Unfit To Serve, Undeserving To Lead
Townhall.com ^ | August 21, 2021 | Mathew Betley

Posted on 08/21/2021 3:31:24 AM PDT by Kaslin

In all my lifetime, I have never witnessed such an unparalleled, shameful, disgraceful, embarrassing, and reckless foreign policy disaster as the execution of President Biden’s evacuation from Afghanistan. There are not enough superlatives to express how damaging and awful this situation is. In President Biden’s press conference today, he mumbled through his opening minutes, told several blatant lies, appeared distracted and mentally exhausted, and was unconvincing when reassuring America that every American would be brought home, no matter what the cost. As a former Marine, the last week’s complete and utter lack of leadership and horrendous decision-making have reinforced two things: 1) President Biden is unfit both physically and mentally to serve as president; and 2) President Biden is undeserving to lead as commander-in-chief.

Unless you live in the State of Denial, don’t watch TV, and don’t have the internet (in which case, you’re probably not reading this column), there is something obviously wrong with President Biden. Whether it’s his age, an undisclosed medical condition, or exhaustion (although I doubt this, as he only works a few hours a day), I have no idea. I’m not a doctor, and I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. But I do know that if I were a reporter, I’d be pressing the White House as to whether there is something wrong with the president that they aren’t telling us because it is not normal to fumble answers regularly, forget things said weeks ago, appear this agitated and discombobulated, and freeze mid-sentence. Apparently, his interview with ABC was so bad that they won’t run the entire thing. One word-salad answer he gave made Donald Trump seem like Winston Churchill when it came to oration. What makes it worse and adds fuel to the conspiracy theory fires is that the White House seems to be hiding him from the public at all costs. And when he does emerge from his safe space, he doesn’t answer questions and shuffles away faster than a zombie in The Walking Dead. And if he does answer questions, they’re scripted and written on cue cards for him to try and utilize, which doesn’t seem to help. All of this is behavior unbecoming of a president in the middle of the greatest foreign policy disaster in decades, maybe even modern times.

But what’s even worse than his physical and mental condition is his apparent abrogation of the single most important responsibility any president has – protecting American citizens, both at home and abroad. The fact that it took this long for President Biden to state he would bring home every American is stunning in itself, but it’s even harder to believe him as he uttered several blatant lies in the same press conference (e.g., no presence of al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, no instances of Americans not making it through Taliban checkpoints to the airport).

There is one fundamental principle every nation on this earth knows – America leaves no one behind. It’s been that way for decades. It’s emblazoned on my soul as a former Marine officer. US servicemen and women died in Iraq because of it, often while trying to help another wounded soldier, sailor, airmen, or Marine. And yet in the last week, President Biden has taken that principle and thrown it in the trash, emboldening our enemies and angering our allies (another lie he told today). Thousands of Americans are hiding in fear as I write this, justifiably unsure if they’re going to make it to the airport safely. The feckless State Department, the agency responsible for tracking US citizens abroad, has failed them, and they have every right to be concerned.

The situation in Kabul and larger Afghanistan is horrific, but it doesn’t have to be this way. We are the most powerful nation on the planet. Our military has the will to fight and do its job when called upon, but our leaders have to have the will to act decisively. And that is something they have all failed to do this week, from the president to the secretary of defense to the secretary of state, and Americans are in danger because of it. We could take Bagram back and also go into the city of Kabul – the way our allies have – to rescue Americans if they so ordered it, but whether they have the will remains the question.

Leading any group of servicemembers is a privilege. I had that privilege once. I made mistakes, and I learned from them, often harshly. But when you are the president of the United States and you refuse to learn from those mistakes and you continue to make decisions that put American lives at risk, you should no longer be the commander-in-chief. It’s a privilege that comes with being elected to office, but it’s not a right that can be taken for granted. Our American citizens are still in peril, but there is still time to save them. Do your job, Mr. President, or step aside.

Semper Fidelis.

It wasn’t all that long ago that we used to mock the Soviet Union for holding staged propaganda events like this.

HE WANTS TO GO BACK TO HIS HOME FOR A NAPPY-POO LIKE A FREAKING TODDLER.

THIS is what you voted in DEMOCRATS - a lying, plagiarist, idiot, babysitter screwing, pedophile with dementia whose former boss even warned EVERYONE about his ability to f*ck up an anvil.

THE BLOOD OF AMERICANS IS ON Y O U R HANDS.

Great stuff Kaslin,eveything you said was right on and to the point.We need Obiden out,problem is we don't need the Kamal in to take his place.That would be like a slap in the face.

Here is how I see it.

President Trump has been laboriously going through state by state showing the massive election fraud so every citizen can see what happened. They also have seen what happened when the nuts and fruits were in charge,its been disaster.

Whether it's the disaster on the border,O'Bidens decisions overseas,the struggling economy,the reckless spending, getting rid of police in city after city, the way they handle what amounts to Influenza A or B and on and on and on.

Surely the public by now has seen what the President wanted them to see! The military that will now make the decision on whether or not the country is in jeopardy should have no trouble making that decision and we know our real president is always up for the job. So:

It's time for him to come back! IMHO, the things that he wanted the public to witness in the election fraud are being revealed and most important for the military who will now make the decision regarding whether or not the country is in jeopardy with these clowns in office,few can dispute that.

So let's bring back the real President:

Donald J. Trump.

We don't the military does.

When national security is at stake(accd. to Juan O' Savin) and the country is in jeopardy which it is, the military has the option of securing the country by whatever means. In this case it would be getting rid of O'biden and replacing him with Trump.

My guess is that Trump was going to wait it out with a state by state case of each state slowly but surely rescinding their electoral votes as electoral fraud was proven in each state.That would have resulted in a Trump victory and he would have been put in like that.

It's a very slow process. With O'biden endangering the entire world with his actions in Afghanistan the military now has good evidence of his incompetence endangering the country along with open borders and everything else O'biden has done. Add them all up and the military has the option of getting rid of him,IMHO.

https://rubyraymedia.com/index.php/community-view-all-articles/tribunals-and-emergency-broadcasts-are-coming

Juan tells us: military tribunals, together with the possible shutting down of the death cult’s Big Tech and Big Media, followed by emergency broadcasts from the good guys to get the truth out to the people.

Gene Decode (the submariner turned decoder and intelligencer) tells us his read is that it all comes out late September to early October.

Juan doesn’t want to talk about dates. He is an important “influencer” that just met with the president in Vegas on Saturday and attended CPAC to be there for the president’s very revealing speech. He says that when 80% or more of the voting public is in agreement, that’s when full disclosure can start to take place.

Juan has often repeated that a slow reveal of the evidence that keeps gradually picking up pace is the only way to avoid widespread destruction, mayhem and death, but it’s gotta get out and it’s gotta get out soon! The country and the world right now are headed to hell in a handbasket, in a big hurry!

What’s interesting to us is that Juan himself has told us that the military has the data to prove that 8 out of 10 voters (80%) voted for Trump! Does that mean we’re ready for the tribunals? Wouldn’t it mean we were ready November 3rd?

We’d say so, yes!

We also accept the possibility, in this 5D chess game being played, that Juan and the President’s team may be baiting the enemy too with talk about military tribunals, to force them to expose themselves to the public even more than they are now.

Many of us have seen and heard reports and evidence that tribunals have been taking place for a long time now, since DJT’s election in 2016. Perhaps what we’ll see are the video and/or audio recordings of those tribunals - and perhaps some of the executions. There may be more taking place in the days to come.

The public will only know all this for certain when “the fat lady sings.” In the meantime, take a deep breath, stay active, stay positive and stay frosty!

He’s unfit, but he agreed to betray this country with his final remaining forces.
His mind is fading, but not enough to hide from him the fact that he has chosen to use the power of the presidency to finish what obammy started: the final destruction of this country.

In exchange for being placed in the highest office of the country, and all the fame that brings him and his family (Jill, Hunter) he has pledged to carry out the final set of instructions given to him by the chicoms/taliban/blm/antifa/iran.

He is competent enough to follow those orders. If he doesn’t, there is a fat dossier the chicoms are holding.....

To put it simply, the democrat, taliban party is the enemy, which include all who vote for this party.

Thank you for that! I listen to Juan, Gene and many others and pray that soon our President Trump will be back in charge after the military takes control.

Don’t all members of the military take an oath which states, in part, defending the country against all enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC?
