Is this the point of no return for President Joe Biden?

Jimmy Carter: The Iran hostage crisis. George H.W. Bush: "Read my lips, no new taxes." Bill Clinton: I mean, do I even have to say it? George W. Bush: Hurricane Katrina. Donald Trump: COVID-19.

And for Joe Biden, his downward descent comes this week amid the chaos in Kabul, a result of his decision to pull U.S forces out of Afghanistan without this thing called a plan.

The president’s handlers know what you already know, what the Chinese and Russians and Taliban already know.

So can the 46th President turn this around? Or has a permanent impression been made that he may not be the right man for a job he barely shows up for?
