Character

At some point should the citizens of a country of be able to sit down and consider whether or not their leader has character. Here I am assuming that character is important in a leader. When the leader of a country says X, should it’s citizens be able to rightfully assume that, indeed, X is true. Certainly leaders have been known to stretch the truth, or have a difference of opinion, but to me that is not the same as lying … lying is saying X when you know that X is false.

I know, I know, that questions about character should have been brought out into the open before an election. However the issues concerning J.B. were there, but our media refused to inform us Americans that our President could well have some serious character flaws.

From the Washington Examiner:

“President Joe Biden denied the firsthand accounts made by multiple U.S. military leaders who were in Afghanistan during the final days of the mission back in August.

The president told NBC’s Lester Holt he’s “rejecting” the accounts given by military leaders who pointed blame at the administration for costly foot-dragging in the botched withdrawal. Thirteen service members were killed and hundreds of Americans were left behind in the chaotic emergency evacuation after the Taliban’s recapture of the war-torn country following the U.S.’s 20-year occupation.

‘No. No. That’s not what I was told,’ Biden told Holt when pressed on whether the claims were accurate, adding, ‘Yes, I am. I’m rejecting them.’”

To me, here we have a real problem that is difficult to figure out as what the military is saying and what Biden said to Lester Holt do not jive with each other. There are limited explanations : 

Perhaps all of the military quoted in the article are lying. … Unlikely!

Perhaps Biden’s advisers did not tell him that the military were against his approach. … Scary!

Perhaps Joe Biden has forgotten what transpired with the decision making. … Scary, but believable!

Perhaps Joe Biden is lying. … More scary, but more believable! 

Why do I say that? … because we know about his character!
