Why do the LIES keep being told?

Who cares what the actual dollar figure was? The fact is, pretty much all of it was gifted to the Taliban by Joe Biden.

Is the 13 dead soldiers a lie, also?

Biden didn't set up the timeline for withdrawl. Trump did.

And, how in the hell are we supposed to get all that material and equipment that was left there back here, and where would we store it?

It should have all been destroyed in place and rendered unusable. The Pentagon knew for a fact that the Taliban was going to end up controlling Afghanistan, they neglected to do what they should have done.

Then why LIE about the $85 Billion.

That Florida Rep. Byron Donalds was lying about the $85 Billion yesterday on FoxNews.
Why do (R) continue to spread this LIE?

It's irrelevant whether Biden fucked up a little or fucked up a lot. The truth is that he fucked up, period. And now he and his sympathetic media defenders are trying to marginalize what a piss-poor job he did, and continues to do on a daily basis.
 
What does that have to do with you knowingly ingesting lies to help drive your rage?

Personally, I don't give a flying fuck if it's an exaggeration or an outright lie. Any means necessary to get that asshole out of office and branded as "the worst president in history" are justifiable and ok with me.

But he didn't really fuck it up. Trump, to his credit, brokered the deal with an unreasonable timeline.

That said, those in Afghanistan were warned repeatedly for months before the withdrawal to get out. They didn't listen. Being a fan of personal responsibility my sympathy for them is little to none.

As a matter of fact, as a vet, it pisses me off that they didn't listen and as a result US soldiers lives were risked trying to evacuate them.

Who branded him as the worst president in history?...this should be good, lol.
 
We did provide Afghanistan with over $80 million in training & equipment.
How much of that did we bring home?

If we left these savages anything of military use it was a major blunder.
Saying it was less billions instead of $85 doesn't negate the fact we armed a bunch of killers wiping their asses with bare hands & living in the 3rd century with a much deadlier arsenal than they ever dreamed they could possess.

Does that make it OK since it may be less than previously reported?
 
It's a New Republican talking point so of course it is a lie re-enforced by Faux not News and embraced by the herd.

Most of the useful weapons the Taliban gained was the abandoned weapons from the Afghan Army. In twenty years we spend nearly 85 billion arming and training their Army. The over all goal is to blame it all on Biden of course. The accomplished liars at Faux yelled loud enough that most people ignored the fact that it was Trumpyberra's refusal to enforce the conditions of our conditional withdrawal that gave the Taliban the upperhand in the Afghan civil war, which was raging as we were leaving.
