Moderate, Centrist, Decent Man Who Will Restore Our Norms Can't Remember if His Son Was in the Army or Navy, or Served in Afghanistan or Iraq

Here's an answer from the George Stephanopolous interview with Joe Biden, whom the highly-educated gifted analysts of the Daily Twitter Circle Jerk just decided might have something wrong with his brain:

He can't remember whether his son was in the Navy or Army, or whether he was in Iraq or Afghanistan, or whether he just ordered the withdrawal from Iraq or Afghanistan.

This is a totally-new phenomenon which suddenly emerged as an issue on August 19th, 2021.

Via Twitchy, a guy calling himself @politicalsock points out Joe Biden's many lapses of memory and confabulations.

And his deflections. Which might be political gaslighting, or might be the coping mechanism of a demented old man who can't remember much anymore and uses deflections to stop others from asking about the holes in his memory.

Also note in that second paragraph, Biden seems to lose time and speak of his son Beau as if he's still alive.

First, Biden retreats (again) to his dead son Beau. This is his first refuge anytime someone questions him about duty or honor.
But he does so incoherently.
He says Beau "spent 6 months in Kosovo." He did, after the war there had ended. He trained prosecutors. 2/6
Next he says Beau was a navy captain in Iraq. Beau was in the army, and he actually achieved the rank of major. Biden corrects himself.
Next he says Beau served in Afghanistan. (He didn't.) Then corrects himself again.
He then says Beau "had regrets...to how it's going."
Beau died from cancer several years ago. He has no idea how it's going.
Finally, Biden pivots to Russia & China for some reason but then just trails off in mid-thought: "They'd love us to continue to have to...."
Maybe he realized that both of those nations are thrilled?
They want us out of Afghanistan so that they can have greater influence there -- especially China.
Biden never even attempted to answer the actual question: Why did we leave in such a dishonorable *fashion*, with such poor planning?
But the answer he gave was incoherent, rambling and mistake filled with almost every word.
This man is not up to the job.

It gets worse.

Biden tells ABC: “We don't have military in Syria"

Pentagon: We have 900 U.S. troops in Syria
— Lucas Tomlinson (@LucasFoxNews) August 19, 2021

And it gets even worse. Biden was apparently telling the truth when he said he had not spoken to any world leaders for a full day after this catastrophe began to unfold.

What he didn't mention is that world leaders were trying to get him on the phone -- and he blew them off.

He did not get back to Boris Johnson until more than 36 hours after the UK PM called him.

Two remarkable lines in today’s papers from @Steven_Swinford @benrileysmith

— UK military left in the dark by the US about timings and pace of their withdrawal… UK official confirms this is the case
— Biden ignored Boris Johnson’s attempts to speak on the phone for 36+ hours pic.twitter.com/HSBqBhfeGh
— Alex Wickham (@alexwickham) August 19, 2021

Bonchie from Red State is perplexed:

Was Biden incapacitated? It’s not like this was a request from the president of Thailand. We are talking about our oldest and closest ally in the British. And Biden took almost two days to even return their phone call as Afghanistan descended into absolute chaos?
Further, the UK military was reportedly left completely in the dark about what the US was doing as far as pulling out. Timelines were not given, no preparations were made with NATO forces (which had more personnel on the ground than we did), and when the time came, pandemonium predictably broke out. Why was there no communication?

Not only is Britain our most important and reliable ally, but Britain also has troops in Kabul right now at this very moment, and might have questions for Biden regarding Biden's intentions and whether British troops will be safe.

But apparently Sundown called a lid for a day and a half and didn't feel like telling Boris Johnson whether British troops could count on American troops.

Someone had reported that the British troops had ordered lookouts to watch the American troops, to spy on them, so that British troops would have a heads up if the American troops suddenly bugged out.

That's the sort of thing Boris Johnson undoubtedly wanted to discuss.

But Sundown called a lid.

I'm so glad we finally have Permission from the Respectable Wing of the Party to discuss Biden's long-obvious dementia.

I'm not sure if America is now basking in the respect of the international community -- The British Parliament actually censured Joe Biden both over his decision to withdraw and for throwing the Afghan Army under the bus.

Frankly, the Afghan Army is a basket-case. Or was a basket-case -- it dissolved within hours.

But still, here's your "Respect in the eyes of the international community."

Calls are growing for ABC News to release the entire, raw footage of the interview with Joe Biden:

"If ABC was going to agree to an exclusive interview with the President, who refuses to answer questions in any public setting, then ABC owes it to the American people to release the entire video. Obviously, this interview did not go well for the President." @RepJimBanks
— Hugh Hewitt (@hughhewitt) August 19, 2021

Tucker Carlson says that the footage was edited to avoid parts where Biden looked "unpresidential." Note that the babbling quoted above was not broadcast. The transcript was released, but not the video of Biden babbling incoherently.

Given the parts we've already seen -- how bad would the censored parts have to be?

We need to see Proof of Mental Competency. Biden won't take a test, so let's see how he performed in the moment during the interview.

Is the below a case of the fishing rotting from its demented head, or is everyone in this Administration simply an incompetent with Alzheimer's?

Amazingly incompetent moment as Defense Department spokesman John Kirby says they don't have a breakdown of the people who've been on flights out of Afghanistan AND they still have no idea how many Americans are still trapped in the country behind enemy lines. pic.twitter.com/jyV4Z2nZZe

59 A reminder -- the UK's 2 Para (Parachute Regiment) has spent the last 3-days sending foot an vehicle patrols from the airport into Kabul to reported locations of UK/EU and Afghan allies and getting them back to the airport.

Meanwhile, CENTCOM has banned both the 82nd Airborne and 10th Mountain (both with brigades on the ground at the airport) from doing the same with regards to US personnel trapped in Kabul. This resulted in a shouting match between the brigade commander of the 82nd and the commander of the 2 Para about whether there would be US support or not for this operation. That was reported by a lot of foreign media on the ground in Kabul but embargoed by US media.

Then we had the SecDef and JCS saying they simply do not have the resources to do for Americans what the British are doing for their own citizens.

I REPEAT -- the British are sending their army in to Kabul to get their people (and others) out and the US is refusing to do the same.

Yup. The transcript, rough as it is, leaves two open questions in my mind:
1. How much of the "complete" transcript was censored?
2. How long were the pauses and how many were the false starts? Do dashes indicated a fraction of a second, or several seconds? How coherent was he? Were his words obvious, or did the stenographer have to do a lot of work to figure out what the words were?

There's a reason they're not releasing the full video, just like there were reasons for not doing so with Trump. With Trump, they wanted to edit it to make him look bad. With Biden, they wanted to edit it to make him look halfway competent and present.

84 But apparently Sundown called a lid for a day and a half and didn't feel like telling Boris Johnson whether British troops could count on American troops.
Someone had reported that the British troops had ordered lookouts to watch the American troops, to spy on them, so that British troops would have a heads up if the American troops suddenly bugged out.
That's the sort of thing Boris Johnson undoubtedly wanted to discuss.
But Sundown called a lid.
++++
I think it might even be worse than that, and it comes down to the problem of rule by the politburo. You can be sure Johnson knows that Biden isn't in charge. If somehow he doesn't know that, his spymasters and chief diplomats certainly do. I think "Biden" is being used a metaphor here. They couldn't get Biden - but they also couldn't get anyone in the politburo (or, more likely and less encouraging, they didn't know who to call in the politburo - or they called everyone and got different answers from all of them).

This is the part of the fuckup I find so inconceivable and the only part that I think might have been planned in advance. When you abandon equipment in theater - and there are plenty of legitimate reasons to do so, despite how wasteful it is - you scuttle it. You leave nothing useful behind. The Taliban aren't going to need or want or be able to use a bunch of scrap metal.

But we didn't leave scrap metal. We left functional equipment. A lot of it. Nicely catalogued and ready to go. What a fucking catastrophe.

Maybe he realized that both of those nations are thrilled?

China and Russia are both happy to see us out of Afghanistan, and they're thrilled at the humiliating, massively incompetent manner in which the withdrawal was implemented.

Russia's Putin already made Biden his bitch at that June 16 summit, when Putin told Biden he doesn't want the U.S. anywhere in the region, and won't agree to Biden putting any troops in central Asia to guard against terrorist threats coming from Afghanistan.

And of course China wants the many valuable minerals in Afghanistan, and doesn't want our troops there either.

Biden has always been an arrogant, ignorant fool, but now he's a senile, old, arrogant, ignorant fool.

The optics of the first successfully convicted president with impeachment being a Democrat after they tried unsuccessfully to do it twice to Literally Hitler (Donald Trump) are just so wrong that all Democrats would do is circle their wagons around the dying husk of a man that is Joe Biden.

Eventually, yes. It is more likely that, absent Trump or someone like him, it would have been an accident instead of a deliberate act. Like the Afghanistan debacle as compared to the IC hit job against Trump. The latter was planned. The former is merely an accident, albeit one that reflects their natural level of competence.

I have tried to explain this to others. There was chaos during trumps 4 years because the media stirred up the chaos. EVERYTHING was a lie or "without evidence" or "walls closing in". They made everything up. But in the end I know a lot of people who just wanted no chaos coming out of the white house.

Now that J. Dribbleneck Biden is in office, the media is quiet. They're not making up a new story every damn day that makes him look like the worst person ever.

Things are quiet or noisy because the media makes them so. People do not see this.

306 Impeachment is possible. Removal is not. Especially since the Dems lose the tie-breaking vote in the Senate the second Kamala becomes POTUS and the new VP becomes a compromise pick between the two parties, something the Dems want to avoid at all costs.

It could be a big op and a conspiracy. I kind of doubt it, but it could be.

Just as strong an answer, in my opinion, is petulance. Donald Trump took their favorite war away from them, and then Biden and his politburo refused to countermand the order. So they complied and withdrew, but did so with contempt and deliberate incompetence. Like a kid knocking over the Monopoly board when he realizes he's lost the game.

Salty Cracker had a video today from Breitbart of Michael Keaton's ads for Biden back in 2020. I really think that there was more than a fair share of dummies like him who bought the "average Joe" and wise sage crap hook line and hair dye. Because, that's what they were told, and Orange Man Bad. He also noted that now Michael is tweeting they shouldn't get involved in politics at the moment.

476 Salty Cracker had a video today from Breitbart of Michael Keaton's ads for Biden back in 2020. I really think that there was more than a fair share of dummies like him who bought the "average Joe" and wise sage crap hook line and hair dye. Because, that's what they were told, and Orange Man Bad. He also noted that now Michael is tweeting they shouldn't get involved in politics at the moment.

I just discovered Salty Cracker a couple weeks ago. That dude is hysterical, even though his language would make your grandma blush.

As for Keaton, I was sorry back during election season to see he was an imbecile. I thought more of him than that and always liked him as an actor...Mr. Mom being one of my favorite "fun" movies. Now I'll forevermore think of him as an imbecile. Sorry, you bought him, now tie that albatross around your neck, Michael.

I think it's telling that they are totally incapacitated and have completely dropped the ball. In a functioning organization, Joe would be dealing with Afghanistan and Kamala would be capable of the Haiti stuff, even if it were putting out statements that we're coordinating with some allies to get critical suplies bla blah blah. They cannot even manage that -- Kamala is in some type of hiding/not putting out any info, not speaking with the press.

And Blinken's State Dept -- no one is available to assist with Haiti, do we have no diplomatic support at that level??

568 The GOP is its most viscous when it attacks other republicans.

PA GOP state Senator Mastriano was pushing for a forensic audit of the 2020 ballots in three PA counties. He scheduled a hearing for August 5th and a vote on audit subpoenas for August 6th. He has majority support in his committee.

Republican Senate President Jake Corman cancelled the hearing room and the voting session without consulting Mastriano. Now Corman is threatening to fire Mastriano's staff and strip him of his Committee Chair.

582 Trump has to say this for the record:

We have only one sure legal alternative, and that is the complete destruction of the Democrats at the ballot box. That's what I want my supporters to work on!

We must continue to pursue other legal remedies but the traitors are well entrenched in all branches of government, so we may still be thwarted even if we present incontrovertible proof that the last election was stolen.

The next election must be our legal and moral equivalent of rebellion, and we must destroy the enemies of the people. Our effects until then must be to nominate the best candidates and to work to ensure they cannot be defeated by fraud again!

583 It is important to note that this isn't just a collapse of legitimacy on the part of our woke ruling class; it's also a giant poke in the eye to the very same warrior class that just spent 2 decades fighting the Taliban, who have turned around and gifted them with a proof-of-concept on the feasibility of defeating that same woke ruling class.

597 Those of you who aren't aware, as Americans in a foreign country like Afghanistan, you can register with the State Dept as to where you reside so that in the event of evacuation they can tell you where to assemble.

They don't know the numbers of Americans still in Afghanistan? Ask State what THEIR numbers are, as a baseline.

We evidently want Afghans to be safe, but I'm sure we can fly them to someplace besides around the globe. Say, Vietnam or China. They are telling us how awful seeing this crowd of people who want to come to the U.S. to be 'safe' is, they can take `em. I hear China even has a camp ready for them.
