President Biden

[Guisslapp]

BS! I have been equally critical of Trump when he earned that criticism....remember this? 19,000 Kurds slaughtered in northern Syria! I blamed Trump for that. I have also stretched as much as I could to cast some accolades to Biden, such as I have posted several times how his admin is continuing the tough stance on the Chicoms and their bogus claims of the South China Sea.

No, it is YOU irrational "orange man bad" types who have been one-sided.

As for Goosey's "?" just shows how out of touch he is, otherwise he would know what really happened.

What do you think happened?

I assumed Dawg80 was talking about this:

If so, I can’t figure out his point. Is he saying we shouldn’t have drone struck this vehicle carrying explosives?

Trump fans ignore the fact that he didn't do anything helpful in 4 years to push the withdrawal forward. It was going to be ugly regardless, but Biden did screw the pooch. Trump would've screwed it up too. Had Trump won and botched the withdrawal, the current Biden defenders would be hammering him. Had Trump gotten the same results that Biden got, he would've been defended by his fans and the mess would've been labeled "the cost of pulling out".

.

The border is evidence of how well Trump handled crisis situations. Contrast that with the way Biden handled the border. You have no reason to think a Trump withdrawal would have been anything like what Biden did or didn't do. For starters he would have never have pulled our troops BEFORE all the civilians were out. He also would not have given in to EVERY demand of the taliban rag heads and especially not giving up Bagram.

No reason except that fact that he did nothing but release 5000 Taliban fighters....come on...

...and then bombed the crap out of them when they killed an American soldier....come on...

Trump was a lot of things, but passive is not one of them.

Which brings us back to G's question...what would Trump have done differently? Would he have ramped up our troop presence? He had 4 years and yet he punted until he knew he'd be out of office? Come on...indeed.

He punted because he was advised to punt by the MILITARY.

What would have have done differently? Everything.

Oh yes, the guy who never deferred to his advisors deferred in this ONE instance...give me a break!

Who advised him on the border?

Who advised him on Israel?

Who advised him on dropping the MOAB?

Who advised him on stockpiling our oil supply?

The list is long.

Who knows? I do know he fired whoever disagreed with him.

Like I said, the list is long. He didn't make big decisions out of spite. He cared about the American worker and wanted our troops to come home. He would never had handled things the way that idiot Biden handled things.

And what's wrong with that?

Numerous Sleepy advisers should have risked their jobs instead of allowing the abominable policies of this administration to be implemented, especially regarding Afghanistan.

Rasmussen now shows 52% of voters believe Sleepy should resign over the botched Afghanistan withdrawal.

And Sleepy's numbers in the daily tracking poll have sunk more.
Approval Index at -23 (24% Strongly Approve to 47% Strongly Disapprove)
Overall 42% approval and 56% disapproval.

Very pro-Trump take.

Rasmussen. Lol.

Once the public realizes we are no longer spending 300 million USD a day fighting a war in Afghanistan and risking life and injury to American troops, they will come back around.

Yes, of course I am referring to this event. Just it's not all YOU have been told by Biden and the covering media.
