Biden Goes to Saudi Arabia With Hat in Hand and Proves in Presser He’s Returning With Only the Hat – Opinion

We reported that Joe Biden visited Saudi officials Friday. This included the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Biden previously stated that he wouldn’t be meeting MBS.

Biden made some comments after the meeting ended and then took questions.

We noticed that Biden received a lot criticism not only for meeting with him, but also for fist bumping him as he entered the meeting.

Biden said that Jamal Khashoggi was an issue he had raised with MBS. He claimed that MBS believed that Biden was the one responsible. Biden said MBS claimed he wasn’t.

Biden was asked by a reporter during the presser about that criticism over the fist bump; The reporter was told that Khashoggi’s wife had said that any further murder would now be on him. That would get the same answer, he said. Which response would you expect? Is it enough to accuse MBS of murder?

A reporter asked him how he could guarantee there wouldn’t be another murder. In response, Biden laughed, and fired back at the reporter calling it a “silly question.”

You’re getting a lot of attention for your fist bump in the [Saudi]Crown prince

BIDEN: *laughs*

“How can you be sure that another murder…won’t happen again?”

So, here’s a thing. When you’re being asked about taking murder seriously, maybe don’t laugh in response? The point is made. And he just can’t take being challenged on anything, without getting snippy with a reporter yet again.

Biden continued by saying he couldn’t predict anything that might go on, anywhere in the world.

BIDEN: Can I foresee what’s coming? Do you think I can predict anything in the rest of the world, let alone here? No.”

Yes. We do know. That’s why he’s been wrong at everything for going on fifty years now.

Biden listed several issues that had been mentioned during his presser. However, when it came down to raising oil production to lower prices in America, Biden became extremely evasive, not giving any details.

Joe Biden went to Saudi Arabia to ask for oil. He said it would “begin soon.”

“We had a good discussion on ensuring global energy security and adequate oil supplies to support global economic growth,” Biden said. “That will begin shortly. And…I’m doing all I can to increase the supply for the United States of America, which I expect to happen. The Saudis share that urgency and based on our discussions today, I expect we’ll see further steps in the coming weeks.”

That empty and deceptive word soup is your translation? He wants us to think they achieved something, but as we said, there’s nothing new that’s going to happen right now. He’s just hoping they’ll somehow come up with something in the future. That’s just as we reported would happen earlier.

Joe Biden boasts that “there has been a significant change in gasoline prices.”

Biden tried to claim there had been a real change on gas prices, but they’re still far higher under Biden than when he came into office.

Biden of course lied once again, saying he was doing all he could to bring down prices, when indeed, he hasn’t since he hasn’t set free our oil production–he’s only gone, hat in hand to other countries to beg. Until he gets his boot off the neck of the oil companies, that isn’t going to change and we’re stuck in this continual cycle.
