Yea maybe they could have the climate summit in their fucking outdoor air conditioning soccer field…. There should be plenty of room there, in the whole fucking outdoor air conditioned stadium.

One thing I can say I’m half certain I read that Biden wasn’t going.

He may have had early intel about the summit pres being involved in the drama,

I burn on Biden a lot.

But I’m glad he didn’t go to this one.
