President Joe Biden on Friday cut off reporters who questioned him about the US troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, saying he wanted to focus on the upcoming Fourth of July holiday and 'happy things.''I want to talk about happy things, man,' he told reporters who asked him about the American troops who left Bagram Airbase after almost two decades of war. Biden had come out to brag about Friday's strong jobs report when he was asked about the exit of American troops in the middle of a Taliban resurgence that has sparked fears Afghanistan could descend into civil war. The Taliban claims to have recently captured more than 100 of

And so it ends, 20 years later...
I don't want to hear about anybody being left behind. Get EVERY American soldier, their translators and their families out of that hellhole! Those that allied with our troops and supported them deserve passage into this country. Hell, everybody else is coming.
The Taliban has already re-taken 100 of the 400 provinces in Afghanistan. It will collapse within months.
To all those LDotters who may have served there or have family members who did, I thank you for your service to this country. I'm glad you made it home and appreciate your sacrifice. It is long past time to shut this down.

Of course he wants to talk about happy things even if they are made up. He does not want to acknowledge or call attention to the destruction he has caused since he was put into office.

Biden is Mr. Phony Baloney, and effectively a “Trojan Horse” for a “progressive” cabal of leftist and socialist Democrats who supply his with crib cards and the information that Biden squints and reads off a teleprompter. Biden obviously does not want to talk about Afghanistan because he appears to be cutting and running covertly away from that battlefield under the cover of the Fourth of July. What does Biden care about the troops over there, as he is off to his Delaware mansion for a four day weekend.
Getting out of Afghanistan is not altogether a bad thing. As since invading Afghanistan, the USA and the coalition have lost a lot of soldiers by the politicians and the Pentagon brass only using ineffective tactics for the most part that the Taliban who have been fighting for a thousand years considered to be patty-cake. To win a war on the Afghanistan battlefield the USA and the Western coalition would have to use the hell fire tactics reminiscent of Genghis Khan, and the Taliban knew from the get go that the Western liberal democracies would not do that. So in the end the Taliban, just like the North Vietnamese, simply waited out the USA and the coalition, and having a chance to overthrow the Afghan Government again.

Biden's follow-through on Trump's initiative to pull our troops out of there has my full support. If he gets hounded for handing the country back over to savages, all the better. But I resent his association of the Fourth of July with "happy things." He's lying about that.
Reagan's quip about every day being the Fourth of July to Republicans, whereas democrats want every day to be April 15th. Brilliant.

Biden doing a Q&A is like watching a hockey game. Nobody wants to see him mumbling and reading a speech...it's boring like a hockey game.
We tune in to watch him try to answer questions especially off -the-cuff answers...just like a fight at a hockey game...that is why we watch, wondering what he is going to say next.
"Biden is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you are gonna get".

At every appearance, he should have that sign behind him. The one that says: 'JO BS PLAN'.

All that money from your cut of Hunter’s bribery industry… which payout made you the happiest? Let’s talk about your happy happy things, Joe. Remember when hard evidence of corruption used bring about considered legitimate questions?

Biden you cheater, the only problem with you is that you are an illegitimate president, pal. You know, that Great Election Fraud of 2020 that Kamalie, you, the dim party, the deep state, the chicoms, and the globalists pulled off in November?
If you want to talk about "happy things", let's talk about your and Kamalie's removal from office.

And so end's this week's episode of "The Truman Show'. Tune in next week when Truman begins to suspect the people surrounding are not really his family but actors.

For once - - Despicable Joe is right.
No president should ever be asked a difficult question - - and no president ever has been asked a difficult question. So - - why should Despicable Joe be the first?

If the cognizance challenged pretender wants to talk about Independence Day I would like to know directly from him on why the * administration denied the request for the Independence Day celebration at Mount Rushmore. There does not appear to be anything logical about this fiat. It is all political

Mount Rushmore?
How about the National Mall?
Once upon a time we had a concert and fireworks on July 4.
Because of the dread of a party wishing to violently overthrow the fraudulent government of the United States (using sweaters and scarfs), and the murderous invasion of the Capitol on January 6 (one unarmed protestor was murdered), the July 4 celebration has been cancelled.
The destruction of the Capitol was unprecedented. Three windows were broken. There was a scratch on Peloisi's desk. What a horror. AOC is still in therapy because of the murderous gangs which roamed some building where she was not located.
$50,000,000 has been spent on barbed wire and National Guards Fascist Militia to protect the Capitol.
Somehow a way has not yet been found to force the FBI to release its list of agents who planned and executed the January 6 barbarity. We can't even learn who killed Ashlii Babbitt.
But no problem. Joe and Pete will go forward.
