Though you are the fool when you leave out Trump's role in negotiations with the Taliban. I'm leaving nothing out. Trump did not screw up the withdrawal from Afghanistan... He GOT IT RIGHT... There was no reason for it be screwed up... other than Biden AND HIS TEAM screwing it up It is only BIDEN that has screwed this up... because Biden is a screw up... an incompetent... always has been. From before the convention: Don't underestimate Joe's ability to (expletive) things up August 15: Even Biden’s Allies Think He Screwed Up Afghanistan August 17: Obama Warned Us About Joe Biden The media making their obligatory swipe at Trump... also fails completely... The competent guy who wanted us out of there... was getting us out without screwing it up. The incompetent guy... with no brain... who didn't want to leave... while pretending he "had to" leave [because Trump tells Biden how to do his job?]... could have easily screwed it up just because he got it wrong... He gets lots of stuff wrong. But, this he didn't get wrong because "he got it wrong"... He screwed it up... because he DID NOTHING when things had to be done to prevent what we have. He had lots of time. He just didn't do the job... AT ALL... But, given he's senile and doddering... maybe the staff could take care of it ? Maybe they COULD... if he had a staff that weren't just as brain dead as he is...

First I do follow knowledgeable people because they are the teachers... That's actually not how the world works... And, it does nothing at all to help resolve your issue... with not knowing what's true... as the same problems exist in whether or not what they teach is right ? Or, even remotely close to right ? Most of it isn't... For most of them... if they were actually good at $whatever$ they wouldn't be teachers ? What they are teaching you... is stuff they didn't figure out... but stuff OTHER PEOPLE did... ? And the teachers also mostly can't tell what's right, anyway... they're just doing what someone else said to do ? It's those other people that are the only ones worth listening to... since they're the ones who do actually know how to figure stuff out ? Why aren't they teaching you how to tell what is true and what is not ? Why would you "follow" anyone... who can't ? Otherwise why attend an engineer college if you think you are capable of figuring everything out yourself. Yeah. That's what Bill Gates thought, too... and he was right... The education system is mostly dumb, and it tends to reward participants for agreeing to be made dumb. Good luck with that on your resume. There's no luck involved. My resume is packed with things I figured out for myself... that no one else had figured out before... And, most of that isn't just because I'm smart enough to do that ? It's because I'm smart enough to not be forced into the mold that intends to apply limits to everyone... all others... and mostly succeeds. You choose your own limits... including that allowing others to choose them for you is a choice.
