He looked like this was the first time he was reading these lines and was having a little trouble focusing on the teleprompter.

I watched his speech, and thought to myself "what would he do if the teleprompter suddenly went out on him about a minute into this thing?"

Maybe not worse, but certainly an event that will have a “before” and ‘after.” And the “after” is not looking good.

Issue is that they cannot maintain the more sophisticated stuff.

Present a blank face, just like his dead teleprompter.

Yeah, there's still a lot of downside potential in this crisis.

“Silver lining is the worse he gets the worse they look in the eyes of the people. Nobody approves of his performamce. Some libs have waken up.”

NOT A CHANCE!!! Blacks still vote for democrats after generations of destruction from democrat policies.

Estimates earlier today are that there are $1 trillion of rare earth metals in Afghanistan, the richest deposits in the entire world. Our military funds on REMs as do all of our consumer goods and the darling of leftists everywhere, windmills and solar cells.

All handed over to China.

This has gargantuan geopolitical, economic national security implications. The enormity of this cannot be underestimated.

I’m still not convinced he really has any idea what’s going on. I think of one of the decisions are being made for him and he is just a puppet to read the Teleprompter or agree.

I believe reports that DT won over 20%. That’s a good start.

The Chinese will have a deep interest in what was captured. Much of it will wind up in China. The Chinese have the ability to maintain it, too.

What will they learn that they haven’t already stolen from here?

I would argue that it is the biggest foreign mission failure that the USA ever suffered.

I agree.

No, Carter won his party’s nomination in 1980. Ted Kennedy challenged him but lost. Can’t think of an incumbent in recent memory who ran in the primaries but lost. LBJ chose not to run for another term.

Anyone else wondering if Deep State left some of the Americans there on purpose...

If it is true that he went against the recommendation of military advisor, state dept advisors and intelligence agencies and went on his own personal beliefs 3 1\2 years is too long for him to dictate our national policy.
