**After this week, can President Biden serve out this YEAR?

[schmidlap]

Americans support a withdrawal from Afghanistan, Colin...but overwhelmingly they think that Joe Biden has botched that withdrawal badly!

Whether that is the case, Biden haters may not be able to pump up and perpetuate the assessment.

... Arguably the most successful war of the last 60 years was the Persian Gulf War during George H.W. Bush's presidency. Bush's performance was rated extremely highly by the American people in 1991. Some pundits at the time went so far to say that Bush reelected himself thanks to the war.​

​

Bush lost reelection in 1992 to Bill Clinton.​

​

On the other end, Ronald Reagan sent American troops to Lebanon in the early 1980s as peacekeepers. Hundreds were killed in a bombing, and Reagan later withdrew the troops. By early 1984, more than 60% of Americans viewed the Reagan policies as a failure in Lebanon.​

Reagan easily won reelection later that year.​

​

The point here is that the American public often has a short memory when it comes to foreign policy endeavors. The recent developments in Afghanistan that have hurt Biden in the polls may still be hurting him come the midterms in 2022 or presidential election in 2024. They could just as easily have no impact at all.​

[Why Americans may ultimately not care about Biden's Afghanistan performance]​

Former Guy railed for years that the United States should withdraw all troops from Afghanistan. When he had four years to actually do what he had incessantly insisted should by done, he invited the Taliban to Camp David for a 9/11 anniversary but, when he was given the boot by the American electorate, he had failed to fulfill his commitment. His failure to withdraw troops did not win him re-election.

Was there ever any realistic hope in the past twenty years that a triumphant U.S. military would eventually exist with a celebratory parade through Kabul? The current outcome is far, far closer to unembellished expectations.

​

Raving, "I coulda done it better!" is vacuous bravado for someone who was given ample opportunity and didn't do it al all.

I don't think they think at all.
They are bitching because Biden did it and looking for any reason to bash him.
Only 12 months ago they didn't give a rat's about Muslims. Now they are feeling sorry for them. They make me vomit with their hypocrisy.

Biden in trouble ? Not so fast Repub traitors
Bank of America told clients in a research note that inflation, currently at 5.4%, is “now inducing stagflation” that could cause a “flash recession” in the fall. Among the problems BofA cited: plummeting auto production, a drop in home sales, growth worries in China, faltering U.S. confidence and the risks of a Federal Reserve policy mistake, such as keeping interest rates too low for too long.

For Biden, this growing list of challenges could break either way. First, Afghanistan. There’s still a lot more that could go wrong, such as a terrorist incident targeting thousands of U.S. troops massed at the Kabul airport or the evacuation flights taking off daily. The repressive Taliban is seeking thousands of Afghans who fought against them for the last 20 years, which means mass executions or other appalling developments could follow.

But Afghanistan could also settle down, at least from an American perspective. Beacon Policy Advisors points out that the Bay of Pigs fiasco in Cuba in 1961 didn’t hurt President Kennedy in the longer term. The fall of Saigon in 1975 didn’t harm President Ford, politically. President Reagan survived the 1983 Beirut bombing that killed 241 sailors and marines. President Carter did suffer from the Iran hostage crisis that began in 1979, losing his reelection bid in 1980. But that’s probably because the standoff lasted for well over a year and made Carter seem ineffectual.

If US troops are fully out of Afghanistan within, say, a month or two, with no further disasters, Biden will recover. Americans generally support the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, and once that’s the final outcome, the chaotic nature of the pullout may matter less. Republicans will undoubtedly remind voters of the Taliban takeover for months to come, but foreign imbroglios matter far less than economic concerns and other domestic issues.

On the economy, there’s some good news sprinkled amid the bad. Weekly jobless claims continue to fall and recently hit the lowest level since the pandemic exploded in 2020. The labor market recovery continues. Economists think employers will add nearly 900,000 new jobs in August, with official details due Sept. 3. If forecasts are correct, that would be a strong pace of hiring indicating many employers remain unfazed by the Covid Delta breakout. It’s possible the latest wave of Delta infections could peak as soon as more people get vaccinated and fewer people are left to infect.

Given the fact that no matter what, the general public blames a President for everything, it sounds like Dementia may be in even more trouble not too far down the road. Raise interest rates and without a doubt you will slow down house growth and car sales not to mention a ton of other things. Then the question is whether the economy is in trouble for lack of demand or lack of labor to produce the things we need since government is paying people more to stay home than work.

My neighbors car broke down, it was the transmission. She was willing to invest the thousands it took to get it repaired, but one of the parts they needed they couldn't get for at least three months. She can't rent a car that long. She had to get rid of it and buy another one.

I wanted some new windows for one of my rental units. I talked with my cousin about it since he's a remodeler. He wished me luck. All his window jobs are eight to twelve weeks delayed because they can't get windows.

The Border Patrol estimates at the rate of border crossers, we will have an additional 2 million third-world people in our country by the end of the year. Who is going to feed them? How many are taking jobs now that Americans could do but are getting paid not to? And when the gravy train is over, will those jobs be available to Americans.

Because of Dementia, this country is a complete mess and getting worse. 5.4% inflation rate? What do you think is going to happen when they pass this 4 trillion green/ infrastructure bill?

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

The evidence of Bush's disaster is clear to see. The evidence of Biden being anything is not there yet.

You are a Republican and coming with that is your hatred of dems and the usually piles of lies and unsupported personal opinions because of that reason alone and you know it.
It's in your DNA to be that way.
The other matter of being democratically defeated is still chewing away at your gut. You'll have to accommodate that or die with it burning you up.

So cut your bullshit lies and blaming. It does your cause no good and shows your lack of education.

The only reason Dementia won is because of mail-in voting. When you have everybody mail-in, you get the bottom of the barrel; people who know absolutely nothing about politics. Watch how the commies are going to try and promote it again in 2022. They can't win an election with politically intelligent voters only. How stupid do you have to be to elect a guy who was and is making his family rich due to his politics over a President that led us to the best economy in 50 years before China sent us their virus? You have to be completely stupid, and that's who the commies are counting on to win.

As for my so-called lies, name just one.

Reagan listened to globalists within his administration at the time. That is Bush also. Reagan kept us out of wars. As soon as the Soviet Union fell, the Neo Cons pounced. Reagan did spend money building up the military. But the military was reduced in quality since Viet Nam.

Yes, when asked if we should get out of Afghanistan, Americans agree.

When asked if we should leave thousands of American citizens behind, all those who cooperated with us along with billions of dollars in sophisticated military equipment behind, they don't just say no but h*** NO!

Even you know that, you're just in so deep you can't admit it to yourself.

The President' approval has, for the first time, fallen beneath 50%.

We have no way of knowing whether it will go up, down, or sideways, of course, but the Former Guy hung on to complete his term with consistently negative public assessments:

Wow!! His numbers are low-----the REAL numbers for him have to be a lot lower.

The problem is we Americans have short memories and this slump will only be temporary. Numbers don't mean much of anything until we near an election if we are to get rid of the garbage in our governments. Even then, because these so-called polls are rigged from the beginning, they really don't mean much of anything anyway.

Coming from the guy who said Biden would pull out of the debates....
View attachment 529280
How'd that turn out?

Nah; economic activity caused inflation; Trump's attempted holocaust depressed activity for almost a year.

Yawn...I'm sorry what?

Meanwhile back in reality, a record number of inoculations was administered last week as citizens of the backwards red states are finally deciding that dying for Trump isn't a good idea.

But Trump's bailing out of the LA Lakers was a great idea! Funny...you didn't seem to mind that stimulus...but suddenly it's bad when Joe does it.

You're going to get as much mileage out of the "sky is falling" strategy as you got out of the Hunter laptop nonsense.

How'd that turn out?

When did I ever say that Biden would pull out of the debates?
