Democrats ruin everything
4 administrations, two from each party, were in charge and thus no one party to blame. to say otherwise is a lie, not true.
1246, it's not about the war but about how it was ended, that's entirely Biden admin
More tu quoque from 12:46
Bush tried to win the war. He almost hit the center of gravity.
First Battle of Swat
Obama gave it a 1/2 assed try, which did not aim at the center of gravity at all.
After 16 years of war with no progress, Trump had it right. The establishment had no intention of winning the war. So why be there?
Taliban Official Mullah Khairullah Khairkhwa Ahead Of American Withdrawal: Had We Known ISIS Was Based In Eastern Afghanistan, We Would Have Fought It; We Want Good Relations With Neighboring Muslim Countries Like Iran
Taliban official Mullah Khairullah Khairkhwa was interviewed on Iranian TV ahead of the American pullout of Afghanistan and its subsequent takeover by the Taliban, saying that the Taliban seeks good relations with its Muslim neighbors such as Iran. The interview was aired on July 21, 2021 on the Iranian English language channel Press TV with English subtitles and then again after the American withdrawal on August 17, 2021. Mullah Khirkhwa said that Iran and Afghanistan both were "damaged by the influence of foreign external forces." He also explained that had the Taliban known that ISIS was based in eastern Afghanistan it would have rid the area of their "filth," and explained that they practice a "deviant" form of Islam, according to which any Muslim, who does not agree with them is not a Muslim. Mullah Khairkhwa was the governor of Herat, before being arrested and held in Guantanamo. He was released in May 2014 in a prisoner exchange.

And 12:46 goes all copy and paste
It was supposed to be a celebration for a movement that opposes the Chinese Communist Party.
Instead, the swanky private party, held in June at the top of One World Trade Center, served as a platform for several of former President Donald Trump’s allies, including former advisor Steve Bannon and personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, to spew anti-government rhetoric and conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.
The invitation-only event was hosted by a couple of shadowy nonprofits, the Rule of Law Foundation and the Rule of Law Society. They are linked to Guo Wengui, a wealthy exiled businessman from China who is an ardent opponent of that nation’s ruling Communist Party.
CNBC obtained a copy of the invitation, which lists Guo, Bannon and the two new chairs of the nonprofit organizations as speakers for the event. You can view the invitation here.
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and former Trump national security advisor Mike Flynn, both known for pushing the false theory that claims the election was stolen from Trump, also spoke at the June 3 gathering.
“It’s like on the battlefield because this is warfare,” Flynn said at the event, which included lunch, dinner and afternoon tea. “This is warfare that we are in.”
reenville County Republican Party leader Pressley Stutts died Thursday morning after battling COVID-19 for nearly a month.
Stutts' death was confirmed by Dan Harvell, who represents the Anderson County Republican Party on the South Carolina Republican Party's executive committee.
“I really don’t have words to say about the imprint that he left on the political landscape in South Carolina," Harvell said. “He had the kind of personality that enabled him to get done what others couldn’t do.
“He was like the brother I never had.”
Stutts and his wife were rushed to the hospital Aug. 1 after his oxygen levels dropped. "The COVID has created double pneumonia in my lungs," he said in a Facebook post at the time.
He further said in his post that as a proponent for "freedom and liberty," no one should be forced to wear a mask and get vaccinated.
Stutts' health continued to deteriorate as the days went by. Late last week, he announced on Facebook that he was going on a ventilator.
A former chaplain for the Marines, Stutts became the executive committeeman of the Greenville County Republican Party during a July 22 meeting. Before that, he was most well-known as the leader of the Greenville Tea Party.
More off topic copy and paste by Fred or someone who copied his style.
Let Fred be, at this point it should be clear that he's 90 years old. Biden is what, 78? And he's already mentally handicapped (he cites the NY times and MSM)
he's literally the last guy to catch on. I hope he'll understand what's going on before it's his time.
