That is true. Except it was 11-months under Trump and 7-months under Biden during the draw-down.

True. Except Newt deserves half the credit for the Balanced Budget.

Wrong about Trump causing inflation. Biden's wild spending caused inflation, up to 9%, then it came down.
Trump had to take the economy from a "borrow and spend" big-government economy to a normal capitalist economy. Trump-45 had $4T Budgets until Covid. Biden kept the ~$7T Budgets spending and borrowing way too much.

Wrong again. Gas and eggs are coming down. As more illegals get deported I expect all prices to drop due to less demand. Trump is about to add car tariffs, so there may be another dip until the dust settles and extra revenue comes in and the deficit gets lower. Do not underestimate the DOGE effect on the Budget, Republicans should be able to cut a $trillion or two off the Budget.

No as illegals leave prices will go up because now the employer has to pay American wages

I notice all your replies are standard Republican comebacks. Wrong. Like the Newt thing. Did you give Pelosi credit for MAGA in 2017? Did you give Republicans credit for inventing NAFTA or did you give Bill Clinton ALL the credit for NAFTA?

So why give Newt half the credit for Bill's economy but not give Republicans the credit they deserve for inventing NAFTA?

How about this? IF no classified was discussed, then release all texts sent. They claim no classified information was discussed, no classified material was discussed so released then just the ALL TEXTS SENT! NOT an annotated manuscript. IF on the other hand classified material was discussed then those present at the meeting must face criminal charges for violations of the National Security Act.

That’s CYA bullshit. Any action against the journalist is another step down the road to fascism.

So Biden rode Trump's coat-tails for 7-months after Trump negotiated the deal.
So "Trump negotiated an 18-month ceasefire with the Taliban" (is a more accurate statement)

Only if you are a political idiot. The Taliban were going to chase us out of Afghanistan no matter who was president when we left. They wanted to be seen as running us out of the country.

So this ONE suicide bomber, was to cause some havoc while we were leaving. What you might imagine is that Trump would have retaliated if they did that to him? Or would he have turned everyone back around and stayed?

 

[konradv]

You can criticize all you want. My point is, you are standing in sand. I’ll hear you and your noise, but I’m not going to listen to you.

Trump is leading the country down the road to fascism.

We would have to ask the battalion commandeer why he told them not to engage. I have my guesses but you're putting that on Biden?

“Pentagon employees were notified as recently as a week ago not to use Signal for government communications due to security risks.

NPR's Tom Bowman reported Tuesday that all agency employees received an email a week before warning about vulnerabilities in the encrypted app, which was used by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other leading national security officials to discuss war plans on March 15, with a journalist added to the group chat by national security adviser Mike Waltz, perhaps unknowingly.”

There’s no limit to the gross incompetence of this failed ‘administration.’

So, according to Malcolm Nance on twitter the Kremlin has everything from a certain dimwit tRumpling's phone pertaining to a certain Signal chat and the *administration is planning to strike Iran as a distraction.

Yes! The pee pee tapes will also be revealed!

The Taliban were honoring the ceasefire.
The suicide bomber was ISIS.
Trump already said he would have renegotiated to stay in Bagram

I totally agree. Mr. Goldberg was doing his job. Whoever invited him into the chat should be fired and then prosecuted for violations of the National Security Act. Walz should resign, he is albatross around 47's neck.

I think it was a political decision. But until I know for certain I'm not guessing. No one stepped forward.
Someone on TV said that the Taliban gave permission to shoot the ISIS bomber.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

I don't acknowledge anything until all the facts are collected.
And when I see the libtards squeal, I know what was done was good.

Well, they were using it, and they shouldn't have been playing so loosely with our nation's security.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Trump is leading the country down the road to fascism.

The fascism I felt was during the last admin when US Citizens were being threatened with arrests and imprisonment for trying to work while people seeking to take part in mass protests were not. Or, how about people being denied employment for not taking vaccines?

 

[whitehall]

It doesn't take much for the mainstream media and the dying democrat party to become "aghast" these days.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

All these years, I never realized that the 13 people who died in Afghanistan were all killed by one suicide bomber. As if Biden could have done anything about that.

And like Republicans here would say anything if 13 people died on Trump's watch the same way. They would not make a big deal out of it. Especially if it was a ******* suicide bomber??? I had the impression that all over Afghanistan, 13 people total were murdered trying to exit the country. OMG, one suicide bomber?

Aside from that, he had zero other fatalities? Seems like he did a great job getting us out of Iraq. Too bad Trump didn't get us out so he could show us how he would have done it better.

And Trump attempts to defend the indefensible with lies and cowardly deflections.

How does that temporary situation compare to the current attempt to construct an imperial presidency? We won’t be citizens; we’ll be subjects.

 

[0311]

The dishonest right attempts to defend the indefensible with lies and cowardly deflections.

These are the same people who went bat shit crazy over HRC's using a private server. Never the fact Ivanka used a personal email.

But now, a group chat on a public forum and they say there is nothing here, never mind. Gabert is the D.N.I. Her ******* job is to protect National Security. Her job is to protect classified information and classified material. Why didn't the Director of the F.B. ******* I. stop the chat?

The National Security Advisor should have left the room and report what was going on. This is what happens when an incompetent Narcissistic Sociopath who is a pathological liar appoints people with zero experience. This kind of shit did not happen under Biden.

 

[whitehall]

The Pentagon passes the buck to the Defense secretary? Don't these admirals and generals have enough sense to keep their mouths shut before the investigation is over?

 

[conserveguy877]

Where was all this fake news outrage when sleepy joe screwed up Afghanistan to where troops actually did not make it home?

"Sleepy Joe" rolled the ReNaziKlans on the Debt Ceiling. He was stuck with a treaty that was agreed to under Chetolini.

There were gross violations of the National Security Act. You people flipped the **** out over HRC's private emails. NOT the same thing at all.

It was Felon47 that got 5,000 Taliban Fighters releases, one of whom is now the President of Afghanistan.
