The silver lining of Biden’s botched Afghan withdrawal

When I see the media become apoplectic over Joe Biden’s bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan, something doesn’t add up. I believe they’ve realized Biden is a sinking ship, and now they are staying far away from him.

While the “Vote Blue No Matter Who” crowd is still praising him for this catastrophe, Biden’s biggest allies — even Angelina Jolie! — are now openly criticizing him. Those still defending him will look to history like stumbling buffoons. To shamelessly protect Joe Biden and his administration shows that progressives, whom I call Regressives, are more concerned with politics than empathy. 

On every side of the political spectrum, the motto was “leave no one behind” in Afghanistan, until this oaf of a leader left Americans in the hands of the Taliban, not to mention the Afghan people. Seeing images of children hanging onto the wheels of an airplane as it was taking off and dropping to their deaths struck the conscience of anybody who cares about humanity. 

It’s unacceptable, watching British and French soldiers risk their lives to rescue our citizens from Afghanistan, while the Biden administration negotiates with Taliban leaders on a withdrawal date. I don’t care that Trump started negotiations with the Taliban — Biden did not have to keep humoring this despotic regime after peace talks between the Taliban and the former Afghan government failed.

Of course everyone was tired of the money wasted in Afghanistan. But after trillions of dollars and 20 years spent, Kabul crumbled in days, despite Biden’s assurances that it would take months if it happened at all. It’s disgusting seeing some in Washington still playing politics when real lives were being sacrificed for political purposes. 

While Biden’s Afghanistan disaster gave Americans a black eye on the world stage, I believe Americans needed this gut punch. Now it is time for Congress to do what is right and file an article of impeachment. 

The left didn’t even like Biden — they would have voted for a potato if it had a chance of defeating Trump. Biden fit the bill, he seemed like America’s grandpa, he ran on healing and taxing the rich. Plus he seemed feeble and old, and could be manipulated to the radical left’s agenda. He told the Leftist base what they wanted to hear: A $15 minimum wage, free community college, and a public option for healthcare.

Americans may finally step back, take a deep breath and assess the destruction we caused because hating Trump was more important to the Left than taking what’s good and improving on it.

What’s happening is no longer comical. Just as this administration pulled out of Afghanistan,  Biden needs to be pulled from the White House. If we continue down this path of policies Americans didn’t want, I wouldn’t be surprised if the American flag over the residence is replaced by the Chinese, ISIS, or Black Lives Matter flag.

This isn’t about Joe Biden, it’s about us. Our laws don’t come from unelected hacks like Dr. Anthony Fauci. We the people pay for this corrupt government, and it’s our duty to never cower or accept weak, feckless leadership. Our government went rogue and it’s time to let politicians know they serve, not rule. 

Time for people to call your senators and members of Congress to start greasing the skids to remove Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Nancy Pelosi from being anywhere near the switch box.
