Has our 52 - 48 Republican majority Senate codified Roe yet? Rhetorical question, obviously not.

They didn't do it during the several years that they had the majority for the past 50 years. Dems love to use Roe to fundraise and scare more gullible liberals into voting for them, rather than actually doing something to help working class people.

Is trump back on twatter?

Is trump back on twatter?

That's presumably from his own social media site. I forget the name. Truth something? Truther?

A new Watchdog report says Trump and Biden administration decisions drove collapse of Afghan security forces. It also casted significant blame on former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, who was reportedly described as being paranoid (he believed the West would remove him) and lack of planning contributed to the fall of the country's armed forces. He was profoundly ignorant too on the State of the Afghan Military. He replaced young officers with loyalists dubbed as "Old guard of Communists", including in the final week before the Taliban took over the country. That changed played a significant role in the fall of the country.

However, it's more than that. Trump and Biden's decisions demoralized the Afghan Military. This included the Doha deal Trump signed with the Taliban, which led to a significant reduction in US airstrikes against the Taliban. Biden's commitment to uphold the deal, which was deeply flawed, led to a disastrous implementation due to poor planning and well, a terrible deal. The goals were even too difficult to obtain and implemented metrics that showed success but didn't address the real problems:

The US repeatedly set goals for the Afghan military that were unattainable, implemented metrics that delivered success while obfuscating the real problems and poured resources into solutions that only exacerbated the issues they were meant to fix.

Unfortunately for Biden, he will likely get the majority of the blame despite a multitude of factors, some of which weren't his fault.

Yah that sounds about right. Still dumb of him to uphold the agreement and essentially castrate the ANA.

Interesting. I think a veteran got kicked off of OAN or Newsmax because he pointed out Trump’s deal in Doha and the anchor got mad.

Democrats: 2020 election the safest yet, no frauds done, Trump wants to take power and destroy democracy *hires Twitter, Facebook, YouTube to start cancelling people questioning elections and cancels trump*

Also Democrats: 2016 election was interference by Russia. Election fraud. TRUMP NOT MY PRESIDENT!!!!

That about sums it up for American politics and democrats.

Who claimed election fraud in 2016?
Interference yes - but that was proven conclusively; so why pretend it is on the same level as the Cyber Ninja Bamboo Wifi ?

Both 2020 and the 2016 elections were free and fair. However, only one group of people stormed the capital to overturn the election and it wasn’t Hillary supporters.

Before you bring up the antifa riots, I’ve always condemned it. Feel free to ask anyone on this site.

It would’ve been cooler if it was a March of a million people on the capital instead of a bunch of idiots wasting our shot at change

A change of what?

Do you think Trump could get a million to go to Washington?…..then again…in his mind a thousand people is a million.

The fact that we managed to get what we did get because Trump is embarrassing

[Thermodolia]

It would’ve been cooler if it was a March of a million people on the capital instead of a bunch of idiots wasting our shot at change

A change of what?

The entire system. The fact that poor people are punished severely for being poor and getting chucked in prison because they can’t afford high paying lawyers.

The fact that the rich get away with almost everything yet for us we get prison time.

Do you think Trump could get a million to go to Washington?…..then again…in his mind a thousand people is a million.

No I’m saying that a million Americans irrespective of Trump should have marched on the capital yet what we got was a rabble of Trumps fan club.
