Anti-Trumpers love fabricating "facts" to suite their indefensible positions on many issues. And they're completely unapologetic. It's common knowledge that the CV19 vaccine came out during Trump's tenure, but these idiots deny it vehemently. They'd probably claim the sun is cold if Trump said it was hot. I've never seen such widespread cognitive dissonance as we're seeing today. Many of these Dem/liberal nut cases would have been institutionalized 40 years ago. I often wonder if Reagan's dismantling of the mental health system created the current situation. This craziness is completely without precedence in my lifetime.

The problem I have was pulling the troops before all our civilians were out. Not to mention leaving all our equipment and intel. The American people agree with pulling out of Afghanistan, however President Biden did so in the worst way possible. Heck, we're lucky he gave up a few hours of his vacation. Think about it, we have an existential crisis going on and he goes back to vacationing. Where is our leader?

Petro-dollar system goes, the dollar and the US economy is toast.
I'm never wrong bra. I am not going back to the big one in the early 1900's or even WW2. This was Bush 2's big fail and it just got dragged out for 20 long nasty years. Know how much roads and bridges we could have built here with all that wasted money honey? It was a total fail with or without Joe bros. We lose every war we start and break countries and gotta pay to fix them and we never do we make them worse.

Time to give it up and use nukes duke.

Why are those on the left still making excuses for Biden*, it's not like they don't know that he's been a massive failure in everything he's done...ever.

He talked the talk but didn’t walk the walk, as the saying goes. Typical DC swamp creature who promises everything and delivers nothing.
You mean except for the part where he said....LITERALLY said "the buck stops with me"?

LOL. wild.

"Brought on by ...........Donald Trump"????

Liberals really believe this and keep telling themselves this, as they simply cannot face the fact that Biden is an unmitigated disaster for the US and the world in general.

What do libs do (as they can never admit they are wrong, or they would be doing that all the time)? They blame others!

Now if liberals cannot govern and only blame others for their personal disasters, why in the hell do they seek office and why do people vote for them??

Leaders lead and take responsibility; those who are incompetent and incapable pass the buck and blame others.

That critique makes no sense because we left the equipment for the Afghan army to defend itself, which it did not do.

I guarantee you that people would blame Biden for "leaving the Afghan army defenseless" if we left nothing behind for them to fight.

Second, I bet the reason that we didn't evacuate people earlier is because of the signal that would have sent the existing Afghan government that we expected them to lose. In that case, Kabul could have fell even sooner, leading to an even worse situation. That being said, I think that risk was probably worth taking.

In the end, the vast majority of Americans support withdrawal. I fully expect Biden's approval numbers to increase once the dust settles in a month or so.

People are trying so hard to blame Biden that their arguments don't even make sense.
