Defiant tone?
To: artichokegrower
Defient tone. Tried to reframe the issue, and then ran away like a scalded dog.
Just try to fathom if this - somehow - was Trump and he answered NO questions.

I wonder if Psaki - if she ever comes back - is going to get a hard question or two from anyone other than Doocy.

Of course he stands by his decision. He stands to make a fortune for his family and politically connected cronies.

One more time, Biden, you drooling senile dementia-patient:

so the Democrats will ignore this and move to more spending Bills ?
To: artichokegrower
But what is I threshing about the comments was “Afghanistan fell quicker than expected” so they all knew it would be a cluster yet still allowed it to happen. That’s really all we needed to know. The senile usurper will go down as the worst “President?” In the history of this country.

Reader's Comment from the UK
Daily Mail:
Mileson, steamy valley, United States, less than a minute ago I wonder if the Taliban knows they can just march right into our Southern border under Biden.

No mention of Joe fleeing without taking questions.
There is a special place in Hell for the pressitutes that helped do this to America, and the world.
