Oh well.

The tight-assed hayseed bit is just icing on the cake!

who is even stupider than Dump. This worthless piece of flesh makes my skin crawl.

I think Eric and Don Jr. would give him a pretty good run for the money.

Willfully ignorant + a religious nutjob

Go away. Nobody is going to listen to anything you have to say.

Our allies know how unfit the orange buffoon is.

The look on his face as he bites his lip with the realization no one is going to clap is great!

Maybe he and Trump are aliens from some far off part of the galaxy.

"I bring greetings from the Galactic Federation." Or something like that.

Why did he wait so long before resuming with his comments. That just made it all the more glaring.

blindsided and in danger of losing his composure. That wasn't supposed to happen, it wasn't even something he had considered could happen.

Wasn't it just great!!!

“...and gee golly willikers I guess I really didn’t need the Mississippis after all, did I?”

They would, by definition, not be interested in the slightest in greetings from Donald Trump--or, for that matter, in anyone coming there to convey them.

Trump has shit on our allies at every opportunity.

They should have thrown Pompous Pence out on his ass.

If I look at them too long I get kind of trance-y.

They showed it on CNN since he is still deciding whether to run or not. Biden was well received in Germany and has a lot of support there. Pence isn't popular there either.

"Biden tells the Munich Security Conference that the America he sees "stands up to the aggression of dictators and against strongmen who rule by coercion, corruption and violence."

"He says his country "values basic human decency, not snatching children from their parents or turning our backs on refugees at our border. Americans know that's not right."

No thank you.

Before possibly jumping to the wrong conclusion.

Pence should leave with his tail between his legs. He represents what real Americans don't...nationalism and murderous dictators. He never should be considered a patriot but is supporting and enabling a traitor. His ties are mixed up with Russia too. Europeans know this and are more aware of it than many Americans.

You remember that shit? Here's your farewell kiss you dog! I still chuckle every time I'm reminded of that briefing in Iraq!

Instead, he sends his minion so he has more Executive Time.

n/t

Just pathetic.

You are no longer at a Trump rally, Mike, where they applaud every word, falsehood, and sound-bite. The silence is deafening, and growing larger every day.

jesus on a stick...

it's already too freakin' big by a factor of like 10 !!

Is armed like no other country. Crass to mention it constantly

pretty telling, eh? Pence was lucky they didn't throw shoes or rotten veggies.

trump does not deserve any respect from other leaders

Can everyone hear me?

The German news service Deutsche Welle has revealed that the State Department downgraded the diplomatic status of the European Union’s delegation to the United States at some point in the second half of 2018, without actually informing the European Union. The E.U. delegation in Washington had previously been recognized as the equivalent to a national embassy. The head of the delegation was listed as an ambassador by the Office of the Chief of Protocol. Now, the State Department’s list of the diplomatic order of precedence lists the European Union under “heads of delegation,” along with the head of delegation of the African Union ...

The downgrade and the lack of courtesy shown by not informing the European Union in advance fits well with the Trump administration’s hostility to the E.U. as a multilateral institution. Just last month in Brussels, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo lambasted the European Union (and other institutions such as the United Nations and the African Union) ...

The 2009 Lisbon Treaty created a new European Union diplomatic service, the European External Action Service, headed up by a high representative for foreign affairs and security policy. In the treaty, the member states also granted “legal personality” to the European Union. This means the European Union can enter into agreements with states and international organizations. Before this, only the European Community “pillar” of the European Union — that is, the part responsible for negotiating and concluding trade agreements — could enter into international agreements. With international legal personality and a new diplomatic service, the European Union comes close to demanding other states treat it as a special actor, and almost as an equal ...

No matter how many times a "true believer" is slapped in the face with reality...It's always a shocker for them!

If that’s all he encountered it was his lucky day.

that usually goes over big in the areas where he speaks.
