    As Marshal Gian-Jacopo Trivulzio (1448-1518 said, war requires three things: money, money, and more money.)
    And if there is no money, then you have to ... for example, flee from Afghanistan.

    The US left Afghanistan because the US has no economy. We can't call Facebook, Twitter, .... dog hairdressers, waiters .... and the like real aeonomics. Is not it?

    The Taliban have heroin. And they can easily exchange it for the necessary parts. For example, they will ask Biden Jr. to help. Heroin for him, spare parts for the Taliban.

    Maybe they just didn't want to lose their heads over it?

    Isn't it possible that someone that worked in that lab has useful information in fighting Covid? Information that was hidden by the CCP? Someone with a conscience maybe? Good luck getting that person to come forward in the environment created by the US government

    Right now, he's proclaiming that (a) he would've "won" the war in 3 months; (b) ignored his own treaty; and (c) gotten everyone out in spite of his mind-blowing incompetence.

    This lying bag of **** was actually criticizing Biden for not leaving Afghanistan in May, and said 0 about evacuating anyone.

    RW Fabrication Machine is still pumping out the memes, so this schtick will die hard.

    If someone is in a power position and can order an exit one might assume a safe total withdrawal might be a cornerstone of their planning.

    Facts have never mattered to the Right. Only that their sheep keep voting for them. Trump refined their technique to a new level. Remember “alternative facts” and “fake news” ? He owns the copyright on those phrases.

    It figures he claims he could have done something in 3 months which he tried and failed for 4 years.

    He succeeded in signaling to the Taliban and the Afghan military that he was leaving Afghanistan to the Taliban. Then, after he lost the election, he bragged that he had "boxed Biden in", excluded the Afghan government from negotiations, bragged about the agreement with the Taliban, publicly discussed inviting the Taliban to Camp David on 9/11, lambasted Biden for not having American military personnel out by May, and yammered on about his incompetent ass would've had everyone out--(how, he didn't say).

    But it's all Biden's fault, and stuff.

    No, zero is what Trump's military parade cost, because it never happened.

    And if you think the US taxpayers don't pay a whole mountain of money for all the fancy military hardware the Taliban is showing off at Joe's Biden's military parade, then you must be completely unaware of the colossal boondoggle that just happened in Afghanistan.

    I was told that the buck stops with Joe.

    Was that a lie too?

    See if you can wrap your MBA head around this: 85% of the personal income tax cuts went to people making $400,000. If there was no tax cut for rich people, the net tax cuts could have been six times as high for everyone making less than $400,000. Trump said he wouldn't cut taxes for rich people, then he did.
    You have an MBA and you're in the middle class? I have university training in economics and business and I'm in the upper class. I used my knowledge to make money investing. Anyway, it's not about you, but what the average guy faces.
    I worked for Northrop Corporation scheduling computer runs in the 1960s. My father designed jet aircraft, my father-in-law was a USAAC-USAF test pilot and finished his military career firing off missiles at the Cape. You really shouldn't make assumptions about people you don't know.
    Not sure what your point is. They went too far and presented themselves as a menace we concluded we shouldn't tolerate.
    They could have killed our soldiers. Why didn't they?
    Trump didn't get anything, either.
    Unemployment had been coming down for years. Most of the drop came under Obama.

    USA - 197 covid deaths per 100,000 people
    Canada - 72 covid deaths per 100,000 people

    If we had done as well as Canada, we would have 236,877 deaths, not 648,121.

    Trump never pushed any proposal to upgrade our infrastructure.

    "As public spending on infrastructure declines, America will underinvest in its infrastructure by an estimated more than $2 trillion between 2016-2025, a new reportfrom the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) says.

    According to the ASCE, public dollars spent on roads, bridges, water systems, and other infrastructure items fell by 8 percent between 2003 and 2017. And as the dollars spent on infrastructure fall, the damage to American pocketbooks increases."

    Are you on Medicare? I'm not and I'm in my 70s. Seems as though one of us has his hand out...
    Your hand is out again? I don't collect Social Security, either.
    You tried this straw man before.
    This is incredibly naïve for someone with an MBA. The average guy who relies on his labor for an income is impacted by the like of right-to-work laws that make it difficult to unionize.
    No, he screwed up by undermining the TPP and efforts with the EU to bring China to heel.
    He appointed three lightweights to the Supreme Court, each with the stated purpose of reviewing Roe.
    Talk, talk, talk. He appointed an extreme lightweight as Secretary and did almost nothing in his first two years when he controlled Congress to support states wanting to go to vouchers.
    Yeah, and before that it was "No Child Left Behind."
    I taught adults and high school students. Most parents have no idea how to motivate students--if they did, our schools would perform much better in spite of the embarrassingly low pay. I taught computer science and I can tell you its almost impossible to hire qualified STEM instructors. Guess why...?

    No, "anyone" can't do it because there aren't enough "name brand" universities.

    I'm a supporter of school vouchers provided they're large enough to enable a poor family to choose a good school for their child without having to top up the voucher.

    BTW, I would never have considered teaching school if I relied on the inadequate pay for my income.
    My uncle (mother's brother), like my mother, grew up in a home between two junk yards. He retired as a Col. USAF. My uncle (father's brother) went to West Point (1936), worked for JFK and LBJ, and retired as a Major General USA. His mother died and his father was unemployed when he went to West Point in 1932. My mother became a mayor and city manager. My father designed fighter jets. My father-in-law was a Missouri farm boy who became a USAAC-USAF test pilot and retired as a Col. USAF.

    I come from a family of people who never quit. Me? I graduated from high school and went to college at 16, graduated from university at 20, ran an auto repair business and made enough money investing I could teach school and not care if I was paid.

    My wife graduated from university at age 19. Our daughter is the vice president of a large national bank.

    Not everyone has the ability to become a test pilot, design jet aircraft, make general, or become a city mayor, but they can develop their abilities, make a good living, be a good parent and a good citizen. My beef with government-run schools is they don't motivate students.
    Read Part Two of Mueller's report.
    Lots of fake news. Are you a low-information voter? :) He tried to toss the election into the House.
    I have university training in economics. Do you really have an MBA?
    Trump doubled the deficit in good times.

    He did not. Only the congress can do that. Someone with a university education in economics would know that.

    Not true.
    The Afghan military was not allowed to operate outside of USG command and control. The USG ran the whole show until the big top finally collapsed on the center ring.
