President Biden on Sunday lashed out at reporters who asked if he regretted his fist bump with Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, who approved the 2018 operation that killed journalist Jamal Khashoggi, according to U.S. intelligence assessments.
“Why don’t you guys talk about something that matters?” Biden told the reporters at the White House after returning from Saudi Arabia. “I’m happy to answer a question that matters.” The fist bump received widespread criticism as a sign that Biden was cozying up to Saudi leaders. Biden previously vowed to make Saudi Arabia “the pariah that they are”

come on, man. Let me be honest with ya, The only readon I give a rat's a s s about the Khashoggi crap is he was a part time WaPo."journalist" so I have to act outraged in order please the media to get good press. Here's the deal. We, the Saudis and the clintoons murder people all the time, no biggie, but Salman went after someone in the self important, self absorbed, arrogant media and they have to remind the world how important they are. No joke.

I hope I don't offend anyone here, but I consider this "fist bump" a totally ridiculous gesture/greeting. You either shake hands with someone or you do not. If you have health issues, wear a glove. The feeling you get when grip a person's hand gives you an indication of who, or what you are dealing with. Shaking someone's hand, or refusing to do so, should send a message. I can't imagine closing a deal or an agreement of any kind with a fist bump. Perhaps I am just old fashion.

Proper response from reporter: "With all due respect, Mr. President, the fist-bump does matter because it is a friendly gesture usually shared between buddies, and you fist-bumped a man you promised to make a pariah. And the reason you are here, making nice with this would-be pariah, is because your policies have taken the nation from fully energy independent to desperately dependent on this pariah. Do you regret the fist-bump? Do you regret the policies? What are you going to do now to avoid begging pariahs for oil? Change back to the Trump policies?"

The mountain of hard evidence that the Biden Crime Family has been selling out America to foreign countries for fun and profit with Hunter the front man, brother James the bag man, and 10% for the Big Guy? Yeah, that matters. Let’s talk!

Pariah? Oh, pariah! When Despicable Joe saw it on his giant teleprompter - - he thought it said "parish."
No, Despicable Joe - - the Saudis don't have parishes - - they're p-a-r-i-a-h-s.

The fist bump matters, and it matters a lot. The image shows at the very beginning the character of the person, no need to look further.

Lame Duck Joe's brain pill was wearing off. He became a petulant child. Edith Wilson was nowhere to shield her ticket to fame.

Okay. Something that matters.
If you are going to claim that "war" is the reason for high gas prices, then why aren't you making the Keystone Pipeline a wartime national priority?

For those of you who did not see the CBS special on Glen Campbell's final tour, (he had dementia) I would urge you to watch it - available on You Tube.
Campbell, in 2011, was at the point of Dementia that I believe Jo Biden is at right now,. And during that documentary, you will see Campbell behaving in ways that are scarily like Biden's behavior. Take special note of Campbell's irrational short bursts of anger.
We are in deep trouble as a nation, if we can't remove such a person from the presidency.

It's amazing, the hubris that Biden has, to accuse the press of not asking questions 'about things that matter'! So if they do, like Peter Doocy did once, then Biden calls them stupid SOBs. Then his handlers lead him off without addressing a single question. Oh dear Lord how much more do we need to take of these fools?

#14 is correct. I saw it happen to a friend's mother. She became irrational and angry at almost anything as she slipped into dementia. I actually think this was a cause of the Afghan disaster. Joe wanted out NOW against the advice of even his woke generals and advisors. Trump had a plan to get out in stages, and Joe wanted to show the world he could move faster. Completely irrational, and he is stumbling now toward nuclear war. God help us.

Kudos to #3.
This is just another "crisis" that the idiot created to go along with all of those that Edith is whining about. It was his idea to go there. Didn't even think far enough ahead to consider the optics when first meeting his host.

Why are we pretending that democrats cared about dead “journalists”? We knew they didn’t. They only care about using it to get power. They don’t value human life. They sure are good at pretending they do though. That is, until they need gas prices to go down because they are sinking in the polls: it’s about power. It always has been, and it always will be. This is SOP.
