Chuck Todd IS an idiot.

Paraphrasing Chuckie Jeez: Joe Biden has lost the competency. It's tough to get back.

I have been reading up on Afghan history from people who actually know the country, including veterans. The impression I'm getting is that THIS is the best we were ever going to do. These people do not have a history of following one leader of the entire country. They have a history of following their tribes and Imams. Even in 20 years the soldiers we were training did not stay on the job, for a number of reasons.

It really is time to get Chuck Todd out of MSNBC. He is a newsman, and should be more up on the details than anyone else. Instead, it seems like he has his ear to the wall of conservative rooms. I may just have to stick to 4-5 favorite on the station.

8. You call him a "newsman"?

I call him a failed, third-rate campaign manager who stumbled into a plum job on NBC. He's been in over his head for a long time and it's really time for him to leave.

21. I agree, who is keeping him there?

Why would they keep him on when it is obvious their audience does not like him?

9. Chuck Todd is "The Loud Guy" at the sports bar

He always tries to come off like some kind of esteemed authority, but whenever he speaks all I hear is, "Hey buddy how about those Yankee's? Is that a pickle in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?"

He is a pathetic, Highly Paid, worm.

14. The media has its trip wire to make the horse race look closer

Not counting chickens here but everyone knows that if Joe gets the whole Infrastructure and budget bills through he will have a legacy that will be tough to beat. I personally don’t think he’s running again but if he does he will have a very strong effort to run on. The juxtapositions of W then Obama then Trump and now Biden is too plainly evident for the public not to see.

There isn't any other way someone so mediocre could have been this successful without merit. He has very average intellect and limited critical thinking skills.

He remains a profound corporate wanker of scant useful insight.

18. In no way, shape or form is Chuck Todd a "newsman."

Never has been, never will be. He shit all over Democrats during the 2016 campaign, and he's just gone downhill from there. MSNBC needs to fire him, today. Then they can deal with lesser incompetents like Ari "Don't make me choose between rap music and my law degree" Melber.

19. In a sane world, Chuck would only be responsible for obituaries

in some godforesaken Dumbfuckistan, Murika shithole

"Gertrude Alflin, 86, passed away peacefully in her sleep. Some say she was a woman of tremendous faith, attending church every morning. Others say that she was really a cruel woman who hated her family. Reports are that she became more of a homebody when the love of her life, Bernard, passed away several years ago, although some have questioned her whereabouts at the time of his death. In lieu of flowers, the family have asked that you play a Bingo Card in her honor at the Tuesday Afternoon VFW Post Bingo Game, but some people say that this would only encourage gambling.

She'll be laid to rest at Shady Grove Cemetery and Drive-Thru on Monday, although some have said it will be Wednesday."

"Back to you Andrea..."
