I don’t know about that but definition, creole, romance, impression, classifies, modern, firmly, discounts, and infusion all have french origins.

by heavily implying he’d be a one term “caretaker” president

He never said that. Unnamed people that had no authority to say it did, but he and his campaign explicitly said he had no intention of only running one term.

By ‘renegotiate brexit’ they do not mean in any way that the UK would rejoin the EU. Starmer said the the UK would not rejoin the EU in his lifetime.

I am aware of that, considering that the article I linked is a direct response to that claim. If you notice the article you link does not quote Biden, but an anonymous source, and when reporters asked Biden he said: “I don’t have any plans on one term.”

It is obviously intentionally done to mimic the ritual sacrifice of the two goats on Yom Kippur, the day of atonement. Two goats were presented to the high priest, one was chosen by casting lots to be sacrificed on the altar and the other was cast into the wilderness, purifying the people of Israel of their sins. In the story, Jesus plays the role of both goats.
