I ask over and over for the name of one competent person in the Biden administration. Mayorkas? Cardona? Yellen? Granholm? Buttigieg?
And then there's Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who might be competing with Hillary Clinton for the title of worst secretary of state ever. On Sunday, Blinken told "Meet the Press" that it was "reasonable to assess" that Israel had violated humanitarian law in Gaza. “Israel has the ability, the means, and the actions to self-correct,” Blinken added while defending the U.S. withholding military aid to Israel.
By any objective standard Blinken is the worst Secretary of State in recent memory. His fecklessness and incompetence have set the world on fire. He should resign in disgrace. https://t.co/RJmQEccEHV

But you know the only reason President Biden signed that aid package for Israel is because it was tied to a $61 billion aid package to Ukraine. Blinken has traveled again to Ukraine to talk about sending more aid and to sit in with a bar band.

Remember Joe Scarborough's recent attempt to recreate himself as a rock star? This is almost as embarrassing.

He knows that Neil Young is a commie and his song is an indictment of American foreign policy, right?
This is not a serious administration https://t.co/Ke3yoh6XrC

Ukraine is such a war zone that Ben Stiller and Sean Penn have stopped by to say hi to President Volodomyr Zelenskyy, and Vogue magazine did a photo shoot with Zelenskyy and his wife. Randi Weingarten flew over to rally the teacher's unions. And Blinken stopped by a bar to jam.
I sat for about 3-4 minutes trying to think of a comment to make, but what do you even say to this?

Like.. this is just embarrassing.
The guy plays music, ok fine. But in the context of where we are right now.. how tone deaf..
Rage against the machine. Blinken is the machine and it’s broke.

Rough war zone eh?

Is this what he is paid for? We paid to send him here for a Jam? I thought this country was under siege, looks like fun times at the pub to me! Wish I could afford to go on vaca and/or afford to go out for some drinks!!

Did they really sing that?
Have they thought about the meaning of the song
— S. Hasan Caliskan (@shcaliskan) May 14, 2024
I feel like he might not understand the lyrics...

I wonder if Blinken was ever aware of the message of that song.

The most amazing part of this entire experience is that somehow, in a worn torn country, with so much turmoil, someone managed to get a left handed guitar in the hands of that guy.

Seriously doubt there's actually a war going on in Ukraine.

You can’t have elections anymore, and turns out all that aid money for fortifications was laundered through shell companies and you got nothing. But here’s a shitty cover song. Sorry about that generation of kids I got killed.

First I'll get you fucked in a proxy war and then I'll come and play guitar for you.
