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.
- snip -
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.

Fuck you, Chris!
I can’t remember who said it, but I remember someone commenting that Biden has been on the wrong side of every political issue since he first gained office.
As I recall he was also responsible for stopping aid to South Vietnam early in his career.
> Biden trying to figure out a way to pin it on Harris. <
That would be most entertaining. And then maybe Harris might storm into the stage, swearing at Joe. I’d watch that even if it were on pay-per-view.
Sorry, couldn’t help it. But right now I’m so angry with anyone who was against the greatest President in our lifetime.
The families of any American military or civilians who die in this debacle are gonna make the Democrats wish they had stuck to their day jobs as ambulance chasing lawyers or gay hookers.
If he were a dog, he would have been euthanized by now.
Cillizza just had to add the first sentence preface.
Will CNN actually implode before Slow Joe ?
Stay tuned ( as Limpsey Graham likes to say ).
And in the on deck circle, Willie Brown’s mattress.
“You can’t pin this shit on me.” - K. Harris
5.56mm
Me too.
Afghanistan wouldn’t fall to the Taliban he said. It was a lie. He knew it would. Knowing that why didn’t he provide safe exit for the embassy.
Incompetence.
They used him to get rid of the guy who was stopping their damn agendas, Trump.
Now they’ve got this pos in their and they have to handle him like a mustang who is not broken in, well not anything as glorious as a mustang but I’ve just woken up and trying to think of good facsimiles while having my morning coffee is not something I’m concerned with.
The damn Democrats. Why don’t their people see through their agendas?
Maybe if they put Harris in place then she will be a better puppet for Pelosi. Maybe that’s the plan. Who knows.
God help us.
These people might realize that Biden was put into the White House by the powers that be as a best bad idea fake president Trump replacement
It was never going to work in favor of the US
It does favor certain people
That might become more obvious to the public
“After four years of Donald Trump’s incompetence in, well, everything,”
Wow.
Chris is bound, gagged, whipped and liking it.
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.
