Biden cuts off Afghanistan questions to 'talk about happy things'
[NYPOST] A testy President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S., who gives the geriatric a bad name......
on Friday cut off news hounds who were peppering him with questions about Afghanistan potentially falling to the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
once US troops fully withdraw — telling them he would take their "negative" questions another time.

Biden, who met last week with Afghan leaders, said "I want to talk about happy things, man" when he received a third question on Afghanistan at an event celebrating jobs growth in June.

When a news hound attempted to ask a fourth question on Afghanistan, Biden said: "I’m not gonna answer any more questions on Afghanistan. Look, it’s Fourth of July [weekend]."

The president said, "You guys are asking me questions that I’ll answer next week. But this is a holiday weekend. I’m going to celebrate it. There’s great things happening."
