Wow. That is a mind blowing quote. Has there been any other nation on earth running more interference internationally over the last 80 years than the United States? Both politically and militarily?

LOL, okay, I'll give you this one. That's an utterly obtuse and tone deaf quote from Joe. But hey, what do you expect him to say?

Oh, nothing on the subject at all? Yeah, that's probably the better choice.

^That attitude reminds me of the Putin press conference yesterday. He said "There is no happiness in life. Only a mirage." I was watching that and thinking that's the difference right there. Can you imagine Biden saying a line like that?

"mind blowing quote".

Do you guys not remember Trump and his meeting with Putin and Trump taking his word over US intelligence.

Whoa, trump clarified that, he said there he has seen no reason that it would be Russia, when he meant to say he saw no reason it wouldn't be Russia.

Even a linguistic genius like Trump makes the odd mistake in a critical speech.

“I know words. I have the best words.”

Doesn't sound like he's playing dumb to me lol.

Cool. Do you remember that Trump isn't the president anymore, so we can now judge Biden's words/actions on their own merits rather than in comparison to the worst president of all time?

[Monahammer]

Biden played for the world stage earlier, this comment is for the homecrowd. Not even many of the democrats in the US believe that they are obtusely interfering on the global stage.

Edit: + I would be willing to bet that Biden believes his allies in Europe and south Asia will gladly buy into this narrative against Russian and Chinese imperialism due to their own self interest as well.

Yeah, I have to agree with the rube. Trump should be considered an anomaly in the dataset, judging presidential actions using his behavior as a yardstick would be a really bad idea.

Doncha' know, Trump is being reinstated in August.

It's certainly not "mind blowing"

Trump is still the favorite for the GOP next election, you guys can pretend he is gone but he isn't.

'Obamacare' survives: Supreme Court dismisses big challenge

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court, though increasingly conservative in makeup, rejected the latest major Republican-led effort to kill the national health care law known as “Obamacare” on Thursday, preserving insurance coverage for millions of Americans.

The justices, by a 7-2 vote, left the entire Affordable Care Act intact in ruling that Texas, other GOP-led states and two individuals had no right to bring their lawsuit in federal court. The Biden administration says 31 million people have health insurance because of the law, which also survived two earlier challenges in the Supreme Court.

Trump’s appointees — Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh — split their votes. Kavanaugh and Barrett joined the majority. Gorsuch was in dissent, signing on to an opinion from Justice Samuel Alito.

Justice Stephen Breyer wrote for the court that the states and people who filed a federal lawsuit “have failed to show that they have standing to attack as unconstitutional the Act’s minimum essential coverage provision.”

In dissent, Alito wrote, “Today’s decision is the third installment in our epic Affordable Care Act trilogy, and it follows the same pattern as installments one and two. In all three episodes, with the Affordable Care Act facing a serious threat, the Court has pulled off an improbable rescue.” Alito was a dissenter in the two earlier cases in 2012 and 2015, as well.

Like Alito, Justice Clarence Thomas was in dissent in the two earlier cases, but he joined Thursday's majority, writing, “Although this Court has erred twice before in cases involving the Affordable Care Act, it does not err today."

... this literally has nothing to do with judging Biden's words on their merit instead of using Trump as the barometer, but okay. Mind-blowing, no. Remarkable given the US often plays that role for its own interests in other countries? Yes.

Someone said it was mind blowing...I disagreed

Saw that "The Blacks" was trending, initially thought maybe New Zealand was playing rugby, ignored the far more logical reason
