Where the hell are the republicans and why are they not calling for Joe’s impeachment?
You know that Pelosi and company would be doing that if this were Trump.

I am all for an investigation, I dont know anything about those marines, but sure some level of investigation is most likely warranted. I dont know how you blame the president but sure willing to wait for the facts on the ground. Its fun to see the fake outrage after Trump grabbed his ankles in Syria, maybe if the taliban started drinking vodka some people would care less. If you want to bomb teh taliban out of some misplaced sense of ego, I dont like that the casualties are likely to be mostly civilian but sure if it will make everyone feel not disrespected bomb away, turn big rocks into little rocks.

After Aug 31st, Afghanistan will become an Airbnb. We become the guests. Want to stay longer? Pay the nice man, probably billions a day. What a mess. 8 months ago we had 2,500 there, everything was quiet, casualties were rare. Now look. The lack of planning is mind boggling here.

Just blame Trump. This was clearly his idea, despite not being president for the past 8 months.

Please pray for them. This very private thing is so public. The coming days and weeks are going to be hell.

I have never agreed much with your POV, but I used to respect what you posted.

Any respect I had is gone.

You are not a centrist. You never once withheld criticism of Trump, to be more “united”. You didn’t want to be “united” with Trump supporters, remember? You wanted Trump supporters to be shunned from society, remember? But now that this debacle is going on, where Marines are being blown up and innocents are being killed, we need to be “united” with your failure of a President. Hell no.

Meanwhile, you are excusing the attacks today, saying 13 dead isn’t so many. (It’s more than that). You are praising the Taliban. You went on and on about how we are all supposed to have empathy for poor Simon Biles because of her Olympics, and yet you yourself display no empathy for these people who were murdered and for their families.

Everything you wrote in this thread is hyper partisan, hypocritical, lacking of empathy, and frankly really disturbing. You are spreading misinformation and casting blame on everyone but the person responsible, Joe Biden.

No I will not support Biden. What he has done is evil and cannot be supported.

And no one is hung up on Kamala and her “sexuality.” Stop making up nonsense.

Fast forward to 2021, people are only concerned who is currently president when we are attacked.

How far we've fallen in 20 years.
