Staffers Openly Fighting In White House–Biden Goes To Sleep Early
[Palmieri Report] According to Human Events Senior Editor Jack Posobiec, the Biden White House is descending into fighting among rival staffers.

He said that Biden’s Chief of Staff wanted to get Biden back to the White House.

Jill Biden blocked it.

Kamala refused to do a press conference because she is focused on Haiti and not Afghanistan.

#1 A complete and utter shitshow, we're only seven months into this circus, and it's somehow going to get a lot worse.

Great fucking job running a head of lettuce on your presidential ticket last year, Democrat Party.

#2 The US government in shambles as the result of the corrupt DNC.

#3 At some point Kamala is going to shiv Biden, but then she's going to have to fight Nancy for the throne.

#4 I watched Bidet's address, it sure seems like either they got his meds just right or this situation has scared him straight. He blamed only the Afghans for what's happening and insisted we have to fight mideast terrorism from "over the horizon" from now on. If sure came off like somebody realized this had to go note perfect or else.

#5 Thank you for watching it, M., so we don’t have to. Nice that someone got the words right for him to say, since nobody over there is getting the actions right.

#6  either they got his meds just right or...

I have note seen the video. But this would be as good a time as any to swap out RealBiden for animatronic DisneyBiden.

#7 I watched it as well for reasons I am not entirely certain of or reconciled to. It was very decent of him to explain to the simple populace that he had decided to leave Afghanistan and he didn't much care what anybody thought of it. What a guy!

Of course there wasn't any discussion of the mass of functional equipment left behind, classified and not. The effective grounding of the Afghan Air force by his personal order, although he held out great disdain for their performance. Then he graciously explained that the current mission was 'not without risk'. So much to learn and apprehend.

All in all a typical self congratulatory dem speech although I begin to suspect somewhere a straw man has thrown his back out under the strain of that Overton Window.

#9 Also, typical behavior of coup leadership after a coup.

#10 Oh and the Democrats have shown that they are ONE WITH SATAN!

#11 The address was pathetic. He very briefly allowed that "events unfolded more quickly than we anticipated" but otherwise accepted no responsibility for a totally botched and humiliating withdrawal.

He talked on and on and on about how the mission should never have been nation building, that we shouldn't have to fight their civil war for them so he stood by his decision to withdraw. Fair enough.

But running off to Camp David while the Taliban moved into Kabul and US embassy staff desperately attempted to destroy evidence and safely evacuate was unforgivable. It projected an image of a president who is old and tired, detached from reality and taking orders from his wife. It discourages our friends and emboldens our enemies.

I still say he should resign.

#12 Well, in one respect, they wasted what may have been one of his better performances by having it during working hours on a Monday. Lots of people will see only snippets on the news tonight. Got to wonder if that's because they knew he wouldn't do so well at say 7-8 pm tonight.

#13 M. Murcek, that just goes to show they never know when Joe will have a good day anymore.

#15 Most of the post mortems are focusing on the horrible optics of Joe taking no questions and leaving immediately to resume his vacation at Camp David.

#16 The sorry SOB neglected to mention that he was VP under Soetoro for 8 long years of the AFG mess. He alluded to all possible scenarios closely examined and everything essentially going as planned. No mention of the recommendation of military advisors, diplodinks or staff. We must give him WOKE points for the mention of the plight of Afghan "women and girls"....no mention of dancing boys. Said "buck stops here" but went on to blame the host government and people. No sign of Kam, which was a definite plus.

Failing grades all around. Back to bed following an exhausting brief.
