People that voted for that idiot twice are as bad as the folks that voted for and supported Obama and Biden. Bunch of sad sacks that sacrificed liberty for an illusion of security.

They own this as much as Biden and his crew of true believers.
Honestly, I voted for Bush twice because the alternative was much worse.

I voted for Trump because I liked him and he didn't disappoint during his four years except for falling prey to voter fraud. That's the only time I didn't have to hold my nose to avoid the stench of voting for the least vile candidate.

I heard that the state dept. is going to charge Americans $2000 to get out of Afghanistan. If that is the case then it is time that our military steps in and remove that idiot.

I heard that too. And if they can’t pay the $2000 they have to sign a promissory note and it somehow affects passports.

We could have scuttled every piece of hardware in country. The whole argument of "we didn't know the ADF/AAF/ANSF was going to fold so quickly" is total BS. Generals and secretarial staff must not have read the most basic books on warfare.
Agreed but maybe someone wanted the withdrawal this way?

No way Biden actually won the election or is anything more than a figurehead so it stands to reason this chaos is possibly intended.

Time will tell.

Understandable but I know some folks that even in hindsight, think he did a great job and those are the ones that I find contemptible. The “Patriot Act” alone should give pause to anyone believing such nonsense.

Looks like Big Mike loves him though.

I despise the shrub for the Patriot act and his role in this whole mess. The vote for baby bush was probably my biggest regret.

So you are saying charge them or leave them. It is not their fault that they are in the middle of a mess caused by that jack ass Biden. Maybe Biden and the left should pay for it.

Not US soldiers, but contractors and tourists?? He'll ya, they knew the risk of being in a war zone.
You're the last person that I thought would approve welfare.

And on que, all main media have quit carrying Afghanistan news. Now it’s back to millions dying in Florida and school kids dying in Texas because of no masks.

Same here but like DJ wrote, there really wasn't an alternative. I still vote for the lesser evil but I have also changed my investing, saving and spending behavior to combat the monetary authorities I think are truly in control.
