Who’s Telling Biden Not to Answer Questions? He woulda been a good president if stuff just stopped happening Jim Treacher

Kanye just dropped an album, war rages in the Middle East, a hurricane is hitting Louisiana, and everybody hates the president.
Welcome to 2005.
Again and again, Joe Biden keeps telling us he’s not supposed to answer questions. “They told me not to answer questions.” “I’m gonna get in trouble if I answer questions.” Over and over, the most powerful man in the free world insists he’s not the one in charge.
He did it again over the weekend:
“I’m not supposed to take any questions, but go ahead… I’m not gonna answer Afghanistan now.”
Why isn’t Joe Biden supposed to take any questions? Who’s telling him not to take questions, and what’s the rationale? (We all know the real reason: He’s an idiot. But his own aides can’t say that.) What happens to him when he disobeys? Is this sort of thing normal for a POTUS to say? Shouldn’t he be the one to decide whether or not he takes questions?
And why don’t any of these reporters want to know? Their whole purpose for being there is to ask the president questions. Shouldn’t they wonder why he’s expressly telling them he’s not “supposed to”?
If my job was to follow the president around and write down what he says, and he told me he’s not supposed to take questions, I would ask why not. Wouldn’t you?
Just kidding. Biden is a Democrat. That sort of self-righteously aggrieved hectoring is reserved for Republicans in power.
In Joe’s defense, he’s a busy guy with a lot going on right now. Just look at how he was able to multitask as he paid his respects to the 13 Marines who died because of his incompetence:
Looks like somebody’s got someplace better to be. Let’s pick it up, people, the ice cream shop isn’t open all day.
Or, as Biden said last Thursday: “I’ve got another meeting, for real.”
Some of the parents of those fallen Marines have some very harsh words for Biden, and I can’t blame them. It remains to be seen whether our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters in the press will blame them. Once upon a time, long, long ago, the families of fallen American servicemen were said to have absolute moral authority in these matters. But back then, the president of the United States wasn’t a Democrat.
And how do you like our new partners in peace, the goddamn Taliban? Who are we teaming up with next, Darth Vader? Lex Luthor? Dracula?
Working with the Taliban — who Biden promised us would not be running Afghanistan, right before he handed them Afghanistan — is already paying off. Last week Biden talked tough about hunting down those other terrorists, and on Saturday came news that the US had killed two ISIS-K “planners.” But no names have been released, which is strange. You’d think they’d want us to know they got those particular terrorists, right?
That’s because the drone strike actually killed an Afghan interpreter and his family of seven children. Looks like the Biden administration really is Obama’s third term.
Now the clock is ticking down our final hours in Afghanistan, and Americans are getting left behind because this stupid old man can’t just admit he screwed it all up. The Pentagon keeps telling us how many Americans have escaped Afghanistan, because they don’t want to tell us how many of us Biden is abandoning. He would rather watch Americans get kidnapped and executed than own up to a mistake.
Joe Biden’s incompetence has already killed more people than climate change.1 How many more Americans have to die violently because of one moron’s pride?
As Noah Rothman puts it: “If you thought Americans were displeased by the way we got out of Afghanistan, wait until you see how they respond to the circumstances that force us to go back.”
As for the people of Afghanistan… good luck.
This would’ve made for a great SNL skit, if all this chaos had been the fault of a Republican.
Everything’s fine, America:
If it looks to you like that 80-year-old man dozed off while the new prime minister of Israel was talking to him, that’s only because you fell for right-wing fake news or something. Who ever heard of an elderly person nodding off in the middle of a conversation and then snapping back awake? It simply never happens. Good work, fact-checkers!2
