While all these perilous world events were unfolding, Joe Biden was haplessly wandering around the G20 Summit in Rio de Janiero and somehow managed to be late for the group photo of all the world leaders who attended. The AP ran the story headlined, “Photo-shoot fail: Biden, Trudeau miss traditional photo with world leaders at G20.” For some reason, the other leaders didn’t wait even though they were told Joe was coming.
Look closely at the picture. The BRICS leaders were placed in the center of the front row. Germany and France were relegated to the second row. Note carefully the conspicuous empty spot beside German Chancellor Scholz— we will come back to that.
An anonymous “senior Biden administration official,” told AP that Biden missed the photo due to unspecified “logistical issues.” Logistical issues? You mean like the fact Biden stumbles around slower than a drunken tortoise? In this next clip, listen to C-SPAN reporters freaking when the other world leaders were asked to wait for Joe, but in unison they started walking away. On purpose.

What if the real reason Biden was “late” was because right before the picture, his handlers found out they put Biden on the second row, next to the German Chancellor, in that empty slot behind South Africa? Suppose Team Biden suddenly discovered at the last minute that the BRICS countries would be placed up front?
I suspect the disrespect to Biden was intended to be much more profound than merely taking a picture without him, on time.
Imagine how it could have gone down. Might there have been furious, last-minute wrangling going on, with Biden staying back behind the palm tree, as leverage, you can’t take the picture without him, and he won’t join until he can stand in front. And then the organizers shrugged, called Biden’s bluff, and were like, fine, if he won’t stand in the back then he’s out of the picture.
Any decent reporter on the scene should have asked serious questions about Biden’s astonishing omission. Useless corporate media meekly accepted an anonymous Biden aide’s word that it was just logistical issues. This is why we go to X for news now.
Biden is now both figuratively and literally out of the picture. He has been, for some time, at least since he was castrated by his own party. I prefer to believe that next year, President Trump and his gigantic personality will occupy in the middle of the G20 front row. And, if he is a little late, they’ll wait to take their picture. Plus, I bet they wouldn’t scurry off if they heard President Trump was coming. What do you think?
