Posts: 690Pullout from the shithole country.
Might I remind all the intellectual geopolitical geniuses here that Fat Nixon set an earlier date for withdrawal. In another time we chanted in the streets "Pull out Dick, like your father should have" Another jingoistic failed fantasy. The British, Russians, and others also got bloody noses from underestimating their adversaries. I'm not advocating for the Tally Band, a primitive tribe ascribing to religious claptrap and superstition. Please, no more black vs white verbal diarrhea about a very complex situation. Study the history before taping fingers to keyboards. "Charlie Wison's War" ?

Posts: 3322Chris, I admire you for sticking in here and arguing but in the end it is futile. A Dem sent me an article today from Thomas Friedman about how Biden could still be proven right in Afghanistan.
I would put GW Bush and Carter as the two worst presidents in my life time. Thing is both started out with good approval ratings because they were quiet and not in the news at first. Biden's best quality was that he was not the headline grabber Trump was.
Well, now we see what happens when we put someone with dementia in the White House. That there are going to be the Democratic douches putting lipstick on this pig is inevitable but it is not going to stick. In addition to the Afghan disaster, there was this bit in the news: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/bi...wont-pump-more.
Biden's response was predictable. He blamed everyone but himself but the world is laughing at him in a way they never did with Trump. Say you what you will about Trump, he was crude, egotistical, but I do not recall anyone showing him this much disrespect. No one takes Biden seriously. Biden was talking about how Afghanistan was not going to fall on TV, and I had to tell my GF to change the channel because I could not handle such BS. Biden may have to bomb an aspirin factory like Clinton did to get this debacle off the front page.
The irony is that the Republicans in the know will never impeach Biden because they know that a demented Biden is actually better than a fully functioning Kamala Harris. Republicans I know are praying that Biden stays well. How screwed up is that?
100% of the focus of Dems in the primary was on beating Trump. They had no vision. They elected a horrible candidate whose only positive quality was they thought he could beat Trump.
That we are going to see a repeat of Carter IMO is inevitable. But then you have some douches here who actually think those were good times. Ha! They are going to be eating those words, but you know no matter how bad things get, those douches will never, never admit they are wrong.
Nobody could be worse than Trump right? Yeesh.
Again, I just want to leave this forum to them. I thought women were the ones who could delude themselves the most but these men make these women look completely rational. It is going to be fun laughing at their total BS.

Posts: 199Afghan Mongering
I'm not sure who wins or who is really showing true IQ points for posting about politics on an international internet mongering forum.
However.
Whether Bush, Obama, Trump, or now Biden.
And none of the other international powerhouses of the day who were involved.
Could make Afghanistan a suitable mongering destination.
Peace and love Peace and LUVVV.

Posts: 657'Rumors That The Taliban Have Taken Over Are Unfounded,' Says White House
Washington, D. C. —Many are expressing concerns over how far the Taliban has managed to advance after Press Secretary Jen Psaki gave her latest press conference while wearing an Islamic Hijab.
"No, there is nothing to worry about, Alhamdulillah, Allah be praised," said Psaki. "The Taliban poses no danger to the USA And they definitely have not advanced as far as Washington, the. See. Everything is fine here. ".
When asked about her new modest religious veil, she responded, "What do you mean? I always wear these! It's sunny out and it keeps the sun off my head. Nothing to worry about!" She then circled back to face Mecca and bowed her head to the ground. She then also stated: "Rumors of the fall of Afghanistan to the Islamist Taliban are greatly exaggerated!
The White House also confirmed that the crowd of military-aged males with AK47's playing soccer on the White House lawn was just a fun little bit of performance art and nothing to be concerned over.
In other news, the. See. Has confirmed that call to prayer will be at 3 pm this afternoon and that everyone needs to be on time. . .

Is there a reason for making Russian economy great and killing USA economy?
Is there a reason for gas prices of $5.00 gallon?
Only Biden and his loyal democrats can see good in this.
I am sure that there probably is a socialist on here that can agree with Biden on this.

Followed by his publicly lying about the mode of transmission and deadly risk of it while mocking proven mitigation efforts in the critical early months.
Followed by him spending almost a year telling the world it was a "HOAX! There are only 15 cases out of China, one here and that will be near zero soon, we've got this under control, this will go away WITHOUT a vaccine, there will be NO coronavirus in the Fall (of 2020), oh did I mention this will go away WITHOUT a vaccine!?"
And those lies were all Trump economic decisions because he was hand-wringing terrified of disturbing Xi in the midst of his godawful failed Trade Negotiations.
Another 9-11? How about 200+ TIMES 9-11 already so far and you are to blame.
Stop with the revisionist history. We all heard and saw it in real time. The recordings of Trump admitting he "downplayed" all of it (read: lied about all of it) in his interviews with Bob Woodward have not been erased.
Btw, the Repubs in the House of Representatives are the only ones who voted to Defund The Police and they voted to do that unanimously.
Even FUX News Channel reported it:
Congressman: Its Your Party Who Are Defunding the Police (Video).
Fox News Sunday host pushed Republican Rep. Jim Banks on his decision to vote against Bidens relief plan that would help police departments

Trump policies today are keeping the economy going?
Horseshit.
Neither Trump nor any other Repub voted for or signed the $1.9 Trillion Covid-19 Relief Package in March of 2021:

I'll bet even FUX News Channel reported that, too.

Posts: 657Obama Warned America, 'Don't Underestimate Joe's Ability To F**k Things Up. '
"Ronald Reagan once said, "The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things."
Joe Biden has proven not to be a leader, which is something that was predicted by another. It was just one year ago, on August 14,2020, Politico reported a dire warning from former President Barack Obama: "I think the turnout tonight demonstrates the high regard in which the vice president is held in the extended Obama family," Rouse told the crowd of about 50 people. "And I think that that message is not out as far as it should be. " Yet searing, anonymously sourced quotes from Obama kept appearing through the race. One Democrat who spoke to Obama recalled the former president warned, "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f**k things up. " Speaking of his own waning understanding of today's Democratic electorate, especially in Iowa, Obama told one 2020 candidate: "And you know who really doesn't have it? Joe Biden." Obama's statement was a true prediction of Joe Biden's first seven months in the Oval Office. Since inauguration Day on January 20, everything Joe Biden has touched has turned to manure. . . "

You keep trashing Trump for made up fantasy when Biden is destroying America.
I am a democrat and I can see it. Biden has destroyed the lives of all innocent people in Afghanistan in just 6 months. Our borders are not secure and thousands are entering daily. How many of them are terrorists? The world sees a weak leader of USA and the world is taking advantage. We will see another 9-11 under Biden and you are to blame.
Real democrats care about USA. Obviously you do not. I don't know how you benefit from the crime, poverty and destruction of USA but you must to be ignoring the facts.
We are all Americans not democrats or republicans. Americans care about USA. Why don't you?
