Biden Went to Saudi Arabia to Mend Fences With the Nation, Which He Once Vowed to Make "Pariahs."
He Finished By Calling Them Liars.

The Adults are Back in Charge.

I don't know. Those words feel more and more hollow.

Biden fist-bumped the Saudi Crown Prince Mohamad bin Salman. He had declared the Saudis a "pariah" nation for the presumed execution of Qatari spy and Washington Post "journalist" Jamal Kashoggi, who spoke limited English, but "wrote" an English language anti-Saudi column for the Post. The column was certainly written by his Qatari handlers.

This scandalized the "journalists" who are all in favor of war and killing unless it's a fake "journalist" (is there any other kind?) who winds up on the wrong side of state violence. Jake Tapper pressed Chris Coons on why Joe Biden fist-bumped a "murderer" like bin Salem.

The obvious answer is that "because he's the head of a state and an ally, as many other 'murderers' are," but Fake Jake was, as usual, in Righteous Moral Cleanser of the Nation mode.

I know this seems like Fake Jake is being "fair" and grilling the Democrats, but he's just championing the party he identifies with most closely -- the Media Party -- to the party he identifies with second most closely -- the Democrat Party.


Because Joe Biden is a prisoner of the left, and must appease every single demand of the far left, from The Squad to the fake "journalists" of corporate media, he was then compelled to lie about his discussions with the Saudi prince, claiming that he had faced him down, steely-eyed, and confronted him face-to-face, and accused him of murder.

That's a lie, the Saudi foreign minister said. Biden certainly said nothing of the kind to the prince.

So who's telling the truth here?

Well, even though the leftwing corporate press is pretty sure the Saudis executed a fake "journalist," in a contest of credibility... they side with the Saudis.

Because Joe Biden is really just an inveterate liar and is constantly telling completely fabricated stories in which he's a Tough Guy staring down dictators and terrorists and malefactors of all kinds.

Peter Baker of the New York Times points out that Lyin' Joe Biden takes as many liberties with the truth as he does with 12 year old girls' hair:

As President Biden told the tale, it sounded pretty dramatic.

After meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler, on Friday for the first time since taking office, the president insisted that he had pointedly blamed him for the murder of the columnist Jamal Khashoggi.
"He basically said that he was not personally responsible for it," Mr. Biden recounted to reporters. "I indicated that I thought he was."


The only hitch? That's not the way it happened, according to Saudi officials. Adel al-Jubeir, the Saudi minister of state for foreign affairs, who was present for the encounter, told reporters that he had not heard the president blame the crown prince.

The White House on Saturday did not back down. "The president was very clear about the conversation, and we stand by his account," said John Kirby, the coordinator for strategic communications at the National Security Council.

Asked by reporters after landing back in Washington whether the Saudi minister was telling the truth, Mr. Biden replied simply, "No." He seemed exasperated by the second-guessing of his trip. When a reporter asked if he regretted the fist bump he had greeted Prince Mohammed with, he complained, "Why don't you guys talk about something that matters?"

Both sides had an interest in spinning the closed-door meeting....

Mr. Biden is by nature a storyteller with a penchant for embellishment.

That is putting it very charitably, and very understatedly.

He has often told the story of meeting President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia in 2011 as vice president and telling him, "I'm looking into your eyes, and I don't think you have a soul." Others present at the time had no memory of that specific exchange.

Mr. Biden has similarly described an unvarnished confrontation in 1993 with Slobodan Milosevic, the Serbian nationalist leader who unleashed an ethnic war in the Balkans. "I think you're a damn war criminal and you should be tried as one," Mr. Biden, then a senator, related having told Mr. Milosevic, according to a 2007 memoir, "Promises to Keep." Some other people in the room later said they did not recall that line.

Mr. Biden likes presenting himself as standing up to dictators and crooked figures.

...

Often, others in the room for such sessions say that some version of what Mr. Biden has described did take place, only not with quite as much camera-ready theatricality. During his presidential campaign, for instance, he told a moving story about honoring a war hero that fact checkers at The Post later concluded conflated elements of three actual events into a version that did not happen.

In offering their softer version of what transpired between Mr. Biden and Prince Mohammed on Friday, the Saudis were not seeking to call out the president for misrepresenting it. In fact, they seemed anxious to avoid any perception of differences or tension. Princess Reema bint Bandar al-Saud, the Saudi ambassador to the United States, told reporters that when it came to the Khashoggi case, the conversation "was candid."

The question was, how candid?

So President Ice Cream cone went to Saudi Arabia to basically apologize for having vowed to make them a "pariah" and beg them to pump more oil in order to save his presidency, and then lied about having berated and insulted the Crown Prince by calling him a murderer to his face.

And then compounded that by calling them liars about denying that happened.

I'd say that this particular Biden diplomatic mission went... about as well as I expected it would.

How about you, NeverTrump? Is the "Adults Are Back In Charge" Administration performing up to your high expectations or nah?
