Biden needs to step aside and GTFO. He's completely out of his shallow depth and the whole world knows it.
Team Blue is going to ride Biden through this storm. Whether he gets dumped on the back side is a different matter, but they don't want to taint their 2nd strong anymore than she has for herself.
But can they really? What if the WH is picketed in the style the Left does. And more and more keep gathering and demanding the resignation?

If this were a movie script, every studio would reject it for being too absurd.

I can't believe what I am listening to. Patting their selves on the back about getting 104,000 people on the airfield without an explosion. "At least they didn't get on a plane." I'm sure the mothers of the dead servicemen will sleep better now. This guy is almost giddy in his presentation.

Biden isn't going anywhere due to succession rules.

Biden steps down.
Harris is sworn in.
- Boop: Libs lose their tie breaking vote in the Senate.
- Boop: House and Senate have to ratify via majority the new VP.
- Boop: Republicans now have a say in who will be VP, or they can stall until the election which torpedoes any liberal legislation.

Ergo: Biden isn't going anywhere.

It's really hard to process how bad this could get. Again there are a lot of people who need to be cleared out from this. Honestly DoD needs a complete overhaul. So much Tail, not enough tooth. (And yes I'm well aware of the significant amount of logistics and accounting it takes to run dozens of outposts across the world simultaneously while maintaining a credible threat deterrence.

So the strongest military in the world is negotiating the release of our 5k troops? This whole administration is a freaking joke.

They have held our citizens hostage in the city of Kabul. Yet they are an ally now. Unbelievable indeed.

ETA: This is literally as a result of them!! They created this dangerous, now deadly, scenario. More Americans will be killed because of them, too!

Trying to figure out if state or defense is the bigger failure here. That's how f'ing bad this is.

Only coordination that needs to be done at this point is tell the Taliban there will be consequences for further American deaths, regardless who was responsible. To show them you are serious you completely obliterate the largest stronghold in the country. Then ask if there are any more questions.

Not so sure. This will drag them all down next year. People aren't going to forget. Democrats were given the keys to the House, Senate, and executive. This is what they have to show for it. Scapegoating Biden now is probably their best option to distance themselves. Otherwise they're going to look like opportunists to the middle of the road voter who decides elections.

Yes, for a few days some of us thought this was all state and defense was having to eat a sh^t sandwich.

Now we realize both groups are making sh^t sandwiches.

I've never been a fan of witch hunts in general but if one was ever called for it, this is it.

The knives need to come out and a purging needs to happen. I don't even care if a few unfairly get caught in it anymore. Life sucks dont it. The mentality of mocking " If it saves one life" has changed to "Let none escape" in my eyes.

Biden holds ultimate responsibility of course but all of these things didn't come from one man. Our government does t work that way and even if it was supposed to no way that it is efficient enough to actually function in that manner.

People need to go away in disgrace and shame and it needs to happen quickly and publicly IMO.

And as one of your litmus tests, anyone who so much as argued a CRT view or passed around one of its pamphlets should be cashiered.
