 Biden seeks sharp contrast to Trump to mark D-Day in France
by Brett Samuels and Alex Gangitano - 06/04/24 4:30 PM ET

President Biden will depart Tuesday night for France, where he will spend the rest of the week seeking to draw a sharp contrast in values and in global leadership with former President Trump, his 2024 political rival.

Biden is set to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion alongside other world leaders and deliver remarks focused on democracy and freedom, a major tentpole of his reelection bid.

The president will cap off his visit with a stop at the same cemetery where Trump was unable to visit due to weather in 2018 and reportedly referred to those buried there as “losers” and “suckers,” comments Biden has repeatedly cited to attack his predecessor.

The trip will give Biden a stage to sharply differentiate himself from Trump at a time when the former president is already reeling from a New York jury finding him guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records as part of a hush money scheme.

“President Biden has made revitalizing our relationships a key priority, recognizing of course that we are stronger when we act together and that today’s challenges require global solutions and global responses,” said White House national security communications adviser John Kirby.

Biden has in recent months more frequently brought up the claims from former Trump aides that, during a trip to France of his own in 2018, Trump demeaned veterans wounded or killed in action as “suckers.”

Biden, during a fundraiser on Monday, hit Trump for those comments.

“Losers and suckers! Who in the hell does he think he is?” Biden said, raising his voice in front of a room of donors.

I doubt anyone other than the mainstream media is going to spend much time or attention on ol' white joe's visit there.

The claims were proven false by the people who were with Trump the entire time of the visit. That Politico doesn't at least point out that witnesses have contradicted the claims illustrates how in-the-tank they are for LIEden. Not that I'm surprised. Politico also failed to mention that the day following the weather-cancelled visit Trump visited another, slightly more distant, WW1 cemetery.

Biden Lands in France for D-Day Commemorations as Ukraine’s Shadow Looms Large

Simon Kent 5 Jun 2024



U.S. President Joe Biden touched down on French soil early Wednesday morning ahead of Europe’s D-Day commemorations as Ukraine’s ongoing war with Russia continues to roil the continent.

Flying aboard Air Force One, Biden landed at Paris Orly airport to be welcomed by Prime Minister Gabriel Attal.

Along with French President Emmanuel Macron, British King Charles III and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, AFP reports Biden will on Thursday salute the heroism of the Allied troops who gave their lives often far from home in the landings on June 6, 1944 to free Europe from Nazi occupation.

It will be a first foreign visit for King Charles since his cancer diagnosis.

The sacrifice of Allied soldiers will be centre stage however German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Italian President Sergio Mattarella will attend as a sign of international post-World-War-II reconciliation, the AFP report details.

As the great and the good honor those who paid the highest price for freedom 80 years ago, the war that has raged in Ukraine since Russia’s February 24, 2022 invasion will take centre stage with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also attending and scheduled to meet with Biden, according to the White House.

No official from Russia has been invited, after Paris reversed plans to host lower-level representatives in recognition of the Soviet Union’s immense contribution in World War II.

President Joe Biden landed in Paris, France on Wednesday ahead of Thursday's ceremonies to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day and immediately did what we all, unfortunately, expect him to do these days: He called a lid.

And Beau, don't forget it'll will first and foremost be all about Joe and Beau. I fully expect our excrement in chief to turn this into a campaign speech and about how he knows all about the loss of a son in combat..........because that's what pieces of excrement do.

[mountaineer]

He'll say something stupid, like, "Eighty years ago, brave American servicemen - and women - landed on these beaches and many lost their lives at the hands of the enemy. I know something about loss. My son Beau served in Iraq and lost his life there from cancer. Then when our kitchen caught fire and my whole family all nearly died in the con-, the con-, excuse me, the conflag-, anyway, uh, the fire - I, uh ... well, I probably shouldn't talk about it. So we salute the brave soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normpfammwbbw. Where's that cute Mrs. Macron? I'd like a sniff."

Will Biden mention Beau's name in the 2 speeches he will give in France tomorrow?

I hear Jill flew to France separately. Apparently, "climate change" and "carbon footprints" are irrelevant.

I hear she was told about some lovely sofa fabric there and wanted to get a new dress to surprise Joe.

I once shopped at a fabric store on Montmartre, if she needs suggestions.

Looks like he took a dump.

I'm 100% sure!

Joe is the equivalent of very expired mustard that keeps getting pushed to the back of the fridge instead of tossing it in the garbage where it belongs.

Biden Drops First Bomb On Normandy In 80 Years
World · Jun 6, 2024 · BabylonBee.com

In a solemn and moving ceremony of remembrance on the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, President Biden marked the occasion by dropping the first bomb on Normandy in 80 years.

"Help me out Jill, I'm having a bit of a D-Day of my own in my Depends here," the President was overheard saying to the first lady as he bent over slowly and deposited a massive load of fecal matter in his pants. "Oh, boy, this is a big one. Get me out of here and help me clean this up before President Macron smells it! Not a joke!"

The President was then seen shuffling off in the middle of the ceremony, led by his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, who is a real doctor. ...
