Kabul Marine widow meets Biden, is unimpressed

| August 30, 2021

Lance Corporal Rylee McCollum

The pregnant widow of Lance Corporal Rylee McCollum, one of the 13 US servicemembers killed in the terrorist attack at the Kabul airport last week, is said to have met with President Biden when her husband’s remains arrived at Dover Air Force Base. Other members of Rylee’s family declined to meet with the President, rightfully in my mind, since they blame him personally for the loss of their brother, son, and Marine. Once the widow met with Biden she said it was hollow, tone deaf, and he wouldn’t shut up about his deceased son Beau (a veteran who died from a non-service connected brain tumor six years ago).

Fox News reports;

The family of one of the Marines killed in Afghanistan last week slammed President Biden’s meeting with the Marine’s pregnant widow as scripted and a “total disregard” to the service member’s death.

Biden traveled to Dover, Delaware, on Sunday to attend the dignified transfer of the 13 service members killed in Kabul’s suicide bombings last week and meet with their families.

Jiennah McCollum, the pregnant wife of Marine Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum, alongside the fallen Marine’s father and sisters, were scheduled to meet with the president, but only Jiennah ended up speaking with Biden.

Roice McCollum, one of the late corporal’s sisters, told the Washington Post on Sunday that she, her sister and her father all refused to meet with Biden because they held him responsible for their fallen Marine’s death.

Jiennah’s meeting with Biden did not go over well, though, with Roice saying the pregnant widow was frustrated after briefly speaking with the president.

Roice said the family felt the president’s conversation with Jiennah was hollow and lacking meaning, and said Biden appeared to show a “total disregard to the loss of our Marine.”

According to Roice’s account to the Post, Biden spoke about the service of his veteran son, Beau Biden, and his death from brain cancer — a topic Biden also brought up while both addressing the nation after the deadly Kabul suicide bombing and speaking with the new prime minister of Israel.

“You can’t f— up as bad as he did and say you’re sorry,” Roice said in regards to Biden. “This did not need to happen, and every life is on his hands.”

Paula Knauss of Clearwater, Florida, the mother of 23-year-old Army Staff Sgt. Ryan Knauss, said she was heartbroken over the loss of her son and eviscerated Biden’s “hasty withdrawal after 20 years of war.”

“You can’t have a hasty withdrawal after 20 years of war,” she said. “Because it’s beyond me.”

“It disgraces the name of all those who have fought in the past and who are now on ground, foreign ground fighting right now, my son’s [82nd] Airborne is still there, and they deserve to be protected,” Knauss continued.

The White House did not respond to Fox News’ request for comment.

Walkaway Biden also did this..

“Biden Ripped For Apparently Glancing At Watch During Ceremony For Fallen Troops”

https://nypost.com/2021/08/30/biden-ripped-for-apparently-looking-at-watch-at-troops-ceremony/

“President Biden has come under fire for apparently glancing at his watch during a solemn ceremony at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware for the 13 US troops killed in the terror attack near the Kabul airport.”

“During the event, he placed his right hand to his chest as the flag-draped coffins were carried off the Air Force C-17 Globemaster plane.”

“But at one point, the commander-in-chief appeared to cast a furtive glance at his watch before putting his arms behind his back, prompting criticisms from veterans, Republican politicians and conservative commentators.”

He just wanted to make sure that he and Doctor Jill could still catch The Blue Plate Special at The Golden Corral.

He was just checking the time to make sure he didn’t miss “Matlock”. Dumbass has so many handlers to tell him when and where to go that he doesn’t even NEED a watch.

Poetrooper

It’s one of those health monitor watches.

He was checking to see if he still had a pulse…

Rim shot.

Or it could be he was checking how long since that last cocktail of shots they gave him as he needs another one soon. Rumor is they are supposed to last an hour, but with slow joe they’ll be lucky if they get a good 20 minutes…

It’s not a watch..it’s a picture of beau.

Killed by friendly fire too.
Incompetent fire that is…

Radio reported one of the fallen family members said Dementia Joe looked at his watch after each of remains passed by.

UFB…. Gropin’ Joe is one cold-hearted son of a bitch.

Poetrooper

Rumor has it he’d set a hard deadline for the end of the service.

Even if there were some caskets on the plane, and the ceremony wasn’t over by then, he was still gonna pull out and return to DC with his entire presidential entourage loaded aboard the limos and SUV’s.

Hardline Biden, the pull ’em out, prez…

Hack Stone

Barack Obama certainly nailed it when he said Lunchbucket Joe has the ability to duck things up. That must be why he waited almost an entire year between Biden’s announcement to run and Obama’s endorsement.

Retired Grunt

Check out Beau Bidens WIKI. Under the military service section is this quote from his father, the bungler in chief, referring to his sons service. (Oh wait, I’m a retired O, am I under arrest now?) The last line kills me.

His father was on the record as saying, “I don’t want him going. But I tell you what, I don’t want my grandson or my granddaughters going back in 15 years, and so how we leave makes a big difference.”

Wow, now ain’t that something.

Hiden Biden even brought up Beau during his interview with George Stephanopoulos…Check out what Biden said..that part of the interview was NOT aired on ABC..one can understand why considering Beau never served in Afghanistan nor was he in the US Navy:

“STEPHANOPOULOS: I– I think a lot of– a lot of Americans, and a l– even a lot of veterans who served in Afghanistan agree with you on the big, strategic picture. They believe we had to get out. But I wonder how you respond to an Army Special Forces officer, Javier McKay (PH). He did seven tours. He was shot twice. He agrees with you. He says, “We have to cut our losses in Afghanistan.” But he adds, “I just wish we could’ve left with honor.”

“BIDEN: Look, that’s like askin’ my deceased son Beau, who spent six months in Kosovo and a year in Iraq as a Navy captain and then major– I mean, as an Army major. And, you know, I’m sure h– he had regrets comin’ out of Afganista– I mean, out of Iraq.”

1. I am not taking anything away from Beau Biden’s service, but he joined the Guard as a political move just like Buttguy of South Bend.
2. Beau was a JAG lawyer on Camp Victory when I was there, seen him at the chow hall in his clean ACU’s on the regular…never heard a shot in anger, never was in harms way , his biggest decision was the choices on what to eat on any given day.
3. Beau was never around a burn pit….ever, their was an incinerator at cropper many miles away, so this destroys the burn pit brain cancer story..
4. Beau did not serve with honor and distinction as joe claims , he just simply served providing legal services on camp victory, the honor and distinction goes for those who gave their lives, Beau received the ADMIN bronze star , just like ALL the other FOBBIT s at the time….surely wasn’t out kickin in doors, wrasslin IEDs and slayin the HAJ…someone needs to take slow joe aside and tell him how stupid he sounds trying to make a hero out of a FOBBIT…surely not the type of Soldier that gets a post office named after him…REMINDER I am not slamming anyone who served on the support services and salute all that served when they didn’t have too, to to keep portraying Beau Biden as Audie Murphy on national television is just down right sickening!’

^^^^This right fucking here^^^^ Been saying the same thing every time he brings up his tired ass old “My dead son” story. Much like his dead wife and kids story this is his go to whenever he’s in a jam. Yes, it was tragic that his wife and kids died however he couldn’t just use that so he concocted a story of her being the victim of a drunk driver. Now it’s his son died ostensibly due to his service. Another politically expedient lie from a serial liar.

As a JAG officer Beau was a bigger feather merchant than I was.

Forget Beau… I want to hear a preachy Prodigal Son speech about Hunter and how much blow/women he did/does– his keeping coherent and not losing his pants somewhere every other day is dang near a monumental achievement!

Ahh, lawers in a combat theater. About as useless as teats on a boar hog. Never even saw one in a TOC, let alone on a forward support base. But then in my war, we didn’t need approval from an attorney as to whether we could pull a trigger or a lanyard.

All if ’em proudly had a CAB for being 195m from indirect fire impact, too. Wienies.

“Never underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck up.”
—Barry Obama

Say what you will about GW Bush (and there’s plenty to say that’s not nice), but he never displayed such sociopathic disregard for the men and women he sent into harm’s way.

Fuck PedoJoe, and fuck the cheating apparatus that installed his disgusting ass.

I hope his handlers stopped him from sniffing that young woman.

When Biden was swore in as Senator of Delaware in January 1973, he did not do it in DC.

He did it at a Delaware hospital where Beau was recovering from the November 1972 car accident.

And yes…that is Beau in the picture…

The one where Biden falsely accused the truck driver of DUI, and continued doing so for years, despite the investigation proving he wasn’t, until the poor bastard finally took his own life? That car accident?

What a standup guy.

rgr769

Gropey likely recalled from his Torts class in law school that one can’t be successfully sued for slandering and defaming the deceased. The law does not allow damages for defaming the dead, as it is a personal wrong.

As bad as the loss last week of these military members, there are hundreds of American deaths coming shortly. Every one of them is on the hands of these despicable excuses for human beings. May every one of them rot in hell.

We have had national disgraces in the past. This is perhaps the worst one ever. To purposefully turn over thousands of people, US citizens among them, to terrorists is pure evil. There is simply no other way to describe these monsters.

A Proud Infidel®™

Jeezus, how many more times is he going to tap dance on his dead Son’s grave to get points with the press? Beau Biden died in a Stateside hospital likely surrounded by family while those we just lost were killed in an explosion set off by third world fleabag savages in a fleabitten hellhole.

I met Cho Bi Den in 1996 while doing campaign comms…don’t let anyone fool you.

He has always been a dimwitted doofus tottering on the edge of an abyss.

He was put forth as a candidate precisely because he is a dimwit.

He is not president in the way people think of that term. He is just the puppet wheeled out to be the face of the project. A mascot of sorts.

It may be that the real power behind the throne may be even scarier than anyone can conceive.

And I’m betting it is some billionaire who pays for protests, looting, riots, murder, and arson in our cities.

The destroy America caucus is far deeper than Puglosi and Bi Den.

What is truly alarming are the number of people willing to go along with the charade to get their free shit.

Like dummissar.

As the father of a DAV from training and garrison duty with too much more to mention here, I cannot imagine having to listen to that POS following losing your Marine for their stupid incompetence…..
I am afraid I would end up in prison for the rest of my life if I had to deal with that. And I might be a hero to a lot of folks around here…
Godspeed to her Fallen Marine Son and God Bless all those in the family and friends of that brave young man…

This comes as no shock at all. When was the last time a Dem gave a shit about a military life?

Yeah. When they lost the Civil War.

Make no mistake, the Civil War was a war between the Democrats and the Republicans, with a lot of good people caught in between.

It is amazing how the Democrats have managed to distance themselves from a war they provoked with their refusal to end slavery in America.

Well, sure. After all, she is speaking the truth. Can’t have that.

Meanwhile, it’s AOK for terrorists to spew real hate and vitriol. Uh-huh. THAT makes sense.

Remember waaaaaaaaaay back in 2020 when 4 unnamed “senior staffers” supposedly told the Atlantic that Trump called Veterans “Suckers and Losers”? How many weeks upon weeks were we subjected to media stories and reporters breathlessly claiming Trump hated Veterans and disrespected them. Remember the parade of politicians that happened to be Veterans demanding Trump apologize and resign. You had clowns like our local Berkley Commie declaring that it absolutely was true because “Orange Man Bad”. We never did get those names of the anonymous senior staffers did we. But that doesn’t matter because the damage was done. Now we have actual Gold Star families, on record, sharing the complete and utter disdain and disrespect this feckless fuck of a POTUS displayed towards them and we get crickets from all the aforementioned usual suspects.
