Yep, when at a loss for a legit response, go the insult route.Jesus, you’re a retard.

He said that criticisms of his handling of the Coronavirus were a democratic hoax. Not the existence of the virus. At one of his unmasked rallies where he was stirring up his base to hate democrats.No, he didn’t. He called the incessant uproar over everything the Admin did the next Russia Hoax.
Only some of that is true. You're stating it how you wish it is.The military equipment was left to arm the Afghan military. The Americans and Afghans who stayed knew about the pending withdrawal and choose to stay because at the time Afghanistan was a functioning state with government and military that these people would be supporting.
This is largely true, the PMCs, but there are also, active US forces there. So, again, you're still stating it how you wish it is.Many of the Americans who stayed were private military contractors and maintainers essential for keeping the Afghan military and the equipment we left functional. A blanket “withdraw all Americans” would have only served to undermine the Afghan military and government and act as a de facto surrender to the Taliban.
This is false. The US military itself uses commercial flights, has since Vietnam. There is a huge difference between Vietnam and Afghanistan, and that's why even the US Media is hitting Biden ... hard. You refuse to see it.There was no concept of evacuation prior to military withdrawal because people could come and go and their was a commercial airport with commercial flights operating for more than a month after the withdrawal.
You're actually the one that over-simplified it. He's actually correct, even if some of your points are partially correct. US military personnel -- not just PMCs -- are in country, and they ARE IN CHARGE OF US MILITARY CHARTERED FLIGHTS TOO.So do you see why your simplistic approach is problematic?
^^^ This is the far left media narrative that even the US Media is seeing through. Geez you ate it up. This is UTTERLY FALSE.Never mind that US government officials and military are out of the country and the US short of an outright travel ban has no jurisdiction over US citizens who are traveling to Afghanistan in a non-government role.
Exactly what he said. The Taliban broke the flimsy agreement ... because they could.So given that what would you have done?
If you and your wife are out somewhere and decide to leave, should you be criticized if you leave your wallet and shoes there and drive off without your wife?Yep, when at a loss for a legit response, go the insult route.
Certainly the posters here I argued with back in 2020 felt that way. So do we slowly begin removing our military equipment, American civilians, and Afghan allies over the course of the next year or two? NO.“NOOOO!!!!1 Everyone agreed it was time to go home!!!!!!”
This is the kind of crap you get (from a politician of either party) when you mix wartime field tactics with back home politics.Leave troops in until we had properly removed our own military equipment, all Americans, and all Afghan allies who wanted out.
Not that hard.
Jesus what a stupid analogy.If you and your wife are out somewhere and decide to leave, should you be criticized if you leave your wallet and shoes there and drive off without your wife?
“NOOOO!!!!1 Everyone agreed it was time to go home!!!!!!”
Own it, democrats are a disaster. Record inflation, gas prices up 50%, a border crises created because of “orange man bad” policy decisions.LMAO. This WC gem from the Trumpster who supported us leaving BACK IN MAY for crying out loud!!!!
It’s about how you leave. Not just leaving.Jesus what a stupid analogy.
There is a reason the last 3 Presidents didn’t pull out and only Trump committed to after a first term . the risks never go away thereIt’s about how you leave. Not just leaving.
So this has been handled fine?There is a reason the last 3 Presidents didn’t pull out and only Trump committed to after a first term . the risks never go away there
Who announces to the enemy when we plan to leave??!?So this has been handled fine?
It's worse than that. He is a traitor and should be treated as such.This is all on Biden. Nearly 8 months to have a plan. Even the warnings from the military. Biden is an incompetent disaster.
No one is answering my question: WHO TELLS THE ENEMY IN ADVANCE WE'RE PLANNING TO GET THE HELL OUT???!?This is all on Biden.
Now sure why that is relevant??? Are you f*king kidding?We never left while Trump was in office. Not sure why that is relevant.
Yeah, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.We have no idea if based on the intel if Trump would have done something different.
It shows how unserious Hawley is, he doesn’t respect Democracy hereHere comes the chuds trying to find something 40 years ago completely irrelevant to this happening today. A complete disaster of what we built for 20 years destroyed by Biden in 10 days.
When he went off script and took open questions it really gave us an insight to his emotional and mental state. He's broken. He doesn't want to do this anymore. His sadness really came through.It's almost like his handlers told him to say a few strong words but in the end he looks weak and defeated. Pretty embarrassing decline of the United States in 8 months.
Defending what? Please point where I've been defending our withdrawal.The fact you're still defending this speaks volumes to the blinders you have put up
The people who are still in Afghanistan for the most part weren’t just “late leaving”, but planned to stay in country after the military withdrawal. So a better analogy would have been you sold the restaurant, some of the previous employees stuck around and the new boss set the building on fire.It’s about how you leave. Not just leaving.
So we agree then, he didn’t call the virus a hoax. And he was right at the beginning, and really throughout, that the admin did better than most of the comparable countries in the world. Fauci was the idiot and still is with his inability to message. You’ve bought firmly into political lies. He wasn’t perfect by any means, and there’s plenty that I’d have done differently, but it wasn’t the disaster the media has made it out to be.He said that criticisms of his handling of the Coronavirus were a democratic hoax. Not the existence of the virus. At one of his unmasked rallies where he was stirring up his base to hate democrats.
And that was simply because a reporter challenged him. He really is a broken, frail old man that probably just wants to go home now.
Lightning quick is a good description of it. This thread isn't even a week old and look at how things have devolved in that amount of time.This is bad. He’s dug a hole that he and most likely anyone can escape from. It happened lightning quick
price of gas, inflation, no one working... any of those reasons?ITT: "his approval rating drop can't be because of Afghanistan, and it makes no sense that its because of Covid."
Yes, democrats really are this delusional. Next week when his approval rating is in the 20s they won't understand why, because to them everything is wonderful, except for the stuff that is Trumps fault.
I really don’t think an approval rating in the 20s is possible anymore.ITT: "his approval rating drop can't be because of Afghanistan, and it makes no sense that its because of Covid."

agreed, i don't think you can really get below 30%, that would be my guess.I really don’t think an approval rating in the 20s is possible anymore.
There are far too many people for whom politics is their team sport. They’re ride or die with the R or the D, and will approve of anything the side they like does.
