“After the remains of the final fallen soldier had been transferred from a military plane, and after the vehicles carrying the caskets had departed the area, U.S. President Joe Biden appeared to glance down at his watch.” Also never took his hand from his heart.
“Right-wing pundits form task force to take on the Taliban. Taking all volunteers that are concerned about the people of Afghanistan. Bring your AR-15s and any other weapons you have. Training will be provided in flight. Financed by “billionaire” Donald Trump."
Afghanistan wasn’t/isn’t our problem, 20 years ago, 10 years ago or now.
The full video of the dignified transfer ceremony shows Biden honored each of the fallen U.S. service members. He appeared to check his watch after the ceremony ended.
On Sunday, Biden met with service members’ families and attended his first dignified transfer as president. Footage from the 45-minute ceremony shows Biden bowing his head and placing his hand over his heart as 11 caskets are carried off a plane and into gray vans. Two other transfers were conducted in private.
More lies. A check of the video, you know the visual record, shows that Pres.Biden didn’t check his watch until after he and the first lady gave honor to the fallen soldiers. And I doubt that at any time did he wish he were somewhere else.
Cuomo, Biden, Pelosi, Schumer They don`t care about dead Americans. All they care about is getting re-elected and political power. They think when they poop it smells like chocolate chip cookies. I can smell them. The stench is terrible.
What’s wrong with looking at your watch? It did not happen that way, you dam republicans jump on any little thing you can invent like a bunch of hungry lions, never will I ever vote for another one of you!

For Biden, he did appear to check his watch during his visit to Dover Air Force Base. But he did so after the dignified transfer ceremony was over.
Footage leading up to the moment shows Biden with his hand over his heart for about 30 seconds as vans carry the service members’ remains off the tarmac. After the vans had left, Biden closes his eyes briefly before dropping his arms and glancing down at his watch.
Any sane person who knows anything about Joe Biden would recognize that this RW nonsense about disrespect for the fallen is way past ridiculous.
Over 2,448 killed, 30,000 suicides, and don’t forget the wounded or the people in Afghanistan killed or wounded and you’re worried about him glancing at his watch?
Hey Kelley, get off of that damned soapbox of yours and watch the entire C-Span video. Oh, never mind, the vid is more than 10 seconds long and your attention span is good for only 5 seconds. Stop with the lies.
This didn’t happen. Y’all blowing this out of proportion. Yeah he looked at his watch while taking verbal abuse from a family member and that was wrong. But to suggest he didn’t want to be there to pay respects to fallen American Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen is down right false and insulting.
What selective outrage from Kelley! Of course, he has repeatedly shown his outrage over the hundreds of thousands of Americans who died prematurely from COVID-19 because of the incompetence of the Liar-in-Chief!
I can’t recall, but did Trump ever personally attend the arrival of dead US servicemen from Iraq or Afghanistan? If so (and I doubt it), he must have been thinking that he’d rather be playing golf. Which was his attitude toward governing for 4 years.

Hey SKELLEY, if this was Trump, he’d be on the links golfing. He would never waste his time receiving the remains of fallen servicemen.

President Biden, his wife, the Generals received their bodies with the respect and honor they deserve.
Sadly, the Republicans repeatedly show their lack of respect for the people that serve in the US Military.

It was trump’s agreement with the taliban. Biden was completing it. A crap show for sure but not sure how Republicans feel the right to criticize.

I guess republicans get some much glee being at funerals that they don’t look at their watches. They want it to go on forever.
