Politico: Biden Administration is 'Gaslighting' on Afghanistan
Newsbusters ^ | August 26, 2021 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 08/26/2021 6:34:00 AM PDT by PJ-Comix

One big barometer of how far Joe Biden's credibility has fallen in the wake of his Afghanistan disaster is that even Politico is now calling his credibility into question. An example of this is a Tuesday article by Lara Seligman, Alex Thompson, and Alexander Ward which shreds the administration's public stance versus the reality on the ground in "‘The definition of gaslighting’: As chaos unfolds at Kabul airport, Biden team projects calm."

Biden’s not capable of gaslighting; he barely has the capability of passing gas ... the “normal way” anyway ... only when he speaks. Perhaps that’s why the press corp is forced to mask and keep many yards away when Biden speaks ... it’s for their own “safety” (how I’ve come to detest that word!)

Politico -- master of the obvious!

To say, Biden Administration and democrats 'Gaslight' every issue, would be more accurate.

A bunch of Taliban fighters on the White House grounds would take care of the “calm” problem.

There is no way any of the palace guard media goes rogue. They defend and protect Dems at all costs, unless... those behind the Dems have decided it’s time for Joe to go.

The level of incompetence in this is so high I can only believe it was done by design, perhaps as a way to get Biden out. Otherwise why wouldn’t Biden be firing all those who advised him on this? None of this makes any sense.

Yes, “safety” and “an abundance of caution.”

Irritating, I agree.

This video is really good. New York Nadia talks about our nation being gas lit. I think you’ll like it.

Correct, but they will need to get rid of Harris after that as she will be a political disaster in an honest election, if we have an honest election.

Don't forget "Better safe than sorry" -- a particularly grating inane expression. (I need to come up with a list.)

Cheers!

“Correct, but they will need to get rid of Harris after that as she will be a political disaster in an honest election, if we have an honest election.”

Harris is a real problem for those running the Dems. She is almost as stupid as Biden, but she oozes hubris. At times, that will make her difficult to control. At some point, those running things will be forced to spell out Harris’ role to her. If she doesn’t comply, she’ll be gone.

When you hear the phrase “Biden is...” just substitute “The Deep State is...” and it will be correct.

Unless the topic is “eating ice cream”.

The trick will be to see what happens regarding a Harris VP, if/when she replaces Biden. Because that person will likely be carefully chosen with an eye toward becoming the 2024 Dem nominee, since they would have deep fears that Harris would lose.

Knowing how Democraps are, my bet would be on Stacey “Tank” Abrahms. She’s the right hue, the right “gender”, and the think she speaks like the female Obama.

The alternative is who? AOC turns 35 just 3 weeks before the 2024 election but she would not be eligible when nominations are made, not that that would stop Dems from nominating her anyway (any more than NBC did).

Anyone who thinks the dems would not run Abrahms (who stole two Senate seats) or AOC (who is running the Democrap party) isn’t paying attention.
