The Afghanistan withdrawal disaster hurt our reputation more than anything else, aside from maybe a stolen election.

Democracies don’t die, they do however kill themselves.

Afghanistan debacle. Turning our backs on Allie’s without warning. A “President” who doesn’t know where he is or what’s going on. A warped/woke military.

Jan 6 doesn’t even make the list.

The only large divisions in America is the ones our federal government is creating.

Eh. Horse$hit.

A little bird just told me Afghanistan’s people are taking control of their country over the vax bs. Media saying it’s because of gas or something. We’ll see if that’s true, it’s so hard to believe anything anymore.

Lies define today’s Left. Literally, it’s all they do.

BTW and not so coincidentally, the Old Man is also called Father of Lies.

Oh, has nothing to do with abandoning allies and Americans in Afghanistan, and the rest of the Biden cock-ups.

The original author:

There’s no debate or division in democratic societies about what happened in the United States — an effort to overturn an election. I think what is stunning ... is that we now have a political party, a major political party in the United States that was unwilling to accept defeat. That’s an indicator of an authoritarian political party, an anti-democratic force

Suppressing an undesired debate is exactly how you ivory tower ivy league hypocrites are trying to kill democracy.

We have met the enemy and it is the faculty and board of overseers of Harvard University which will allow no debate.

Gee, were Levitsky’s ancestors in America when mine rebelled against a far less tyrannical government then we have now?

No?

Guess us evil WASPs don’t have to listen to Bolsheviks like him.
