Sometimes, the geriatric dementia patient larping as President of the United States provides little moments of excruciating embarrassment but unintended hilarity.
Since we're stuck with him for another however many long, LONG days - God willing, the world survives it - we have to take it with as good a humor as we can.
So, while news broke yesterday that the US had given the go-ahead to the Ukrainian sweater boy to use American missiles on targets inside Russia, people were naturally a little antsy about who exactly had said "okay" to this. Knowing the limits of POTATUS' remaining four functioning brain cells, three of which are back to engaging in perpetual internal debate over different ice cream flavors now that Trump has won, it does beg the question.
It turns out that was a pretty legit inquiry because as Zelensky was getting the okay from somebody to hit the red button, our fearless, feckless leader was wandering the rainforest searching for spotted frogs, salamanders, and mocha ice cream.
Or simply a way out of the bushes.
Biden just read scripted remarks, answered no questions and then disappeared into the Amazon Rainforest.

Wildest press conference I’ve ever seen in my life lmao. pic.twitter.com/408DGdmxbQ
It must have taken aides a while to haul Gilligan out of the undergrowth, too, because he missed a pretty important and traditional President of the United States 'front-and-center' thing.
All the cool kids were at the G20 Summit gathering in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Bungle in the Jungle with no POTATUS in the picture. https://t.co/PEk5x0v7Wx

Whether this was calculated, or the whole group just got tired of waiting for POTATUS to amble on out from behind his palm tree, sheesh - what a public pop in the chops. If only Biden had the ability to be cognizant of the insult.

Biden was not part of the G20 group photo of leaders.
2 things:
- Biden was just metres away from the G20 family-photo stage, but no one waited for even 10 seconds for Biden to arrive and be part of it.
- The fact that the BRICS leaders took centre stage in this group… pic.twitter.com/d9VzdhZ1dd
"...Where was he?...They're telling them to wait for Biden, guys...Oh, my God...He's behind the palm tree right now..."
Guy's a trip.
And he's all ours, God help us.
As sad as that was, it is mitigated some by knowing there are long faces across the hierarchy of global elites this week. Things aren't as rosy as in years past for their various nefarious plans for world manipulation.
Instead of emerging triumphant with non-binding declarations of assured mutual destruction in hand from the different self-important conferences they all jet off to as if millions of lives depended on their attendance, this year's announcements - if any - are subdued.
The UN's marquee climate conference, COP29, was already a gloomy affair, thanks first to the looming inauguration of Donald Trump as the next US president and the defection of Argentina, who said they were through playing silly climate cult games.
Then, a parade of speakers continued to jack up the messaging, including host country Azerbaijan's president, who championed using fossil fuels as the right of every nation to grow and prosper.
...He had the unmitigated gall to say:
Fossil fuels are a gift from God and giving them up is not realistic, the host of the Cop29 climate summit has said.
Ilham Aliyev, the president of Azerbaijan, defended his country’s oil and gas industry during opening remarks at the conference in the country’s capital Baku on Tuesday.
He said: “As a president of Cop29 of course, we will be a strong advocate for green transition, and we are doing it. But at the same time, we must be realistic.
“Countries should not be blamed for having [oil and gas resources], and should not be blamed for bringing these resources to the market, because the market needs them. The people need them.
As the G20 mucky mucks were flying into Rio, COP29 was winding down with their usual frantic negotiations over messaging and having a bit of a problem hammering out an agreement.
Because no one could nail down a hardline to take.
In a bit of an unusual move, UN Secretary-General António Guterres, no slouch in the Green grifting department himself, sacrificed mightily (hero that he is) by flying off to Rio to strong-arm any G20 leader he could find willing to tell his COP29 reps to sign onto one of those ridiculous pledges.
In Rio de Janeiro, @antonioguterres asks countries at G20 Summit to instruct ministers & negotiators to make sure they agree on a new ambitious climate finance goal at #COP29.

Otherwise, the whole UN climate conference was going to look like a bust.
Maybe even - dare I say it - expose it as a completely fraudulent exercise?
It seems that promoted by the UN SG, parallel talks are now taking place during the G20 summit in Rio to save the climate in light of the failure of COP29 talks in Baku.https://t.co/Qeqh4i5rJ6 pic.twitter.com/Idoqd1dynX

Damned if the air didn't come out of that balloon. A statement condemning fossil fuels and parroting the "need to transition from them" was as absent from the G20 communique as POTATUS was from the big picture, and now all the cultists still trying to get a piece of paper 'negotiated' in Azerbaijan are royally pissed off.
The G20 leaders have drawn criticism from the key negotiators at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku as they failed to mention the need to transition away from fossil fuels in their draft communique on Tuesday, November 19.
The draft communique of G20 focuses on the climate goals of the Paris Agreement that sets the limit at 2 degrees Celsius and states the need to increase climate investment for developing countries along with a fruitful New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) outcome in Baku. However, it does not mention “transitioning away from fossil fuels”, which was discussed at COP28 in UAE.
According to an HT report, climate activist and global engagement director for the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, Harjeet Singh, said, “World leaders at the G20 Summit displayed a stark failure in leadership, neglecting to reaffirm their commitment to transitioning away from fossil fuels—a critical pivot for global climate action. Their rehashed rhetoric offers no solace for the fraught COP29 negotiations, where we continue to see a deadlock on climate finance.”
Call a waahmbulance.
Negotiators have sought to break a deadlock at UN climate talks after G20 leaders backed the need for "trillions" of dollars for poorer countries but left key sticking points unresolved.

#HissyFit alert.
The #G20 Leaders Declaration dropped early, and while it’s a mixed bag, there are promising signals for the negotiators still at #COP29 in Baku. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/4CnXptZB8H

That should do it.
God bless Trump voters. Just his election has already saved us from God knows what.
On the upside for the UN, Guterres got a trip to Rio.
He can say he tried.
And POTATUS got to play Tarzan while avoiding the cannibals and head hunters.
I'm sure that's how he'll tell it in a month or two.
