It's bad enough paying for all this without also getting kicked in the nuts by your guests.

As for Biden, he loves to play the Irish card, when in fact his ancestors are as English as they are Irish.

Joe seems to think because his ancestors arrived from Ireland in 1842, that makes him Irish, however no other group of people act like this. A lot of people have historic Irish ancestors in England and in Australia, but they don't go around calling themselves Irish. The UK has the largest population of first generation Irish after Ireland itself, and they would just laugh if such people went up to them claiming to be Irish.

What is it with US Dems - also can US Presidents not read, because the Good Friday Agreement has nothing to do with the border, whilst if anyone is inflaming the situation it is the EU, and there has been trouble in protestant unionist areas because of it.

I also don't quite understand all this mythology regarding Ireland, or is it just to appease voters, although you would have thought they would do the same thing in terms of Italy, which has a big US population. Then again due largely to the Dems US demography is largely changing, and Biden and his ilk are a dying breed, which are being replaced by Mexicans and Central/South Americans.

Biden says 'America is back at the table' as 1st foreign trip continues

President Joe Biden declared that "America is back at the table" Sunday as he concluded his first Group of Seven summit on his first overseas trip as president and prepared to head for Brussels for another round of talks with top allies at a NATO summit.

"America's back in the business of leading the world alongside nations who share our most deeply held values," Biden said during a press conference at the conclusion of the G-7 summit.

"I think we've made some progress in re-establishing American credibility among our closest friends," Biden continued, in an indirect reference to his predecessor, former President Donald Trump, who rattled traditional multilateral alliances during his presidency with his "America First" approach to foreign policy.

I know the Pew family personally and like some of them, but they are far left, rich elite. Oil money. Ironic huh?

Biden talking like a commentator or analyst before the summit is even complete shows is more about his legacy than the actual G7 dealings.

Biden seems to have been pretty forceful in at least some of his arguments there.

Joe will hand Putin the keys to America in exchange for some positive praise from Putin about what a worthy adversary Joe is.
