not researching
around and finding more truth than they currently exhibit.

“ Meanwhile, the liberals and wokesters keep attacking golfers for taking Saudi money.”

This is so hypocritical since many pro golfers just played, with permission from the PGA Tour, in a tournament held in Saudi Arabia last February. They paid appearance money for big names to come. For unknown reason, the woke golf commentators seem to have forgotten that.
