The World is not Joe's friend, anymore

Two points:

1) CNN is not Joe's friend,, anymore.. I think the progressive left is moving to dump Joe and CNN is greasing the skids.

Quote:

CNN continues hammering Biden over Afghan turmoil: 'If this isn't failure, what does failure look like?'
'Biden no longer gets credit simply for not being Donald Trump'

https://www.foxnews.com/media/cnn-co...xJDuh8yUN3sJPU

2) The EU and UK are pissed..

Quote:

Europe left exposed as Biden walks America away from the world stage

https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/20/europ...cmd/index.html

Parliament holds Joe Biden in contempt over Afghanistan. MPs and peers unite to condemn ‘dishonour’ of US president’s withdrawal and his criticism of Afghan troops left behind to face Taliban

NO LEADERSHIP:

How far down the chain of command does this GO.... THE ABSENCE OF FIRM LEADERSHIP....? The Biden-Harris Administration has FAILED AMERICA.

I think we should start by shunning those that put the clown in chief where he is. Those that voted for him should have to feel the pain for their actions. I don't simply blame the politicians for being the devils they are. I put more blame on the devils that put them where they are.

I'm sure some of our more righteous leaders will be standing in front of congress demanding accountability.

where are all the proponents of “principled conservatism” that told us how important it was to have principled leadership?

why are so many republicans in congress so fucking quiet right ow?

I was thinking how high up the chain does this go, Joe keeps telling everyone that he will get in trouble with people if he stops to talk to the press.

Exactly! There is absolutely no one holding "them" accountable and they are simply going on with business as usual while the world and our nation is falling apart. The Republicrats aren't doing a single thing to fight against the administration while the Dems fought tooth and nail everyday of Trumps. They are all cowards, IMO.

The left may be laying groundwork for a 25th Amendment action.
They need to drum up Republican support for purposes of political cover.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see a RINO float the idea.
Also, they may want a practice run and make some back room deals in case the favor needs to be returned for a different POTUS after 2024.

Can’t trust any of them.

The regular guy from MSNBC who sits in the room and tosses softballs to #OrangeGirlBad® stood in front of the WH yesterday and used the word 'debacle'. That is not a small thing for them.

Followed by Harris heading off with her pair of Boeings on a previously scheduled trip to VN. No sweat, Rice has got this...

It is a total shit show.
There are more infantry to secure the Capitol building in DC than there are to secure the airport in kabul.

Question for the old hands

After Biden (and principals) advised folks to "get to the airport", I happened to see this:

AMEMB Kabul says DON'T come to the airport, it's too dangerous, fill out the form and we'll call you.


Quote:
Do not call the U.S. Embassy in Kabul for details or updates about the flight. This form [Repatriation Assistance Request] is the only way to communicate interest in flight options.
Just curious, my question is: So, they have good infrastructure over there to just hang out on the internet and complete electronic forms for each person in your party? This stuff is hosted in Virginia.
