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.

It’s amazing how most of the lapdog media just allows itself to be used as part of this ridiculous ongoing presidential fraud.
They have no honor at all. They’re just accessories.
One more question, I have a meeting for real this time.
-PJ
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.
Uhm, no, my understanding is Pres. Trump had a plan to have the troops out by end of the year 2021, not May 1st. The reason no one was attacked or killed was because they knew Pres. Trump would act like a President and not milquetoast and a wussy.
And, this was not an accident, unforeseen, or unplanned. It was all done on purpose.
The “Tally-bon” are already shooting Afghani’s in the head, en masse, so it’s not that far away.
At this point, what difference does it make?
CREEPY as HELL! WHAT A STUPID WEAKLING,,,the world is licking their lips!
GET REAL. HE WANTED SYMPATHY FOR THE SORROW HE WAS GOING THROUGH!!! PUKE...he could care less about those DEATHS.
WHAT?????
….and he’s already forgotten they happened....
WOW ! You added SO NUCH.
BINGO. Some of it is real....some FAKED!
The Taliban will hang this in their new comfy offices with the title "Mission Accomplished"
I see that. He was livid the mic was to be pulled from doocey after one question but found himself challenged and looking for audio feed. That’s where the “Trump negotiated with the tolly ban, that’s why no Americans were killed” response came from.
Like no Americans dying was a mistake!
Complete loser.
Is that a Trapper Keeper?
He probably took that out some little school girl’s back pack
Inshallah.
“That’s where the “Trump negotiated with the tolly ban, that’s why no Americans were killed” response came from.

So I never made the connection but Peter Doocey is Steve Doocey of Fox and friends son. Somebody on fox mentioned that this morning, I never put it together.
On fox and friends this morning Steve Doocey said bidens reaction was because when biden went into his blame Trump routine Peter Doocey said “but President Trump isn’t president anymore”. That’s when Biden grabbed on to his little notebook and almost blew his stack. Steve Doocey said it really didn’t get picked up on the mics because of crosstalk between Biden and Doocey.
That old man was a split second from losing his shit right there in front of the world just because someone had the audacity to question him.
That's exactly what happened. Joe is well-known for having a nasty temper, but he knew he couldn't give in to it at that time. So he sank into himself to contain his anger.
Also, while there is no question he is not as vigorous as he was even a few years ago, I also don't believe he is as far gone mentally as some assume. He is just what he has always been...a man of mediocre intellect and abilities, zero leadership qualities, and the sense of privilege that came from his decades in our equivalent of the House of Lords, the U.S. Senate.
Biden is a fine example of why the 17th Amendment should be repealed !
The Delaware State legislature couldn’t do worse and even if they did not for 36+ years !
