“But Trump”
Click to expand...
Predictable answer from the trump cult. Any time one of you attempt to attack Biden but forget trump was far worse, you throw out the "whataboutism" or "but trump."

You don't have to like it....but that doesn't make it any less true.

Exclusive: Before Afghan collapse, Biden pressed Ghani to ‘change perception’


WASHINGTON, Aug 31 (Reuters) - In the last call between U.S. President Joe Biden and his Afghanistan counterpart before the Taliban seized control of the country, the leaders discussed military aid, political strategy and messaging tactics, but neither Biden nor Ashraf Ghani appeared aware of or prepared for the immediate danger of the entire country falling to insurgents, a transcript reviewed by Reuters shows.

This is Biden’s complete fu** up. This couldn’t have been handled any worse. You don’t have to like it, but that doesn’t make it any less true. No amount of “but trump said” arguments change anything. Biden has been a complete failure and embarrassment so far.

And I've repeatedly said Biden screwed up the exit strategy. However, labeling his entire presidency up to this point as a "failure and embarrassment" is painting with quite a broad brush.

Let's wait 20 years and take a look at the presidential rankings.

If you don’t believe he is in charge, then why are you blaming him for the bungled withdrawal? If you answer because he is President, then I don’t know how you don’t say he gets credit for making the decision to leave.

I’m not following why you can have it
both ways.

He gets blame because he is President, but for any credit, he wasn’t really the one in charge?

I never said he doesn't get credit. I was simply stating he only wants you to take take half of what he states at face value and they I don't believe he is calling all of the shots. Sorry if we got our wires crossed.

I'm not a Trump supporter but I would like to see a list of things Trump handled worse than Biden. You could argue Covid but after that I'm not sure where one could go.

You pull the old “ Biden messed up, but trump did this this and this” routine. And sure, Biden will be sitting way at the bottom of that presidential ranking list. He’s fu***** terrible

Promise you there's no way he ends up lower than a one-termer that was impeached twice.

I would start with trump had no actual plan for his administration. It consisted of nothing more than attempting to further the "trump" brand. He had a revolving door in about every cabinet position and had a secretary of state that said he was a f-ing idiot. He daily did nothing but tweet nonsense and attempt to further the divide that existed in this country when he was elected. When asked what his plans were for the country if he was to be re-elected, he had nothing to say.

Need I continue??

At least he admits it is a problem and doesn't make a fool of himself by telling everyone it's no big deal and that UV light and bleach will cure it.

Rasmussen: 52% Say Biden Should Resign Over Afghanistan
Click to expand...

I am surprised with those numbers actually. Especially since polls normally lean left.

I also must say I disagree with the idea of impeaching Biden for his massive screw up in Afghanistan for several reasons. Impeachment should only derive from criminal actions, like all the money his son seemed to be taking from foreign governments on his behalf while he was still VP (and might still be taking for all we know). Supreme errors in judgement that are political are part of the package of what you elect. The American voter made its bed, now it gets to repose in its squalor. Now some may say "we didnt actually elect him" but the reality is that the US Congress accepted the results and put him in office.

Understandable.

I'm just wondering if what I have been hearing lately is true or not. The reason why we are having to rely on commercial aircrafts and allies and what not to assist with the evacuations is because we have an enormous maintenance backlog with our fleet.

If I had to bet, I would bet that our military does about the same as private industry in this country. Spend money up front on capital, but then skimp and penny-pinch on maintenance. Run to failure as much a possible.

I'm not going to waste time responding to your post, but I will thank you for choosing the perfectly descriptive username. With most posters it's difficult to gauge where they're coming from, but when you nail the username it makes it easier on everyone.
