[struggle]

It’s only going to get worse.

[hinckley buzzard]

Apparently he thinks his lies will be more believable if he shouts. And it took several minutes before he brought up his dead kid.

[Skywise]

Cmon man - that was last week! What difference at this point does it make?!

Joey’s forgotten about it already anyway

[butlerweave]

When Joe’s best buds the Tallybamd start skinning trapped Americans alive what will Joe say ?

[hanamizu]

Did he mention Beau?

[Colinsky]

At the end of his speech, President Biden turned his back on America and walked away.

[Nifster]

Traitor

[Col Frank Slade]

What a load of crap.

[livius]

And he’s going to get away with it. The press is already gushing about his “leadership” and the generals are coming out to support him.

Expect Biden to be known as the Hero of Afghanistan by next week.

[cgbg]

Afghan security forces…did not hold on as long as anyone expected.

What does that mean?

Who is "anyone"?

What does "hold on" mean?

Total word salad from a senile vegetable.

President Biden said he accepts responsibility for the decision to withdraw from Afghanistan, adding that he believes that staying longer wasn’t an option.

“Some say we should have started the mass evacuation sooner and couldn’t have this been done in a more orderly manner,” he said. “I respectfully disagree.”

Biden said that he believes that even if evacuations had begun in June or July, there still “would have been a rush to the airport”.

“It still would have been a very difficult and dangerous mission,” he said, adding that no evacuation from the end of the war could have been done without the same “complexities and challenges.”

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Butt of course.

[silverleaf]

Of course.
That is his sympathy card.

[cgbg]

He is a pathetic tool of the ruling elites.

It is “they” who are “getting away with it”.

[nuconvert]

I heard the angry Nixon: “I am not a crook!”

[Tammy60]

Of course he mentioned Beau. That’s part of every speech or press conference now.

[glennaro]

He did some dramatic “whispering”, too. And, of course, he blamed Trump for his abject failure.

[Eddie01]

In this case, I wish I was wrong about everything I knew I was right about.

Biden can turn the page to a new chapter where suffering just got infinitely worse for those left behind.

Turn it Joe. Wait! Wait! Wait! I’ll turn if for you.
