CSPAN ^ | August 16, 2020

[Political Junkie Too]

Taiwan must be shaking in their boots right now, listening to Biden blame the Afghanis for not defending themselves after we pulled out in the middle of the night and didn't tell anyone.

[glennaro]

Sounds like he’s “owning” his tragic mistake ... but only to a point.

[Gene Eric]

Wait for it...

[palmer]

It's a pure offense speech. He cannot afford to admit in any way that he screwed up.

[MagUSNRET]

Im beginning to think Jill writes this horsechit!

[NonValueAdded]

Rabbit season

[rarestia]

He’s gone to pulling heartstrings. He’s not addressing the situation on the ground or the political optics.

[Rebelbase]

Afghanistan: The Graveyard of Empires.

[OpusatFR]

There is no way to salvage this situation and they know it.

Worse is to come. The visuals supplied and broadcast by the Taliban will be brutal.

[al baby]

He drove a big rig in Kabul

[pnz1]

No mention of our troops in Kabul right now?? How they’ll get out??

[AU72]

Wonder what sound bite the MSM will use.

In the time it took to give this speech, innocents were made to kneel down to be shot and pushed in a hole by bearded savages with U.S. weapons.

[1Old Pro]

Somebody is slowing down the Teleprompter. He's speaking more slowly now. -PJ

I wonder if they insert "creepy whisper" in there.

[CedarDave]

Not addressing the current issue, just reviewing the past and the earlier decision to pull out.

[mykroar]

Appears this is not an open presser, so no questions. /shocking

[bray]

If you knew so much about Trashcanistan, why did you abandon them in the middle of the night. #Savethechildbrides

[Political Junkie Too]

At least he doesn't read the stage directions anymore.
