Stubborn Joe Biden just wouldn’t listen
New York Post ^ | 8/21/2021 | Michael Goodwin

Posted on 08/22/2021 1:28:16 AM PDT by LibWhacker

The big news from the White House Saturday morning was that President Biden had canceled his planned trip to Delaware for the weekend.

My first reaction was a hopeful one — maybe he’s finally seen the light and realizes the Kabul situation is deteriorating at a terrifying pace.

Maybe he’s staying in the White House to help craft a plan to speed up the sluggish evacuation and push back against the Taliban chokehold on roads leading to the airport.

No, no and no.

In fact, there was no indication Biden was actually doing anything to change course in Afghanistan, or even considering modest changes to his failed policies. He just wasn’t leaving the building, probably because pollsters told him his approval ratings already are taking a hit and leaving town again during the crisis would look bad.

In that case, he might as well go to Delaware or even Disney World. If he’s not going to be an actual president now, when would he be?

Legend has it that Nero fiddled while Rome burned, but Biden isn’t that cruel.

He is, however, maddeningly arrogant and stubborn and, by putting his presidency on automatic pilot, created a calamity that jeopardizes the lives of thousands of Americans and many deserving Afghans while also humiliating the United States in the eyes of the world.

Because Afghanistan is a war we have chosen to lose, our allies everywhere have to be wondering if America can be trusted when the chips are down.

Even Democrats are expressing concerns about the president as they learn more about what the White House knew and when it knew it.

Afghanistan is Biden's gift/pay back to China for his presidency. That's why he's dragging his feet.

What will Biden give Fox News for doing their part?

Americans be damned

Trump’s plan bore little resemblance to Biden’s chaotic cut and run.

I think one thing that is holding up the dhimmicrap ‘move’ on SloJo is the composition of the Senate. If Kamala-toe is elevated to the adult table, there is a period of time during which there is no VP to break ties in the Senate, and a tie vote leaves the subject measure un-passed.
There is a lot that can go wrong for the communists with SloJo out of the picture...

He has no clue what is going on.

I suspect the rest of the US organizations there are mired in inter-organizational (State, CIA, DOD and who knows what else) and interservice and probably inter-unit rivalries, priority conflicts and operational cross-purposes. Also most likely massive multi-level micro-management from 10,000 miles away.

“The British , French and Germans are using special forces to pull citizens out. Joe is not. Why? My conclusion is he is a traitor.”

No issue with your conclusion, but my conclusion is that the Taliban is PERMITTING the evacuation of other nationals, but not ours, just to stick it a bit deeper in Biden’s eye. And, without a doubt, they’ve given us the rules there and ANY violation of those rules starts the decapitation of Americans.

These guys play hardball and have learned the politics of the West.

Kamala is so deeply unpopular with everbody but her own mother, and even that’s a toss up.

Especially since her mother has been dead for 12 years.

Maybe she doesn’t want to be asked what’s wrong with Joe…

I think Harris went to Asia to be as far away as possible, lest someone might “Pin this shit” on her. Also, if there is a behind the scenes coup being planned by way of invoking the 25th amendment, it’s best that she not be too visible at the scene.

The rate in which the MSM switched gears from “disastrous withdrawal” to “sappy stories about the loyal Afghani's we've left behind” coupled with Ted Cruz's tweet about the blank Visa forms that the State Department sent over there that have gotten into the hands of the Taliban leads me to believe we're actually importing terrorists. After all, it was Obama the released their leader from Guantanamo Bay. As Lara Logan has said, this is happening because they want it to happen. Obama's fundamental transformation is continuing.

Joe isn’t calling the shots. He barely knows what day it is.

Doctor Jill is sure laying low — haven’t seen her on TV in public recently.


She hurt herself while on a beach in Hawaii returning from the Olympics. Last picture of her showed her wearing a medical boot. Perhaps it is more serious than we’ve been told. Joe might have to resign to take care of her. He is famous for his laser-like focus on problems...

If the 25th is enacted, and Heels gets the nod, her eligibility should be front and center as a vehicle to get rid of her too.
pelosi saying she is eligible doesn’t make it so...the Constitution stipulates eligibility, and Heels doesn’t make the cut. If she is not called out and removed, we can only blame ourselves for the calamity that follows.
