‘We Need Your Guidance’ — Joe Biden Meets with New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on Gun Control and Online Extremism
Breitbart ^ | 05/31/2022 | Charlie Speiring

President Joe Biden warmly welcomed New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to the White House on Tuesday, expressing his interest in her views on gun control and online censorship in her country.

“We need your guidance,” Biden said as he welcomed Ardern to the Oval Office. “And it’s a pleasure to see you in person.”

He praised the prime minister warmly for making progress on issues like climate change, combatting “violent extremism online,” and gun control.

“You understand that your leadership has taken a critical role on this global change, it really has,” he said.

Ardern has become a darling of the left after she pushed forward strict gun control laws in New Zealand, banning most semi-automatic rifles after the horrific Christchurch shooting in 2019. She also has repeatedly called for more tech censorship of online extremism, blaming the internet for radicalizing the shooter.

Biden appeared impressed.

“I want to work with you on that effort and I want to talk with you about what those conversations are like if you’re willing,” he said.

Biden expressed sadness that mass shootings continued happening in the United States, renewing calls for change.

“There’s an expression by an Irish poet that says too long a suffering makes a stone of the heart,” he said, claiming he had been to more “mass shooting aftermaths” than any president in American history.

Biden said he met with about 250 of the family members of the victims of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, for about four hours on Sunday.(snip)

Ardern said she was willing to work with Biden on issues of violence, noting that there was a need for global progress on the issue.

“If there is anything we can share that would be of any value, we are here to share it,” she said.

One of the most evil people in the world, and he wants her “guidance”?

She said, “Get rid of that pesky Constitution.”

Biden replied, “Come on, man, I already got the FBI and the Wash DC judiciary to ignore it, but I’m still working on it for the rest of the country!”

You’re going to see a perfect demonstration of online extremism in about 6 hours.

Disneys Star Wars Twitter feed is also a perfect demonstration of online extremism. But then this “extremism” only goes one way and NEVER against communism.

There’s nothing the New Zealand politician can do to repeal constitutional USA civil rights. Biden is either senile or grandstanding to the ignorant.
Or both.

My sources in DC tell me that Biden’s first words to her were: “You are one hot chick, lady. I’d like to sniff your hair. By the way, where is the prime minister?”

She’s a centralized control dictator wannabe. There is nothing she offers for advice.

Joe, we are not New Zealand and you’re not really the President. You were an idiot long before the dementia kicked in. Stop embarrassing yourself and this great country.

Well, we know how few people in New Zealand actually bothered to turn in their firearms. But I guess we won’t tell Brandon that.

I am not one to see a “conspiracy” behind every event and news post here on FR and elsewhere. But in the last 48 hours we have the New Zealand PM showing up to talk to Biden (no functioning brain) about gun confiscation, and the Canadian PM confiscating pretty much all guns. Scary. I know I am preaching to the converted but the greatest mass murders of the last 100 hundred years plus have been carried out by the Government and a crazed/fanatical ruler/person in power. See Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Hitler. Rwanda is the only exception I can think of now, pretty much an ethnic thing.

What?!

I have my unalienable rights and those spelled out in the Bill of Rights.
All of the things spelled out there still do not encompass all of my rights.
I have Constitutional protection of those rights.
Civil rights is a Johnny Come Lately creation of Congress, not the Constitution.
(Civil Rights Act (1964))

She was forced to sit there and shut up while a doddering old man rattled on about nothing. Probably her idea Hell.
