President Biden expected to address nation regarding Afghanistan in the next few days

President Biden is expected to address the nation in the next few days about the crisis in Afghanistan, according to a senior administration official.

One option under discussion is to have Biden return to the White House, though the official cautioned that they had not completely ruled out making the remarks from Camp David.

Earlier today, CNN's Jeff Zeleny reported that while Biden can receive the same level of briefings from Camp David, as he has been doing throughout the weekend, officials are aware of the optics of the President being out of town during this perilous moment.

Several administration officials have also been on vacation, but began returning to work remotely Sunday or in the West Wing.

Next few days ... or so, whenever. Currently getting staff to write cue cards calling it Trump’s disaster.

The Taliban did not take over the country in 4 or 5 days on a whim. They were/are well organized and, knowing the pull out was coming, were ready to spring.

This is a failure of the West’s intellegence and/or those who did not listen to them.

In the next few days?

He might be able to reach them on a secure line to our embassy in Kabul then.

The hilarious thing is this is the kind of incident when the nation usually rallies behind the “Commander in Chief” ... Except ... This particular “Commander in Chief” apparently doesn’t want to talk about it, and the “Commander in Chief” has already alienated half the nation by calling them “right-wing extremists” and worse.

In the phrase Hunter Thompson was wont to say, “Mr. Biden has cashed his check.”

JOE IS NOTY AT CAMP DAVID!

THE WHOLE TV IS PHOTOSHOPPED INTO THE OLD PICTURE!

The current time difference is 2 hours so this picture could not have been taken today. The whole TV is fake and this was not today. pic.twitter.com/Twzv4PmkpM— SCUBA MIKE 🤿 (@SCUBA2024) August 16, 2021

His team needs the time to determine exactly how it’s actually Trump that is to blame for it all.

It will take that long to stabilize his meds.

It's gotten to the point that each time he "addresses the nation" he needs a larger dose to reach the same effect.

Sort of like the Covid vaccine.

“...I wonder what flavor of pudding he’s having tonight?...”

He only gets his pudding pop on Thursdays.
They need a few days to pump him up with enough drugs so he can struggle through a new conference. This BS is unsustainable.

I will give Biden a mulligan here. This whole war is NWO Bush. It was no win from the beginning.

Wish we just figuratively threw a hand grenade over our shoulder on the way out.
