Somewhere else to be, Joe? Furious veterans slam Biden for checking his watch during dignified transfer of 13 US service members killed in ISIS-K's Kabul suicide blast

President Joe Biden is under fire after appearing to look at his watch just seconds after a salute honoring the return of the 13 US servicemembers killed in Thursday's ISIS-K suicide bombing in Kabul.

The president made the unannounced trip to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware on Sunday morning as the caskets of the 13 service members killed in the attack were brought back to the United States.

He stood in silence, his right hand to his chest, as a succession of flag draped transfer coffins were carried past him from a C-17 Globemaster plane.

But during the ceremony, Biden appears to jerk his left arm up and look down at his watch.

King George Bush the First checked his watch during a debate with Bill Clinton. It helped him lose the election.

Though deployed to Kuwait Beau Biden was not in combat
He was a military lawyer

Joe continues to steal valor from his son’s honorable but noncombat military service as if he was a combat casualty….claims it caused his brain cancer death 5 years later. Started a Foundation for brain cancer research in his son’s name, hired a bunch of straphangers and buddies, and never gave a dime to research …that’s the story of Joe Biden,

Even before the to event MSM was referring it a “dignified transfer”

Is that an actual name for it, or did somebody in the Democrat Party come up with that for their press shills to use?

Noting Biden’s disrespect to our military isn’t a distraction at all. In news cycles like we’re currently in, the people I know can observe and comment on various contemporary elements of our ongoing battle with the Deep State.

In civilian clothes, the proper salute is the hand over the heart.

In any clothes, Biden is disgusting.

Deep State would far rather have folks talking about that damn watch than whether or not they just pulled off a hit far larger than Benghazi.

Let’s not fall into this silly strawman watch diversion. Who cares. What we already know about Biden is all that matters...

HE LEFT AMERICANS BEHIND IN ENEMY TERRITORY. PERIOD

Beau was a JAG officer.

Not according to hit TV shows. To be JAG you have to be SEAL, fighter pilot, etc first. And be willing to use those skills several times a week. Even SEALs don’t mess with JAG.

Possibly, however I suspect that it was the broken tax pledge coupled with the weasel Ross Perot's fake candidacy that handed the election to Bill and what's-her-name Clinton.

Beau Biden was a JAG officer who served in Iraq. The only “combat” he saw was potential exposure to IEDs—if he traveled by vehicle outside the wire.

He probably is a Broni.

Joe dislikes the Broni costume they have because Dr. Jill is in the front and she makes Joe go in the butt.

Biden: I think Mickey’s left leg is a little slow.

You should also be a sexy 105 lb Hispanic female that kicks ass.
A single Mother who doesn’t need a man, and tells it like it is.
White men should also be all the criminals as well.
