It was customary to send an official delegation, but "Team Biden" has no competent diplomats

What a scene that would have been!

;)

Who is the blonde next to señora Biden?

That deer in headlights stare makes her look like the M3GAN robot from the movie with the same name.

Count your blessings, my fellow Americans, that ol Joe didn't go and get filmed falling asleep during the ceremony. They must not have been serving chocolate chip ice cream at the reception.

That's a damn good question! I went back to the NY Post story I took that image from, and it says "her granddaughter Finnegan Biden," whoever the f*ck she is.

(Sis might be just avoiding showers with the senile creep, just sayin'.)

But think about that: for a century and more, the United States was sending official delegations of expert, experienced diplomats to such functions. And they weren't there just to be seen during the given event itself. They were there to establish/reestablish relationships, discuss important issues, and to plan for what might be coming next. THAT'S the kind of thing "Team Biden" simply can't do, because they have a wife and a granddaughter and NOT diplomats!

It's just astonishing, if you consider how competence has disappeared from our federal government.

😄 Finnegan's WOKE

Welp, that explains why she was there.

And another thing: if it's a very crowded event, and the senile creep sitting beside you is wearing a diaper, would you be more concerned about him falling asleep or blowing out his diaper?

;)

I think that's Finnegan Biden, one of the Biden's granddaughters.

It's sort of sad, isn't it? Never mind Joe, Kamala Harris alone would have been a P.R. disaster. But it is interesting that currently the United States has got exactly ZIP in the diplomatic corps that would satisfy -- much less impress -- the British. Still . . . vote Democrat, eh?

Yep, sad.

They couldn't even pull off a huge set of give-aways, also known as the new Iran nuclear deal!

All they KNOW . . . is virtue-signaling slid along on a slimy layer of Cultural Marxism.

Okay, without going to Google, can anyone name anyone in the US delegation for the last coronation?

It's so obscure, I had to go look for it.

For Elizabeth's (that's who was being crowned in England last time) we sent Fleur Cowles, a New York Publisher, and a nearing retirement Army General.

Seriously, the Coronation for Elizabeth was in July and the general retired in August.

But who was Fleur Cowles? I had no idea. I'd never heard of her. Turns out, she's one of those 'famous for being famous' kind of people. She was married 4 times and divorced 3 times.

Keep in mind, this was in the 30's and 40s, so very unusual.

We sent the First Lady this time.

Last time we sent a famous-for-being-famous person.

Not what I'd call a flub. The only people who'd be upset by this are monarchists.

Fleur Cowles and a “a nearing retirement Army General”? Yes, but actually no. Dismissing Fleur Cowles as a divorcee isn’t fair; she was a bigger person than that. Eisenhower undoubtedly believed her position at Look magazine would allow her to convey an important perspective on the coronation. Why would Eisenhower send an all-male delegation to a queen’s coronation anyway? Would excluding Fleur Cowles be seen as fair by 2023 standards? Puh-lease. And five-star General Omar Bradley was a personage of importance too, by any measure.

Kinda funny you didn’t mention the other two members of the delegation: its leader, George Marshall, and the influential – even at that point in 1953 – Governor of California Earl Warren, who was soon to be named Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. But back to George Marshall, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army during the war, then both Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense under President Truman. Even in his private life of 1953, Marshall was a giant of US foreign policy. He was so highly respected at the coronation that, according to General Bradley, “as Marshall walked up the aisle to his seat, everyone stood up. Marshall looked around for the arriving dignitary, only to realize it was he.” Marshall was the only commoner at the Queen’s banquet following the coronation, and was seated in a place of honor among only 30 guests.

Thanks for playing, but I think my point stands.
