What they are missing, is comparing the way Democrats and Republicans handle mistakes.
Democrats acknowledge mistakes, which go towards that mistake not happening again because they have &quot;learned&quot; from it.
Republicans deny the mistake was made and put all their efforts into rewriting history to cover up their mistakes.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[  
 Democrats only acknowledge others&#039; mistakes; never there own. Sans Biden blaming everyone but himself. He may have ended his speech with &quot;The buck stops here&quot;; but what he really said his whole speech was &quot;Shit rolls down hill, and I am at the bottom of a very deep valley&quot;.&nbsp;

  which go towards that mistake not happening again because they have &quot;learned&quot; from it. 

 History strongly disagrees with you. Otherwise there wouldn&#039;t have been two impeachment attempts by the Democrats on Trump. Democrats would have learned from Harry Reid&#039;s mistake on changing Senate rules; by taking judicial nominees nuclear. Seems Democrats like pain; because they want to desperately do away with the filibuster. Midterms will remind them the folly of their ways; when they are again the minority party- and will need every Senate rule (including the filibuster) to try and stop Republicans. How many countries did Obama destabilize? Libya, Yemen, Ukraine, and Syria. Think would have learned after the first one that destabilizing a country is bad for their neighbors, and bad for world in general. I am sure Europe is looking forward to Biden&#039;s Afghan refugee surge; after forcing their neighbors to shut down their borders to stop Obama&#039;s middle east refugee surge.

  Republicans deny the mistake was made and put all their efforts into rewriting history to cover up their mistakes. 

 Democrat revisionist history is already underway trying to cast the blame on Trump for Biden&#039;s Afghan fuck up on the withdrawal and evacuation. CRT ring any bells? Democrats never try to rewrite history to cover up their mistakes. /S  &nbsp; ]]></description>

Sorry that dog won&#039;t hunt. From your article.
&quot;one of Biden&rsquo;s biggest mistakes might have been to adhere to the deal former President Donald Trump made with the Taliban rather than set his own terms and timeline.&quot;
Fail number 1
&quot;But while Biden does, indeed, hold his share of responsibility for that collapse, he wasn&rsquo;t inaccurate when he pointed out in his news conference Thursday that the architecture of the hasty U.S. withdrawal and the inevitable deadly chaos that has followed was constructed by the previous commander in chief.&quot;
The only architecture was the agreement with the Taliban. Biden and his administration&#039;s method, timeline, and planned steps were NOT of Trump&#039;s doing and totally backward in intelligent execution. Period
Fail number 2
And number three isn&#039;t going to be pretty.

&nbsp;Biden&rsquo;s train of thought is in question.
You&#039;re being very kind. Biden has shown a train of thought that is very often incoherent and ignorant. He again proved it yesterday, by getting Old Testament &quot;religious&quot; and erroneously comparing Isaiah 6 to our military. His handlers should have known better and done some research. They made him look even more foolish and ignorant with that blunder.

monday morning or arm chair quarterbacking will ALWAYS find a way to better do things .
What do i think would have been a better way with how things shaped ?
the cue would have taken place in april with the stated date of departure .&nbsp; from that time on , us citizens and allies such as those that worked for the military would have been encouraged to get out of dodge asap and not wait to the last min .
&nbsp;the use of all available resourses still on the ground to expidite the removal of people should have been prioritized , as the military presence in outlaying areas closed , the people should have been right in front of them for evac .
&nbsp;the closing of bagram before an evac of civilians and allies&nbsp; i feel was a mistake of monumental proportions since it was the best avenue to base evacuations or rescues&nbsp; from that were truely secure. that does not preclude it wouldnt come under attack or that actions would not be opposed .
I am also keeping in mind even under the best of conditions an evac such as this and what we are now seeing , is at best a SNAFU, what we actually have is a SNAFU that has turned into a major clusterfuck that is and has turned into a monumental international embarrasment .
&nbsp;just a 2 cent opinion.....and they all vary.

President Joe Biden, speaking with reporters outside the White House on June 24. &ldquo;Those who helped us are not going to be left behind.&rdquo;
Whoops
Of course, if Joe Biden hadn&#039;t forced a premature evacuation of Bagram Air force base because of his decision to implement an arbitrary cap on troops, this might have been possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Democrat revisionist history is already underway trying to cast the blame on Trump for Biden&#039;s Afghan fuck up on the withdrawal and evacuation.
Democrats have blamed everyone back to Jesus accept Biden and Obama for the clusterfuck and deadly evacuation in Afghanistan.&nbsp; All Presidents inherit what would be considered messes and any decisions made by prior Presidents.&nbsp; How Presidents chooses to move forward is what he can fairly be judged on.&nbsp; Blaming others, Trump, American citizens, Afghan soldiers, etc reflects the lack of character to take responsibility for decisions made.&nbsp; Using escape goats to cover your own ass are not admirable qualities of a President.
Biden is the commander now.&nbsp; &nbsp;He is responsible for the outcome of the decisions made by him. What he has shown us is that he is not capable of handling the pressures and demands of the Presidential Office.&nbsp; What I see is a tired and defeated man only 7 months into his Presidency.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 Ross Wilson says Taliban will allow Americans to leave after military withdrawal
  https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/569396-official-says-us-working-to-ensure-people-can-leave-afghanistan-post 
 Because of outsourcing, Bagram had about 1,500 combat troops and 10,000 contractors all of whom were extracted in July.
 It just takes too many people to keep open.
 There just isn&#039;t a perfect scenario.
 
 Just my 2 cents

Oh for fuck sakes, how about a thought that has been taken to it&rsquo;s realistic conclusions?
Lets talk about a fucking thought, none of which were used by Biden on his withdrawal plan. Why give up Bagman Airfield, which is not full of choke points to exit people and easier defend.
Do you think it just maybe might have drawn some attention when thousands of civilians start silently disappearing while giant military planes are coming and going at a rapid pace?&nbsp;&nbsp;
Who gives a shit what attention it would have drawn, they knew we had plans to exit, what did they think we were kidding!
&lsquo;Fuck You Afghanis, you may have been indispensable yesterday but now it&rsquo;s time for you to die by public execution in the former football stadium?&rsquo;
Biden&#039;s plan is going to accomplish that, we agree on that.&nbsp;
How about not taking the military out first, gee that&#039;s a &quot;Oh for fuck sakes&quot; moment. Get the Afghan&#039;s that helped us and US Citizens out first, remove our military assets, then the military and destroy all the equipment left over on our way out so it can&#039;t be reversed engineered to be used against us.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

Yeah like they did when pursuing impeaching a certain President when they knew there wasn&#039;t a snowball&#039;s chance in hell it would remove him from office.


You seem confused on how the American government works.&nbsp; The House doesn&#039;t remove a President, the Senate does.&nbsp; The House&#039;s job is the impeachment.
Your statement is equivalent to asking why detectives investigate when there is such a small chance of finding the suspect.
The answer, is, BECAUSE THAT IS THEIR JOB.]]></description>

 Of course, if Joe Biden hadn&#039;t forced a premature evacuation of Bagram Air force base because of his decision to implement an arbitrary cap on troops, this might have been possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 Sonny, you need to get informed.&nbsp; Except at the height of the surge, troop level limits cause an increase in reliance on
 contractors which in my opinion are the scourge of the current armed forces.
 Prior to withdrawing from Bagram, by January the Trump Administration had 2,500&nbsp; combat troops,
 1,500 authorized security forces (armed contractors) and 18,000 other contractors (unarmed).
  Troop levels are down, but US says over 18,000 contractors remain in Afghanistan | Stars and Stripes 
 BY June any airframe of value had left the country.
 Defending a base the size of Bagram required 3 shifts of 7,000 and was routinely under rocket attack.
 Remaining was untenable after Trump &amp; Pompeo unofficially recognized the Taliban as the legitimate government.
 btw there is no arbitrary cap on troop levels, it was promised to the Taliban by Trump and Pompeo
 note the date of the article
  US troop numbers in Afghanistan drop to lowest level since 2001 | Stars and Stripes

You have created a fantasy land in your head in order to justify Donald Trump. There was more than enough evidence in both impeachments to force Trump out. He was saved by boot licking Republicans in the Senate.&nbsp;
they forgot that Trump can remove any ambassador, for any reason, at any time during his presidency
Whatever that means to you, it was not the brunt of the case against him in Ukraine. He tried to bribe and or extort the president of Ukraine into announcing that they were going to conduct an investigation into Joe Biden. This was proven by the impeachment managers and has been all but confirmed and reinforced by John Bolton, the one who was &quot;in the room&quot;.&nbsp;
The second impeachment was proved by Trump&#039;s own words while he conducted his insane &quot;stop the steal&quot; campaign. He incited his cult followers to come to Washington and disrupt the national legislature in order to &quot;stop the steal&quot;.&nbsp;
Even Mitch McConnell said that Trump was personally responsible for the Jan 6th riot, and the only thing that should save Trump was the fact that he was already out of office.&nbsp;
[Deleted] But you are going to lose because you are on the wrong side of history. Its just a question of when.&nbsp;]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[&quot;[Mike Lindell is] a patriot, a wonderful man, a man who puts his guts into everything. A man that they don&#039;t treat properly. He&#039;s smart; he loves his country so much,&quot; Trump said, to cheers from the crowd. &quot;He&#039;s willing to die for this country.&quot;

&quot;I watched him over the last week at his symposium, which was really amazing, some of the people he had were incredible, incredible people. Mike Lindell!&quot; Trump continued. &quot;True! I&#039;ll tell you, true. It&#039;s true. He had some people up there, really - they were scientists, they were political scientists and beyond. They were incredible, what they said and what they understand.&quot;&nbsp;

Trump praised Lindell like this AFTER Lindell&#039;s symposium where he was supposed to produce proof of election theft blew up in his face and was completely ridiculed even by Lindell&#039;s own supporters.&nbsp;
And you think Trump should be president. [Deleted]]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[  https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/10/21/fact-check-joe-biden-leveraged-ukraine-aid-oust-corrupt-prosecutor/5991434002/ 

  In 2016, and with the support of other world leaders,  Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion of U.S. aid unless Ukraine&rsquo;s leaders fired the country&rsquo;s top prosecutor,  Viktor Shokin, for being too soft on corruption⁠⁠&mdash;which&nbsp; they did .&nbsp; 
  Before Shokin was fired, he had been conducting an investigation of Burisma, and Hunter Biden allegedly was a subject. But the investigation had been&nbsp; inactive &nbsp;for over a year by the time Joe Biden pushed for Shokin&rsquo;s ouster. 

   https://www.forbes.com/sites/lisettevoytko/2019/09/25/heres-what-happened-with-the-bidens-and-ukraine/?sh=2d9b70cb3938  
  Two years after leaving office, Joe Biden couldn&rsquo;t resist the temptation last year to brag to an audience of foreign policy specialists about the time as vice president that he strong-armed Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor. 
  In his own words, with video cameras rolling,&nbsp; Biden described how &nbsp;he threatened Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in March 2016 that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if it didn&rsquo;t immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin. 
  &ldquo;I said, &lsquo;You&rsquo;re not getting the billion.&rsquo; I&rsquo;m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: &lsquo;I&rsquo;m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you&rsquo;re not getting the money,&rsquo;&rdquo; Biden recalled telling Poroshenko. 
  &ldquo;Well, son of a bitch, he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time,&rdquo; Biden told the Council on Foreign Relations event, insisting that President Obama was in on the threat. 
   https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/436816-joe-bidens-2020-ukrainian-nightmare-a-closed-probe-is-revived  
   I said, I&rsquo;m telling you, you&rsquo;re not getting the billion dollars. I said, you&rsquo;re not getting the billion. I&rsquo;m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: I&rsquo;m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you&rsquo;re not getting the money. Well, son of a bitch. (Laughter.) He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.  Well, there&rsquo;s still&mdash;so they made some genuine substantial changes institutionally and with people. But one of the three institutions, there&rsquo;s now some backsliding.

                <description><![CDATA[ This is from your own fricking link.&nbsp;

 Our rating: False
   Based on our research, the claim that Joe Biden&nbsp;threatened to withhold $1 billion from Ukraine to save his son&#039;s job is FALSE.   
  The&nbsp;then-vice president leveraged aid dollars to persuade the country to oust its top prosecutor as part of anti-corruption efforts endorsed by other international players that were unrelated to his son, Hunter Biden.

                <description><![CDATA[My comment has nothing to do with Hunter - so, the comment you just posted is correct. &nbsp;
HOWEVER, Biden told Ukraine he was going to withhold $1B UNLESS the prosecutor was fired. &nbsp;That is a bribe/threat coming from the VP of the U.S regardless of the reason.
Believe it or not, the prosecutor was actually going to try to expose Hunter - as a side note. &nbsp;But, he got fired, through bribery, before he could get to that task.
Yeah - doing OK. &nbsp;Just getting frustrated with all the COVID variants playing hell with our normal, everyday lives. &nbsp;

                <description><![CDATA[Anyone dumb enough to trust the Taliban deserves what they get. The Taliban do not control all of Afghanistan. They will go back to their forever civil war. Al Qaeda, ISIS/ISIL, and ISIS-K (I am sure more factions will spring up) are all in Afghanistan again. I am sure they will be willing to conduct terror attacks; and grab hostages of whatever country or corporation is stupid enough to try and set up shop in Afghanistan.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[
Biden has ended all but one of Trump&#039;s EO&#039;s/EA&#039;s. Why did he leave this one in place?
If Biden didn&#039;t like what Trump negotiated he could have renegotiated with the Taliban. He didn&#039;t.&nbsp;
He could have decided to listened to our NATO allies and remain in Afghanistan. He didn&#039;t.&nbsp;
He could have developed a withdrawal and evacuation plan. He obviously didn&#039;t because just 6 short weeks ago he was still talking about how strong the Afghan military was; and that there was no guarantee that the Afghan government would fall. He didn&#039;t change his tune until Kabul fell; and acted shocked at the outcome. Unfortunately many listened to him and stayed put; they won&#039;t make the same mistake of trusting Biden again.
Biden did unilaterally extend the withdrawal deadline to 8/31; but pulled out US forces early. That is all on Biden no amount of &quot;But Trruuummmmppppp!!!!!&quot; will ever change that.
He could have retaken Kabul. Instead he chose to trust the Taliban for security for the US forces; and trusted them to allow US citizens and those that aided us through their checkpoints and to reach the airport. We all know how well that worked out.
He could have sent US troops beyond the parameter to get out US civilians and those that aided us like our NATO allies did. He didn&#039;t.
He could have extended the deadline until every last US citizen was out. Instead he has the US military turning tail and fleeing against a much weaker opponent; abandoning thousands of US citizens and those that aided us.&nbsp;
It isn&#039;t Trump our NATO allies our censoring in their chambers of Parliament; it is Biden. Even they realize who is to blame for this debacle. They won&#039;t make the same mistake twice either.
Bottom line is Biden royally fucked up the withdrawal and evacuation, and not all of the TDS driven &quot;But Trruuummmmppppp!!!!!!&quot;s in the world are going to change it.

You&#039;d&nbsp; think that would stop the &quot;Biden had no choice&quot; whining, but it won&#039;t.&nbsp;&nbsp;
It&#039;s this bizarre alternate reality where Biden deserves all the credit for brining the troops home, but can&#039;t be criticized because Trump forced him to bring the troops home.&nbsp;

Like Trump cancelling the Paris Agreement, the Iran deal and the landmark Intermediate-Range nuclear Forces Treaty with Russia?
America&#039;s reputation isn&#039;t built layer by layer, decade after decade
by new POTUSs coming in and tearing down everything done before them.
Neither the Congress or the office of the POTUS should be run that way.
Our allies should be able to depend on us keeping our word.
Trump shattered norms.
It&#039;s time to go back to honoring our commitments no matter how distasteful that is to one party.
We really need to get back to pre Newt Gingrich hatefulness and anything goes politics.]]></description>
