<<"Today Biden is weaker with Independents than Trump was by one % point, which does not bode well for 2022." Then he should fill some potholes and repair a few bridges.>> Halleh - fuckin - luhia to that, mister rat........ Get this - he's less popular with independents, 9 months removed from a narcissistic, shitbag fuckwit who openly tried to overthrow a verified secured general election. How does one fuck up an inherited no lose situation like that?!? Pity he has no control over the feral moggies he's trying to herd right now. What a clusterfuck.....and oh yeah by the way, don't the dems have control of the WH, House and Senate right now?!? Kinda like the first couple years of the Obama admin when they wanted to sing kumbya with the fascists at that time also. Only difference is today that their dumbfuckery is seriously going to lead to the downfall of the nation. If there's one thing the repubs can rely on, it's the complete predictability of the dem's ineptitude. What a shitshow 2.0.......

The point is that Biden did NOT have to honor any agreement with the Taliban. He used that as a pretext to do what he wanted. And you cannot just make up numbers like 12,000. The generals felt we could keep control with as little as 2500. There had been relative peace for 6 or 7 years. We were not in a HOT war. Filling pot holes is not the problem. It was HOW he handled the Haitian problem, using Trumps bullshit rather than abiding by our normal laws for refugees. Once again he used Trumps policies to do what he wanted.

"The Taliban was not the legal government to be negotiating with" They were the people we were fighting, so they were the people we should have negotiated with. The mistake was to exclude the government from the negotiations. = "Biden had no need to honor anything Pompeo signed with them" True; he cudda put 12,000 troops back into the country, and we could continue the fight for another 10 years. = "Today Biden is weaker with Independents than Trump was by one % point, which does not bode well for 2022." Then he should fill some potholes and repair a few bridges. = "Biden then went on to screw up the Haiti situation at the border." You might not like it, but we don't have open borders. Most of the refugees left Haiti 10 years ago. If he sends them to Haiti, instead of back to their homes in Brazil and Columbia, maybe they'll stop coming without authorization. You might have missed it, but the message was "do not come here."
