Nowhere to hide, Joe: President adopts fetal position as he crumbles under questioning and tries to blame Trump for Afghanistan catastrophe after 13 troops were killed along with 90 Afghans in ISIS bomb attacks
Daily Mail ^ | Aug. 26, 2021 | Geoff Earle

Joe Biden crumbled when confronted by reporters with the deaths of 13 troops and 90 people who were slaughtered at Kabul airport on Thursday by two ISIS bomb attacks in the latest tragic episode of his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The 78-year-old President was lost for words at times and and frustrated in others, gripping his notebook and widening his eyes while reporters from a pre-approved list asked him questions for about 30 minutes.

The press conference was at 5pm, nearly eight hours after the two blasts. Biden said nothing all day before the briefing.

When pressed, accepted responsibility for the violence but still stood by his decision to withdraw troops hastily while thousands of Americans remained in the country.

He then tried to blame it all on former President Donald Trump, who made the initial decision to withdraw.

Trump has since claimed the attacks on Thursday would not have happened on his watch, because ISIS and the Taliban were too afraid of the force he would use in retaliation. He has also slammed Biden's team for giving the Taliban a list of Afghan allies they said should be evacuated, calling it a 'kill list' for a group of terrorists who may end up killing them in revenge for their cooperation with the US in the war.

Biden has vowed to hunt down the killers responsible but in the meantime, he still has to get nearly 1,000 Americans out of the country before August 31 - a deadline the Taliban is insisting on.

He didn't know about the kill list when asked at the press conference, but said it 'could exist'.

As has become the norm for Biden, he was given a list of pre-approved journalists to call upon at the press briefing.

‘The reason why, whether my friend will acknowledge it or has reported it, the reason why there were no attacks on Americans as you said from the day I came into office was because a commitment was made by President Trump: I will be out by May 1.

‘In the meantime, you agree not to attack any Americans That was the deal. That’s why no American was attacked.’


B.S. Prove it, sleepy Joe.

I saw it live. I contend he was gathering himself in an effort to keep from blowing up as the fox reporter was actually asking him some pointed questions....which is rare and he’s not used to the pressure.

Not that its any revelation but he is frail, thin skinned and weak mentally and physically.

That was my impression too. He was furious.

HUH? Didn’t the mail get the memo that THIS is the defining photo of “Way To Go Joe!” and his time as the DIC. Disaster in Chief. His compassion and anguish. Or simply a sniff sample of children’s shampoo on the notepad/binder. Way past the Bring In The Clowns tune. Butt, butt, butt....leadership...........

Daily Mail: “Biden – at 78 – Suffered Two Brain Aneurysms and a Heart Condition which Causes Dizziness and Confusion”
GP ^ | August 27, 2021 | Richard Abelson
Posted on 8/27/2021, 7:50:16 AM by White Lives Matter

Leading British newspaper Daily Mail reported that “Joe Biden was filmed crumbling after he called on Fox News journalist Peter Doocy at a press conference, only to be accused of failing to answer Doocy’s question.” The Daily Mail raised concerns about Joe Biden’s mental and medical condition:

Biden, 78, looked lost for words after being asked if he bore responsibility for an ISIS-K suicide attack at Kabul Airport on Thursday that killed 13 US service personnel, before bowing his head and clutching a file tightly around his hands.

Puddin’ Head Joe insists Israel PM wear face mask during their meeting, reads his statement—head down—from his lap, and covers his mask with his hand while the PM speaks. Biden is a vacant shell. Invoke the 25th.

The reason there were no attacks is because Trump dealt with the Taliban from a position of strength not from a position of weakness and capitulation...which is basically the definition of joe biden.

Only thing that gets these troglodytes attention is knowing you WILL kick they’re collective asses if they step out of line.

It won't take long before Uncle Hothead will blow as the pressure increases.
