What Afghanistan tells us about Team Biden’s incompetence

Original Article

Posted By: Moritz55, 8/22/2021 3:39:52 PM

Last year, during the presidential campaign, Joe Biden promised the American people his administration would be characterized by order, discipline, experience, and, above all, competence. That has turned out to be spectacularly and obviously wrong. As we watch the spiraling disaster that is the withdrawal – which, unlike its antecedent collapse in Saigon, is likely to get worse, not better in the coming weeks — fundamental questions arise about the competence of the Biden administration and what the answers might mean for the remainder of its agenda.

Traitor Joe and his evil minions have the VERY HIGHEST LEVELS of incompetence. Their incompetence knows no bounds. All of their affirmative action hires were selected for the crotch equipment, or their skin color, without the slightest regard for competence.....although showing signs of actual competence would be a serious mark against any candidate for 'evil minionship'.

It tells us the same thing that every single event since Jan. 20th have told us: Team Xiden is not only not up to the job, but in every single instance their response has made the situation measurably worse. There has not been a single thing that ROTUS has been involved with since seizing power that hasn't ballooned into a full blown crisis due to the inept ministrations of this Team of Incompetents. Xiden is both stupid and vicious, and has been for his entire political life. He is a pin-brained loser who has been a negative barometer for 50 years, so contemptuous that his own boss (not the sharpest knife in the drawer himself) expressed publicly how unqualified he is. He was widely regarded by his own colleagues in the Senate to be the dumbest member of the club, so bereft of good ideas that his entire service there was considered by most to be a complete fraud.

We haves learned a valuable lesson. Incompetence kills, gross incompetence can only be accomplished by godless, anti-American zealots who believe they are smarter than anyone else. This thing has not hit its zenith yet, wait. It will get worse, much worse because with democrat incompetence comes great hubris. Biden should be marched out of the White House along with his entire cabal from Obama to every local election worker who worked hard to steal the 2020 election. Clean them all out.

Think about it. When has a democratic president done anything, anything that was a benefit to our country. And now, this dementia ridden moron, Joe Biden comes along to cement the legacy of democratic presidents. All he had to do, WAS NOTHING, NOT A FREAKIN THING. Just follow the policies TRUMP had in place and we would be cruising along as a country. But no, in just 7 months, this pathetic idiot, has destroyed our border, destroyed our economy, destroyed our energy independence and now this Afghan debacle. The Taliban saw Joe Biden and started licking their chops. Pathetic, appalling and nauseating.

Poster #7 is right. How could this be any worse than if it had been planned? Everything in the past 7 months has been coordinated by a cabal whose sole intent is bringing the United States to destruction. Biden is vacationing either at Camp David or his mansion in Delaware. Schumer is hip-hopping at a festival in New York and Pelosi is having a grand fund raiser in Napa Valley with a couple hundred of her closest friends, all unmasked except for the servers. And the media is barely covering this. Just think of the screaming headlines if Trump had been re-elected, the superimposed pictures of terrified Americans trapped behind enemy lines crying to be rescued with pictures of Trump, Pence or McConnell partying. The Republicans would be finished forever. But the 'rats get away with this crap time after time.

Anyone notice that for the last week or so Biden has most always appeared at his televised teleprompter reads by himself, or with a couple of others who stand far from him. Biden has also taken back up wearing a face mask? Are we getting ready for another shutdown?

From Newsweek (of all places) Biden Just Handed Afghanistan's Mineral Wealth to China -- Afghanistan has some of the world's largest deposits of lithium, estimated to be worth between $1 trillion and $3 trillion. The bad news is that Joe Biden's decision to pull American troops out of that country has unilaterally—and literally—handed all of the potential bound up in those lithium deposits to Chinese communists. Comment: Afghanistan is no mistake. It's just as deliberate of Soros, Obama, and (oh yes) Demento Biden as stealing the election, opening the border, busing illegals all over Red-State America, and cutting the pipeline. They know exactly what they're doing, and why.

The Taliban’s seizure of Afghanistan — emboldened by President Joe Biden’s senseless decision to rush U.S troops out of the country without a plan — blindsided the Afghan government, the Afghan military, and America’s allies. This reckless decision has led to bipartisan criticism in the United States and from our global allies, and ridicule by America’s adversaries. Biden’s attempts to blame everyone but himself for this fiasco, his refusal to take press questions for nearly a week (except from sycophantic George Stephanopoulos), and his decision to hide at Camp David while these events unfolded have only intensified criticism. As commander-in-chief, Biden is at fault for this disaster. But his senior security

Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen told "America's Newsroom" that Biden has given radical Islamic terrorists, including Al-Qaeda, the tools they need to conduct attacks potentially deadlier than 9/11. MARC THIESSEN: If Al Qaeda reconstitutes itself in Afghanistan and starts carrying out attacks on the West—there’s gonna be a backlash alright and the politics are going to be very bad for Joe Biden… When we talk about ending endless wars—radical Islam hasn’t ended its war against us. People take for granted the fact that we haven’t been hit since 9/11 like the terrorists lost interest or something. No, it’s because we’ve had our boot on their necks all over the world…

The Biden administration has moved to quickly process migrants streaming across the southern border but has not been able to speed up the processing times for Afghan interpreters and other allies who assisted in America's 20-year war effort. The White House announced last month that it will speed up asylum claim processing for migrants at the southern border, claiming in a release that they are seeking to "fair, orderly and humane" immigration system after the Trump administration policies "unjustly prevent individuals from obtaining asylum."

Oh, for the days when trolls were mythological creatures, living in Nordic caves. Today, they live online, poking us with bitter invective instead of intelligent arguments. That’s what some of President Biden’s defenders are doing, now that he is struggling. With only a weak defense to offer, most are in hiding. The few who venture out in public have turned to a last resort: trolling anyone who dares to criticize the president. Their favorite taunt is “Do you want the president to fail?” The point here, apparently, is to try and inoculate Biden against any criticism by suggesting that to question his actions is tantamount to wanting

President Biden promised that the United States would welcome Afghan allies escaping the Taliban into the U.S., but only after they have been "screened and cleared" at military bases and transit centers. Biden said that the U.S. has set up processing stations in third countries, "working with more than two dozen countries across four continents." When planes take off from Kabul, they go to U.S. military bases and these processing stations," he said in a press briefing on Sunday. "Once screened and cleared, we will welcome these Afghans… to their new home in the United States of America," Biden pledged. The president also said the Taliban has to

The past week was filled with harrowing images out of Afghanistan. Helicopters evacuating U.S. embassy staff in a visual callback to the fall of Saigon. Taliban soldiers roaming the streets, executing innocents. Afghans clinging to the outside of C-17s, some falling to their deaths after takeoff. Like most Americans, I agreed with Presidents Trump and Biden’s goal to finally leave Afghanistan after 20 years. In my naivete, I expected a modicum of competence as we withdrew. By Sunday, everyone realized the withdrawal was a tactical fiasco. But instead of correcting the problems, our governmental officials thought it best to point fingers.

The American-nurtured Afghan military of the last 20 years that had suffered thousands of prior casualties evaporated in a few hours in the encirclement of Kabul. Enlistees apparently calculated that their own meager chances with the premodern Taliban were still better than fighting as a dependency of the postmodern United States — despite its powerful diversity training programs. Forces more powerful than the Taliban, in places far more strategic, will now leverage an ideologically driven but predictably incompetent administration, a woke Pentagon and politically weaponized intelligence communities.

"Get out of Afghanistan!" This has been a demand by Germany's Left party for 20 years — since 2001, when Germany's military mission within the framework of the NATO-led ISAF operation began. Was this just an easy and cheap demand to make because the opposition party never had to assume the responsibilities of government, and with them the responsibility for combat missions of the German armed forces, the Bundeswehr? The answer is: yes and no. Yes, because fighting the Taliban and their terrorism was — at least at the beginning of the millennium — linked to a justified hope for progress and democracy benefiting the people in Afghanistan. And no, because

For nearly 20 years, American men and women have gone to Afghanistan and performed heroically. But they were asked by our leaders to do an impossible task: to turn a mountain backwater into a thriving democracy. We lost our best and brightest in those mountains—men and women who would have started families, built businesses, and sustained communities. My heart breaks that these dead may have died in vain. But they won’t if we learn the long-term lesson of Afghanistan: the people who lead this country aren’t fit for the task.

The majority of Americans no longer believe President Joe Biden is competent in his role as the Commander-in-Chief, according to a CBS News poll. Fifty-one percent of the respondents said Biden is not competent in his position as president. This is compared to only 49 percent who said he is. Additionally, the poll found that 52 percent of the respondents did not feel the president has been focused. The poll was taken during and after the fall of the now-Taliban-controlled Kabul, Afghanistan, when Biden botched the U.S. troops’ withdrawal from the country. With that, 53 percent of the respondents said they disagree with the way Biden withdrew the troops.

President Joe Biden hailed the FDA's approval of the Pfizer vaccine as the 'moment you’ve all been waiting'–as he urged Americans who have been sitting on the fence to get their vaccine shots 'today' but dodged comment on Afghanistan. It was a welcome moment of good news for an administration battered by weeks of negative headlines, from spiking cases of COVID-19 to the collapse of the Afghan government and plunging poll numbers. And Biden, speaking at the White House, portrayed it as a huge victory even though it will be of limited practical value months after the vaccination received emergency approval.

The U.S. Capitol Police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6 during the insurrection was cleared Monday after an internal review concluded the action may have spared the lives of lawmakers and staffers who had barricaded themselves inside the building. "The officer’s actions were consistent with the officer’s training and (U.S. Capitol Police) policies," the agency's inquiry found. The agency declined to identify the officer. Federal prosecutors decided in April not to pursue criminal charges in the case. Some who supported the Capitol siege by rioters angry about the outcome of the presidential election cast Babbitt as a martyr to the conservative cause.

Instead, Cuomo asked staff at his Albany mansion if they want to take care of his dog, Captain, the Albany Times Union reported, citing two state police sources. The sources also told the publication an Executive Mansion worker recently took Captain home but didn’t want to take care of the canine. The pooch—a 3½-year-old Siberian-shepherd-Malamute mix—has bitten multiple people in recent years, the Times Union reported.
