Daily Broadside | Biden Casts Blame for His Incompetence on Afghanistan

Daily Verse | Jeremiah 8:6
No one repents of his wickedness,
saying, “What have I done?”

Happy Tuesday, Broadsiders! I don’t make it a habit to eat a boiled egg every day.

The appalling, unmitigated disaster that is the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan led by Joey Waffle Cone continues to get worse by the day. It’s a stunning embarrassment for the United States, a humiliation on the global stage, and a shameful disgrace that should lead to every single employee in this illegitimate administration getting fired.

While Afghanistan is falling in on itself, Resident Biden went on “vacation,” along with Circle Back Psaki, who was AWOL and unavailable to answer questions about where Biden was or what he thought about the situation he created in Afghanistan. Yes, the world is on fire and Biden is taking some time off.

But after getting bad press from both sides of the political aisle, including CNN, The New York Times, and the Washington Post, the man of a thousand ice cream flavors was juiced up with Adderall and sent out to make a statement, which sounded like this: Trump! Afghans! I had no choice but I stand behind my decision!

“The choice I had to make, as your president, was either to follow through on [Trump’s] agreement, or be prepared to go back to fighting the Taliban in the middle of the spring fighting season.”

He’s lying about that. He could’ve nixed the deal that Trump had in place and done his own deal. He could’ve increased the number of troops we had in Afghanistan — he’s (allegedly) the Commander in Chief! It’s not like he had to do Trump’s deal. Heck, he reversed a number of Trump policies.

Biden’s a weasel, blaming Trump for the situation.

I will give Biden this: you can’t provide will power. The Afghan army had no confidence in their ability to defeat the Taliban. Yet, if you’re pulling your troops out of a country, you need to plan on an orderly withdrawal and put the infrastructure in place to guarantee your plan.

Biden didn’t do that.

This band of political losers — yes, you read that correctly — doesn’t have a clue about human nature or about how the real world works. Sen. Tom Cotton understands the gravity of the situation: “President Biden is dangerously disconnected from reality.”

Powerline’s Paul Mirengoff writes that the collapse of the country was that obvious to anyone watching.

“[B]oth presidents had enough sense to maintain our presence — for eight years in Obama’s case and for four in Trump’s. They did so because they understood that, in all likelihood, our withdrawal would mean a total Taliban takeover of the country, a bloodbath of anyone who had supported us in that country, a national humiliation for America, and a return to power of the two terrorist groups responsible for 9/11.”

Hidin’ Biden and his crackpot team are fundamentally unserious people who are wrecking not only our country, but the country of Afghanistan, making the world less safe and diminishing America’s prestige among the nations.

2024 can’t come soon enough.
