The embarrassment that is Joe Biden
American Thinker.com ^ | August 17, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

Although the White House had intended to keep Biden under wraps for as long as possible, the demand that he say something – anything – about the unfolding debacle in Afghanistan forced him to leave Camp David for a 20-minute statement, after which he refused to take any questions. The important part of what he said boils down to one sentence: We had to leave and everything that went wrong was Trump’s or the Afghans' fault. Biden is a craven coward, a feckless fool, a dismal dummy, and a man who will soon have more blood on his hands than a thousand Lady Macbeths.

Biden began by explaining that, after 20 years in Afghanistan, it was time to leave. Few people would argue with that. Whether they supported the war in the beginning or not, it had become clear to everyone that we had no clear mission there other than making money for the military-industrial complex about which Eisenhower warned us. It was not in America’s interests to remain.

So, we can skip that part of the speech. It was a straw man because Biden was defending a point with which no one disagrees. You’re neither a brave nor principled man when you claim, “I stand with everyone else!”

What people wanted to hear was what Biden had to say about the abrupt American pullout from Afghanistan, one seemingly made without any forethought about the needs of the American civilians there or the Afghan troops who, although they fought bravely, needed to feel Americans were at their back. Instead, we just left. And that’s where Biden showed what a disgusting little weasel he is.

The first person at whom Biden pointed his finger was Trump saying, effectively, he set me up!

I hate to break it to folks, but...

DEEP STATE DOESN’T GIVE A DAMN.

Jeez louise, people, it’s why they picked him to install.

Maybe a good thing will happen, that Joe will awaken from his stupor and recognize the danger to America that surrounds him. Towards the end of his presidency, Jimmah Cartah was starting to put the soviets in their place.

I inherited a deal that President Trump negotiated with the Taliban. Under his agreement, U.S. forces would be out of Afghanistan by May 1, 2021

Joe tells this story to let people believe he was locked into a bad deal. He's the victim here.

But what day is it today? May 1? May 2? No. This is all happening in August.

Joe inherited a deal, and he threw the deal out the window. He said, "We're not doing May 1." He picked a day of his own choosing. He decided that he could pull out in August instead. That was his choice.

Now, perhaps things would have been worse in May. There's no way to tell. But that doesn't matter. Joe is the president. Joe chose August and rejected Trump's plan for May.

Now it goes horribly wrong and Joe says "It's Trump's fault". But, we're not following Trump's plan. This is Joe's deal. He's calling the shots but not taking responsibility.

Yes, the Deep State did indeed pick Joe Stolen to be their figurehead. But he is fast becoming an embarrassment to them, and his “resignation” may be imminent.

He has risen far beyond his level of incompetence, and even that low bar set for him is sinking ever further down. The only thing saving him now is that his Vice President is even more incompetent.

Do the Spiro Agnew dance and get HER to resign first, then appoint a semi-competent replacement before taking out Biden.

I stick with my prediction that Biden will be squeezed out under the 25th amendment. People will suddenly discover he has dementia. Harris will be elevated and be the first female president. Her time will be short. He will be assassinated by a “crazy right-wing Christian Trump supporter who doesn’t think a woman should be president”. The assassin will be killed by police, and the nation will move on. Ancient Nancy Pelosi will be president, she will pick a vice president who will quickly be approved, and Nancy will step down because she’s too old. I still think it’s possible that Hillary will be president.

The deep state/media isn't going to be able pin something on her in order to impeach her without incurring the wrath of their BLM auntie fah street soldiers.

Will be fun to watch, tho'.

All he has to do is blame Trump. He was VP for 8 years of the mess.

Jumping Jehosophat.

Do you really think the people who overthrew our republic are capable of being embarrassed by BiteMe?!

If only it were so.

No country will ever trust the United States again - and that was the plan. China doesn’t want any inconvenient alliances being formed at this time.

The only thing Sleepy Joe recognizes is his pudding cup, and occasionally Dr. Jill.

The people who voted for ChiComjoe need to be held accountable. These voters need to be mocked and ridiculed at every opportunity. These voters need to be reminded that, along with ChiComjoe, they are traitors to the United States of America.

“then appoint a semi-competent replacement before taking out Biden.”

Harris will stay, China has who they want.

Biden is China's way of showing us how vulnerable and unfit our system of government is to them.

What has to happen now is that the people have to rise up and show China and the Deep State they won't put up with this crap.

I agree 100 percent with you but hope it isn’t to late.

And I am just as likely to win the Powerball lottery by picking up an abandoned ticket in the gutter. While simultaneously sprouting wings and soaring like an eagle.

Joe Biden - is Joe Biden. People got exactly what they voted for this time.

These ‘news’ stories write themselves, based on the fact that nothing different and nothing better could have been reasonably expected of this ‘administration’!! Why are people surprised??
