Profiles in Courage
Daily Telegraph ^ | 28 Aug 2021 | Tim Blair

Many US Presidents come to be defined by their reactions in times of national crisis.

During those times, Americans seek Presidential strength and resolve. Let’s take a look at various Presidents at moments of great adversity:

1986 President Ronald Reagan speaks in the wake of the Challenger space shuttle explosion:

1941 President Franklin D. Roosevelt declares war on Japan subsequent to the bombing of Pearl Harbor:

2001 President George W. Bush with workers at Ground Zero three days after the September 11 attacks:

...

2021 President Joe Biden realising he doesn’t belong on this list following the slaughter of 13 Marines in Kabul:

His first instinct was to invoke the (tragic) death from cancer of his son. Totally not germane to the event. Tone deaf and clueless.

I’m honestly sorry Joe’s son died of brain cancer, but this was hardly the time for a moment of silence. Good Lord, that was 6 years ago.

Congratulations Dr. Jill. You have allowed someone you purported to love, pulled into a job that shouldn’t have a dementia patient as the face (I know he isn’t in charge). Your husband, in 9 months on the job has become the worst President ever and will shortly become a bar that a limbo star couldn’t get under. But not to worry. Hunter and gang are still adding to your future Biden Foundation.

Joe Biden has hit the trifecta. Corrupt. Idiotic. Incompetent.

We all knew it years ago. We all said it would prove true quickly. Seven months in, Joe Biden has become both the worst president in history, and the worst man to attain the office.

Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton are happy. They both move up a notch.

Tragedy? No it is not, it’s an f’ing disgrace. This retromingent buffoon is a doddering demented walking cadaver.
He is not capable of being anything but a corrupt bastard.

Pedo Joe has caused a major shift in the balance of powers. Russia and china are empowered more than ever.

Really,WTF was he doing?

I read the liberal narrative and it is disgusting but I think corn pop was going to pop.

One was corrupt and sexually creepy and the other an idiot. Biden has a nice blend of the 2.

Yeah, that’s Biden’s advantage. He’s creepy, corrupt AND stupid. Jimmy and Billy don’t stand a chance...

Nobody, not Xiden or anyone else from his admin could attend the return of the bodies of the Marines at Dover AFB.

IIRC, Bush and Trump or high admin officials greeted every returning casket.

Did Bammy ever bother?

I personally think that the Biden pic has been misrepresented as he was crumbling under presssure. I don’t think so. He was taking a question from Peter Doocey from Fox News.

I believe he was biting his tongue to keep from chastising Doocey. He was very confrontational with him. I think he was saying, “why do they send these idiots to ask me stupid questions? I’m smarter than anyone here! They just don’t understand my genius!”

Watch the whole video. He was trying to refrain from yelling at the “ignorant question from Fox” He was trying to curb his temper. He didn’t lose his thought or felt responsible for the gravity of the question. He is just an arrogant POS who thinks everyone else doesn’t get it.
