Biden's appalling speech on Afghanistan merits a 25th Amendment discussion
Washington Examiner ^ | August 16, 2021 05:06 PM | iana Lowe

The question baffling the world isn't why we left Afghanistan, but rather why we did so in the most incompetent and disastrous way possible. After 20 years of occupation, Americans were certainly amenable enough to leave, but whose idea was it to remove the military and leave our own equipment to the Taliban? To say nothing of U.S. citizens stranded?

Biden knows exactly what he is doing and what the consequences are.

He and the rest of his admin need to impeached, removed from office and positions of power, tried for treason and punished if convicted.

I suspect the Taliban are going to be one of the best equipped forces in the world. It certainly doesn’t appear that the Afghans did anything to scuttle the massive load of equipment we put in there.

I almost put me asleep. It reminds me of the speech given by The Fuhrer in Star Treks, "Patterns of Force."

“Apologies to Tiana Lowe for misspelling her name.”

She says it’s OK.

You want to know why we left in such a disastrous fashion, abandoning our desperate allies in droves? Here's why:

If you're in Taiwan today, you're re-assessing your situation big time. China owns Biden.

Biden will return to Camp David to vacation while Kabul burns... We don't permit minimum wage workers, much less presidents, to bail on their jobs before 4 p.m. on a Monday. If the commander in chief cannot or will not do his job, the Cabinet should consider invoking the final section of the 25th Amendment and compelling Biden's removal from office, either by resignation or by force.

In the military this was termed Dereliction of Duty. And yes, the cabinet can remove Joe, but if Joe doesn't go along it will take 2/3 votes in both houses of Congress to make him.

I was watching SlowJoe on the Wash Post YT channel basically to see what the commies thought about it. They hammered him pretty hard.

All equipment should have either been flown out, driven out, or set with incendiary devices to melt through the engine blocks, blow up any ammo, guns, or explosives, etc.

Hell, I bet Biden ordered all classified intelligence left open and translated into Pashto or whatever.

I guess that you did not hear a certain stupid Democrat that said the January protest was worse than our Civil War.

I’m beginning to think that this was planned. What better way to humiliate the US.

Biden doesn't even know where the White House bathroom is located. Half the time, he doesn't even remember that he's in the White House.

The real question is: Who is in charge of the executive branch? Who is making all the decisions at the moment? Is it one person? A cabal? Is one person running foreign policy, whereas another person was ceded control over the economy?

We Americans don't even know who our president is right now.

If it were Biden’s intention to horrify this nation and bring shame upon us in the world’s eyes, would he have acted any differetly than he has?
