President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden paid an evening visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center outside Washington Thursday, one week after the ISIS-K terror attack at Kabul’s international airport that killed 13 US service members and injured 20 more.

The president’s motorcade arrived at the Bethesda, Md. hospital just before 8 p.m. after making the short drive from the White House. The White House press office put out a one-line statement saying that the Bidens were visiting “wounded warriors.”

The Marine Corps Times reported Wednesday that 15 Marines who were injured in the blast outside the Abbey Gate at Hamid Karzai International Airport were being treated at Walter Reed. Maj. James Stenger, a spokesman for the Corps, told the outlet that one of the injured Marines was in critical condition, three were in serious condition, and the other 11 were in stable condition.

Maybe he was really going there for a checkup for himself.

On Sunday, Biden went to Dover Air Force Base in his home state of Delaware to take part in the dignified transfer ceremony for the 13 service members who died.

They left out the "dignified" part where he checked his watch.

Maybe he was driving and just got lost.

Probably no. As the president, to include Biden somehow, he is the commander of the US military forces and can order the visit if the docs say it is safe. But the media is not going to say they wouldn’t talk to him or suddenly needed to sleep from exhaustion when he arrived. After all, they are recovering.

They have no shame and are the most loathsome scum people. I will relish the days when these fossils in politics take the dirt nap.
