I’m confused as to where you think he’s supposed to be. Is he supposed to be wearing his aviators flying a chopper rescuing people?

 

What is this narrative you’re chasing? I haven’t watched any news so you will have to fill me in.

 

 

 

well hopefully it isn't this narrative.


"I don’t care what the fallout is. It had to happen and I congratulate Joe."

 

damn dude, people are fleeing for there lives right now.

But didn’t we just send soldiers back to get them? Someone wake me up if that mission fails.

Biden knows that 2 years from now no one is going to care about any of this. Sure, it was stupid plan by Trump, a poison pill, but it still had to be done, and the majority of voters support the decision. Independents are pretty happy right now.
 

Trump set the timeline to when he’d already be gone. That’s a total wuss move. Biden stepped up and got it done anyway and knew it had to be done early in his term, or not at all, politically.

That's why he did it.  It doesn't mean it was the right thing to do.  Keeping a small military presence in Afghanistan was the best option of the list of bad options.  Only 66 soldiers have died in action since 2014 (less than one per month) so spare me the countless lives being lost rhetoric.  This didn't have to happen and I pray for the citizens of Afghanistan.

Imagine being Mike Pompeo, thinking that people would actually want you to run for president. These people are nuts. He’s been groomed his entire life for that job but it’s never going to happen. These people just don’t know when to quit.

Reports of 5 people dead at the airport so far. 
 

Americans stuck behind Taliban checkpoints, unable to get to the US perimeter at the airport. 
 

Multitudes of people who worked with us, now marked for death, and left behind, awaiting hopeful emergency evacuation to bring tens of thousands to military bases in Texas and Wisconsin.  
 

Videos of absolute mayhem all over Twitter.  
 

Afghans so desperate they are hanging onto cargo jets as they take off and falling to their death.  
 

World leaders around the globe questioning America. 
 

Our President, nor the VP, can even find it within themselves to speak to the American people?

 

Press Secretary has an auto-reply that she’s suddenly on vacation from the 15th-22nd.  
 

Who is running this country!?

This is a tactic to divert the public's attention from the preventable disaster that's unfolding in Afghanistan right now.

 

It appears to be working with Biden's shrinking base; I can't imagine anyone else falling for it.


Shrinking base????

His polling has already started dropping below 50%, and that’s with most of the media protecting him for his first months in office on issues like the border, crime and inflation.  
 

Even the media can’t save him from what’s transpiring right now.

Now why would the RNC do a thing like this:

 

 

And Trump’s historic Middle East peace agreement was nothing more than a joke.

 

 

What's your point?  This doesn't even remotely resemble the unconditional surrender deal the Biden administration has executed with the Taliban.  A complete and total disaster and a national embarrassment.  You're just proving the current administration owns this withdrawal mess.  And trying to deflect "blame" to Trump here is like throwing a rubber ball against a brick wall.  Ain't gonna stick.

Can you imagine this? Within a few short months the Biden Administration has actively and recklessly reversed course on just about every Trump Administration policy (just to purposefully be anti-Trump) and after it all turns to crap they have the balls to blame the previous regime? Stunning! The Biden Team’s actions are not acts of OMISSION. These are all acts of COMMISSION! This country has become an utter farce.

Remember the timeline. I’ll add the politics to it.

 

Bush starts war in Afghanistan.

 

Bush then gets bored with war in Afghanistan because there’s no clear enemy and no clear leader of the enemy.

 

Bush then attacks Iraq.

 

Obama runs on leaving Iraq.

 

Obama then uses Afghanistan as the reason for leaving Iraq.

 

Obama leaves Iraq.

 

Trump runs on leaving Afghanistan.

 

Trump doesn’t follow through and kicks the can down the road with one foot out the door to the next president.

 

Biden mans up and leaves Afghanistan and takes the political hit.


I don’t care what the fallout is. It had to happen and I congratulate Joe.

 

Now, if we sent 100k troops back there to try to fix it and they’re still there 2 years from now, I’ll gladly join you in your witch-hunt, but that hasn’t happened yet.

 

 

 


You’re pretty much the only person that feels this way.  Even the Biden/Dem/Liberal boot licker CNN is saying “what a mess!”

So much for US intelligence and military planning, unless they wanted Biden to look really bad on purpose.

 

In a normal society this would result in a *****load of resignations.

 

I have my doubts, to say the least.

At least people now understand what an armed insurrection really looks like.
