Everyone Is At the Brink with Biden Now

[excalibur]

...President Biden sought to deflect the criticism that the administration did not prioritize civilian evacuation ahead of formal military withdrawal.

...

... there are also an estimated 10,000 U.S. civilians remaining in Afghanistan, according to the Washington Post’s Josh Rogin. Included in that number are some American journalists and aid workers who may wish to remain in the country, but there are also many U.S. civilians who have been instructed to shelter in place and are now unsure how they will escape the country.​

You didn’t tell me anything. Let’s hear this rationale.

System collapses?

Stimulus done....vaccines distributed....stock market--record highs...infrastructure done....Afghanistan....messy right now but pullout is under way; 20 year commitment over.

Blobber hysteria...off the charts.

306-232...never sounded so good.

Installed. This is what it looks like. Its only going downhill with the invalid that you voted for.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Trump was going to do the same thing. You had no issue with that.

So Trump had plans to abandon Americans in Afghanistan rather than leaving the troops in place until the evacuation was complete?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Biden's done.

Absolutely no doubt about it

 

[jknowgood]

Here's a thought...stay and fight for your nation.

So innocent people trying to get away from Biden's decision are wrong. Oh, you will be good with people like me doing a Jan. 6 again? But this time finishing it? To fight for my country? Bitch?

So predictable....

Most of Those coming here from Central America are not fleeing a government that is going to kill them; they're fleeing poverty.

Like I said...blobber hysteria is off the charts. Delicious.

So, fleeing poverty means come on through our border and get yourself some welfare. Your government trying to kill you though you should stay and fight. That’s your comparison.

No...usually it means getting a job.

Your government trying to kill you though you should stay and fight. That’s your comparison.

The Taliban isn't a government; they're a street gang. The government abandoned their post.

After 7 Years of Failing to Fix Afghanistan, Ghani Makes a Hasty Escape (Published 2021)

By the time ex-president Ashraf Ghani fled the country, the hot-tempered leader was isolated and ineffective. Critics blamed him for the chaos in Kabul, saying he had betrayed his people.

My comparison is that for 20 years, these guys fleeing could have joined the legitimate afghan army, fought the street gang, held their homes....

Somehow Mexicans and other central Americans aren’t expected to do the same.

You can't be this dense, can you?

In Mexico and Central America....They actually have elections, courts, police, a military, not a theocracy to where the mood of of the mullahs determines how long your beard is or how much of your face you get to show in public.

The common enemy of most of those who come across the border is poverty.

Biden: 'I Do Not Regret My Decision' To Withdraw From Afghanistan​

Speaking about the Taliban's ousting of the U.S.-backed Afghan government, Biden acknowledged, "The truth is this did unfold more quickly than we anticipated."

Hollow words from a hollow man.

 

[AntonToo]

Biden blamed Trump, then blamed the Afghani's themselves, and never took responsibility for his sucky exit strategy.

Hollow words from a hollow man.

Nothing Biden says or does will be good enough for you. Thats a given.

But when you say Biden didn't take reponsibility you were wrong, so you may as well own up to it...and also maybe reflect on how not taking responsibility was one of Trump's specialties.

Probably because nothing he has said or done has resulted in anything getting better. Everything he has touched is worse than it was a year ago.

When Carter was president Reagan asked if anyone was better off than four years ago. The answer was no. With Bidumb this question can be asked every month and the answer is no.

Thats just a stupid, easily contradicted statement.

No thinking person talks like that, cool-aid chugging nutters talk like that.

Trump TOUCHED and TALKED and MADE A DEAL with Taliban for full withdrawal and urged Biden to withdraw before September...which Biden has done and all of sudden this withdrawal is in the "nothing getting better" basket.

America wasn't better off after 8 Bush (2008), wasn't better off after 4 years of Trump (2020) - didn't change your support for him, so you can stop blowing smoke up my ass.

Bush kind of equaled out at the end. No question we were far better off under Trump. The fact we’d be better off with a fucking turtle and be better off than Bidumb is a given. So fuck off and chain smoke through your asshole.

6.2%+ unemployment when Trump left office is better than 4.7% we had when he got in?

3 Trillion dollar deficit in 2020 is better than 0.6T in 2016?

-3.5% GDP growth in 2020 is better?

All the people dying from Covid is better?

What the hell are you even talking about? There were obviously reasons for America not being better off aside from Trump, but you claiming that were better off at the end of his presidency points to some mix of ignorance and idiocy.
