Republican leaders are slamming President Biden for taking a long weekend out of the public eye as major cities fall to the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Biden on Thursday sent 3,000 US troops to Kabul to evacuate US Embassy workers as the Taliban overran Herat and Kandahar, Afghanistan’s second- and third-largest cities — but he hasn’t commented publicly on the crisis since Tuesday.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Friday that Biden “must immediately focus all efforts on making sure there is a plan to safely extract all American service members and civilians still remaining in Afghanistan.”

Nothing Joe says matters, if you want to know something about his policies, ask Susan Rice.

This guy is totally inept. No plan to anything whatsoever.
No plan to withdraw from Afghanistan, no plan for COVID., no plan for immigration, no plan for economy.
Whatever he touches, it falls apart.
His only skill is “Orange man bad” mantra and wasting money.
Maybe Taliban will help with Global warming.

He was probably watching a special feed from the Taliban commanders allowing him to watch in real time as they butcher the freedom fighters.

No doubt he was wearing his double-strength, all-day, super absorbent maxi Depends for the event so that he would miss a single scream of pain.

“Whatever he touches, it falls apart.”

Anyone who knew him before the election had come to the same conclusion.

The president took no questions as he departed the White House on Thursday afternoon for a trip to his home in Wilmington, Del., and he’s expected to remain out of view for days.

I'll bet. Slow Joe, putting the "Dem" in dementia. Government by committee means that the buck doesn't stop anywhere.

Why is sleepy joe silent about this? for the same reason that hillary and barack were silent about the murder of the US ambassador in Benghazi by a bunch of fanatical terrorists. “Because they didn’t want to anger their true friends, the muzzies.”

He’s got sort or reverse Midas touch, everything he touches turn into s**t.
Even his former defense secretary has told that he has been on the wrong side most of the time.

Biden July 8. “The Taliban will not take over Afghanistan. Intelligence has not said that. “

Intelligence failure? Or Biden ignored?

Biden has always been a loud, braying far-left crook. He was Ted Kennedy with a thinning hairline, before. Now he’s just a despotic, old ghoul.

Fox today addressed the video of Biden stating his Intel said the Taliban couldn’t take over Afghanistan…Former State Dept spokesperson Morgan Ortagus & another Former CIA guest said no way US Intel would underestimate Taliban this badly…Another Biden Lie ..We all know Susan Rice orchestrated the Benghazi response ,now she’s calling the shots for Joe..Biden looked really shook yesterday walking off...I’m thinking he’s running on empty..severe stress & old age are a bad mix..just as Obama planned..but Nobody knew the incompetent Kamala disaster..

I blame the U.S. military. They know Biden is an incompetent puppet who did not actually WIN election.

The U.S. military should immediately take charge of this country, reinstate the lawfully elected President, Donald Trump, and arrest every one of the communists who conspired and did overthrow the lawful government, including Biden, Harris and all the other communist usurpers.
