    If you actually watched the presser, you would know that this wasn't empathy at all. It was a frustrated reaction to the FoxNews reporter's legitimate question.

    Nixon was impeached and resign not to mention he legitimized the CCP and setup the current debacle we are now dealing with...o_O

    Trump was impeached twice not to mention he legitimized the Kim dictatorship AND negotiated with the Taliban in which he received nothing for without the Afghan government even being there. o_O

    Biden has 4 years of piled up manure to deal with, hopefully we can cross this off the shitlist sooner than later.

    You sound stupid using the retrumplican monikor to describe the 74% of America who thought YESTERDAY that Biden screwed the pooch with his execution plan to leave Afgnanistan. I wonder what that number is today. Are you waiting until ALL the Bidiots admit old Joe was a complete disaster. The dude has been showing signs of mental degradation for a couple of years now. He had a better plan to take on Corn Pop than this.

    You're projecting.

    Too, the mental degradation spiel is a lie. You either know it, and you're despicable for promulgating it, or you've been fooled. Go back and watch the presidential debates in their entirety. Pay attention to the fact that Biden stayed afterwards taking questions from every audience member who remained. Listen to the complexity, the nuance, of his responses. Understand the years of attentive experience and thought from which his positions have developed. Watch the entirety of today's address. There is no degradation. Watching the man speak, respond to questions, for any length of time and the falsity of your lie is proven.

    Do you have videos of entire speeches or other interactions unedited without commentary? Or do you only have videos of clips with partisan commentary?

    Basically I'm asking do you have video of speeches without commentary that tell you what to think?

    Yes. I'm serious. Because, as fchowd discusses, I watch the actual event from start to finish. You're willfully, eagerly, swallowing hook, line, and sinker an edited form showing only pieces the propagandist wants you to see and believing exactly the falsities they want you to believe in conclusion.

    Again, context. The context of your example is edited snippets here and there. A valid context is to watch the entire event.

    You are either knowingly promoting a Psy-Op lie, or you've been brainwashed by Psy-Ops.

    It's a freaking shame how some glorify this.... And on top of that most who do it have never served, but continue to act as if they have..

    People mostly gave Bush a pass for 9/11 though in todays era, he'd probably be getting death threats by both hillbillies and online activists.

    Or maybe it would've been better like that since we obviously gave too much power to a moron and his war mongering, friend shootin #2.

    What? This is not an edited clip to be used in the context of whomever choses. This is a snippet of an actual brain fart from your Biden.... He does this all the time, this is not a one time thing.... There are hundred of these, this man uses a teleprompter and still f's up.. This man still can't take hard questions and when there is a slightly challenging one he walks away... Imagine if the media treated him the way they treated Trump..

    Look, if both of you want to believe Biden is a ok in the head, that's fine. You can chose what to believe but don't dismiss clear and unedited clips that shows how weak and stupid Biden is...

    FWIW, there cannot be comprehensive understanding of the situation in Afghanistan without taking into consideration:

    • the history of the region--where empires go to die
    • that the population is a number of distinct tribes that never have found unity
    • the involvement of global organized crime in the trade of opium that comes from Afghan poppy fields
    • the mineral wealth underlying Afghanistan
    • the interest and manipulations of China
    • the interest and manipulations of Russia
    • the impact of various conflicting interpretations of Islam among the people and among neighboring nations that want to extend influence
    and these are only factors that spring immediately to mind. There was briefly, arguably, justification to act there, but once bin Laden was rousted and the Taliban made to pay for harboring him, there has been no rational justification to be there. We are not wanted. Our values are not welcome.

    I just watched the entire presser. He engaged at length with the "opposition reporter". This was a moment of frustration due to the reporter refusing to acknowledge the reason why US military personnel were not killed in the last several months of Trump's term. The point was actually pretty relevant to the question the reporter was asking, but it was inconvenient to the framing that the reporter was going for.

    And the thing that made it worse was that trump addressed the media everytime like a man knowing they hated his guts. Jim Acosta made a fool of himself over in north korea when trump had a historic meeting kim jun un. Its like night and day the news coverage and biden is still looking terrible, imagine if big tech wasnt censoring content creators and allowed them to actually report the dumb **** he and his son do on the regular

    If you can watch that and not realize that his stutters (and Biden has dealt with stuttering his whole life. Stuttering has nothing to do with mental acuity.) have been extended through editing, then you lack perception. Where Biden is speaking at all there is a 37 second stretch, edited heavily, with the stuttering extended.

    I have watched the man speak on many occasions, in many venues, for extended lengths of time, and he has never exhibited that kind of behavior. You cannot put your 37 second deepfake against my seeing him for hours at a stretch and suggest it is my observational experience that is wrong. Honestly, I'm embarrassed for you to be taken in by that sorry piece of editing.

    Further, your source is SkyNews, which is a disreputable Rupert Murdoch tele-rag. It carries zero credence.
