Team Biden isn’t The Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight: they’re the gang that doesn’t shoot at all. He’s supposedly going to leave troops in Kabul past the August 31 deadline, but, still, no promise to get all U.S. citizens out.
Stubborn Joe Biden Snaps, Falls Apart in Interview as Afghanistan Crisis Worsens
President Joe Biden continued to struggle with his response to the crisis in Afghanistan after days of hunkering down and seemingly waiting for the storm to blow over.
Faced with an outcry from the press over the president’s unwillingness to answer questions about the chaotic conclusion of the 20-year war in Afghanistan, Biden did an interview with ABC News host George Stephanopoulos at the White House to defend his actions.
The interview was the first time Biden took questions about the crisis in Afghanistan in eight days. But he did not appear prepared.
Biden snapped at Stephanopoulos for asking about Afghan people rushing a plane as it took off the runway in the airport in Kabul, some even falling to their deaths as it took off.
“That was four days ago, five days ago,†Biden replied sharply when asked about the images, trying to dismiss them entirely.
In fact, however, the incident occurred only two days ago, which Stephanopoulos did not press him on.
Got that? He’s saying “who cares if Afghans fell to their deaths while trying to cling to an airplane, that was 4-5 days ago. The rest of his answers were not particularly good, and, really, this guy does not look well. Politicians usually look a lot better when answering questions. Obama was great when throwing out his BS. Joe’s been an elected official since 1973
EXCLUSIVE: Pressed on whether the U.S.'s exit from Afghanistan could have been handled better, Pres. Biden tells @GStephanopoulos, "The idea that somehow, there's a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing—I don't know how that happens." https://t.co/mH1AyWI5lb pic.twitter.com/osAwdDQy2L

The eye motions, closing of eyes, bowing head, facial gestures. Not good. He does not look well. He declined to take any questions after his brief conference in the afternoon Wednesday, yammering about COVID and masks and taking shots at Republican governors. No mention of COVID surging like wildfire in the Democratic Party run state of Hawaii, which is an isolated island and has been fully on board with every restriction known, and never dropped their mask mandate. Florida Gov Destantis is having none of it
DeSantis said, [relevant remarks begin around 2:45] “[H]e is obsessed, while you have all this stuff going on with Afghanistan, obviously, all the stuff at the southern border…one of the biggest border disasters in the history of our country, inflation, gas prices, and what does he do? He is obsessed with having the government force kindergartners to wear masks all day in school. In Florida, we believe that that’s the parents’ decision. Joe Biden thinks the federal government should come in and overrule the parents and force these young kids to wear these masks. And you’ve got to wonder, where are your priorities that you’re so obsessed with this issue and so obsessed with taking away parents’ rights and you’re letting Afghanistan burn, our border burn, and so many other things in our country fall to pieces?â€
Well, good news, Joe might be going back on vacation, because he’s supposedly having trouble sleeping at the White House
Despite Biden’s failure to address the controversy, he may be trying to squeeze another long weekend at his home in Delaware during the month of August.
A Federal Aviation Administration flight restriction notice suggested that Biden would leave the White House for Delaware on Wednesday and remain there until August 23.
He’s supposedly still at the White House. Does he leave or stay? The only things on his schedule are his daily brief at 9 and a meeting with his national security team at 10.

The U.S. has no plans to evacuate Americans in Afghanistan who are located outside Kabul, according to a report Tuesday.
“I want to remind everyone how we got here, and what America’s interests are in Afghanistan,” Biden said before he went on to level with viewers about how he “came to understand firsthand what was and was not possible in Afghanistan.”
Ours is a populist age, dominated not only by the anti-elitist posturing of Donald Trump and the Republican Party but also by a resurgent left that views “billionaire†as a dirty word. Many of our most profound problems, however, originate not in the pathologies of a narrow ruling class but among the broad mass of humanity.
