n what appears to be a continuation of his campaign bunker strategy, and following his widely panned interview with ABC News on the stunning fall of Afghanistan, President Biden's schedule Thursday contained no planned public remarks or press briefings.
The president took all public remarks, press briefings and press conferences off his schedule as he and his administration deal with the blowback from their botched troop withdrawal that saw Kabul fall into the hands of the Taliban.
Biden’s now-clear press schedule also comes after his much-criticized ABC News interview on Wednesday night, when the president claimed there was no better way to get out of Afghanistan. Other than the ABC News interview, Biden has not taken any questions from the press this week.
Biden's decision to bunker down amid the Afghanistan crisis evokes his strategy during the 2020 presidential race, when he spent a large amount of time away from the campaign trail.
When asked if the president believes that his campaign strategy of ducking out of the public eye is translating well to his official duties and if his strategy sent a message of American strength to our allies and adversaries, a White House official pointed to Biden's ABC News interview and press briefings by the Pentagon and State Department.
The president's decision to nix his media obligations on Thursday also coincides with Vice President Harris’ trip to Vietnam amid the Afghanistan crisis — which some critics have compared to the 1975 fall of Saigon.
Harris' office has defended the vice president's trip, saying America has many "interests" worldwide.

Thursday was a lid day? Well, it’s almost the weekend.......
Come on, man! It takes time to ease into the weekend!
It was a lid on the lid day - a double lid.
I can’t read the podium sign, LOL
Even the late Robin Williams knew about Joe all those years ago.

As long as the MSM gives Biden a pass for calling “lids” on a day or several days, he’ll keep going into hiding.
Gosh, it sure would be nice if one of those interests were getting Americans trapped in a war zone out in one piece.
Actually stunning. They simply give the middle finger and run away from responsibility and duty.
Dementia Joe, hiding under his bed in the fetal position, right after screwing everything up.
What’s the Potato going to do? Prop up behind a podium and pinch another loaf in his pampers?
The draw down was a complete disaster, with Blinken calling Russia and China for help and both basically said “You’re on your own”. Biden begged Putin to place security forces and aircraft in the Stan nations and Putin soundly said “No”, not happening. The folks that are outside the airport area really have been told “you’re on your own and too bad”. Biden screws Americans and the allies, Russia and China said screw you Joe. Now people will die. Joe just killed any ability to run again, and he killed Kamala’s chances also.
Here is Kamala on AF2 (pic live)
I can’t wait for the midterms.
Biden hides for a week and then says people dying happened days ago, just not important now.
