All I have to say is, we went far too easy on Trump over his four years in office. (Not my fault)
In reality .00000052% of voters say Biden should resign and .0000006% say he should be impeached.
I'm an independent. I don't think Biden should resign over this. If the words from Biden are correct that everybody was in total agreement for the plan to leave, then his security council really fucked up and need to be held accountable. There are some on that who should resign, and there should be a serious accounting from the State Department and DOD. The plan assumed too many positive outcomes and didn't include backup plans for what happened. People should have stood up and pushed back at the flaws in the plan. And as more and more comes out, we will see that the administration knew they had a shit sandwich on their hands but they continued to push on with the original plan as if it would all work out.
So there are people who should resign or be fired, but I don't think Biden should resign.
As for impeachment, that won't happen so long as the Democrats hold the House. I would hope that if (I think when but not gonna push that dragon) the Republicans take the House next year that they do not push an impeachment trial right down our throats. I don't think that's really good for the country. (and TBH I do not want Harris sitting in the Oval Office).
Out of curiosity, was the polling conducted at a Trump rally?
I don’t think resignation is warranted, nor would it accomplish anything.
I’m frankly dubious about the poll. I also doubt a significant number of voters are even paying attention to what’s going on in Afghanistan.
True. And for those calling for impeachment, I have yet to hear anyone demonstrate where Biden committed treason, a high crime, or misdemeanor. Botching a military operation is not an impeachable offense.
Well I can think of other reasons aside from the impeachment standard why maybe a president should resign. For example, if he spent his days on the White House lawn getting high instead of doing his job, I’d say he should resign.
But all he has really done in Afghanistan is to conclude the course that Trump was following, and Obama before him. Could he have done it better? Yeah, sure. I wish none of our people, nor innocent Afghans, had died. But that’s not a reason for him to resign.
I'm not talking about a resignation based on a poor military outcome or other such criticisms. Rather, the reasoning behind calls for impeachment itself.
You would have to prove that was the intent.
Conjecture.
I don’t know what Trump would have done, but I do think it was a mistake to let the Taliban push us out faster than was necessary to remove all our people and equipment. I see no special reason why we had to be done on August 31. We should have told the Taliban to back the fuck up and let us leave at our own pace. It wouldn’t have been “forever” the way Biden characterizes it. It probably would have just been a few more weeks.
I think this is going to be a major point used in the 22 election cycle, and we're going to hear about it over and over. I don't know how the Democrats can really defend against it. So far the only real defense I've heard is that we had to get out of Afghanistan and hey, we brought out 130K people. IMO that's not a good defense.
Yeah, I’m all for getting out of Afghanistan, but we didn’t need to be out by Monday, leaving people and equipment behind - not to mention the kind of desperation that causes people to cling to airplanes until they drop off.
Biden isn't going to resign and the House with Pelosi as speaker wouldn't impeach Biden if he was caught directing the terror attacks at the airport. Given who the Vice President is, we are probably better off with lyin Biden.
But the failure in Afghanistan was massive and the anger is real. Biden's compounded that anger by lying and trying to pretend this was a success. Every time he opens his mouth he digs himself a bigger hole.
Is it a crime to end a war? Is it a misdemeanor? While I agree that the withdrawal went badly I agree with ending the war. It's one of the few things that I agreed with Trump on. Do you guys really want Kamala that badly?
