I don’t know that bringing back Cheney is the thing to do, but I remember well Cheney’s cool when we hastily inserted light forces to stop Saddam Hussein dead in his tracks when the Hussy invaded Kuwait and threatened Saudi Arabia with his “million man army”. Our soldiers were magnificent, too. “The Battle of Kafji” soon followed.

I’m sure Putin has fled the country and is seeking asylum in Boliva.

On second thought, he’s changing his pants because he laughed so hard that he crapped in them.

Lenin and Stalin both heard about Biden’s trip and collectively said, “We used to shoot stupid people like this”.

Biden said, “Where the hell is the Ukraine and does it have sleeping berths?”

Biden ought to be able to turn things around 360 degrees.

I think you’ve nailed it! We never had a village idiot in my day. As you pointed out, we had jobs.

LOL at that headline!

Biden should provide even more fodder for Russian taunting.

The Biden signals will be by semaphore.

Unfortunately, there is no longer anyone in Russia capable of receiving a semaphore message

Biden is going over to reassure Poland and the Balkans.
Bet they are relieved.
Best and brightest the dimrats could come up with.

What’s the lastest count of “VIPs” wasting tax dollars on this? First o flexed his muscles, then Mr. Vietnam, then McBlather and now the brains of the group flies over on our dime.

Is this all we have to offer? Three inept clowns, Obama, Biden and Kerry to do the job. What has this country sunk to and what kind of signal does this send to the rest of the world?

Now THAT sounds like a ‘clown question’ Bro....<: <:

Need the picture of the guy with the confused look and ‘palm slap’.....

We thought we were ‘disrespected’ (don’t really believe I used THAT word...next I will be using ‘verbally conversated’) with that Buffoon Carter in office, at least he had the decency to try and thwart us with his ‘Killer Wabbit’ stories and he DID lock himself in the White House with the heat down and the lights off while in his Cardigan Sweater.
BUT HE SHUT HIS F’N MOUTH
