Lanny Davis, a public affairs expert who served under President Bill Clinton told Newsweek that President Joe Biden 'followed the first rule of crisis management, which is: take responsibility and don't deflect.'

Of the massive uptick in mentions, 64.7 percent—nearly two-thirds—mentioned Biden, establishing an obvious link to his presidency and handling of the situation.

The events and the conversations around them also likely had an influence on a sharp decline in Biden's approval rating. A survey published Friday by Gallup placed Biden's approval at 49 percent, the lowest of his career and below the historical average of 53 percent. While the legislator predicted"there's going to be a lot of individual pain and serious consequences for individuals" and that"this will be seen, some ways as messy," he said,"the bigger story going forward is what rather than the Taliban government will be."A U.S.

And she appeared to largely agree with the president's take that blunders were inevitable in pulling out of Afghanistan, and that larger catastrophe would have been staying, a decision that would have defied the peace deal signed under Trump in February of last year and sparked a violent Taliban response, opening yet another bloody chapter in the war.

And, in the broader picture, the U.S. public appears to agree on leaving Afghanistan. A survey published Friday by Concerned Veterans for America that showed six out of 10 in the U.S. support the decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, as opposite to only 22% who felt they should stay. "The images from Afghanistan this past week were disheartening and rightly aroused our sympathies," Will Ruger, vice president at the Charles Koch Institute and Trump's choice for U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, told Newsweek."And like with the iconic images of Saigon, we will not soon forget some of those pictures from the Kabul airport."

The other guy has never learned how to do that.

Yes, thanks to the 300,000 COWARDS, that left women & girls vulnerable to the Taliban. AFGHAN President & Gov't leaders deserted the AFGHAN people, not the USA. Our POTUS doing a great job under war losing conditions because of AFGHAN Cowards. Trump's Treaty is GARBAGE! MSNBC

President Biden had the cahonas [or cojones] to do what others wouldn't, end a forever war.

Rifles, Humvees and millions of rounds of ammo: Taliban celebrate their new American arsenal —. CNN. President Biden you have utterly failed America and the Afghan people.

It’s a shame that the GOP has not shown any patriotism during the withdraw from Afghanistan. Not one has worked with the President to help get Americans out of Afghanistan. I guess that’s to be expected from the insurrectionist killing their own supporters with Covid

N he’s doin great !

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

I don’t think he took responsibility for what happened

Really? He didn’t deflect? He spent half his time pointing his finger at everyone besides himself. He’s confused and needs to go.

That doesn't change the fact that it was and remains a horrific nightmare.

😁😁😁😁😁

atensnut Is this the same Lanny Davis that advised the Clinton's to deny, deflect and defame his victims?

What is Lanny Davis smoking? Deflection & finger pointing is all SloMo Joe has done.

Managing your alternate reality must be difficult.

'tough week' thats putting it a little mildly.

Covid19 origin perception of Chinese citizens. The Weibo poll result Feb, 27 2020: 51% of the 10000 people who answered were convinced it was an “artificial virus which escaped by negligence ”, 24% believed that it was spread maliciously. Only 12% thought it was of natural origin

That was four days ago, five days ago.

Biden stays on message in spite of flak from all sides.

joe biden ' i take zero responsibility' ...fake news beyond fake news...

Joe Biden needs to go on national TV in prime time and explain in clear terms why he killed the investigation into the origins of covid-19. And US should offer $50m to anyone who can provide the information regarding the true origin of the virus immediately.

President Biden Had to Get U.S. Out of Afghanistan But Execution Was Poor, Congresswoman SaysPresident Biden did right by getting the U.S. out of Afghanistan but Congresswoman Barbara Lee says the execution was 'horrible.' The fake Taliban playing dress-up now are actually Western troops who faked their deaths. They will stay and make sure that the Afghan people physically twist their sons' heads--so they will be pliant catamites. Maybe she can call exPres to come back with the $$$ and honor the agreement he made

Biden Admits No Errors on AfghanistanIn his first interview since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, President Biden was thoroughly defiant about his decision to pull all U.S. troops, and did not admit error in any aspect of the shambolic operation Shambolic? Bye ' and did not admit error in any aspect of the shambolic operation' Positively Trumpian. These are haunting echoes of a rightfully defamed individual who lost power not too long ago.
