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?

I didn’t watch the garbage spewed by this horrible person.

Biden has KamelToe as his insurance policy. We’d just be trading one incompetent boob for another.

Most of the equipment that was given to the Afghan Army was not our latest and greatest. Basically anything truly cutting edge or significant military equipment (crypto etc) was removed and returned to us. Even the aircraft are mostly platforms that we were planning to retire and older versions.

I was thinking there must be a person or group in charge behind the scenes but at this point I’m thinking no one is i charge. The generals apparently knew this would be a disaster and did it anyway because a senile corrupt idiot traitor said so????

Obviously Joe is in charge and this is incredibly frightening!!!

There’s nothing like having real hardware in hand. Stolen IP, drawings and manuals only go so far.

Xi told Biden: Take the canoli, leave the hardware and munitions.

So he did.

The biggest thing preventing the invocation of the 25th Amendment is that the thought of President Kamala Harris terrifies the Democrats. They can get her out of the way if she’s just the VP in 2024. But an incumbent President is almost impossible to defeat in the primaries.

Blacks would flip out if she was incumbent and lost the primary.

Well, that’s a little bit encouraging.

Biden will be blaming Trump. Watch this video for the facts:

“Mike Pompeo calls out Biden's 'pathetic blame shifting' on Afghanistan.”

“I had to honor Trump’s agreement with the Taliban.”

- even though the Taliban broke that understanding in multiple ways.

Biden is not only a Stupid President, he’s a stoopid lawyer.

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.


Biden is mentally compromised for sure and certainly in early stage dementia

He knows what is going on.

He knows he is in decline and that his time is short.

He is and always has been a sociopath who gets off on screwing people over and watching the world burn.

He just wants to feel the power and take as many down as possible before he departs the scene

Biden has no clue of what he’s doing but his handlers do.

Perhaps but not likely.

Biden has always had a Loki type personality and he is intrinsically corrupt. He has memory issues and gets confused but he is still an arsonist who, all else being equal, loves to tear down the fabric of our society watch it burn

I think you have a valid point. On occasion, he can sort of answer a few questions, which indicates he still has some comprehension of what is going on but otherwise Soli relies on notecards and teleprompters. If you tried to get him off-topic, By asking questions on related to watch the speech was about, I suspect he would have a much harder time answering.

Couldn’t a few cruise missiles take care of this problem? We know where they’re parked.

The Taliban have the leverage. All they have to do is block the runways somehow. They don’t even need to attack. Place lots of junk there or mines. Then all our people are at their mercy.

Or bought from treacherous government employees. I believe the government is riddled with traitors, spies, America haters, and just plain crooks.
