I fail to see why both sides are making so much of this. The reality is Saudi Arabia, despite all their warts, is necessary for peace in the region and the strongest ally if there's a war.

Biden arrives in Saudi Arabia a ‘much diminished president,’ the kingdom’s former intel chief says
POINTS
  • During his visit over the weekend, Biden is expected to urge the Saudi government to ramp up oil production in a bid to rein in soaring costs, which in part drove U.S. inflation to a four-decade high of 9.1% in June ahead of crucial midterm elections in November.
  • Speaking to CNBC’s Hadley Gamble on Friday, Prince Turki Al-Faisal said Biden was coming in as a “much diminished president” compared with when he was inaugurated in January 2021.

However, relations between the two countries remain strained on account of the current administration’s outspoken condemnation of Saudi Arabia’s human rights record, an issue Biden has vowed to raise in bilateral talks with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

How many Conservatives have proclaimed him unfit to serve?

Nowhere near enough is the answer.

If Lincoln was resurrected and served as a Democrat conservatives would proclaim him unfit to serve, and you can bet your house that very few conservatives voted for Biden, so having more doesn't mean much

Lincoln was a Republican. The first Republican President IIRC.
 
Only because too many losers keep saying "America is a much diminished country". Sad.

What a very WOKE thing to say......the WOKE not believing that objective reality exists......it is all words. Carlin used to talk alot about how the UTOPIANS have long believed that we change reality by changing the words, we have moved even further into the nonsense now.

The day some asshole finally explains what "woke" means, I'll happily give them a 1,000 JPP points.
 
Yes, the Trump years did that to us.

The behaviour of the Elites when the nation picked Trump has a lot to do with it, that is when much of the world figured out how rotted out America is, but America has been on the decline since about 1950.

Anyone who thinks Trump is a "common man of the people" and not an elitist himself is either delusional or stupid. Maybe both.

If Lincoln was a Democrat would those on the left still say he was a big racist and want to take down his statues, rename schools named after him etc.?
