Biden winning was all set up for Kamala to be sworn in at some point. May just be sooner than expected as you can tell he's not all there and his health seems to be deteriorating.

and he’s a bit of a train wreck when put in front of a microphone.

............................

Compared to the last guy he is pretty safe there.

but if Kamala Harris or Alexandra Occasional Cortex were to step in tomorrow I doubt many would begrudge the change (other than the sexists and the racists)

....................

AOC isn't going to be stepping in anywhere. If the left were going to get into any kind of dominance it would have been through Bernie or Elizabeth Warren.

He was trusted enough by the electorate to get rid of the orange disaster. Both parties need a new direction tbh.

He is a mess and a disaster when giving speeches but compared to Trump lets face it he seen by many as an improvement.

The Afghanistan situation is an embarrassment though

It was Trump that set the wheels in motion. The problem, and it is something the USA has not sorted out for years, is that the intelligence on the ground was well wrong.

Compared to the WORST president ever that preceded him, he can’t really do too much wrong. It would be an incredible effort to try and fack it up as badly as that clown. I caught some jordan Klepper vs trump supporter buys the other day, made me chuckle.

Joe Biden is like the Ole of politics—a seemingly nice guy who replaced a toxic one, but isn't really the best person for the job.

Just started watching some of this...jeezus. When they asked why Obama wasn't in the oval office during 9/11

Can't really say i know enough about American politics to form a well informed opinion. All I will say is that the main reason he was voted in was clearly 1because his name is not Donald Trump - I suspect Bubbles the chimp would also have won that election for the same reason.

As I said I don't really know the ins and outs of what's going in America, but all the rest of the world really has to judge him on right now is Afghanistan, and despite the wheels being set in motion by Trump he hasn't handled it well

How long has Biden and his team been in office, they could have reviewed and prepared a whole lot better.

You can't prepare for something if your intelligence is wrong. No one thought the Afgan Army would give up and no one for sore the Taliban walking right through the country un opposed.

Yes it has been a mess. It is how the USA gets through the mess that will be the take away.

Not strictly true. I’ve seen many people over the past few months in the media state that by giving a solid withdrawal date that it was obvious the Taliban would make their move and it would be pretty easy to do so. The issue is that Trump started the ball rolling by lessening troop numbers to such a state by now that even if Biden wanted to change his mind it was too late. So it is mainly Trumps fault, what Biden is doing wrong is seemingly doubling down on his view that this process needs to be happening at the speed it is.

Thoughts on Biden? What a disaster...has just not suitable to be president, is he compos mentis??

It isn't embarrassing to me, so, no we don't agree.

It is a mess though.

Its not trumps fault at all.

Trump had conditions attached to a withdrawal agreement...biden tore those up hence the debacle of what happening now.

Plus let's not forget..biden as president could have cancelled any withdrawal written by trump

Not Trumps fault at all? 😹 apart from releasing the leader of the Taliban from prison and setting up a peace deal that was doomed to fail. He would have had everyone pull out of Afghanistan before now too so you’re woefully misinformed

I don't follow US politics closely, but if there isn't anyone better, then good luck.

Maybe you have the same problem as here, where there's no proper leadership from the government or its opposition.

People gravitate towards leadership. If this isn't provided by those in charge, they'll look elsewhere—which is what we've seen by the increase in following crazy movements.

In all that you have written you have completely ignored "withdrawal with conditions"...which is the most crucial aspect.

You need to go and do some homework before writing.
