CSPAN ^ | August 16, 2020

President Biden delivers remarks at the White House on the situation in Afghanistan after the Taliban seized control and the Afghan government collapsed.

[EliRoom8]

I disagree. He failed to take any responsibility while, seemingly, the whole world (including MSNBC) hold him responsible for being hasty and reckless.

[bray]

Now back to vacation just like the slaughtered Afghanis.

The memes for this are going to be incredible.

Hardly mentioned the current chaos at the airport and what he was going to do to solve it.

[Mathews]

No, he won’t be able to get everyone out and people will suffer, but he told everyone today that everything that happens is on his shoulders.

The media and leftists won’t touch him on any of it. They’ll just say, “He owned up to it. He got us out, messy as it was. Time to move on.”

Hope I’m wrong, but I think that is where it’s going to go.

[Army Air Corps]

Who wrote that tripe? Jill?

That' DOCTOR Jill, peasant!

[Mashood]

The Afghan government must have been watching the Texas Democrat Representatives that Biden raved about.

[1Old Pro]

I disagree. He failed to take any responsibility while, seemingly, the whole world (including MSNBC) hold him responsible for being hasty and reckless.

We agree, he botched a needed withdrawal and will cause more suffering and death because of it.

[Magnatron]

Nothing smacks more of the corruption of our media than how they sit there in front of a giant teleprompter, watching this imbecile stumble through the scrolling text, and not be embarrassed that they stand behind this demented fool as political activists...

[SpaceBar]

Hehe, you forgot U.S. Senator 1973-2009 D-Delaware.

The resume of disaster.

And taking no questions and the media not demanding unscripted questions is the icing on the cake.

[plain talk]

[luvie]

I watched. 🤮 What we just listened to is the most blatant lie ever told and all the time, blaming it on everyone but the one who is responsible. Himself.
He withdrew troops, yes; while abandoning embassy personnel and civilians. THEN brought troops back under worsened conditions? DISGUSTING!! 😡

[StAnDeliver]

• "The Taliban are yesterday's threats" then lists "El Shaboob, AQ, Isis" -- all of whom are represented in your new Taliban Erimate of Afghanistan!

• "Mublebule countries ... we have counter-terrorism over-the-horizon capability keep an eye on direct threats" -- the same over-the-horizon capability that did not reveal the speed that Kabul fell, the reason you're making this speech, you senile old fool

• "This did unfold more quickly than we anticipated. Afghan leaders gave up and fled the country ... Afghan forces refused to fight ... leaving now was the right decision ... we spent over a trillion dollars, trained and equipped Afghan force 300,000, incredibly well-equipped, larger than some NATO allies, paid their salaries, maintained their Air Force. The Taliban does not have an Air Force" -- the Taliban have an Air Force now, bitch!

[pnz1]

And now he’s headed back to finish his vacay?

[StAnDeliver]

"Diplomatic presence concentrated at the airport." -- Good Morning, Vietnam!

[StAnDeliver]

This is deep bs now, he's lost. Blame-shifting whataboutism bullshit...

• "Some of the Afghans did not want to leave earlier ... the Afghan governments discouraged US from doing so ..."
