Today's press conference proves beyond doubt that Biden is a total fuck up. Even with a mostly friendly MSM and a press corps throwing him slow pitch softballs, he can't manage to stay out of digging himself into a deeper hole.
BidenPresident here says otherwise, but he's a fool. Biden got angry the first time the press tossed even a mildly tough question his way. It is hardly the first time he's become a angry, unhinged, whack-a-doodle in the middle of something unscripted. The guy really is a thin skinned moron. I guess that's why he had to cheat and plagerize his way through college...
BidenPresident says the media wants to paint Joe Biden as a failure. He won’t let that happen. Biden doesn't get a choice in that. The more he's out in public, the more he reveals himself to be the angry loser he actually is.

Oh, no!
Fake news. Biden ended a 2 decade war, and brought the economy back from Trump's debacle.
He's doing okay so far.

Of course, that's how all stupid assed petty dicktaters (aka potato dicks) act. It's epidemic on the Left. I suspect Biden, being the simpleton he is, got thoroughly indoctrinated by the Leftists in the Obama administration and now they are getting him to be their front man--maybe geek or dork?--as President. Biden takes all the blame for everything while the Left continues to flail about hoping their wish list of shit to fuck everyone gets done.
And of course, there are plenty of Leftists who willingly sip that Kool-Aid.

No. Americans are still stuck in Afghanistan, left behind and wanted forgotten by Biden, while the economy isn't even fully back to where it was before Fauci plague shut down the economy. Inflation has more than eaten up any gains the average person has gotten in wage increases, while store shelves are often empty regardless of what our Feckless Leader says. Rents are soaring across the country, gas and energy prices mean people are having to make hard choices about heating their home or buying food.
Joke is a total fuck up and the polls show it. If he was doing things right, he wouldn't be in the low 30's in the polls and really only getting support from the Left at this point.

I'm interested to hear your plan on Afghanistan, that would have gotten everyone out without more fighting, a much longer presence, and more casualties.
Please expound.
As for the economy, like I said - it's so much better than when Trump left office, just a year ago. It has a long way to go, but the progress is undeniable.
The US could have done a number of things.
1. Continue air support for the Afghan army. Near zero risk of casualties there, but a big payoff in morale and keeping the Taliban from succeeding.
2. Keep Bagram air base. See 1 for a reason. But otherwise, it gave the US a secure and measured means to continue to drawdown without fucking everything away.
3. Not pull support for the regime out from under them without consultation
4. Kept our allies there informed.
That's for starters.
As for the economy, it isn't better than it was before Fauci plague hit. It has largely recovered, but that doesn't make it better. Using the metric of the economy hit by a lockdown versus the country reopened is both insidious and deceptive.
The real question is How much better would it be if the US still had energy independence, wasn't spending money like a drunken sailor, was still minimizing new and onerous regulations, and worst of all pushing a Greentard set of policies?

Air support?
Where would they fly from, specifically?
How many troops would be needed to maintain Bagram?
As for COVID, all Presidents have to deal w/ crisis. Trump failed. Republicans have always left the country in worse shape economically than when they started, and Democrats have always led America back to recovery, at least in modern times.

Irrelevancies. We held the base securely. We had the troops to hold it in place. It was capable of operating our air support entirely out of it. If it took a few more months to withdraw in an orderly and intelligent fashion, we should have done it. But Joke unilaterally, without consulting the Afghan government or our allies demanded an immediate withdrawal that turned into a complete clusterfuck.
Trump did way better on this than Biden has. By every metric, Biden's rigid mask and vax mandates--the only two things he's consistently demanded--have been a complete failure.As for COVID, all Presidents have to deal w/ crisis. Trump failed.

Trump had a plan for Afghanistan, actually a deal with the Taliban. A deal to withdraw by 5/1
Biden arrogantly tossed all that to the wind and moved the withdrawal date to 9/11 for "optics".
Now answer me this.. Did or did not Biden have to have everybody out before 9/11, or after?
