President Biden remained holed up at Camp David on Monday after spending the weekend largely out of sight while Afghanistan crumbled into chaos, with a senior adviser only able to say he would address the nation 'soon.'

With the United Nations Security Council and European ministers due to hold crisis meetings to address the rapid return of the Taliban, Biden and his officials kept a low profile amid mounting questions about their bungling departure from Afghanistan.

Email enquiries sent to White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki over the weekend received an automated out-of-office response saying she would return on Aug. 22.

/sarcasm on/Give the poor senile man a break. He needs to rest and take his meds before addressing the nation on the worst foreign policy debacle since the fall of Saigon. Stalin needed almost two weeks before addressing the Soviet people after the start of Operation Barbarossa. /sarcasm off/

Biden is busy trying to bribe each individual Taliban tribal chief—these things take time—especially when The Godfather is mumbling incoherently!

I like the smell of blood in the water in the morning. It smells of victory.

Hidin' Biden says:

And New Year’s Day is coming soon -2024

Somebody needs to create a “where’s Joe” meme in a “where’s Waldo” cartoon.

Biden is AWOL. He should be tried for desertion.

[tennmountainman]

General Milley should be fired.

I’m guessing the meds can’t be used too often or they lose their effectiveness. Biden’s handlers have to be careful how often they allow access to the demented, corrupt, pervert.

“ General Milley should be fired.”

After being busted back to Private.

” It smells of victory.”

Meh. There is no victory if the public remains ignorant. On top of that, a significant portion of the public would be ok with this, as long as they can blame Trump, (which the media is doing).

Relax, there are plenty of those from the 2020 election season

The Afghan Army was 180,000 strong, and collapsed in a matter of days when the U.S. withdrew 2,500 advisors?

Yeah, the blame does lie on the Afghan troops for the capituation.

Know your enemy; know your Kipling. One one side you have America with its restrictive ROE and its Marquis of Queensbury mindset. On the other side, you have the devil incarnate. No ROE - well, they have rules that call for slow, painful death - and a 12th century “Marquis” who has a slightly different mindset. To expect the Afghani army to stand in the face of that is ludicrous.

Where’s Joe? Biden’s National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan .

Under their beds screaming make it go away somebody.

I am really pessimistic about the future of our Nation in the upcoming months, since a coup of extreme narcissists occurred in the 2020 election.

Narcissists always blame others for their failures and are vindictive to those who oppose them.

Afghan soldiers fault? I thought Joe said it was Trump’s fault? I’m confused, not.
