Biden Cannot Be Blamed For Any Of It .

Christmas is going to be on December 25th this year. It's obvious to people with open eyes but some might say it's a conspiracy theory.
By that time, GOP governors will have intentionally caused another dark winter of Covid shutdowns.
 
Vice President Harris is on her way to Vietnam for a trip she's had scheduled for a long time.

The BDS is out of control.

Too bad your fat crush Trump didn't get us out of Afghanistan like he promised he would. Lazy slob punted it to an old man. Pathetic.
Trump began withdrawing troops in 2020, and reduced troop levels from 13K to roughly 2.5K. He also setup Contingency and Crisis Bureau to rapidly remove Americans from foreign lands and provide projections, which the Biden administration dismanted in June -- a decision which left Americans unprotected (15K) and the Biden administration scrambling.

So in other words, Biden and his handlers shot Biden in the foot all on their.
Biden and his handlers 100% own this one.

Biden is putting an end to a war your GOP leaders started.

thats the reality. The rest of the drivel you spew is partisan garbage.

We still have 10,000 stranded Americans that Joe forgot so don't count your chickens before they hatch.
If we manage to get them out safely (or even if we don't) try telling all the Afghans who are going to be tortured, murdered and beheaded that the war is over. Try telling Afghan women and girls who are going to be taken from their education and forced into slavery that the war is over. Even your hero Nancy Pelosi knows better.

Only a person ignorant of history and reality can say that. But thanks for keeping the liberal spin alive.

Sooo, more nation building? Arent you people “America first” now?

It isnt reality. Reality is that the decision to go into Afghanistan after 9/11 was virtually unanimous. So unanimous, in fact, that Kerrys argument against Bush in 2004 was that the Iraq war caused us to take our eye off the real focus--Afghanistan--which he promised to pick up. What is also reality is that Joe Biden just authored the largest foreign policy blunder in US history. You know this is true which is why you are desperately trying to deflect. You arent fooling anyone.

Nope. This was a war that was set in motion by a GOP administration, one in which you voted for and supported. And now it's a Dem president ending this bullshit, after the last GOP president talked a big game, but did absolutely nothing but drone strike people.

"and largest foreign policy blunder in history?" Yeah, if you're a Republican partisan shill looking for anything to attack Biden with. You're just pissed that it's a Democratic president doing what your loser Republican president couldn't and wouldn't do. History will be kind to Biden's decision here, regardless of the GOP and their laughable sudden switch back to their "nation building" days.

Yup, Trump just withdrew troops and left no support for the Afghan government or its citizens. He and his Nazi right hand man Miller also didn't let anyone get Visas. And he made no effort to get Americans out of there.

What a failure that man was.
 
What is not to understand???????????????? Trump's plan to get out was scheduled for May and by May he was a private citizen. Biden did it his way and Biden needs to pay the price.

What did you not understand??????? Trump had one year to take care of things. He didn't. He's such a failure.
 
Biden is responsible for everything that happens on his watch.He is a senile old fool.He deserves to be criticized every day like Trump was.
The only difference being your assessment of Joe being senile is based on your hatred of democrats and nothing else and you know it.

Trump was a narcissistic sociopathic incompetent fool. He barely knew where states were located in the country. He said he was the chosen one.
He was an I international disaster for diplomacy, remember the tariff folly with the Chinese, he sent the economy into a dive.
Do an assessment on those facts then tell me how is senile.

What's even more sad is for all the rightful criticisms Obama got for his drone strikes, Trump was even worse: under-donald-trump-drone-strikes-far-exceed-obama-s-numbers

Oh, and he also stopped reporting drone strike deaths: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47480207

But yet these losers pretend he was some kind of anti war president. Bullshit, he was just as bad, in fact worse, than any of their perceived political "enemies".

Never underestimate the magnitude of the ignorance in Trump Fan Nation.

That one? The one that Biden cancelled?

Biden State Dept Moved to Abolish Crisis Response Bureau Months Before Taliban Takeover of Afghanistan
Internal memo says Biden officials canceled Trump-era emergency operations bureau

The Biden State Department moved in June to cancel a program overseeing the protection and evacuation of American citizens stationed overseas in the case of an emergency, just as the Taliban was taking over Afghanistan, according to an internal State Department memo obtained by the Washington Free Beacon and multiple sources familiar with the matter.

The Biden State Department moved to dissolve the Trump-era crisis response program, according to an internal State Department memo and sources familiar with the matter. That memo, which was marked sensitive but unclassified and was signed by Deputy Secretary Brian McKeon, approved the "discontinuation of the establishment, and termination of, the Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau (CCR)," a new State Department entity created during the Trump administration to coordinate emergency response services overseas.

The CCR bureau was established late last year by then-secretary of state Mike Pompeo. In a notification sent to Congress in October and also obtained by the Free Beacon, the Trump administration said the new bureau would provide "aviation, logistics, and medical support capabilities for the Department's operational bureaus, thereby enhancing the secretary's ability to protect American citizens overseas in connection with overseas evacuations in the aftermath of a natural or man-made disaster."

The decision to dissolve the CCR was handed down just months before the Taliban overtook the Afghan capital of Kabul, leaving the Biden administration scrambling to evacuate more than 15,000 Americans still trapped in the country. It is unclear if the Biden State Department has an alternative plan or a similar bureau that could coordinate emergency services alongside other government agencies, according to sources familiar with the situation.

Sure sounds like we could have used this bureau right about now.
 
Sooo, more nation building? Arent you people “America first” now?
When Republicans nation build they keep America first while they are doing it.
When Democrats nation build they never keep America first.. Come to think of it, they never keep America first ever. They are constantly apologizing for us and saying that America is so evil and such a terrible place to live.
Joe is in the middle of destroying a nation right now so that should make you happy.

LMAO... Is there a shortage of MEDICAL evacuations from Afghanistan? How many operations did this bureau execute? Do you ever research beyond sources like FreeBeacon? The bureau consisted of 98 MEDICAL personnel...

Defund police....defund border protection....defund crisis bureaus.....and then blame all our problems on Republicans. It's no surprise that even moderates are starting to miss Trump more and more.
 
Not sure if I'm concerned in the least bit about the Media's frustration with Biden.
Lord knows, the media has frustrated me for a long time now already.
Maybe whatever frustration the media feels is because of the impossible position they find themselves in defending the indefensible with nothing but "Now exactly what happened, I've not priced in." as a defense offered by the "Big Guy".

There was never any bureau other than on paper.... Congress did not approve any additional funding for this bureau.. good lord... It was proposed to be 98 people from the existing Bureau of Medical Services... It was never even formed...

Pot... met kettle.

The "drivel... partisan garbage" is trying to defend the Biden administration's clear failure of intelligence gathering, complete lack of planning to exit with any degree of reason, and resulting chaos playing out across Afghanistan right now.

Biden had to send troops back to secure an airport just to get Americans out that his own failures compromised, let alone our allies and those on the ground who helped us throughout Afghanistan now facing questionable outcome.

The images we see are Biden's failures, there is no way to remove his area of blame for this shit show we are watching.

Sorry .. Last month Biden said there were 300K+ Afghan troops and there was no threat or concern of a Taliban takeover (against the advice from intelligence which indicated otherwise).. not sure where you're getting your information, and you're losing credibility with the use of "Nazi" ...

You're worried about Miller's response, while Biden dismantled the Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau designed to protect Americans in foreign lands in the event of a quick-strike withdrawal, and essentially left 15K Americans unprotected and the billions of dollars of lost military assets.
