Politico, a leftist site, details Aug 11-13 WhiteHouse shambles
Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. SOld, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... or is that an act?...
and his inner circle were in an ebullient mood.

It was Wednesday morning, Aug. 11, and they were basking in the glow of back-to-back legislative wins...

The mood was dramatically different from the celebratory spirit on display just hours earlier in the dining room. "It was a serious moment," recalled a senior official.

Events were growing so dire that the president ordered Austin and Milley to prepare a plan for deploying additional troops to the region,...

But by Thursday morning in Washington, more population centers were falling to the Taliban by the hour, including the provincial capitals of Ghazni and Badghis.

In the Situation Room, Austin was now recommending that Biden send in troops to evacuate the embassy and protect the main international airport in Kabul. Sullivan asked each Cabinet member in the meeting to weigh in. They unanimously agreed.

That was the "oh, shit" moment, said the U.S. official...

"By Friday afternoon, it was clear to me that we were rapidly losing control of the situation at the capital, in the airport, and that the evacuation operation was in jeopardy," Crow said.
"More seriously, our polling was slipping"

#1 Like Crazy Fool mentioned yesterday, this is another MSM attempt an in insincere change of tack, and a half-assed one at that. "We're doing our jobs now!"

It's that, or the news is so bad they have no choice but to report it.

#2 They are just trying to get back ahead of the spin cycle. It won't be easy.

#3 
Given how the MSM starting to do a complete 180 on the DC seat holders. Heck even Social Media has eased up on censoring filtering comments against the DC Seat holders, and Top Liberal Political Blogs are even reaming the currently puppet seat holders in DC.

Are we seeing the next step in this orchestrated mess?

Will we soon start reading, how the "people" want the current DC seat holders impeached/removed and (insert a well known name) "temporarily" asked begged and reluctantly willing to head up a "Transitional" Administration to save America?

#6 Victor Davis Hanson: If Biden were a Republican, Dems in Congress would have impeached him. They should

#7 i think the only thing keeping the Dems from openly attacking Plugs is that Kamela is even worse, and it would cause even more chaos.

just think, the leftists would have that talking point of 'they even took one of their own to task for his failures'
