False.. this was after the ceremony. 

What was after which ceremony?

I haven't looked into it much, because I really don't care, but I did see a video of one of the fathers of the fallen claim that Biden checked his watch after every single fallen soldiers went by. He didn't just check his watch once, AFIAK. I also heard that one of the parents was kicked off of twitter for giving Biden the business, but I also haven't looked into that claim.

Hoover told Hannity that he refused to meet with Biden that day because he didn't want him "anywhere near us." He added: "In reference to the checking of his watch, that didn't happen just once. That happened on every single one that came out of that airplane. It happened on every single one of them. They'd release the salute, and he'd look down at his watch — on all 13 he'd look down at his watch."

So, was the "ceremony" over, or did he literally check his watch in between each and every service member being brought off the plane? 

All things being equal, I'd say it's 50/50 whether the Biden administration lied about him not checking his watch until after the ceremony OR that the dad who (a) was talking to fucking Hannity and (b) opened his commentary by pointing out he refused to meet with Biden and didn't want him anywhere near his family lied about him constantly checking his watch.

I'd also say it doesn't even matter simply because people will believe whichever of those two scenarios most closely align with their personal politics and dismiss the other side as "fake" even if there was a camera pointed at Biden the entire time and that video was released to definitively prove he was or wasn't looking at his watch.

Yeah, I'm in this camp. Either side is going to believe their own spin.

I would only add that trying to think of Biden not caring about grieving families when he lost his own son is pretty dumb.

This is probably accurate.

I read that and my mind went right back to conversations with South Vietnam before the collapse. Biden is telling the Afghan President, hey get your shit in order and use that 300k army. Turns out that 300k army was a shell of itself, just like in Vietnam. The Afghan President did himself no favors here either as he just bolted when the collapse was coming. He seemed to suggest hey things are not great here in that convo, but he himself did not really convey how dire the situation was. Was it because he did not know or was he covering it up? Unclear. 

This sounds pretty dire to me.

GHANI: Mr. President, we are facing a full-scale invasion, composed of Taliban, full Pakistani planning and logistical support, and at least 10-15,000 international terrorists, predominantly Pakistanis thrown into this, so that dimension needs to be taken account of.

And this as well

"Corrections & Clarifications: This story was updated Sept. 2 to note that Biden checked his watch multiple times at the dignified transfer event, including during the ceremony itself," the correction read at the top of the report on Thursday.

He needs to resign, today.

Hard to believe. 

Resign! 

Biden out there blaming weather on climate change again.  It's really too bad there isn't a responsible journalist out there to actually READ the IPCC report and do a little research.  The fearmongering headlines are all based off improbable scenarios run through garbage models - about as close as you can get to the definition of junk science.

Chuck Schumer standing next to him.  Sounds like he's about to orgasm.

Again - tell me how he's different from Trump, mean tweets aside? Obama, Trump and Biden all the same, spend all their time dismissing their critics as "fake news".

POTUS doesn't really do anything any more, just the "Chief Spin Doctor".

"Everybody loves me. I mean that sincerely."
