Doesnt matter, we were safe under Trumps leadership; NO terrorist attacks over here since he took over- now, thanks to his weak leadership and incompetence, they will be emboldened to strike anew. And when it happens, us Conservatives will remind you of this !!

Unbelieveable, that is absurd. If thats your position and youre not willing to be honest and critical towards your own guy, then how can we have a conversation about political issues? Everything that Trump and the Republicans do sucks and everything that Biden and the Dems do is awesome, is that correct? If youre not willing to admit that this Afghan situation is an abject fiasco, then , at best, youre being disengenuous. Do you really belive that or youre just refusing to admit this? That is ridiculous GC, you know better than that.

Yes, weak and now, the entire world is cognizant of it as well. In regards to your second assertion, biden was the #2 when the grovelling and deferring to the aforementioned dictators took place, so, I guess that technically youre right ,but it was his boss (i.e. Obama)- doesnt that make him a apart of it, though? Were not talking about Prez Bush, were talking about Bidens serious catastrophic blunder in Afghanistan. If you want me to admit that, then, sure, there are things I didnt like about the invsaion of Iraq; now, can you admit how egregiously Biden blundered in Afghanistan? Youre deflecting and refusing to acknowledge smething that everyone sees, that is so obvious to all. Youre being too easy on him because you voted for him. HE BLEW IT-PERIOD. That is no way to hold our elected leaders accountable. I've said this before and I think youre wrong in your efforts to cover for him when hes screwed everything up over there so profoundly. The only thing we will be thanking Biden for is the renewed terrorist attacks that will now resume back here in the homeland within 6 months to a year. He has emboldened our enemies with his weakness- and it will happen. God, I hope I'm wrong, though. Again, you may have a point here but we are not talking about Prez Bush.

They do underfight for their size but Ive never heard ANYBODY claim that bass are better table fare than walleye- NOTHINGS better than walleye , except maybe Salmon !!

I was thinking the same thing lol

GC, that is simply not true and you know it. Trump may be alot of things, but I think if you polled the Taliban right now, asking them who theyd rather deal with, Trump or Biden, theyd say Biden hands down with no hesitation -wvery honest person would admit that. Biden has demonstrated that he is weak, confused and lacking in cofidence and leadership, with no set mission objectives and goals in mind in regards to foreign policy decisions in relation to Afghanistan. You know he really blew this and I notice in your reply, you said nothing about Bidens handling of this current crisis , choosing again, to just go after Trump. WE KNOW YOU DONT LIKE TRUMP- WE GET THAT. But what about Bidens handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal: can you admit that its a disaster or no?

I understand that you hate Trump and the Republican party ( no sarcasm here), but that is an absolutely absurd assessment of the current situation. The balls to get us out? This man (Biden) has done more to damage our national prestige and our international status as a superpower than any President before him- even Obama wasnt this bad. As an American, I am shocked and outraged by the events that have unfolded in Afghanistan; the piss poor planning that has led to all of this. You can be partisan - most of us are; but when you refuse to hold your guy accountable for major blunders such as this , you demonstrate that there truly is no accountability by the people over their elected leaders because youre not willing to crticize youre guy, no matter what. Let me put it this way: if all of this had transpired under Trump, youd be singing a very different tune, and rightly so. Moreover, many of the Conservatives on here would be defending his actions-which is wrong and is the same thing youre doing right now. I would be criticizing him just as vociferously as I am Biden, currently, and would be with you in condemning his conduct, poor performance and incredibly poor leadership. When you refuse to do so now, you lose all credibility. Biden REALLY screwed up- admit it.

Terrible situation- leadership from the White House is entirely non-existent at this point. I am worried as It is very bad.

You mean you can change biological sex by surgery, not gender. Gender refers to how you identify , how you view yourself in relation to biological sex and your self presentation- and that may not be immutable either.

Correct

Well, this is true

God bless you for even attempting to drive in the city- its a zoo! Lol

Correct- good point

How long have you been in the US Mike? That is unfortunate, but you understand that if your not a citizen, you shouldnt have a say in another countrys elections, right? Can you still vote in German elections even though youre no longer esiding there?

Yeah, no doubt. hope the pay was awesome.

Biden REALLY didnt think this one through , Im afraid. Common sense dictates that when conducting a major withdrawal , the FIRST thing you do is get your people out, along with any Afghan foreigners whos lives are in danger cuz they helped the US govt. - then, equipment next and FINALLY, evac the troops. Biden did it in reverse!! Not too swift and plenty of people are going to suffer from this- except the Tali , of course! I guess they should be thanking Biden for his assistance in their efforts, but sadly, theyre preoccupied at the moment committing atrocities against fleeing Aghan civilians, Americans trapped in Kabul , and counting all the American weapons and planes left behind for them to enjoy!!

Bidens own people are saying it- probably, even more, in fact.

Wow !!!

No way!! lol

Nevertheless, musings they were -and nothing more should be inferred than that. Anyone who concluded otherwise either aint too bright themselves or has a severe disdain for the former Prez.

Heres what he actually said VERBATIM: You be the judge yourself. Here are his full comments: "A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposedly we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. (To Bryan) And I think you said you’re going to test that, too. Sounds interesting, right?" He continued. "And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful." Did he actually say what youre suggesting? Nope.

I believe that Bidens own team mentioned in a briefing yeterday that they estimate 10-15 thousand- in dont know whos right, but both sides seem to agree theres alot.

I believe I heard theyre gonna hold a congreesional investigation arent they? I thought Pelosi said something about that the other day.

I think even the hard left is shocked by the abject incompetence on display past few days by this administration. Did you see that he held a press conference today about COVID Boosters for God's sakes? Didnt even mention the Afghan debacle- talk about a red-herring attempt to distract attention!!

I think theyre intentionally keeping her out of this for damage control; also, to ensure that she doesnt stick her foot in her mouth.
