It was the most contemptible speech by a U.S. president in modern times — a speech that shames America and leaves its global reputation in the dirt.
And given that, until last January, the White House was occupied for four years by a certain Donald J. Trump, there couldn’t be a more damning criticism of President Joe Biden.
Much of his address to the U.S. on Monday was Orwellian. In his classic novel 1984, set in a totalitarian dystopia, George Orwell created a Ministry of Peace which waged war, a Ministry of Truth which peddled lies, a Ministry of Love which tortured dissidents and a Ministry of Plenty which oversaw starvation.
Biden matched all of that and more with his own defiant doublethink, involving distortions, the rewriting of history, and nonsense and untruths that even Trump would struggle to rival.
His abject surrender to the Taliban was dressed up as political reality and common sense. His scuttle from Kabul, still ongoing, was depicted as geopolitical wisdom and a refocusing of U.S. priorities.
Any mistakes or problems were the fault of others, from Trump to the Afghan army.
But make no mistake: the person overwhelmingly responsible for the appalling scenes currently unfolding on our TV screens is the man sitting in the Oval Office.

wow :(
It’s what Josef Stolen has made his career on. While the msm is upset, they aren’t really upset enough to push for change.
The purpose was just that: To Shame America. joe has betrayed the USA and turned Afghanistan over to terrorists. He has abandoned American citizens. He is bringing “refugees” to the USA.
biden is much worse than obammy.
How will Winston Smith deal with it?
Somehow, some way they have to get a dig in at Trump.
They have to bring Trump into it
“...is the most humiliating foreign policy disaster for America since the end of World War II.“
Wha?
No. Ever in history. Since before Homer was writing the odyssey
And how will biden recover they want to know. They need a narrative
There is none.
The media will try.
He is done
WHY aren’t all the media screaming in the face of this Admin,
“HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET AMERICAN CITIZENS OUT OF KABUL?” and, “WHY DID THIS DISASTER HAPPEN IF YOU HAD PLANNED FOR ALL SITUATIONS?”
Because they are complicit.
Except for the gratuitous Trump digs it was spot on......................
As if Trump is the gold standard for contemptable dishonesty. They just cant resist their own contemptable dishonesty.

Biden IS the Cabal of O
“Cackhanded” means awkward. British slang. Merriamwebster.com. Learned a new word today.
Thnks
Joe’s speech was exactly what I predicted….squinting at the teleprompter blaming Trump, taking no responsibility, taking no questions from the media and then wandering off likely for that bowl of ice cream Jill had promised him if he didn’t screw up. This is who we have as commander in chief with his shaky finger on the nuclear button? Even for those who hated Trump and presumably voted for this clown must be having a lot of second thoughts.
Kamala Harris tries to flee Joe Biden’s sinking ship:
She’s off to Vietnam of all places, where she won’t escape the Afghanistan fiasco

Is Kamala Harris jumping ship?
Sure looks like it, now that Congress is talking up the 25th Amendment to remove doddering Joe Biden from office for incapacitation amid the biggest foreign policy catastrophe since the Saigon embassy rooftop evacuation of 1975.
Suddenly, Kamala doesn’t seem to want to be anywhere near old Joe.
First, there have been reports of screamings behind the scenes, according to commentator Jack Posobiec, who seems to have someone on the inside at the White House giving him the lowdown.
Chaos in the WH, in-fighting, fingers pointed everywhere, knives out. Like Game of Thrones meets Veep but written by non-binary TikTok influencers — Jack Posobiec 🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) August 18, 2021
I’m told K asked Biden a question during today’s video conference and he ignored her, even after she repeated it twice — Jack Posobiec 🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) August 17, 2021
Shade War going hot - Kamala refused a request to do a presser today. Said she was focused on Haiti not Afghanistan. Now staffers for the rival teams have been openly fighting all day, per WH official — Jack Posobiec 🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) August 16, 2021

He wanted K to stand with him and she said no — Jack Posobiec 🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) August 16, 2021
There’s also this report from Citizen Free Press, citing multiple sources:
Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly did not want any part of facing the music on Sunday after the catastrophic collapse of Afghanistan. The U.S. humiliation on the world stage set off public demands to hear from the president; but in the absence of the Commander-in-Chief, any White House explanation about the disastrous finale in a two-decades-long war would have sufficed.

But ... given that this expresses their view of the world, it shows that in their mind Pedo Joe’s performance is abysmal even against that standard.

And yes, WOW, is the right word.

In what could be an indicator of things to come in the 2022 mid-term election, the GOP flipped a state senate seat in a Connecticut special election on Tuesday night – the first flip for either party in 2021.
The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) announced in an email:
State Republicans tonight delivered the first flip of a state legislative seat in a special election by either party in 2021, as Republican Ryan Fazio defeated liberal Democrat Alex Gevanter in Connecticut’s state Senate District 36 – a district Joe Biden won by more than 25% in 2020.

Could be the Davos types are absolutely terrified at china's rise and potential to displace them as the kings of the global police state, and Xiden is far too feeble and enthralled to china to guarantee that the destruction of America won't benefit the Davos types instead of china.
