I will hold Biden accountable for his failures, and this past week was full of them. But the notion I should sit and reflect on my not preferring Trump is laughable.

The government can’t love you, and when it works from the premise that it can, folly or tyranny follow.

There are a lot of people horny for more killing tonight who won’t be the ones paying the price for that act. I don’t want to hear any more from people who got us here through their “optimistic” estimates and “mission driven” recommendations.

2001, 9 months into GOP presidency: 3000 civilians killed by terrorists in NYC. GOP: “Can’t blame him, too early in term, let’s come together.”

2021, 8 mos into Dem presidency, 13 soldiers killed by terrorists in war zone: GOP: “HIS FAULT! RESIGN! IMPEACH!”

No principles. Ever.

The alternative to withdrawal from Afghanistan was not “endless occupation” but open-ended presence. Occupation is imposed, presence invited. Unless you think we are occupying Japan, Germany, & South Korea. And yes, withdrawal was the problem. https://t.co/FceI02wWNF

Did I miss the part where the afghans invited us? Because I’m old enough to remember when this whole thing started and not even the Bush admin was claiming we were invited. I also don’t remember anyone inviting us once the withdrawal was announced, and trust me, if we had been, Fox News if no one else would have covered it. They didn’t. Why don’t you just admit you want us to stay there forever because at the end of the day that’s what this comes down to, and I think you know that.
