GRADUALLY, the Americans are realising that they have elected a weak, self-serving idiot to be their President.
You have to say, it’s taken them long enough to realise.
So desperate were the media and luvvies to get rid of Donald Trump they latched upon a semi-senile, perpetually dozing dork to replace him.
The signs were all there long before he was elected. At times he couldn’t remember the names of his own family.
He seemed to nod off in the middle of speeches. And there were the occasional snippets of racism.
Such as suggesting a black person couldn’t be a conservative.
The USA was right to leave Afghanistan, sure. Donald Trump himself put that decision in train. But never in the manner that this has been done.
If Trump — whose foreign policy record was pretty good — had failed even half as spectacularly as Biden, the media would be calling for his head.
There is growing evidence that Biden has behaved despicably over the chaos of Afghanistan.
Afghanistan has opened the eyes of the country to the sheer cosmic uselessness of Joe Biden

He seemingly ignored the evidence from his intelligence chiefs that the Taliban would take over the country very quickly once the US left.
He simply didn’t want to hear it.
Worse still, telephone transcripts suggest that he instructed the Afghan president Ashraf Ghani to “alter the perception” that the Taliban were winning their fight.
In other words, to lie. To tell the folks that the Taliban weren’t winning.
That is the sort of stuff worthy of impeachment.
Left behind in Afghanistan are still thousands of Americans and Afghans — and Brits — who worked for the USA-imposed regime.
They now face reprisals from the savages who have taken over the country.
You would have to be mentally ill, or out of your box on hallucinogenic drugs, to think that what has happened in Afghanistan is anything short of a disaster.
Biden has presided over the greatest American humiliation since Vietnam and possibly before.
The Chinese, the Russians and the nutters in the militant Islamic world are laughing their heads off.
Millions of Americans are now kicking themselves, wondering why they voted for this gormless wazzock

He has infuriated his allies — us Brits, but also the other European countries who contributed to the occupation of Afghanistan.
Millions of Americans are now kicking themselves, wondering why they voted for this gormless wazzock.
They did so because the media — virtually all of it — told them they had to.
The outgoing President was even banned from Twitter and Facebook, so single-minded was the liberal establishment in getting rid of Trump.
Coarse and grotesque though he was at times, Trump was ten times better as a president than Joe Biden.
The liberal establishment saddled the USA with Biden as President.
Through an election which was astonishing and, frankly, utterly undemocratic in its treatment of the two candidates.
Hmmmnnn… there’s wisdom behind the pullback of US army. US can’t stay in that country forever imposing themselves as it were. Tactical reasoning suggests that at times, you may have to beat a retreat for a relaunch.
America before now has been criticized for their involvement in Afghanistan war. Now that they feel they still need them around, then they can renegotiate the rule of engagement.
