    Stop acting like no video = fake news.

    We have accounts from people who where there. That's more than the big ball of nothing you're bringing to the table.

    People who were there > your partisan nonsense.

    It's clear that no matter how wrong you are proven to be, you will try to argue based on some technicality that you weren't wrong. You do it every single time with every single position you take. You do not have the integrity to admit you are wrong regarding anything. I hope everybody else in this thread realizes this and moves on from dealing with you.

    Your claim is fake news, firmly falsified by solid photographic, video, and Gold Star Family testimony. You should probably beg the moderators to take it down and end your humiliation.

    BIDEN’S SHAMELESS EXPLOITATION OF HIS DEAD SON: He pretends he's a Gold Star Father
    It's not appropriate. This entire episode was inappropriate, from his disastrous withdrawal, trapping our forces in a kill box, using Taliban Terrorists as security, leaving Americans behind, stomping all over the Gold Star Parents loss with his own to checking his watch during the dignified transfer.

    The Problem with Our Mourner in Chief.
    It's just one thing after another with this stumbling FU, but now folks are dying.

    As I said before, it's not about the watch.

    It's an allegory of his treatment of Afghanistan. Not just serviceman lives. Lots of people were negatively effected and disrespected by his impatience.

    Do you believe that?

    USA Today fact-checker slammed for playing 'the victim' following botched report on Biden's watch blunder

    The fact-checker behind USA Today's botched report on President Biden's watch blunder is facing an intense backlash as critics accuse him of playing "the victim."

    USA Today was slammed over a "so-called" fact-check on Wednesday declaring accusations of Biden checking his watch during the dignified transfer ceremony in honor of the 13 U.S. service members who were killed in a terrorist attack outside the Kabul airport was "partly false," insisting that it occurred "only after" the ceremony.

    The next day, the paper issued a correction admitting that Biden did check his watch "multiple times" during the ceremony

    but changed its ruling from "partly false" to "missing context."

    So you are just going to be obtuse about it. One of the gold star families said that after the FOURTH time he whispered about it to his sons mother. Remember when the left said Bush41 looking at his watch ONE time during the debate in that not solemn occasion. Why was he so concerned with time instead of the ceremony itself.

    I agree, these families are in a state of grief and anything can set them off, anger and hate can be part of the grieving process, we see this on both side, people are not thinking logically at a time like this, they are in pain, looking for someone to blame, and neither side should use them as political pawns right now

    Biden continues to use his dead son for political reasons. He gets no cover on this.

    it's his son, just like these families, it's their child... both have the right to grieve the way they want to and talk about their children however they want

    it's others using their deaths politically that is the issue

    when in a hole, stop digging. What is sad is that you so badly want to believe that your Democrat vote was best for the country when it wasn't.

    Democrat votes have consequences; never good

    If their "mistakes" didn't go in the exact same direction as their political biases 99% of the time, I might cut these "reporters" a little slack.

    But they don't, so I won't. They're just propagandists, and lying liars.

    Do you think, Biden giving their dead thumb up could have set them off? Perhaps, they somehow misinterpreted his gesture?

    Indeed, during the solemn moment of receiving dead American servicemen' bodies, Biden grieves of his own son... ****ing Commander-in-Chief knows what da **** he's doing!

    I think that arguing with a Fact Checker is probably the quickest way to teach them that their source is just re-branded news media.

    So everyone expressing concern about the rushed exit is conspiring against the president?

    Sounds like a rationalization.

    https://www.businessinsider.com/uk-us-feuding-afghanistan-withdrawal-2021-9?amp

    I was told that this president was supposed to have the temperament and experience necessary to improve our international relations.

    I didn't believe it at the time. Looks like I was right.
