So now we learn that Dementia Joe not only knew the Taliban was kicking a$$ in Afghanistan but he tried to extort the Afghan President to provide him with political assistance by changing the perception that things were not going well, whether true or not.  Now let's see, Trump was impeached for something much less egregious.  Now is the time for Dems to trot out their double standard.....cause if they didn't have double standards they'd have no standards at all. 

And how does the Afghan President respond?  He flees the country with $170M.  Smart man not to trust or rely on a doddering old, senile fool.....heck, I wouldn't have trusted the guy when he was in his prime and in full control of his already limited mental faculties.

Trump released the whole transcript, and yet impeachment articles were drafted.  Will Hidey do the same?  23 days before the takeover, he was sure that this would be a peaceful and proper transition because the Afghan military would NEVER succumb to bribes and fight to the bitter end and Hidey's plan was fail proof.  Did I miss where Archie is calling for Stallone to rescue the stranded Americans and Afghan translators?

Nope, just his crystal ball BS about how Trump would have done it worse then Biden actually did and something about was someone posting vaxxed or not as if he was concerned he would catch Covid over the internet, he really is seperated from reality.

Now we are seeing text messages where the military was ordered by the State Dept to not allow American citizens into the airport. 

As the one guy texted, "Yes, we are f**cking abandoning American citizens." 

Another wrote, "You guys left American citizens at the gate of the Kabul airport.  Three empty jets paid for by volunteers were waiting for them. You and I talked on the phone. I told you where they were. Gave you their passport images. And my email and phone number. And you left them behind."  "Great job saving yourselves. Probably get a lot of medals," he added.  Finally, "We get them to the gate, and the U.S. Army completely fails this saying, 'Oh, we can't do it, because the Department of the State tells us we can't do it," 

As the old saying goes, Dementia Joe and Baghdad Jen sit on a throne of lies.  Except these lies are going to cost innocent Americans their lives.  And don't believe for a second this crap about them not wanting to leave.  Lots of evidence that they wanted to leave but were dissuaded by our benevolent Federal gov't.

I can't even begin to explain the State Department mindset, but they are sincerely incapable of following any kind of logic or reason.  I totally believe that State told the military that.  Several Pentagon briefings that I watched, I thought the Pentagon was showing a lot of frusration regarding the handling of the evacuees.  Remember when in the discussions about Benghazi, Hillary was delaying things trying to figure out if the rescue forces should wear uniforms or not?  Classic State Department.  

Colin Powell and Condolezza Rice were the only Secretaries of State in recent memory that brought any kind of logic or common sense to that organization.  Kerry, I'm sure, fit right in with their lack of logic.  Don't forget that they were totally responsible for mess in Iraq after the invasion.  It was a State Department decision to fire all the military and police which threw the country into chaos.  

Just watched the Pentagon briefing by Milley and Austin.  Supposedly, they were "speaking to the troops" telling them to set aside their anger and disappointment.  I somehow doubt that having those two lap dogs speaking to the troops will do much to soothe the military members.

I read an article that described the current leadership at the State Dept as meta-ignorance, better known as the Dunning-Kruger Effect, which I had to look up.  Here's a good definition:  The Dunning-Kruger effect is a type of cognitive bias in which people believe that they are smarter and more capable than they really are. Essentially, low ability people do not possess the skills needed to recognize their own incompetence. The combination of poor self-awareness and low cognitive ability leads them to overestimate their own capabilities.  Or put more succinctly, fools are blind to their own foolishness.  Learn something new every day.

The even sadder part is that Never-Trumpism caused them to cancel the Crisis & Contingency Response bureau in the State Dept which was formed to respond to exactly these kind of emergency issues without all the bureaucratic hurdles to getting something done.  Their head recently resigned because of Blinken's decision.

Reports that not only did the DOD have knowledge of the bomber, the target, they knew who he was, where he was, had him locked on with a predator drone, Taliban denied Biden permission - which depending on where he was at the time I can understand if they did not want to send a missle into a crowd to stop him - but to not pass on the info to the armed soldiers who were there who could have stopped the bomber(s) with a few bullets before he detonated....

it has been said that Biden has been on the wrong side of everything in his political career, and Obama himself said dont underestimate his ability to f it up - sadly both are more and more accurate daily.

At some point I keep hoping to wake up, but sadly this nighmare is real.

that the president of Ukraine visited the WH without having to open an investigtion of the antics of Trump Sr and Jr nor Rudy in his country.  There are calls from such GQP intellectual leaders such as Marjorie Taylor Greene for impeachment.  Why don't y'all get behind her in her efforts.  I'm sure you would do the GQP proud.  She is one smart lady...yes sir!  I'm sure y'all are very proud of her and the GQP squad...you know who they are.

who appointed ''Biden lap dog'' Gen Milley as Jt Chief's Chaiman on Dec 8, 2018.  I seem to have forgotten.  While you are at it remind us of who proudly announced in 2020 a ''peace treaty'' with the Talaban negotiated without participation or even input from the current Afgahn Government.  A treaty that announced the total withdrawal of all US troops by datr certain May 1 2021. A treaty that released 6000 Talabam (terrorist?) prisoners.  A treaty which your dear leader wanted to acknowledge  by inviting the Talaban leadership to Camp David for a Sept 2020 celebration.  Answer those questions then lets discuss the failings of Joe Biden.

Zelensky was probably visiting in order to pick up his paintings from Hunter.  Still not a word or explanation from you as to why Hunter was able to command 83K a month from Burisma during his daddy's VP days, yet we must concern outselves with Marjorie Greene?  BTW, why have the Ukrainian Prez here anyway?  With Hunter's thriving art career, he doesn't need the phony job, does he now?
