Biden's Back in Hidin', and Even Liberal NeverTrumpers and the Leftwing Propaganda Media Are Shocked That Biden Is Hidin' Again
Greta Van Susteren
@greta 14h Has the White House made any statement why we are not hearing from our President tonight? This is a 20 year war..loss of so much life and money... he was VP for 8 years of the 20... we need to hear from him tonight. This is THAT important.
Well, there's one:
Philip Melanchthon Wegmann
@PhilipWegmann 13h No public events on Biden's schedule tomorrow.

Yes, shocking. Is this how we get Harris? With the hope that Biden was so spectacularly bad - shockingly bad to Tapper - that Harris by simply being able to walk in one direction will have a successful two year stint in which to make her case for reelection (wink, wink).

Eh, I disagree. He had seven months in official capacity. For unofficial things - like the economic downturn that began the week after the election - then it is nine months. They did some planning during the transition period, but they couldn't actually do anything until January 20th. This Afghanistan debacle is all official, and the clock started in January.

Biden is trapped: if he doesn't give a public address, he looks weak and out of touch. If he does, he's going try and blame Trump which no one will believe and may very well harden the population against him.
One of the things I keep hammering is that Biden has no core constituency. The closest he has are the upper-middle-class white progressives who comprise the managerial class and the bureaucracy's upper levels. They believed that Biden would "restore America's reputation" by which we mean their popularity with the rest of the globalist class. Instead, this disaster is a public humiliation of them as well. People will endure a lot of things, but public humiliation is one of the least.

Taliban fighters on Monday reportedly began collecting weapons from civilians in Kabul as the insurgent group cements its swift takeover of Afghanistan
"we understand people kept weapons for personal safety. They can now feel safe. We are not here to harm innocent civilians," a Taliban official told Reuters.

China is feeling its oats and based on rhetoric that they have been spouting for months (strangely our media has ignored such talk as nuking us and the Aussies, etc) and coupled with our debacle in 'Stan, Taiwan is ripe for the taking. It is clear that Biden isn't "there" mentally and the puppetmasters behind the scenes are not prepared to handle real world situations right now. Or they're on the payroll of China. Most of their high dollar donor base already is.

Yes. Apparently there were solid intelligence reports that the Afghan "army", was collapsing all over the country, and were being bribed to leave their posts. This was happening weeks, if not months ago (back in May, at least).

We rate this claim as completely false. First, while Biden did make the alleged statement, he was only relaying a message developed by his press and State Department team, so they weren't really his words. Additionally, just as the mentally ill aren't liable for crimes they commit, Biden's reduced mental faculties absolve him of the responsibility of what he says.
Second, photos from Afghanistan which make it appear a helicopter landed on the roof are misleading and lacking appropriate context. The helicopter was much too big to land on the roof of the US Embassy, and instead landed in the ground within the embassy compound. Completely false!

What is happening in Afghanistan today can't be blamed on Trump, no matter how much they try.
And Biden was in charge of Afghanistan during the 8 years of the Obama presidency preceding Trump, so Biden has much more responsibility here than Trump does.

I'm with Dave Reboi on this -- and keep in mind Pastor French was a JAG when Obama was implementing more restrictive ROA that got many more servicemen killed.
I'm finding it really hard to stomach the great concern for Afghan refugees today from people who couldn't be bothered to care about suicidal ROE and Green-on-Blue attacks for almost two decades.

He's moved on to the next phase, and won't be coming back to visit. If he was even as "together" as he was 8 weeks ago, he'd have already had a presser. Granted, 3 minutes, no questions, but something. He's too far gone even for that.

Government, as well as the family and the church, comes from God.
When government fails in its duty to punish evil and protect the good and instead protects and rewards evil while punishing good, it turns God's plan upside down.
You no longer have any business supporting such evil.

I can practically guarantee this is intentional on the part of the Pentagon. Those assholes have been dragging their feet on the evac this whole time, advising that carnage and death would occur if things didn't happen on their timeline and with their blessing. They probably refused to put together a plan in furtherance of this foot dragging. They're probably all pointing fingers at the IC and at Biden himself and saying all this is their fault and they warned everyone.

FWIW, Afghanistan was different 10 mos. ago: https://tinyurl.com/tprvfcn9
But longer term, Mike Flyn was making a big deal an=bout the situation on Afghanistan being much different/worse than what the general were saying -- the entire Afghanistan Papers project started when General Michael Flynn filed an IG report that the Pentagon was lying about the war
. . . and then he got ensnared by Deep State (so he wouldn't serve under Trump). That's another significant way in which Trump was hobbld/unable to act in Afghanistan.

Continuing a convo we were having a month or two ago, some of us were thinking we've got 2 factions fighting for control behind the curtains. Jill I think is in the group that's wrested control from the (IMHO) Obama sect. I think Harris was a concession for Obama, and whatever they had planned as far as replacing the turnip in chief went into the shitter around May. I mean really, does anybody seem to be in charge at the moment? Hopefully they find them all dead in Camp David or Martha's Vineyard. I think Obama's B-Day bash was cover for an emergency meeting of the elites knowing the feces were about to collide with the air circulator.

Yes, this is how we get Harris. Placeholder Hiden has been expendable ever since February 2021. The first time something happened that the Obummer-loan posse in the White House couldn't fix, it was time for the Brave, Stunning and Historical First Hoe President to take the stage. The handlers and controllers can't deal with this, as can be seen by the release of their canned ice cream Sunday news filler.

Nah, I think Obama was partying because he could. Nothing more than that. It's a giant "fuck you" to the rest of us.
Jill is fighting back and Harris is so unlikeable that they don't dare put her into the Oval Office until absolutely necessary. The problem is that even if they invoke the 25th, "Biden" can just submit a letter to Congress that he's feeling better and then Congress has 21 days to vote on the matter. But Congress would need 2/3s majorities to uphold Harris as Acting President.

But somebody has GOT to be a scapegoat. Is anybody going to admit that they knew Biden had dementia? Because there's no way in hell an 80 year old with 2 aneurisms/brain operations under his belt showing all the signs of cognitive decline a year ago somehow went unnoticed by the probably several neurologists following him around, and said neurologists never said squat to anybody else. If this really is coming down to an internal power struggle, this is our one shot at turning things around.

And the 8 years he was Obama's VP, Obama put him in charge of Afghanistan.
Biden whines that he "inherited" a mess in Afghanistan from Trump, but the truth is that Trump "inherited" an even bigger mess in Afghanistan from Biden/Obama.
And then Trump couldn't even do what he wanted in Afghanistan, because the Obama-ass-kissing generals wouldn't obey Trump's orders.
But yeah, somehow this is all Trump's fault.

Other than the Taliban and their asshole supporters, the only person truly and sincerely happy about all this is Jimmy Carter. He hung on until he was 96 years old, and can now die with a smile on his face, knowing that the number of people who would and did say the same about him has gone from 9 figures (hundreds of millions) to 3 figures (hundreds) just in the last 7 months. And those hundreds are all people who were (like Joe) completely senile when Joe was elected, so they haven't been keeping up. I seriously expect Carter to die peacefully in his bed before the end of the year: he has no reason to hang on now.

No, but that's always been the case with the left. They're a crowd of middle schoolers who manage to work together for a while, then start squabbling again. Defeating them should have been child's play, but the opposition was too busy trying to pad their wallet to even care about trying.
Someone above said that the GOP has no master plan; neither does the left. All they have is a long list of demands and goals on a white board and a constant tireless zealot's push to accomplish them all. They're checking them off one by one.

The American people, in general, don't care. To paraphrase Chamberlain, it's a quarrel in a far-off country between people about whom we know nothing. The families of our military care, those who served time in that shithole care, but no-one else.
Biden, Psaki and Harris are running away to get time to find the right way to blame this on Trump, and the GOP will be - led by the usual suspects - all too eager to join in the condemnation.
Mid-terms are over a year away. Once this fades from the headlines and some bread-and-circus school shootings or St George of Floyd riots, leavened with Dominion vote-counting and nobody will give a shit anymore.

FWIW, Afghanistan was different 10 mos. ago: https://tinyurl.com/tprvfcn9
But longer term, Mike Flyn was making a big deal an=bout the situation on Afghanistan being much different/worse than what the general were saying -- the entire Afghanistan Papers project started when General Michael Flynn filed an IG report that the Pentagon was lying about the war
. . . and then he got ensnared by Deep State (so he wouldn't serve under Trump). That's another significant way in which Trump was hobbld/unable to act in Afghanistan.

Yep, Trump's hands were tied in more ways than one. He couldn't get good intelligence about what the situation on the ground in Afghanistan really was, and he couldn't get his traitorous generals to obey his orders. But he was still able to keep it under relative control there for four years, which is a lot more than Biden could accomplish.

But if one steps back and keeps the overall picture in mind, I find the claims by some that the demoralization of the Afghan regime/forces which is allegedly a byproduct of that process/deal was the key to this rapid collapse ..... unpersuasive.
Even, for analysis, granting the premise that any deal with the Taliban would have huge corrosive effect on the regime's ability to operate and resist - which is itself quite reasonable - what was the alternative?
We're not talking about pulling the Colts out of Baltimore in the dead of night here. It is difficult to imagine a disengagement process that could be kept secret, and that wouldn't have the same effect on Afghan regime morale and calculations, *regardless of the details, style, or timing*.

So the Wizards of Smart are going with "We thought there was a possibility of the Taliban taking over once we broke the agreement Trump had that was signed off on by every guy with any sort of power in Afghanistan, including the Taliban, and was detailed as to who was going to do what, when people were going to leave, and how the equipment was going to be moved out"?

The million who came in the first six months are only the number who were stopped and officially counted by ICE. The real numbers are much, much higher, because ICE only encounters about 10% of illegal border crossers.
So as bad as it is to think that a million illegal aliens, most of them poor and unskilled and uneducated, many of them diseased (over 80% of current COVID patients in McAllen TX hospitals are illegal aliens, being treated on the U.S. taxpayers' dime), many of them criminals, have flooded across our southern border in just the past six months, the reality is much, much worse. The real number is closer to 10 million. In just six months.

It's all going to the Leftards' plan to wreck the economy and stir the populace into rage or apathy. Then they can hit the Great Reset button. Dunno if that's going to work out as intended. Depends on when We The People decide we're done with it, I suppose.

"If there is red tape preventing Afghan refugees from coming to America, a good thing to do would be to set that red tape on fire"
So Seth wants to set red tape on fire, which I assume is inside some federal building? Somebody poke NSA Bob.

Apparently some military lives matter more than others?
If this person's trans status makes them particularly vulnerable in a situation such as this, doesn't that reinforce why there was a transgender ban in the first place?

Because Jews are proud of their religion and/or ethnicity, constantly write and talk about it in the media, and organizations like the ACLU, SPLC, and ADL dominate the editing of Wikipedia?
Seriously, CBD, how are you framing this as Anti-Semitism in America when the war has been openly against Whites and Christians?

The Senate would proceed to do their best impression of a monkey fucking a football until after the mid-terms; everyone in the media would simultaneously pretend that such delays were terribly unjust, unconstitutional, but unavoidable, and necessary.

I don't think we'll ever know the entirety of what happened. I think the Chinese and the Iranians have been planning all this for at least the last decade. There's also all the Tolly-bon Generals Obastard released from Gitmo.
There's the fact that Afghanistan is controlled by about 40 different warlords who are easily manipulated by offering to settle scores for them. There's also the fact that a lot of the Afghani military were there for a paycheck and some fun. As soon as it stopped being fun and a paycheck, they were out.
Plenty of trainers have stories about entire groups of Afghani trainees getting frustrated or angry and quitting on the spot during training. The trainees also mostly couldn't read, write, drive a vehicle, and were uncoordinated imbeciles.

Taliban is now conducting door-to-door searches for journalists, politicians, & Afghan police. In cities & towns outside Kabul, Taliban is imposing forced marriages & executions. This is horrific. Biden is to blame.

I heard that. One fire team with a KPV MG could end things really quick. If I was an Air Force flying truck driver sure as hell I'd not land there until the Warthogs had worked over the civilian side first. Which in Hiden's era will never happen. So, how far is it from Kabul to the Tajikistan border?

I am pleased to be able to say that General Hannibal Lechter and his force of 10,000 Carthagenians, plus 200 war elephants, have set out for the Cipher Pass and should be in Kaboom by the day after tomorrow! No need for further questions!

I don't think it's anti-Semitism, as it seems to be added like a positive liberal thing, like recent immigration to the US. Wikimedia is not an anti-semitic entity and has Jews on its Board

Not really. China can't pull off an invasion of Taiwan and if things go hot on the DMZ NK doesn't exist in 24 hours. China can't afford to fuck with their number one market.

There are three Seawolf's in the lower SouthChina sea, at last reckoning, plus (probably) several others. Carl Vinson and America Groups are fairly close.
The Norks may have manpower, but they are in the middle of a drought, and the crop yields are forcasted to be very low - more dandelion soup this year.
PRC has its own problems - rainy season is fast approaching, their mega dam is not repaired fully, and the young Chinese are getting tired of the heavy hand (and surveillance) of the OLD

You could sink China's Navy with old diesel subs. Taiwan and Japan have a very nice Navy with nothing to do.

In fact, if we want to look for anti-Semites and "nazis" perhaps we should look toward Beijing instead of "white Christians".
