      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Biden “I promise not to run in 2024”

        Saudi, “we’re more concerned with your biking”

          Probably not a lot. I did not expect Biden to bring up Jamal Khashoggi when he met with the Saudi crown prince, but he did, very upfront about it too. That means important principles are still being defended. Good.

            That was CNN.

            Lots of diplomatic doublespeak. However, I'm not sure it rises to the level of "defending important principles."

              LOL Definitely when you read/see/hear transcripts from different leaders that are designed for their home audience.

              Oftentimes, they seem to be saying opposite things. 555

              Diplomacy at its best!!
