Joe Biden still isn't done congratulating himself on the great job he's claimed to have done on Afghanistan, and already he's cutting jokes about Americans left behind.
Here's the outrageous exchange, according to Matt Margolis of PJMedia:
But, when asked about the situation after a briefing on cybersecurity from NBC’s Peter Alexander, Biden treated it like a joke.
“What will you do if Americans are still in Afghanistan after the 8/31 deadline?” Alexander asked.
That’s when the White House cut off the audio feed.

The entire Left thought nothing could be worse than mean tweets. Is reality biting you in the butt yet?

I have to believe this is all done on purpose...a sinister purpose... with serious malice in the decisions-makers' hearts and motives.
1. No one has resigned over this-No general or Cabinet Secretary
2.No way this was brought forward ( I think...even the Biden lightweight thinkers would know) without the Intel and Military stating the obvious...this will create a catastrophic humanitarian disaster
3. There is (again I ASS U ME) no chance that Biden or whoever is running Biden will take the steps to rectify this...think Saigon 75, Iran 79, Blackhawk Down 93, Benghazi 2012...NO ONE has ever said they were sorry for those events...SAME People in charge today
4. This is a distinct pattern: Open Border, destruction of fiscal responsibility, and COVID Tyranny to weaken (Their best shot) permanently the US and defer to a rising China...this is just another self-imposed crisis which is going to be a heartrending disaster.

Corn Pop could have spared the world had he dealt with Hairy Legs Joe when he had the chance. Is he still alive, by the way? I'd love to hear an interview.

Afghanistan is biteme’s gift to China. Think of all the rare earth minerals they’ll get their hands on, not to mention state of the art military equipment they can reverse engineer. I don’t know where biteme’s offshore accounts are but I suspect a very large deposit is forthcoming from Chairman Xi.

For anyone dumb enough to have fallen for the propaganda that Biden was a kind, caring guy, you’re finally seeing the real jerk many of us saw many years ago. Selfish, phony, do only what helps him and puts money in his and his family’s pockets. Every word out of his mouth is a lie but the media doesn’t attack him like they did to President Trump. Did they ever hear of a follow-up question?

The Presidential Oath of Office Joe Biden took on January 20, 2021:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
With thousands of Americans stranded behind enemy lines in Afghanistan, a reporter asked President Joe Biden “What will you do if Americans are still in Afghanistan after the 8/31 deadline?”
Biden's response: "You'll be the first person I call."
Whether it was a "joke" or sarcasm, or worsening dementia, his response was flip and inappropriate. He did not demonstrate a normal thought process with those remarks, nor with pulling out the military BEFORE he had our citizens, Afghan interpreters, and military equipment safely out of Afghanistan.
God help us all.

Criminals often enjoy a touch of dark humor to lighten up the moment and ease the stifling boredom of their labors.

Maybe he could tell us a knee slapper about the Pulitzer winning Reuters photographer just killed by the Taliban.

Remember the outrage when Trump referred to "s---hole countries?" Well, this is 100 times worse. Where is the outrage over this from the left and the media??

Biden had no script for that question and revealed his own antipathy toward the stranded.

Those who didn’t read the article missed this:
That was evident enough in some of his early addresses, where, as I noted here, he was one cold, heartless b*****d on the entire matter, blaming everyone but himself for the Afghanistan fiasco of his own making, starting with his insult to Afghani grunt soldiers all supposedly being cowards (someone should ask this sneering draft dodger about the tens of thousands of Afghani soldiers and police who have died fighting the Taliban over the past two decades). After that, he told terrified Afghanis who've just lost their country that he'd be sure to speak up for them at the United Nations, so never mind about the tangible protections they'd just lost with his setup for the Taliban takeover. Worst of all, he pretty well told America's veterans that they'd wasted their time and lives fighting for Afghanistan as they had in this war, but to cheer up: He was there as their hero now, ensuring that nobody would ever fight a war like that again, which was supposed to be their 'reward' for all that blood, sweat and tears over the past 20 years. It was repulsive, leaving America's Afghan war vets feeling a kindship with America's Vietnam veterans, spit on by hippies at America's airports. (Edited to pass site filter.)
Brava, Monica!!!
