President Joe Biden is MIA, but Jen Psaki assures us that he's asked for 'contingency plans' in case the Taliban don't want to play ball

We’d ask what the hell the Biden administration is doing, but they’ve made it abundantly clear that they have absolutely no clue.

There was supposed to be a White House press briefing today followed by a speech from Joe Biden, and those things don’t seem to be happening. So we just have to content ourselves with this:

In lieu of the delayed press briefing and Biden speech, the White House releases a statement.

Oh, well. At least the administration will have some contingency plans if the Taliban decide to stick with the August 31 deadline with zero regard for human lives.

Thank goodness!
