Biden’s double-down of President Barack Obama’s Cuba policy is another example of his willingness to sell out America's longstanding commitments to freedom in Latin America, in order to win over the far-left wing of today’s Democratic Party.

Why don't you post your own, British views, about these things instead of opinions of political hacks?

Trump complaining about Obama's golfing during the ebola problem.

Trump golfing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

America nodding along. Nothing new.

Quote
Trump complained after the second confirmed case of Ebola on “Fox and Friends” in 2014 that Obama shouldn’t be spending any time golfing.

“There are times to play and times that you can’t play. It sends the wrong signal,” Trump declared.

“You know when you’re president you sorta say, like, ‘I’m gonna give it up for a couple of years and I’m really gonna focus on the job,’” he added. Trump couldn’t help noting: “Golf is a great game; nobody likes it more than me.”

Here is the very best possible response to Donald Trump's urging the Churches to open "right away, this weekend."

From the Bishop-elect of the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Missouri, Deon K. Johnson:

"The work of the church is essential.
The work of caring for the lonely, the marginalized, and the oppressed is essential.
The work of speaking truth to power and seeking justice is essential.
The work of being a loving, liberating, and life giving presence in the world is essential.
The work of welcoming the stranger, the refugee and the undocumented is essential.
The work of reconciliation and healing and caring is essential.
The church does not need to “open” because the church never “closed”. We who make up the Body of Christ, the church, love God and our neighbors and ourselves so much that we will stay away from our buildings until it is safe. We are the church."

But Trump's not out to have them open because the people need them. It's because Trump needs the people.

American AND Human, in the finest form.

Kiid reads stuff like this and he just feels the grip of the Devil around the scruff of his neck pulling him back down into hell or deeper into New Jersey.
