The White House hosted the Australian prime minister yesterday, and despite having clowns running the Biden administration, it was more a shitshow. Joe did his best to claim Australian heritage and Kamaltoe said it was possible to ban and confiscate guns like they did Down Under.
At a state dinner with Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, Joe was trying so hard to make Australia about himself, in a very Joe kind of way. He may have been trying to say that Australian soldiers are the best in the world, but who knows? In any case, this was taken from a White House transcript, so it probably doesn’t accurately represent his inane rambling, and yet, it’s still inane and rambling:
“You know, that commitment — that commitment to face tough challenges, that courage to fight for a better future, that is what has always brought America and Australia together. I saw this growing up with my grandfather, Ambrose Finnegan, who lost his son in the Pacific in World War Two. He would literally straighten his shoulders every time Australia — the country Australia was mentioned. He’d just straighten up, straighten his shoulders,” said Biden.
There seems to be a lot missing from this story that never happened, like why would his grandfather straighten his shoulders at the mention of Australia? Was his uncle involved with the Australian military in some way? Also, Joe’s uncle didn’t die in WWII, as Joe famously lied that he got Obama to award him a Purple Heart in the 2000s, just a few years after he had died.
Somehow it got weirder:
“I saw it when my own son — Major Beau Biden in the National Guard, spent a year in Iraq — told me how he could always count on Aussies to have his back. That’s a fact. That’s what he had said; he meant it,” Biden said.
Beau Biden was an Army lawyer who never saw combat, so what are the chances he was praising the shit out of Australian soldiers for having his back? The correct answer is zero percent. Perhaps the Aussies kept Beau supplied with Number Twos when he ran out of pencils to push.
At least Joe didn’t claim he grew up in the Australian community or the Beau died in Australia, which for him is kind of a win.
Against their better judgement, the White House handlers then let Kamala Harris say a few words:

“As we gather details, we must continue to speak truth about the moment we are in,” Harris said. “In our country today, the leading cause of death of American children is gun violence,” said Harris.
Except that’s not true. To make it seem like guns are the number one killer of children in the U.S., anti-gun nuts include young adults over the age of 18, which is as bullshit as it sounds.
“And let us be clear, it does not have to be this way — as our friends in Australia have demonstrated,” Harris added.
Australia banned and confiscated every semi-automatic firearm in the country and then put severe limitations on gun ownership. In Australia, a person has to prove a need for a gun and personal protection isn’t an acceptable reason. That’s what Kamala Harris says can be done in America, and she’s wrong about that too.
Australians do not have a Constitutional right to gun ownership like Americans have with the 2nd Amendment. Kamaltoe is a lawyer, so she should know that, and even if she doesn’t, the fact that no democrat has ever been able to do it, should tip her off that it’s not possible to do in America.
