As we told you earlier, Joe Biden will deliver some remarks on the situation in Afghanistan before retreating to Delaware in short order. Because leadership.
Apparently we’re supposed to be very impressed by a president who is either unwilling or incapable of doing what he was literally elected to do. That’s why White House comms director Kate Bedingfield is so committed to keeping up the Biden administration’s charade of boldness and competence:

And that, folks, is what we call textbook chutzpah.

Joe Biden’s disastrous interview with George Stephanopoulos is supposed to impress us? Tide us over indefinitely?
Who's the audience for this? In their minds, who is the person who hears this and goes "wow I was worried for a second that Biden was dodging reporters because he's got zero to say on the catastrophe he caused in Afghanistan, but now I understand he'd never do that. Huge relief!" https://t.co/UtRjmgbz5i

Exactly how far gone does one have to be to sit there and tell us not to believe our lying eyes and ears?

“The president never shies away from taking questions”? “He is always willing to take questions”?
They just flat out lie to our faces now. It's hilarious.

This… is the strategy? More lying? https://t.co/YCap1T4OJY

This is perhaps the only possible framing in which Bedingfield’s assertion is not a lie:
No, he avoids them altogether. https://t.co/6kfISAAgeF

If this is the best the White House has to offer, they might as well officially throw in the towel right now.
There is no reason to lie for the President, @WHCommsDir. You should resign too. https://t.co/UMgcNVaNVa
