I’m not concerned with stupid people’s incorrect perceptions*

Well, I think in this case that it would have more of an impact on your side's low information voters than it will on the "other side's" low information voters, since those folks already don't like him. It won't play well in blue collar flyover America, which is where many of the young adults killed this week grew up.

The Afghanistan story is over now. By the time the next election comes around, it will be a very distant memory. How it plays with anyone now isn’t gonna matter then.

The buck stops here. It was all Trump's fault.

I don't think Trump has much to worry about on this one. A few Democrats may bring him up during hearings, but I expect the vast majority of the focus to be on Biden and his administration.

That's my prediction.

Of course, my list of problems with Trump is already way too long. It's not like I've have to add any at this point.

How long until Biden gets on Twitter and attacks the Gold Star families who misrepresented him looking at his watch? Gotta project strength!

I do expect whenever Democrats want to conclude investigations, Republicans will keep calling for more. Unless the whole thing starts to become too umpopular for them and they can't get any more outrage.

Heh, I heard a new meme today. The Outrage Industrial Complex.

I'm not bothered by Biden looking at his watch, though you might wonder how somebody as experienced as he is as a pol wouldn't know better.

What I'm bothered by is just finding out that his son didn't die from combat or anything like that, meanwhile the gold star parents are saying he regaled them with his sorrow over Beau instead of hearing them out about their loss.

Beau died of brain cancer.

This is how Biden rewards people who save his ass. Quote is from the WSJ. What a president.


"Thirteen years ago, Afghan interpreter Mohammed helped rescue then-Sen. Joe Biden and two other senators stranded in a remote Afghanistan valley after their helicopter was forced to land in a snowstorm. Now, Mohammed is asking President Biden to save him."

Does he want Biden to fly there and personally pick him up? 😂

It’s enjoyable watching you guys feign outrage over every little thing now.
