Joe got George Bush mixed up with Donald Trump ?

Lets hope that he doesn't get Israel mixed up with Iran  

Yes that was embarrassing. The guy isn't right. I don't know how anyone keeps defending such an unfit person.

[ozimoron]

Even Trump showed some grace, recognising the frailty of age.

 

"Well, I hope he wasn't hurt," Trump said, adding, "The whole thing is crazy -- you gotta be careful about that ... because you don't want that, even if you have to tiptoe down a ramp."

 

After his fall Biden, who is now 80, stood back up with some help and walked away unassisted.

In his condition, shouldn't it be "had a fall"?

Yes his policy on running away from Afghanistan and the non Mexican border went well ????

Who actually authorised the running away withdrawal from Afghanistan without any workable plan to do so.

 

How about ex president Trump?

 

You may have noticed that I provided a link in my response to you, something that you may have forgotten to do.

 

No matter as I am sure that you will find a different link which shows mine as completely wrong, perhaps.

There are 12 pages in this document.

 

President Biden’s choices for how to execute a withdrawal from Afghanistan were severely constrained by conditions created by his predecessor. When President Trump took office in 2017, there were more than 10,000 troops in Afghanistan. Eighteen months later, after introducing more than 3,000 additional troops just to maintain the stalemate, President Trump ordered direct talks with the Taliban without consulting with our allies and partners or allowing the Afghan government at the negotiating table. In September 2019, President Trump embolded the Taliban by publicly considering inviting
them to Camp David on the anniversary of 9/11. In February 2020, the United States and the Taliban reached a deal, known as the Doha Agreement, under which the United States agreed to withdraw all U.S. forces from Afghanistan by May 2021. In return, the Taliban agreed to participate in a peace process and refrain from attacking U.S. troops and threatening Afghanistan’s major cities—but only as long as the United States remained committed to withdraw by the agreement’s deadline. As part of the deal,
President Trump also pressured the Afghan government to release 5,000 Taliban fighters from prison, including senior war commanders, without securing the release of the only American hostage known to be held by the Taliban.

 

Over his last 11 months in office, President Trump ordered a series of drawdowns of U.S. troops. By June 2020, President Trump reduced U.S. troops in Afghanistan to 8,600. In September 2020, he directed a further draw down to 4,500. A month later, President Trump tweeted, to the surprise of military advisors, that the remaining U.S.troops in Afghanistan should be “home by Christmas!” On September 28, 2021,
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Milley testified that, on November 11, he had received an unclassified signed order directing the U.S. military to withdraw all forces from Afghanistan no later than January 15, 2021. One week later, that order was rescinded and replaced with one to draw down to 2,500 troops by the same date.
During the transition from the Trump Administration to the Biden Administration, the outgoing Administration provided no plans for how to conduct the final withdrawal or to evacuate Americans and Afghan allies. Indeed, there were no such plans in place when President Biden came into office, even with the agreed upon full withdrawal just over three months away.

And running it far far better than his predecessor.

 

I very much doubt that you for example could run the USA at all.

Nonsense. He isn't running anything. All the people around him tell him what to do. He can't even remember how or where his son died. When he gives speeches it is just gibberish. Mentions climate 5 or 6 times then stumbles off stage. It's all scripted nonsense.

Remember this? Long list of blunders. 

Seems no matter how many gaffs and how incompetent he appears to be some on here will continue to make excuses for him, and even vote for him again. I fail to see how anyone can do that and consider themselves a patriot, it's just slavishly supporting the democratic party, no matter how bad he gets.

And how many lies has Trump spewed out over the last few years. Many of the people around Trump told him what to do as well, and he sacked most of them for NOT agreeing with him

The anti_trump supremacists have an unnatural resentment about Trump and they would vote for anyone standing against him. 

Bill, I suggest you put Trump's photo on your altar, really, it is the only way to rid yourself of a terrible affliction which  clouds your judgement-

Really??

 

We are not allowed, according to you, to defend President Biden by comparing him with ex president Trump, who you may have noticed, was firmly beaten during the presidential elections yet still cries like a baby, about the election being stolen from him.

Can you not understand that this thread is about Joe Biden falling over a sandbag and that is the subject we are talking about ?

   You are criticising people for staying on  topic and your only defence of Bidens frailty seems to be............................*Donald Trump did/said,/is a or whatever*

I call it the "NABAT Defence"- "Not As Bad As Trump". Which I find funny, because if you simultaneously belive that a/ Trump is low/base/crap and b/Trump is the standard, then you are truly damning Biden with faint praise. "Better than Trump" is not saying much. 

 

As bad as the fall at the Air Force Academy was the recovery. Very slow, took 3 people to pick Joe up, then he started sloooooooowly pointing at the offending sandbag. I mean, he's 80 years old. There is no way in hell he should be anywhere near a position of responsibility. He can't even remember how many grandchildren he has.

It was about 100,000 jobs north of estimates I believe. Additionally the previous months figures were revised upwards by a big number, I think. That's huge. One wonders how long the wingnuts can sustain the "Biden is wrecking the economy mantra".

On top of it, inflation has fallen slightly under 5% in April
