bobo remember gunny the ist administrator here?...he told me you were a dipshit....he was right then and he would be now...and by the way bobo i have said trump is no uniter many a time....like i said you dont retain things,i dont know how you got through school....
Nope. And it's crazy you still say that. That will be on your grave stone Harry. "Harry Both sides are just as bad Dresden"
"I think Bill Clinton was a great president,’" Trump said in the interview that was conducted shortly after the 2008 presidential election on NY1's "Inside City Hall" program.
"You know, you look at the country then. The economy was doing great. Look at what happened during the Clinton years. I mean we had no war, the economy was doing great, everybody was happy. A lot of people hated him because they were jealous as hell,’" Trump said.
And Gore should have won in 2000 but Bush stole it. If you don't see it Harry, you're a Notsee. And I KNOW you don't see it.
But instead you let Bush steal the election and lie us into a war.
You still think Democrats are just as bad? Wow! Sucker. Welcome to Iraq 2.0 or as some might call it, WW3.

i voted for clinton twice dipshit.....yea i thought he was ok too....
What made you not like Gore? That's where you went wrong.
Trump was a Democrat too until a black man won. Was that when you left us? Oh I forgot you're blacker than Obama. BUT, you sure did fall for Republicans bullshit. Enough to leave us and reward them.
Harry, I've lost almost all respect for you if you still can't pick a side and that side is my side. You're a Notsee. I lost a lot of respect for a lot of my friends and family too but I won't tell them. Shame on you guys. Seriously it saddens and sickens me.

I’ll just leave this right here.
How many prosthetic limbs blown off by Iranian backed proxies would that money buy?With the money wasted on this one plane only, this is how many kids’ daycare could have been paid for a whole year.
Daycare for a Year vs. One F-15E
The average annual cost of full-time daycare in the U.S. is approximately $11,000–$12,000 per child (national average across all care types and ages).
The Math:
|Scenario |Kids Covered |
|---------------------------------|-------------------|
|At $11,000/year |~7,900 children|
|At $12,000/year |~7,250 children|
|At $15,000/year (infant care avg)|~5,800 children|
To put it simply:
One F-15E ≈ Full-time daycare for roughly 7,000–8,000 children for an entire year.
That’s enough to cover every child in a mid-sized American city.
That’s how money gets wasted in war.

Here’s the List of Billions in Military Equipment the US Left Behind for the Taliban
The Taliban will likely use this weaponry to oppress women, LGBT people, and others under Sharia law.
It’s always frustrating to read about the many ways the federal government wastes our money, from millions spent putting lizards on treadmills to thousands spent on art classes in Kenya. But regular government waste pales in comparison to the appalling reality that the US just left billions in taxpayer-purchased military equipment behind in Afghanistan—to fall right into the hands of the Taliban.The Times of London reports that the US simply abandoned a truly astounding arsenal of military equipment and weapons. This reportedly includes up to 22,174 Humvee vehicles, nearly 1,000 armored vehicles, 64,363 machine guns, and 42,000 pick-up trucks and SUVs. So, too, the list of allegedly abandoned weaponry includes up to 358,530 assault rifles, 126,295 pistols, and nearly 200 artillery units. Oh, and the Taliban will likely inherit state-of-the-art military helicopters, warplanes, and other aircraft from the US, too.
The US sent this equipment to Afghanistan to arm the Afghan security forces/alternative government we unsuccessfully sought to prop up. (That government has now collapsed and the Taliban is retaking control.) While some of our equipment may have been taken with US personnel when they fled Afghanistan, much of it is difficult to transport, and most of it likely remained behind amid a chaotic withdrawal. As a result, it will eventually fall into Taliban hands, if it hasn’t already.
This graphic from the Times sums up the maximum amount of equipment that could have been lost:
“The Taliban now has more Black Hawk helicopters than 85% of the countries in the world,” Congressman Jim Banks, a veteran, lamented. “But it’s not just weapons. They have night vision goggles, body armor, and unbelievably, the Taliban now has biometric devices which have the fingerprints, eye scans and biographical information of all of the Afghans who helped us and were on our side over the last 20 years. There is no plan by the administration to get those weapons back. There is no plan to account for any of this equipment or these weapons.”
Some media reports and social media posts have suggested that $85 billion in equipment was left behind, but this figure is misleading. The $85 billion price tag is the total amount the US has spent on security forces in Afghanistan. Yet a significant portion of that funding went to expenditures such as salaries, so it wouldn’t necessarily equate to that much in weaponry left behind.
But there was still a vast amount of taxpayer-funded military resources left behind. According to an expert interviewed by Politifact, the real monetary value of the abandoned equipment/weaponry is likely closer to $10 billion. That’s still an astounding amount to essentially give away to a hostile and oppressive regime.
This is worse than just waste—this taxpayer money actually went toward funding weaponry that will only do harm in the hands of the Taliban. Even if, hopefully, they are not in direct conflict with the US in the future, the Taliban will at the very least use this weaponry in pursuit of the oppression of women, LGBT people, and others under Sharia law. And they’ll do all of it with exponentially advanced military capabilities, courtesy of the US taxpayer.

What did Trump bring home?
He had almost two years.

Nuthin' but the truth
Won’t argue that conservatives are spineless tax and spenders just like democrats, maybe to a lesser degree, however, that doesn’t mean that rank and file don’t want that to happen.
But, just imagine how you little piggy’s would scream…For Gods sake you people holler when anything isn’t automatically increased…

I wonder if going to war with Iran and the other reckless military actions Dotard has taken is compensation for his tiny hands?

Cheaper than Somalia Day Care in Minnesota
Without US taxpayer $$$, they would have been wiped off the map decades ago.
The US has given Israel so much $$$, every citizen could be a millionaire several times over.
See above.
It was $90 BILLION, not million.
Looks like some of that should be spent reteaching you how to read.
