President Joe Biden on Wednesday joked with an NBC reporter about the evacuation in Afghanistan as thousands, including many Americans, struggle to get out of the war-torn country as the Taliban takes over. Biden, after he made remarks at cybersecurity summit featuring several prominent business executives, was asked by NBC's Peter Alexander what he would do if Americans are still in Afghanistan after the August 31st deadline to withdraw U.S. troops. 'You'll be the first person I call,' Biden joked in response.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki defended Biden's remarks pointing out he has given numerous updates and gotten many briefings on the situation in Afghanistan. 'He has also highlighted the fact that we are closely watching closely following the threats from ISIS,' she said at her daily press briefing.

Desperate Afghan men, women and children have swarmed the airport in a bid to get out amid fears of an attack from the Islamic State offshoot ISIS-K and 10,000 evacuees are inside the gates waiting to get out. About 4,500 U.S. citizens and immediate family members have been evacuated over the last 10 days. As many as 6,000 Americans who wanted to leave Afghanistan were in the country when the Taliban took Kabul last week.
The administration has been criticized by Democrats, Republicans and the international community for sticking to its August 31 deadline to remove troops with critics worried the evacuation won't be completed in time. Biden said on Tuesday they were on track to complete it by that date. His latest remarks came as he enlisted the private sector to help his administration combat malicious online cyber attacks. 'We've seen time and again how the technologies we rely on, cell phones, and pipelines and the electric grid, can become targets of criminals,' Biden said. 'The reality is most of our critical infrastructure is owned and operated by the private sector and the federal government can't meet this challenge alone.'
Being a smart ass has pulled him through other issues.
It’s serious this time, and he doesn’t get it.
He gets it alright and his concern for the USA is on full display.

This is the true face of “progressivism.” Everyone who voted for this clown has blood on their hands: from this debacle and from the involuntary injections. Disgusting!
They pulled that 1500 out of their rear ends.
It went from we don’t know @ 10,000 to 1500.
I call BS. Why anyone believes this administration or the State Department is beyond me.
Yeah, even they get it...really get it! Biden’s spine is about as study as a powder puff.
Byedone is a class 1 Ahole. A demented Ahole. But still an Ahole.
A smart ass reporter asking a smart ass question to a smart ass.
“It’s serious this time, and he doesn’t get it.”
If I may politely correct that statement:
“It’s serious this time, and as always, he doesn’t CARE.:
:(
You’d think he could at least fake concern.
But they’re blatant about ruining the USA, so I guess it makes sense.
Even with an adoring press, Puppet Biden still can’t handle the questions.
Imagine if he had a raving hostile press like the one Trump had to deal with on a daily basis. He would implode into the fetal position. The occupier needs to be removed NOW!
This has nothing to do with Biden’s mental state.
He has always been like this. He is an arrogant elitist with the “working man” facade thinly layered over a disgusting interior the same way Vegas Casinos are nothing more than fancy facades over disgusting buildings.
The DM is not happy with dementia man
You know he was never very bright...
Obama was barely in charge when he was officially in charge. He’s not running things now. Maybe nobody is. In domestic policy, the Democrats are trying to get through all they can. In foreign policy, the administration is expecting coordination and leadership that Biden isn’t providing. People want to believe that the foreign guy with the foreign name and the foreign religion or ideology is pulling the strings behind the scenes, but it’s not happening.
“You know he was never very bright...”
For decades he was known as the dumbest member of the Senate; though Barbara Boxer and Patty Murray got honorable mention.
President Retard thinks he’s running Comedy Central and the results indicate he is.
Are these pics for real? That’s a hell of a mock on Biden if so!
