Sleepy Joe referring to himself as not effective and defeated

[txhookey]

Defeated and would be the one to know.

[sphinxonsand]

at this point this guy is just a place holder for his position, he can only read and flip scripts from his handlers. no real executive decisions being made on his behalf to make this deescalation.

[peartfaldo]

Why would anyone listen to anything this thing says. what a joke

[revelation]

Israel never was hurt according to Western media. We believe you

[kevingregory]
