Joe Biden Remains Hiding at Camp David After Afghanistan Collapses
President Joe Biden will remain hidden at his presidential retreat at Camp David through Monday, according to the White House, as the Taliban swiftly seized control of Afghanistan.
The president’s daily guidance for Monday indicated Biden would remain at Camp David for at least one more day, with no public events scheduled.
But a senior administration official indicated to reporters Sunday evening that Biden might address the country “in the next few days,” according to reports.
It remains unclear whether Biden will speak from Camp David or return to the White House to deliver his speech, the reports noted. He was previously scheduled to remain at Camp David until Wednesday.
Biden has not spoken publicly on Afghanistan since Tuesday after expressing optimism that the leaders of the Afghan government would rally to defend their country.
“I think they’re beginning to realize they’ve got to come together politically at the top,” he said, referring to the leaders of Afghanistan.
Biden told reporters Tuesday he did not regret his decisions on Afghanistan, leaving the following day for the rest of his August vacation in Delaware before he shifted his vacation to Camp David on Friday.
From Camp David, Biden has monitored the crisis as the White House released photographs of the president speaking to aides remotely on social media.
The buffoonery of this President has reached dangerously lethal levels and the the embarrassment he has brought to this country in view of the entire world is beyond reproach and it is time for this dysfunctional President to RESIGN RIGHT NOW !!!!!

Etc etc etc. In the meantime the last 3 months have seen record Job growth, though August was down as the Delta Variant depressed the hospitality industry.
Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for 720,000 new hires.
The unemployment rate dropped to 5.2% from 5.4%, in line with estimates.
August’s total — the worst since January — comes with heightened fears of the pandemic and the impact that rising Covid cases could have on what has been a mostly robust recovery. The weak report could cloud policy for the Federal Reserve, which is weighing whether to pull back on some of the massive stimulus it has been adding since the outbreak in early 2020.
....
Still, the news wasn’t all bad for jobs.
The previous two months saw substantial upward revisions, with July’s total now at 1.053 million, up from the original estimate of 943,000, while June was bumped up to 962,000 from 938,000. For the two months, revisions added 134,000 to the initial counts.
Also, wages continued to accelerate, rising 4.3% on a year-over-year basis and 0.6% on a monthly basis. Estimates had been for 4% and 0.3% respectively.
An alterative measure of unemployment that includes discouraged workers and those holding part-time jobs for economic reasons fell sharply, dropping to 8.9% in August from 9.6% in July.
Biden also checked his watch during the final Presidential debate. Did you scream about it then?
Also, for such an expert on Biden, you got the occasion wrong. That photo was not from when he was meeting families.
Dam straight.
and for the D&D nerd Cueball. A little help for ya.
How very strange Mitch can change his mind about impeachments in months . Could be because Trump broke the lore , exposing that Americans were to get very little of the covid care package and it was mongrels like Mitch were to bank the benefits . Struck to the very heart of the US government . Fox had a clip that I watched , they withdrew it , poof , gone burger , gone from my watch history as well . Not the usual notice that the clip was taken down by poster , blank never existed .
