With a title that was something like, "Biden blames Trump and Afghans, says buck stops with him".

Made me absolutely livid. The self-serious media wants Biden to take the full blame for a catastrophe that was result of 20+ years' worth of decisions from Democratic AND Republican presidents. It would have taken them almost NO effort to dig up news reports and articles on Trump's deals with the Taliban.

I don't know what they wanted Biden to do...genuflect on live TV? Resign? This title is not an example of responsible journalism, so what IS the point of it if not to take Biden down a peg because they can?

I'm actually in a state of despair. Now I understand why the job of POTUS is the loneliest in the world.

Joe proved his compassion to me long ago; now we are seeing someone with backbone. The commentary is absurd.
