lmao, Biden coming out for damage control and just steps in another pile of shit.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Seriously. What the fuck is going on? How is this man in charge? Would feel comfortable letting him drive you to work at this point?

It’s like being duct taped to a chair watching a toddler playing with a loaded pistol.

Give this red head on stage credit. She's been on for 45 minutes (longer than Biden) and fielding a shotgun of questions from the gallery.

Oh I dunno, how long do you have? Almost 3,000 Americans died in Puerto Rico under his watch for one...

I do think there's a strong contrast here, however, where multiple people (myself included) are willing to criticize the president for what's happening in Afghanistan right now, while certain other folks were completely unwilling to criticize their dear leader previously and even seem to be salivating over the debacle that's happening, even now that signficant blood has been shed.

I think this could have been handled much better, but the attempts at dunking for political points right now while people are dying are gross.

Is that the one where the food trucks from the government were dumped?

Containers of Hurricane Donations Found Rotting in Puerto Rico Parking Lot (Published 2018)

The containers, collected from private donors by a group controlled by Puerto Rico’s first lady, are sitting in a state parking lot, crumbling and infested with rats.

Not saying he couldnt have done more, but just saying there were a lot of people to blame for that one.

oh! If only the same could be said for the current topic….

That thing is a mess. I dont understand why Afghanistan troops werent trained for this.

I dont understand why US citizens werent priority.

I dont understand why people werent evacuated before the military were.

This whole situation makes no sense.

Look, you are seeing what is going on right? The guy shouldn’t be allowed to operate heavy machinery. He’s running the fucking country. This isn’t about politics. I didn’t agree with Obama a whole lot. That is politics. This is different. This man can’t be in charge of anything important. It would be sad if it wasn’t such a serious thing.

 

[JORMBO]

Let's compare a natural disaster to a disaster created by politicians. That makes sense.

It was almost like both were seen in advance and contingencies should have been put in place and weren’t due to complacency or incompetence or both and Americans died as a result….

 

[FunkMiller]

Fuck me, America. Maybe you’ll get a decent leader again one day

It's a bit far fetched to expect Trump to redo all of Puerto Ricos infrastructure within the first few months of him taking office. But that's a bit off topic. Meanwhile Biden has gotten tons killed already, created a terrorist safe haven, weakened America on the world stage and lost the trust in our allies.

Our political class has gotten away with basically zero accountability for as long as I’ve been alive. To the point where a major party cleared the deck for a guy who looks like he belongs in a retirement community, and we fucking elected him to be President. I get that people didn’t like the other guy either. But the LEAST they could’ve done was find someone who wasn’t like this. This is actually frightening to see as an American.

The Afghan troops were trained for this. They just took all the training and equipment and then joined the taliban instead of fighting them.

US citizens weren't a priority because the biden administration hoped to pin the blame on Trump.

People weren't evacuated before the military because the biden administration hoped to pin the blame on Trump.

The whole situation makes sense when viewed like this: The Biden administration was hoping to pin the blame on Trump and it backfired.

I don’t know what the rules are in this thread about politics anymore but it’s amazing how one guy can be completely exonerated for one scenario and the other can be completely nailed to the other. I’m willing to dole out criticism wherever it’s due, and there’s plenty due for this administration here, but the hypocrisy from others who carried water for the last one mind boggling.

The sign interpreter's gesture looks more like a WTF to the uninitiated

 

[Apocryphon]

I'm sure he isn't.. but at times it looks like he's using that notebook to hold himself up at the podium.

Seeing as we're back to the typical team sports, the thread is done.
