President Joe Biden has come under fire for apparently glancing at his watch during a solemn ceremony at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware for the 13 US troops killed in the terror attack near the Kabul airport.

Biden and first lady Jill Biden were at the airport for a “dignified transfer” movement, a somber military ritual of receiving the bodies of fallen service members who died in foreign combat.

During the event, he placed his right hand to his chest as the flag-draped coffins were carried off the Air Force C-17 Globemaster plane.

But at one point, the commander-in-chief appeared to cast a furtive glance at his watch before putting his arms behind his back, prompting criticisms from veterans, Republican politicians and conservative commentators.

“Looks like he was being inconvenienced by having to show some respect for these American Heros [sic],” Samuel Williams, a disabled US Army veteran, said on Twitter.

“It’s true. Joe Biden checked his watch during the dignified transfer of the servicemembers killing in Afghanistan at the airport,” columnist Nicholas Fondacaro wrote.

yeah he cares

Clearly his mind was not on the dead soldiers he was there to respect.

It is not clear to me if Biden has a double, but since his acceptance speech after the ComDem nomination I saw the first indicators that there was.

These are Heartless Evil, Evil, Evil plotters against our nation and the “free world”.

Who cares?

[Tommy Revolts]

Nap time yet?

[Carl Vehse]

Time for Traitorjoe’s diaper change? Pudding??

[maddog55]

I don’t think he glanced at his watch for time.. he’s to far gone for that.

My guess is when he put his hands down he felt something, glanced down and said “Wow.. What’s this shinny thing do?”

Worried about missing ice cream time and his nappy .

[logi_cal869]

Nothing ‘apparent’ about it.

Not even his glaring attempt to conceal it, demonstrating intent.

[logi_cal869]

Good one!

[maggief]

This family cares.

[knarf]

[peggybac]

I really don’t think he knows how to tell time.

[william clark]

It was shiny

[TBP]

"How much longer do I have to pretend I care about this s--t?"

[liberalh8ter]

The truth is, he checked his watch because he thought it was pudding time. Unless he's pumped up with meds to speak to the press, he's clueless. His despicable wife probably told him they were going out for ice cream.
