When the Man Meets the Moment

[Jolly]

I knew it wasn't going to be about Biden...

[George K]

@jon-nyc I saw a story that said when he took office, he discontinued the policy that staffers have a picture of the president in their offices. He wanted staff in government offices to hang pictures of their family instead.

"When you make a decision, think of them, not of me."

No idea if it's true, but it's a nice story nonetheless.

Or Trump.

[George K]

Or (Bill) Clinton

Ok, but I’m not quite sure September 2013 is the moment we’re talking about.

Fair 'nuff. That was probably just after the "more flexibility" happened.

Trump's, et al, statements were as tone deaf as one could be. There's no way to defend them.

[LuFins Dad]

[Horace]

Anybody care to speculate what the difference in US response would be if Trump were president?

[Mik]

I suspect it would be more chaotic. Not a criticism, just an observation of his style.

I was actually surprised by how tasteless he went. Innocent people are dying and that stupid asshole is complementing the guy who's killing them.

My apologies if anybody is offending by this virtue signaling.

His inaugural address:

This is why I really do not want my pictures in your offices, for the President is not an icon, an idol or a portrait. Hang your kids’ photos instead, and look at them each time you are making a decision.

I'm not sure it would have happened with Trump.

Can you predict exactly what Trump would do in this situation? Nope?

Neither could Putin...

And if it did it most definitely would have been somebody else's fault.

Based on this it is clear you aren't even aware of what the moment is. Trump is not only the only president since Reagan that DID meet the moment, he did so while being bombarded by democrat lies designed to subvert the e ill of the people. And in spite of the lie your picture tries to imply, is the only president in recent history to not only NOT get us into a war, but to get us out of the ones we were already in.

You know, it doesn't matter. All the hot air, second guessing, bat-wing busting, bravado bullshit doesn't matter.

What matters is what Putin thinks.

Now, Dr. Evil, if you were intent on taking over a sovereign country, who would you rather have opposing you...Pick one: A) Biden B)Trump.

Trump. But that doesn't mean I have to, like, kiss his ass.

[Jolly]

You don't have to kiss his ass. You don't even have to like the man.

The most effective boss I ever worked for, was a 24kt, solid gold asshole.

What do you think the chances are that at the end of all this, Velensky drops a hugely incriminating file about Hunter and Burisma on the internet then says “Thanks for all the help, Joe…”
