Ha ha , Biden will be remembered as a weakest President in 🇺🇸 history.
Now that we have a painter who can demand the same prices as Monet, we are France's equal. Thank God Hunter Biden's art is so remarkable.
Let's see, voilà. Biden fukked Macron in the azz and now he's smilingly quipping the fudge was "clumsy"…
Didn't know Uncle Joe is into packing fudge in French President's azz… non!
Let's go Brandon,
What about Australia? As European, I’m with my French brothers and sisters!
Lets go brandon
You are to old to be President
“Clumsy” could describe any random 5 minutes of this senile clown’s life
Let's go B
My parents are legal immigrants to the US. They were separated for years waiting for paperwork to go through. California is giving money to criminals to not commit crime. Biden wants to give money to illegals. Nice role model for America. When are we going to teach kids how to rob banks in schools? Let's Go Brandon indeed.
F Biden
What a country!

REBRAND BRANDON to PENTADON❗❗Biden is not your biggest shame and embarrassment, if anything, he is dangerously inspiring sympathy and empathy for USA in other parts of the world due to his progressive dementia, and that MUST NOT be happening as it works like a Trojan Horse, concealing the REAL MONSTER, the Military Industrial Complex, the killing, genocidal machine that will still be there, Biden or no Biden. Demand downsizing of the MONSTER for lasting world peace❗❗
Ur all slaves of ur own machine
Forced to wear mask, pressured to take a shot of poison….
I think everyone hated Nazi Germany cuzz of things like this…. Wipe ur drool everyone 🤪🎭
Hay' Biden you're no friend of mine.
#PoopyPantsBiden
When Joe apologizes, when he says he was not aware, he is frank and honest as a donkey going backwards! he never looks macron in the eye …. he looks everywhere else but never in the eye …. he is a liar.
Biden weakness and confusion:
– He shut down oil and gas lease sales from the nation’s vast public lands and waters in his first days in office. Now his administration has to figure out what to do with the multi-Trillion dollar program without crushing a significant sector of the U.S. economy!!
– He cancelled the Keystone pipeline and lifted sanctions of the Russia pipeline to Germany and Putin cheered him and immediately accepted him in his closed door office in Mosco!
– He removed the Yemen Houthi groups from 'terrorist list' , and they cheered him on and started to strike Saudi Arabia airports and refineries to raise gas prices!
– He also canceled billions of $ army equipment contracts to Saudi Arabia!
Now he's disappointed in Saudi Arabia and Russia, because they do not extract more oil!!
– Because of the jump in oil price, China is using more coal in industry!
Biden in the climate conference said that he does not care about the poll numbers, he does whatever has been ordered(to ruin the country) and he was napping most of the time over the conference!
– Ignoring the $30T national Debt that its interest is raising every second. The radical Dems failed in the math exam and they do not know how big is $1 T!
– $100 B (many countries' budgets are less than this amount) for immigrants (including $450 k for each single family that illegally passed the USA borders)!!
– $400 B for enforcement increases at the IRS (nation's tax collection agency)!!
.- $550 B for climate change! (this money goes to China for selling solar panels and Electric Batteries)
– $320 B tax credit for Solar panels and wind turbines (made in China) (US taxpayers pay directly to China)!
– $150B "clean electricity performance program?!"
– $400B for child care and preschool!-
– $150B to build or improve more than 1 million new housing units and help with rental and down payment assistance!.
– 15% minimum tax will be imposed on corporate profits that large corporations report to shareholders, as well as a 1% surcharge on corporate stock buybacks!
From a french entrepreneur : we are still furious. We will not support you in the next big crisis.
you must notify everyone that ships on the territory of the LDNR and the Russian Federation are not allowed, for any reason
LET'S GO BRANDON
Have you noticed that almost every "biden" video has WAYYYY more dislikes?? EVERY SINGLE video on the White House channel has more dislikes 10 to 1 at a minimum. Yes, I'm serious. This is a direct translation to what Americans think of him. Even most hard left media channels have more dislikes. This is, by far the WORST president in US history. The amazing thing about it is, he did it in 9 months. You all are now starting to see the disaster unfold. The sad thing is, it's going to get a lot worse. You will lose your freedoms. Your taxes will be the highest in recorded history. Welcome to socialism, you will never get your freedom back. Remember, you voted for this.
Let’s go Brandon!
Let's go Brandon!
He can make a mushroom sing.
