7. So Is McCarthy Going To Take Credit For Biden Coming Out & Addressing The Nation?....

This was an easy one for McCarthy to call. Biden is out there in front of the Nation every couple of days. I don't remember a President that was this visible and informative in my lifetime.

So it was easy for McCarthy to say Biden should address the Nation. He knew that Biden was going to do it anyway - so he might as well get out their first and make it look like it was his suggestion that will bring Biden out today to discuss Afghanistan with the American People.

He did this as the Repugs and Right Wing media companies are wiping clean their websites of any reference as to what Tr**p and Pompeo were touting when they met with the Taliban and how the media gave them coverage that made them look like the best thing since sliced bread.

These people are hypocrites - just looking to pounce on anything that will give them an excuse to blame Biden and make him look bad.

I for one appreciate President Biden's candid and informative speeches that he provides us almost on a day to day basis.

Over Afghan women and children that will be raped, tortured, suppressed and killed, while the refugees at our border ate women and children fleeing rape, torture, suppression and death. For them, McCathey et al steal their children, lock em in cages and send the right back to the drug financed lunitics in charge of the country. And in both instances, we have blame. So my guess is McCarthys new found humanitarian itch will have him get right on a passionate immigration policy.

That said, you made an apt comparison between the Afghani women and children to the Central American refugees.

To the McCarthy itch. They give no shits for Muslim women and children, less than Latino ones. The only itch McCathey has is that Trump rash his has that needs scratched by the minute.

McCarthy and his Trumpanzees will play the political game about humanitarianism in public, and rub themselves blind about the suffering of others behind closed doors.

about that clip embedded with the tweet?

Hundreds of young Afghani men running alongside an American aircraft.

Why the hell aren't they fighting for the freedom they so reportedly desire? Why aren't they fighting the Taliban to keep their country free and democratic?

"We are not about to send American boys 9 or 10 thousand miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves ".

McCarthy is a follower, not a leader.
