The beauty of being a member of the ruling class is no matter how bad the outcome you can claim it could have been worse if someone else would have done it. There is no expectation of success.

Twisted logic - Trump said we should get out of Afganistan. Biden agrees with Trump!

So how was Trump wrong?

Two weeks ago I went to the emergency room because in the process of preparing for a procedure I consumed too much fluid, almost killed me.

I do not want to repeat the mistake...😉

What part of Trump’s plan did he honor. Leaving in May is before the fighting season and threatened them with rolling thunder if they interfered. What did President Buffoon do?

Who needs novocaine? Excruciating pain during the root canal would be far more enjoyable than the pain one would experience listening to Sleepy Joe.

Eight Years as Vice President - 2008-2016
President 2021 - Six months.

This has been at the pentacle of leadership for nearly half of the US intervention of 19 years.

Biden owns this. He was proud of overruling (with VP legs up) the military on the drawdown leading to withdrawal.

Biden didn’t even have the ability to deliver this address without literally running out of physical and mental ability.

To: All

The Taliban know that anyone at the airport, or heading to the airport, are likely people who helped the US mission or are our allies. The Taliban are going house to house killing these people throughout Afghanistan.

Biden said the new evacuation mission will take time.

This can only lead to a bloodbath.
