    It’s so odd to have a president who is secure enough and has the humility to admit fault.

    Even today, Trump is claiming he intentionally mixes up Obama and Biden in speeches.

      Admit fault … in a private meating with the parties offended by the faulty statement. Will he give a national speach walking back the statement he made in a national speach?

      This was not a mis speak. This was not a mistake. Biden made a political calculation for how to talk about the conflict. He is trying to appease both sides of the issue by changing his position depending on who he is talking to.

          I can’t. Happy?

          Biden is less terrible than Trump, yes. In the general election, he still has my vote. Do we need to carefully declaim this every single time we criticize him?

          He’s also holding onto power when he shouldn’t, and likely to hand the Whitehouse back to Trump as a result, just like Clinton handed it over last time. Democrats should be demanding he step down, en masse, and let somebody with more integrity run, before it’s too late. He is not helping.

            Perhaps we do?

    Honestly, seeing/hearing the words “I will do better” from a President is what real leadership actually looks like. It’s sad that it’s borderline inspiring, but in this climate, it’s at least an attempt at statesmanship.

      Using reader mode on iOS just gives an eBay page with some odd file. It’s junk website site even if you subscribe to their spin.

    They hand picked 5 people to attend a discussion about Palestinians and only one of them was actually Palestinian.

      Why would they send more, and why do you think those four people representing a different nation, as members of that nation, didn’t need to hear the discussion?

          My argument is that it’s pretty common to send organizational members to discussions, conventions, and meetings to learn things.

            This was a meeting with Joe Biden. I would argue he’d have a few things to learn on this matter.

            My argument about not including Palestinian voices is that you’re ignoring the people most impacted there.

    He’s trying to do damage control, too late for that. He’s allowed it to go on way too long.

    Paid Zionists are gonna do Zionists things though
