Vladimir Putin and Joseph Biden: Telephone conversation, December 30, 2021 — The Saker
The Russian and American (very different) official statements.
Is he purposely calling him '"Joseph" to make some statement? His name is "Joe." That would be like calling Tom Brady "Thomas Brady." You know what I mean -- Who the hell is Thomas Brady?
Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was born on November 20, 1942, at St. Mary's Hospital in Scranton, Pennsylvania, to Catherine Eugenia "Jean" Biden (née Finnegan) and Joseph Robinette Biden Sr.
Every male born and registered under the Catholic church bears a middle name of Joseph. This was the case in Quebec, where the birth registry was maintained by your local parish.
Peppermint Patties’s version a bit terse….

ReplyDeleteYour comment prompted me to look up his name.

I hadn't known his middle name.
Barack Obama had the "mother of all middle names": Hussein ;)

ReplyDeleteBtw, a robinette is a faucet.
ReplyDeleteAn appropriate middle name for the Biden clan could be Putain or Bordel.
