The Commander in fricking Chief was radio silent, on vacation, for three fricking days while our civilians were being overrun. He pops in for one ten minute blurb, takes no questions, and heads back on vacation. He pops back in a few days later for an interview, gives no direction, and now wants to fly back home for a few days.

Unfortunately, his age, health, and mental cognitivity probably requires significant rest and time to recharge. He isn’t running away. He’s tired, overwhelmed, and confused.

The presidency isn’t a part time job. He should resign immediately, and take a job at a D.C. think tank if he wants to work 2 days a week.

Not shooting folks in her case, but they were chanting "Death to America!". She said despite those chants they seemed friendly.
And I get why people jumped on that phrasing, but she has done excellent reporting and has bigger balls than anyone in this thread.

Is anyone going to be surprised if this is true? He certainly isn’t working for the United States of America.

Biden’s problem isn’t age, he’s the same piece of shite idiot now that he was 30 years ago

I tried to lay off of that one. It seemed like little more than a poor choice of words.

Exactly. This is how you make this go away. Mittens is trying to save Joe.

What she said was weird, but I didn't read too much into it. She's in the midst of chaos.

Slick political move there by those two.

Told this interview was recorded Monday. On the one hand that explains why Biden thinks the situation is now normal. One the other that makes the fact he thinks the deaths of the falling Afghans happened 5 days before rather than a few hours … somewhat problematic

Everyone write down what's happening this week so your kids will have a real account of what a clusterfrick this was. I fear history won't bother.

I'm only partly kidding. This is a historic event worth record keeping on.

I’ve been saving stuff this week for my daughter. It may all get censured at some point. Some clips are posts from this thread

That was 4 days ago. Five days ago. So it doesn’t really matter anyway.
