This is how our government behaves with the 'adults' back in charge, huh?

I am beyond done with people whining about how Trump 'wasn't presidential' or some other nonsense about how they just wanted things to go back to normal, or lamenting how divisive things were during the Trump years. This was laughably predictable, and the biggest thing the White House is concerned about right now is a lame attempt at damage control and making sure no one takes responsibility. 'The buck stops with me' my ass, Biden, you can't say that and then blame the mistakes of your predecessors for the current mess.

I hope so called 'centrists' and Democrats are happy with the regime they helped propel into office. They're going to get to see what real harm the apathy of selfish, arrogant people can inflict on the world. I hate saying things like this but at this rate we deserve what we're going to get.

Oh they absolutely are happy. A large percentage of Democrat voters think the economy is going well. They don't live in the same reality as the rest of us

IT's going well for the Starbucks literatzi. People who cant afford a $5 small coffee arent doing so well, though.

They can't even be bothered to try to spin this with any coherency. No charm, no real attempts at persuasion, just 'this is how its gonna be' and buh-bye. I wonder if the media will ever be annoyed by the fact the president just expects them to handle all the damage control for him?

Oh, and here's a TL;DW:
Blame Drumph
Blame Afghans (fair enough imho)
Ain't Gonna Study War No More- We Gonna Push Alphabet Rights Instead
About 15 Minutes of talking about why it is good to pull out instead of why the pull out was botched.
Reporters Yell Incoherently
Cut the feed!

He said something about human rights so I was sort of reading between the lines.

Ain't Gonna Study War No More- We Gonna Push Alphabet Rights Instead

That's a fantasy. If you want Afghanistan to respect people's human rights, you'll have to start by killing off the 80+% of the adult population that doesn't.

Well they can keep dreaming on then. Afghan's approaches to global human rights are the same as their approach to global humanitarian government - they don't recognize it. I love how the follow up press briefing revealed their strategy was to bribe the Taliban to recognize human rights though - they've already beaten the shit out of you and stolen their country back, now you're going to pay them for it. A-fucking-mazing.

Yes. A court stuck it down because reasons. Honestly if I were him I would've said fuck the courts and continued to decide who I want at the press conferences. Courts have no jurisdiction over WH affairs.

But they would have impeached him for that too.

and yet there now is precedence, aka non-approved medias could just push themselves in and contest it in court

Nah, it showed that he could handle tough questions, that makes it a better administration. Safe Space Bidenot is already ruining the country with his press secretary on VACATION right now.

This isn't a press conference, it wasn't even a staged event for pravda, it was a "Biden is not to the point of mental collapse, see, he can interact with....CUT THE FUCKING FEED!"

10 minute "speech" and then he fucked off back to his vacation, honestly, if this were anyone else people would be screaming for a special session to impeach his ass.

100 times this. if it was trump this would be the third (or fourth impeachment for wanting two ice creams).

It was pretty laughable he wasn't even willing to field softball questions after the signals went out that was the plan. Relies on the media to do all their smokescreens, can't even give them much material to work with.

Despite how they try to spin this, this was clearly a loss for the regime-changing, nation-deconstructing globalists. I think we should keep hammering them over this for years to come.
