There are a thousand words being told by that one picture of the failed blogger and the person who wants to destroy us. The looks on their faces tell the entire story of their meeting. It's the day 45 sold us down the river. It's getting really old, having Republicans bring our country and/or our economy to the brink, then having Democrats have to come in and undo all of the damage. President Obama had to do it after President Bush and now President Biden has to almost literally, put the whole world back together. This is a dangerous position to be in, because the Republicans, after destroying everything, use any failure of the Democratic President to fully fix what they broke, against the Democrats, in whatever election is next. I'm getting sick of one of our 2 parties only looking out for themselves, at the expense of the country, and in trump's case, at the expense of the rest of the world. I don't want to have to hold my breath every election cycle, waiting to see if we're going to survive. That's no way to live. This is exhausting.

The EU will be watching - as are we ourselves - to see if our DOJ lives up to its responsibilities in charging Trump for his myriad of crimes. If not, we are pretty well doomed.

I too have wondered about that private meeting and the translator’s notes. Helsinki was a horror.

What has struck me is how perfectly suited President Biden is for the presidency at this moment. We are only a few months into it but I already can’t imagine any of the other presidential candidates in that job.

This isn’t President Biden’s first meeting with Vlad Putin, nor is it his first meeting with our NATO allies. After the former president blatantly irritated & insulted our allies it literally takes a mature, politically

savvy, experienced person to navigate foreign policy at this time. Our allies know President Biden. They know he understands Western European issues and they trust him

to be effective on their behalf when he meets with Putin.

After four years of staggering incompetence it’s like having a fresh spring breeze wafting over us as President Biden normalizes our foreign relationships.

“May you live in interesting times” is supposedly an old Chinese curse that means, may you live in times of uncertainty, strife and disorder. But some interpret it as meaning we have opportunities that God provides each individual to grow and meet his/her true potential.

Right now it feels to me like we are at a metaphorical fork in the road. We can easily continue living with disorder and fear, or we can realize our true potential as citizens of the most powerful nation in the modern world.

We can't reverse 4 years of damage and lies in one trip. It will take 4 more years
