This man could wrap his own presents and still be surprised on Christmas.

How are you gonna “hunt down” a suicide bomber and “make him pay”?

[ariamoy]

No Biden, you can't take responsibility and blame it on Trump in the same sentence

[danielnalley]

This is one of the most embarrassing and saddest moment in our military history. We have folks stealing our equipment and helicopters like a video game and we lost more of our most precious and prized possession. I’m literally sick that our leadership is so terrible. Our country looks like complete failures.

[Unakanon]

No matter how bad this may seem, just remember, it’s ALWAYS 10x’s worse when you find out the truth.

[TVMAN]

“We will not forget”

Also Biden when asked about people falling from airplanes

“That was 4-5 days ago”

So much for empathy and compassion.

"Tough day. We spent many hours finding ways to assign blame to this, deny accountability, and ways in which we could survive politically"

[bees]

Their lives weren't "given" Joe, they were taken. Stop stuttering and DO

[jdeere]

12 Marines died this morning, 12 families are going through hell right now because of this lack of leadership. My condolences to the families, as a OIF veteran Marine, I hope you find peace in your time of suffering. Semper Fi, you fallen few. We love you.

10:03 - "Ladies and Gentleman, they gave me a list here. I am told the first person I am supposed to call on is..." 100% confirmation he is only taking planted questions.

Having him as president is like being inside a comedy show.
