‘We’re True Partners,’ Biden Says, After Meeting With Leaders of U.S. Neighbors
President Biden and the leaders of Canada and Mexico said they had strengthened a regional partnership after a three-way summit in Mexico City on Tuesday on issues that included economic cooperation, climate change and the movement of people and drugs across the southern U.S. border.
Mr. Biden met with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada and President Andrés Manuel López Obrador of Mexico, capping two days of bilateral meetings during the North American Leaders’ Summit.
“We’re true partners, the three of us,” President Biden said at a news conference after a roughly two-hour meeting at Mexico’s National Palace.
He added, “There can no longer be any question, none, in today’s interconnected world; we cannot wall ourselves off from shared problems.”
Mr. López Obrador, the host of the summit, also stressed the value of their cooperation.
“I want to thank you sincerely for maintaining with Mexico a relationship of cooperation, of friendship — sincere friendship,” he said as he addressed Mr. Biden.
Mr. Trudeau emphasized economic cooperation on the continent, saying the three are “all dedicated to driving economic growth that supports the middle class and those working hard to join it.”
The agenda for the meeting was wide ranging, but aides to Mr. Biden had said that the broad challenge of how to secure the border was his top priority at the summit.
Migration levels are “putting real strain on the communities in both Mexico and the United States,” Mr. Biden said after the summit meeting. “We’re working together to address this challenge in a way that upholds our nation’s laws and protects the human rights of migrants facing desperate circumstances.”
A record-breaking flow of migrants throughout the region has strained both the United States and Mexico. Even before the meeting, White House officials said that the three leaders had agreed to continue working together toward “safe, orderly and humane migration.”
Earlier Tuesday, Mr. Biden and Mr. Trudeau discussed the close relationship between their countries as they continue to deal with what Mr. Trudeau called “very real challenges” such as support for democracy around the world and climate change.
White House officials said that the three leaders had agreed to some new climate targets, including a pledge to “reduce methane emissions from the solid waste and wastewater sector by at least 15 percent by 2030 from 2020 levels.” They will also work to develop a plan to cut down on food waste and another for coordinating electric vehicle charging stations along their borders, White House officials said.
Other issues on Tuesday’s agenda included renewed efforts to combat the trafficking of drugs and weapons in North America. Biden administration officials have been frustrated over the last two years with what they say is a lack of Mexican cooperation in drug investigations.
Oh dear.... I'm sure McCarthy and the MAGA twats will be all over this like a cheap suit.

WASHINGTON — Aides to President Joe Biden have discovered at least one additional batch of classified documents in a location separate from the Washington office he used after leaving the Obama administration, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Since November, after the discovery of documents with classified markings in his former office, Biden aides have been searching for any additional classified materials that might be in other locations he used, said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to provide details about the ongoing inquiry.

According to CNN, these include papers from the US secret service on other countries such as Ukraine, meaning those idiots could have avoided a war. :smileylaughing:
Uuuups....I mean "Special Operation".
They will and the FBI should also investigate. How did they get there, who brought them there and who had access to them, etc?Quote:

The difference between the secret document situation of trump and the secret document situation of Biden is like comparing apples and oranges. Actually more like comparing apples and a steaming pile of shit.Quote:

"How did they get there " : in the normal process that secret document are delivered to the offices of the VP
"who brought them there": people authored to transport such documents
"who had access to them" : The VP and those employees of the office with the proper clearance .
As far as we know so far, someone in the office failed to retune them.The discrepancy was discovered by Biden employees
and the transgression was rectified.
They were not just "found" they were found by:
" They were discovered by the president’s personal lawyers, who were packing up the office space he used periodically from mid-2017, after he served as vice-president, until he launched his presidential campaign in 2020."
Classified Documents Found in Old Biden Office: What We Know
the thing that strikes me is that secret docs in the UK have to get signed out on a register, that register is monitored to see if they have been signed back in and if not then its chased up - it seems anyone in power in the US just walks out with what they like?Quote:

I agree. You would think if something is classified, they would want to keep track of it at all times.Quote:

Fox et al will claim that it's politically motivated - Trumpanzees won't read (and even if they do, they won't understand) the details.
Biden will be quietly pressuring the DoJ to make it go away.
Biden uses inflation report to hit GOP on economy
President Biden says Thursday’s positive inflation report, which showed prices cooling in December, supports his stewardship of the economy and should make House Republicans reconsider their agenda.
Biden spoke to reporters shortly after data from the consumer price index showed the annual inflation rate fell from 7.1 percent in November 2022 to 6.5 percent in December. The report indicated prices fell 0.1 percent overall last month after rising 0.1 percent in November.
While some costs, such as shelter, increased last month, the report overall was welcome news for Biden as he projected confidence that inflation is cooling and a recession can be avoided.
“Today’s inflation numbers are good news, good news about our economy,” he said. “We have more work to do, but we’re on the right track. We’re seeing bright spots across the country where great things are happening.”
The president argued that his economic plan and Democratic legislation that included tax credits for certain environmentally friendly purchases, caps on insulin costs for seniors on Medicare and investments in manufacturing is paying off.
“These were all pieces of that big law that we passed last year,” Biden said, referring to the Inflation Reduction Act. “Now they’re kicking in and Americans are starting to feel the benefits.”

Garland appoints special counsel for Biden classified documents probe
For those in "power" the process in the US is definately flawed or perhaps more accurately not enforced. I had access to a lot of classified material and for me and others not "powerful" the process was clear and followed. All classified materials were kept in a secure room or in the case of a ship a secure compartment. If one had the appropriate clearance they could access materials but doing so would be noted in a register, ie my name and document name. Docs could be moved to individual work space but when not in my hands must be locked in a safe. Taking a document home or anywhere outside a controlled area was not allowed and if discovered a stint in the brig would follow.Quote:

At no point had anyone claimed that Biden's office (Not Biden personally) had position of such documents, or that Biden's office did not cooperate in the location and return of such document.
Furthermore, none of these documents (as far as I know) were removed from the office to a private location as trump's documents were.
And when these document were found by Biden's stuff , Biden did not claim that they were his personal property and had every right not to return them.
Do you know what "Bullshit" Is? Bulshit is calling something "bulshit" without explaining how it is "Bulshit"
I'd say that Biden's garage is kinda private :)Quote:

I find it entertaining :)
If you believe that "Biden's Personal Lawyers discovered classified documents while clearing a locked closet and immediately cleared the office before contacting the National Archives", I have a fucking bridge to sell you.Quote:

This second batch - found yesterday or around the first week in November as well?
