Also that the Afghani government basically said, "We got this." And they trusted/believed them.


And all reports from the intelligence community say they told him it would collapse quickly.

Democrats don't take questions. They tell you what you need to hear according to them.

What a train wreck.

Both sides of the isle want to leave that shithole.

The issue is how badly we fricked up our exit, Joe.

Of course not.

I wouldn't be surprised if that shite was actually pre-recorded.

I am downright ashamed to be an American under this fraud. President, I hope other countries will come to their rescue. This is heartbreaking. Meanwhile our southern border collapses! What the frick is happening?

Fact, the administration was aware, acted carelessly and this occurred.

At least it takes the heat off of Biden for his domestic shite show.

Of course he won't take questions. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Biden have another 3 years before he would passing this issue to a 5th President, as he said about 10 times. Why were the military assets pulled out prior to the civilians, answer that question if the "Buck stops with you."

He also hasn’t addressed any specific failures that could have easily been avoided before turning over our citizens’ security to a known incompetent Afghan “military.”

Idiot in Chief cuts short his nappy time to come back and blame everyone but himself. Taking lots of pages out of the Carter, Clinton, and Obama playbooks. No Maalox line in the sand from Joe ?

the speech writers actually didn't do that bad with this, and i've liked a good bit of what this idiot has said, but it's just laughable coming from him b/c no one believes him, or for our enemies, believes in his threats.



I agreed w half of what he said I guess. All the background and finger pointing shite was lame. His point and inferences this was all for naught over 2 decades is correct but we all could've told them that since Bush.

I wanted to hear some firm shite directed to the Taliban to stand down and let us work, though. That if you fire a shot, we'll fire 100.

Nah. His media lapdogs are turning on him because they have people there that can't get out. They have written fricking articles today begging the White House for help. Literally begging.

At some point though, they need to take control over their own country.

We cant stay there and hold their hands forever.

The taliban just walked through the country which tells me they were never going to stand on their own.

All of this shite right here was completely and utterly useless in this moment. It was for one thing and one thing only....fricking political cover.

This perplexes me too. You kill one of ours, we kill 10 of your leadership group. Just go full assassination happy.

He looked like a robotic corpse with dead batteries being operated like a mannequin. I’m disgusted right now.

If it take a couple hundred media members dying at the hands of the Taliban to get a somehwat unbiased press again, it would be well worth it.
