Who should we blame?
Headline top of page 8, Aug. 25, this print: Ernst (Sen. Joni) blames Biden for mishandling evacuation (Afghanistan).
In a ‘Grassley works’ fundraising email Chuck writes “…. take back the senate, reverse the damage Joe Biden’s failed leadership has done to our nation.”
Both Iowa senators know Joe well, yet joined the mob and simply certified him for president while ignoring credible accusations of vote fraud.
Note: Chuck and Joe have been in D.C. for so long their hair turned white together.
The media slobbered all over Joe to get him elected even though they have a treasure chest of historic video showing what his capability is, or is not.
And the Democrats, anybody but Trump.
Thousands of ISIS terrorists were released from prison after Bagram Air Base was abandoned Aug. 15 and the Taliban took it over.
Joe partnered with the Taliban to evacuate Afghanistan, and they now tell Joe what he can and can’t do.
He gave the Taliban a list of American citizens and Afghan allies to be granted entry to the Kabul airport.
Aug. 26, 13 U.S. service members, 95 Afghan nationals were killed and hundreds more wounded by an ISIS suicide bombing.
Don’t forget Obama released five Taliban leaders in exchange for deserter Bowe Bergdahl.
The secretary of defense made diversity and CRT training a priority, chairman of the Joint Chiefs said he wanted to learn more about white supremacy.
So Joe did his best and blamed Trump even though there were no U.S. casualties in Afghanistan in the last 18 months of Trump’s presidency.
They’ve all turned on Joe, even VP Kamala Harris, the No. 2 in command returned from a trip and dodged a reporter saying “They will not pin that shit on me.”
Remember: “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”
