    Guess I don't see the cheesy moral equivalency between a resolute man and a vegetable.

    Majority Say Biden Not Up to Job, Others Making Decisions for Him

    A majority of voters say His Fraudulency Joe Biden lacks the physical mental capacity to be president and that others are making key White House decisions for him.

    Rasmussen Reports asked 1,000 likely voters. “How confident are you that Joe Biden is physically and mentally up to the job of being President of the United States?”

    A majority of 52 said they were “not very” (11 percent) or “not at all” (41 percent) confident. Only 46 percent said they were “very” (32 percent) or “somewhat” (14 percent) confident.

    When asked, “Is Joe Biden really doing the job of president, or are others making decisions for him behind the scenes?” Only 39 percent said “Joe Biden is really doing the job of president,” while a majority of 51 percent said, “others are making decisions for him.”

    I think they were ASSuming everything would remain somewhat stationary for a time, they could declare “Mission Accomplished” while the Afghans put up a fight giving them some time to distance themselves and control the narrative.

    As time goes on, we now understand they knew a quick collapse was possible. Why in the hell they rolled the dice, is beyond comprehension. The downside risk, stranding thousands.... I pray they can get everyone out safely, but this is looking like a complete failure on whoever assessed the withdrawal. If the Taliban starts going full Neanderthal making examples of people or we take casualties rescuing civilians. The blowback on this administration will be epic.

  9. You would have to be nuts to think that John Kerry is off working on climate change today.

    He is over at the world bank and other international snake organizations brokering a cash deal for the Taliban. Or trying anyway. Whatever it is, you won't learn about it until six or more months down the road. I could be wrong they may just use their usual Saudi banks and "facilitators."
