Just picture how differently President Trump would have conducted himself in a press conference like this.

The press conference would’ve lasted an hour or two!

Of course, he would never be in this shit show situation.

Agreed the media could have asked those questions when Biden was calling on reporters instead of only asking scripted questions approved by Biden’s staff.

Yep, Dementia Joe is starting to nod off. 2pm is usually Tapioca Time, served by Nurse Jill right before his daily nappy. So sad this Afghanistan thing interrupted Joke Biden’ daily routine. /sarcasm

So as soon as a reporter goes off script and asks a real question, not one on the ‘approved’ list, and Senile Corrupt Joe let’s it slip this is all scripted and the reporter asked the wrong question...and Senile Corrupt Joe’s Handlers IMMEDIATELY call a lid, and usher him off stage. Basically telling the press, “If you don’t play ball with us, we take the ball and go home.” God how far the entire world has fallen, and it’s only going to get infinitely worse from hear on out.

I think we are looking at a long haul hostage situation—we will know soon enough...

We are working closely with our allies. So where was the question, “why did it take you 36 hours to return Boris Johnson’s calls, where were you?”

. Is this the White House operator? I would like to talk to President Biden.

TaliBidAn has cancelled his Deleware trip later today, to stay in DC.

I will be watching the WH livecam at 10:59 PM, as I think he might try to sneak out.

I thought I heard him say the Afghan national army was 300 people. He cannot even read numbers anymore

No matter what WE do, I believe the Taliban know exactly where our folks are. That means one bomb…one shot…and they get rounded up.

And then they drop some artillery onto the airport landing strip.

Then we have 6,000 troops stuck. The only way out would be to fight.

We could win. But, it will be a mess.

Maybe Hunter Biden can chip in some of his graft to pay the way for millions of Afghans to move here. Could the corrupt FBI give us an estimate on how much Hunter took in?

I doubt it - but that's a different story.

A tax on all willing citizens is fine too. Lets see how many citizens are willing to split the cost of the education, housing and infrastructure to support a few million afghans.

I'm not on that list but it could be voted on by name... and those willing to give up large chunks of their paychecks will be admired by people who make policy based on best pity party story.

In the UAE the 'elites' have fancy trips into the desert that are day long parties - one of the 'events for entertainment' is people in need who beg with their pity party stories. The best beggar getting his wishes. There's something sick in people who get off on other's misery. And hearing about it - wallowing in their own superiority. It's similar to what our 'elites' do... but they don't have the decency to pay the beggars - they make us pay for them. And that's what 'policy by pity party' is about.
