The Afghan debacle lasted two decades. The media spent two hours deciding whom to blame. by Margaret Sullivan
This tragedy deserves far more care in coverage than a political “winners and losers” story.

Because we went from being a democracy - in which some of us are always going to be irresponsible jerks, but most of us were basically adults - to being a nation of spoiled toddlers who think "freedom" means "I do whatever I want with no obligations to my fellow citizens." https://t.co/QhbBzyzmN7

uh I half agree with the underlying premise but I'd hardly say no one batted an eye at the Vietnamese refugees, it caused an immediate explosion in white supremacist organizing and nearly got David Duke elected governor of Louisiana https://t.co/3iAWhkuBYe

This is mainstream GOP stuff now. Completely irredeemable. https://t.co/rnj0mCxcQD

Dear @POTUS,

Don’t blame Trump. Be bigger than that. Be bigger than him. This was YOUR call to get out. It was the RIGHT call. America wants out. Defend it. Explain it. Take responsibility 4 mistakes made. And tell us how we finish it.

Best,

An American Who Supports Your Call

The people in my TL who do not know the difference between the war in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan underscores my point that we are not a serious nation capable of adult discussion about foreign policy. But we got what we demanded, so we own this one.https://t.co/2ZyiwyuwAQ

Let one refugee from Afghanistan come here and kill someone with his car and I suspect their sympathizers on the American right will dwindle.

My unsolicited two cents: the White House has been too focused on defending the policy logic of withdrawal and not focused enough on empathizing with and accepting responsibility for the human consequences—or laying out a way to minimize them moving forward. https://t.co/KH4MXZc9zi

About 50,000 Americans kill themselves every year, often by putting a gun in their mouths and pulling the trigger instead of clinging to an airplane to get out of the country. America wouldn't be nearly as great as it is if dissatisfied Americans didn't critique it relentlessly. https://t.co/GZqMia41kR

The "personal choice" argument around vaccines gets especially hard to accept when the surge in hospitalizations among unvaccinated people is turning into an in-person DDoS attack on the entire US hospital system

Sssooo they don’t believe in “big government” but they’re going to use their government power to punish small businesses. I hope Abbot gets hit by a bus https://t.co/vfyIKmwjq6

Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses
whose country we invaded twenty years ago
and then occupied
and then left with a horrible mess
while taking no responsibility

yearning to breathe free

I think we can safely credit W., Obama, Trump, and Biden for this past weekend. Good bipartisan effort on Afghanistan.

GOP: Joe Biden must resign for his incompetence in leaving Afghanistan!

Reality: Trump signed the 'peace' deal with the Taliban that called for US troop withdrawal starting May 1st of this year.

They don't want you to remember that.https://t.co/7Xf1YxJZqy
