After four years of Donald Trump's incompetence in, well, everything, the Biden argument was that the country badly needed a steady hand on the tiller -- someone who had been there and done that. Someone who didn't need training to do the job. Someone who was exactly the opposite of the guy currently in office.

Seven months into his first term, however, Biden is faced with nothing short of a crisis of that competence, beset on a number of fronts with developments that it appears all of his experience and know-how didn't prevent.
The glaring example is, of course, the rapid takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban in the wake of Biden's decision to pull American troops out of the country.
In announcing the end of the American military commitment in Afghanistan just over a month ago, Biden had proclaimed that "there's going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy of the United States in Afghanistan." Except that over the weekend, images were beamed back to the United States of helicopters airlifting people from the parking lot of the US Embassy in Kabul. And on Monday morning came even more devastating images: Afghans clinging to an American plane as it took off from the country.
The overwhelming message? The situation was totally and completely out of control -- and neither Biden nor his top foreign policy advisers could stop it. While the crisis in Afghanistan is front and center in this reexamining of Biden's competence argument, it's far from the only data point in that conversation.

When you've lost CNN...
They misspelled incontinence in the title.
Joe Biden has been in a “Crisis of Competence” his entire political career. The only difference is that he is WORSE now than he was when he first entered political office.
It’s more like an attack on Trump again
Joe Biden has been in a “Crisis of Competence” his entire political career. The only difference is that he is WORSE now than he was when he first entered political office.
He’s exposed more now that he is lead dog.....
He wasn’t known as the “dumbest man in the US Senate” for nothing..
They misspelled cognizant in the title...................
I stopped at the first sentence.
Pedo Joe is supposed to address the Nation on this FUBAR.
I’m actually going to watch him try and weasel out of his incompetence and see how may times he can blame Trump.
CNN wants Coma La..... or the one who’s name cannot be said.
They could have written this headline before the election, but were blinded by hate.
Biden trying to figure out a way to pin it on Harris.
When your first paragraph is nothing but bald-faced lies, do not expect me to read further.
They just can't let go of the hate for a President that unleashed the greatest economy in generations and turned the USA into an independent, energy producing powerhouse.
“ After four years of Donald Trump’s incompetence”
Chris C. admits the country is worse off with Biden and disproves his opening statement.
What a stooge.
Chairman Zho isn’t facing anything at all. He is merrily destroying our Republic with a reckless abandon and NOBODY is standing up in DEFENSE of our Constitution, the Rule of Law or our Sovereignty.
Thanks in no small part to the RINOs and Never Trump asshats.
The Biden crime Family needs cover to continue sucking up tax dollars in the infrastructure slush fund.......and looting the US Treasury.
"Lets see........Hunter gets $10 billion. Cocaine is expensive.My brothers get $5 billion each. Jill gets $5 billion for shopping and I get $50 billion for myself to spread around as bribes to get reelected."
