    From the quote in the article he seemed surprised it was an issue…

    The statement marks an apparent reversal from what Biden said Friday. While at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, the president was asked, “Do you regret using the word ‘illegal’ to describe immigrants last night, sir?”

    “Well, I probably — I don’t re — technically not supposed to be here,” he responded.

    Probably because he’s been hanging out with republicans again.

    The Democrats told Biden that he needed to show more of the fire that was on display in a closed-door meeting with governors when Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte handed him a letter demanding more action on the southern border. Biden flashed a smile, according to two of the governors standing there.

    "State of the Union,” Biden said, teasingly.

    Dude is 81 fucking years old, and all it takes is five minutes of face time with a Republican till he thinks he’s back in “the good old days” with Strom Thurmond and Mitch McConnell

    He planned this stupid shit and legitimately thought it was a good move.

    He’s completely out of touch with Dem voters

      It’s hilarious to me that while he was Obama’s VP, and even up to a few months ago I was saying Biden is as far right as you can get in a democrat, and that he’s filthy with the blood of the drug war. And everyone would downvote me and defend Biden, now here we are.
