Taliban taking over Afghanistan

[Parkbandit]

Best part of his address today - paraphrasing:

"It was my decision to get out of Afghanistan!"

"My predecessor had set the plan in motion to withdraw from Afghanistan!"

See what he did there? LOL. - Fucking dingbat. But the masses will not get that nuance.

Again, leaving Afghanistan - Good.

The way this administration implemented it (and is now trying to reword/redefine what happened) - Bad.

"The buck stops with me and I take full responsibility.. but this isn't my fault"

Thank goodness Biden got us out of Afghanistan before more Americans died. Most of us respect them right of the fewer than two hundred who asked to stay in that country despite being offered secured flights out of the country. Can't imagine the sort of individual who believes citizens in other countries should be forcibly removed against their will without having committed a crime.

If you polish that turd long enough... maybe it won't look like a turd..

There were people vacationing in Afghanistan. There is a story about several people who went there on break to visit with relatives and they are stuck there.

Is that really considered a "vacation" though?

What a monster!

Also you're full of shit because she said she tried to escape several times but couldn't because of Taliban checkpoints and one time when she made it to the airport she couldn't get through the crowd of people and was tear gassed.

Maybe JUST MAYBE Biden could have acted like a leader for once and had the military hold onto the entire city of Kabul until all citizens were evacuated instead of allowing the Taliban to take control of the entire country and set up checkpoints while US civilians were still trapped in the country.

Knock it off with your partisan bullshit already. Biden is a complete failure. He got Americans killed because of his incompetence. His incompetence has now allowed hundreds of Americans to be trapped in Afghanistan.

Go fuck yourself.

How funny, telling me to knock off my partisan bullshit so you can spread lies and misinformation freely. Dude, you lie so fucking much that it is stunning. The amount of misinformation, cherry picking of facts, all of which is heavily partisan is unprecedented. Everything you post is negative. If the dude were to save the world and forgot to shake someone's hand while accepting his Nobel Peace prize, you'd call him the biggest failure since Trump.

Did we leave embassy staff / family behind? That'd be a huge fuckup, far more than a civilian trying to save the world.

That is your benchmark? "Well, this wasn't a HUGE fuckup.... because we didn't leave embassy staff / family behind"

What was your posting style like from 2017 to 2020?

You’re seriously the biggest faggot ever.

Blah blah blah. Your deflection is pathetic. Stop band wagoning. Stop shilling for murderers and rapists. And stop defending old ghouls who don't care about human life just because they have a D after their name.

So if I visit my relatives 10 miles away is that a vacation too?

Are you taking a leave of absence from work? That is the key point. If you disagree you can talk to the dictionary people and tell them they are wrong.

She probably didn't think an incompetent ghoul would be occupying the White House that would prioritize scoring a political win over saving lives.

Why is it the government's job to get her out?
