busy making sure none of the blame falls on her. Ohh, and taking care of the Haiti crisis
despite her saying just weeks ago she was the last person to leave the room when forming the exit strategy of Afghanistan.

You know what else is fricked up?
FoxNews never has folks in these places reporting. They just sit in NYC and provide opinion pieces and harp on the same points for the entire day.
I fricking loathe CNN. However, at least they have reporters there.
Where are the reporters at the Airport? If it's that bad and media can't get there or media doesn't feel comfortable. Why aren't they saying that?

This is how the 1/6 “insurrection” happened. Good luck. I believe you have good intentions, but I also believe it will do nothing but potentially harm you.

I’ve been the last person to leave conference rooms where decisions where made. Not because I’m important but because I was dicking around in my phone and didn’t realize we had wrapped up

This is a new, peaceful taliban. The reporters/MSM will only go so far to paint this admin as incompetent.

As cowardly as I think Biden and Harris are for not doing a press conference, I think them actually doing a press conference would be more harmful to our people in Afghanistan. They would either project weakness or bungle the whole thing. They are 100% being kept away from cameras

The fact that all of these international outlets have resources in war zones and contacts at universities and museums and stuff that are happy to get on Skype and tell you about the shooting outside or the checkpoint down the road - while Fox and MSNBC have some former GOP consultant (MSNBC) or some pretty girl who runs a PR firm (FNC) to talk about something they have no real experience with - it's just so damning to US media.

I definitely think it's intentional. Both to avoid further gaffes and because they've decided that this is simply not an administration built to show expertise on these topics. To be honest it's increasingly obvious that our entire government has been built over time to be particularly ill suited for this moment, but this administration is particularly useless.

No, no it’s not. That’s what your logistics group is for. Inventory it, snd load it up on the cargo planes that all those afghans were stacked in.

He would without a doubt be worse. He's just as dumb, but he isn't asleep half the time because of all the meth.

I wish I remembered the poster or where to find the post but someone here said it best (something like this)
Biden: poor brown and rural people in the US can’t possibly find a way to use the internet.
Also Biden: all you suckers stuck in this 3rd world shithole must find access to the internet and fill out a form if you don’t want to be raped, tortured and beheaded.
