Joe Biden a No-Show to Greet Japanese PM‐and the Preview of a President Harris Is Awful
[PJ] On Friday, President Joe Biden was supposed to welcome the first international head of state to visit the White House during his administration. According to the staffer who runs the president’s Twitter account, Biden was looking forward to this press avail:

I’m not sure what it is about our alliance with Japan that needs renewing. It’s been pretty solid for decades, and President Donald Trump was a staunch ally against Chinese aggression, the biggest threat to the island nation. There were actually protests in Japan on Inauguration Day 2021. The New York Post credits President Trump’s close relationship with former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his willingness to stand up to China as the reason for his support in Japan.

Hyperbole aside, Biden was a no-show. Instead, Vice President Kamala Harris welcomed Prime Minister Suga. While she got through it without the hideous cackle that is usually present when she is nervous, her performance was still rather hideous:

#2 Watching the brief video of the vice president’s little speech of welcome, it’s clear she was very uncomfortable in the role, and is likely deeply regretting the bargain that got her there. And then the president missed the meeting altogether, only showing up over an hour late to the press conference afterward — if they have the PM Abe’s hotel room bugged, the transcript will no doubt be educational.

#3 clear she was very uncomfortable in the role

Appears as if she was pulled in at the last minute when they couldn't find Joe.

#5 I still yearn for the day when foreign leaders just flat-out snub that tramp.

#7 After realizing the state of Biden's dementia I am sure Kamala realized she was in over her head and you can almost sense that every time you see her appearing to be like a deer in the headlights look.

#9 I watched the video with the sound off because I can't stand the sound of that woman's voice. But I will say it was nice of the PM to stand there with a straight face the whole time she was speaking.

#13 No excuse for that tramp or the various aides. I almost think it is more bull sh!t to make it look like it was a "real surprise" when everybody and their brother knows that the tramp needs to be prepared for everything as is she already were the prez.

*happy sigh* Playing on a very old descriptor that I first discovered in one of the later Heinlein novels.
