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.

Agree. Trump is sagacious.

I know.

They fight dirty without evidence and when we have the evidence, some on our side (are they really) question if we’re being fair.

Cut him some slack. He honestly forgot why he was there and needed the toilet.

I figured he was checking for a pulse.

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

I couldn't quite get that memory clear. Thanks for that reference.

I remember the news story that Biden in the Dem debates tried to prod the moderator with "Well, I guess I've overrun my time so I'll stop." "Outta time." (Big smile).

Was told, "No, you still have more time. Please continue with your policy solutions."

Wasn’t it Romney that got blasted for checking his watch during a debate?

Trump would have been absolutely savaged by the media...

I figure that this would qualify for another round of impeachment.
