DUMKIRK!
Powerline ^ | 21 Aug 2021 | Scott Johnson

Posted on 08/21/2021 7:26:32 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Joe Biden has half a mind to be president. Once upon a time I thought it was outré to say it out loud and point it out. Given the historic humiliation of the United States that is in process, however, that time is now time past. Today’s New York Post puts one form of the thought on the cover to promote its coverage of the humiliation — news stories such as this one, the editorial “Biden lies through his teeth, fails to fess up to Afghanistan shambles for third time” (more here), and columns by Michael Goodwin and Michael Walsh.

Joe Stolen probably considers himself to be something of a wit. Well, he is half-right....

Soon the remaining US military in Afghanistan may face the same tactical situation General MacArthur had on Bataan. Let’s hope it ends better.

Reports are getting worse by the minute in Kabul. People outside saying Taliban are shooting people and they are sending in real time the videos. Brit news claiming will be lucky if airport holds out for another48 hours.

Another British WW2 reference “In the name of God go”. Leo Amery to Neville Chamberlain.

I can see it now, 100 helicopters supported by AC130 gunships will have to swoop in and evacuate the remaining troops as Afghans storm the airfield. This is going to be a giant CF.

They cannot pull a dead in the night exodus again. Too many civilians are clamoring to get out.

Or the US Marines at the Frozen Chosin Reservoir in 1950.

“Joe Biden has half a mind to be president”

Even though he’s hardly ever been presidential material.

I would like to say that he’s probably never had an original thought, or idea, or a brainstorm. But I won’t say that because we’ve had a lot of presidents who are exactly the same category.

there is a 20 history of war, and the Talaban has the upper hand. They do not mind expending their soldiers, and could give a s*** about world opinion. Mass slaughter is up their alley.

When Bidet comes to be perceived as too much of a liability , Camel will be removed- probably charged with some crime or disabling misstep thirty years ago- and forced to resign to be replaced by someone who the Left really prefers as the resident figurehead, Mrs Bill or Michael Robinson Obama, or someone else. It won’t matter because the President, if he is not powerful enough to seize power on his own volition, will be a figurehead smart enough to take direction from the politburo without shambling and stammering but not strong enough to actually take power himself. The real power struggles will be ongoing within the actually ruling politburo, now informal, as the power figures knife each other. Destruction of dissidents will then begin starting with the currently designated Enemies of the State i.e. the unvaccinated.

Soon we may be seeing ads in magazines asking us to ...

“PLEASE SEND A GUN TO DEFEND AN AMERICAN TRAPPED IN AN AFGHAN HOME!”

Worst pull out by a Biden since Hunter failed to pull out in time to keep from impregnating a stripper.

MacArthur didn’t have big helicopters or access to F-18s and B-52s. It is possible, though that Bidet and his politburo will refuse the use of air power and sacrifice military as well as the 12000 or so civilians. If they will do that then they will move to isolate and starve the unvaccinated in the US. Yes, they are connected in a communist power move. See the history of the first years of the Bolsheviki.

It had not occurred to me for the Dems to replace Heels Up, noticing now how much of a liability she is if they need to replace Joe.

I will watch for signs of Harris being forced out (hope it's not TOO dramatic!). Then we will know the jig will soon be up for ol' Joey.

For now, my guess will be the Clinton witch...
