Remember during the 2020 debates when Biden said he has Plans for everything.

I guess completely botching the Afghanistan Exit was Biden's plan?

And don't let the lies fool you, They knew Taliban would swoop in and take control.

If you're looking for an omniscient president, consider Jesus

Yep,
Trump’s actions and statements:

Feb. 29, 2020 — Trump makes U.S.-Taliban deal: The U.S. signed an agreement with the Taliban that paved the way for a phased withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan to conclude by May 2021, if certain conditions were met. The deal featured guarantees from the Taliban to "prevent the use of the soil of Afghanistan by any group or individual against the security of the United States and its allies."

Sept. 18, 2020 — Trump praised Taliban: A year after Trump considered inviting the Taliban to Camp David for peace talks, he again expressed optimism but some wariness, saying: "We’re dealing very well with the Taliban. They’re very tough. They’re very smart. They’re very sharp, but you know, it’s been 19 years and even they are tired of fighting, in all fairness." He added.



It is amazing how many MAGA fanatics can not find fault with Trump.
Trump can blatantly on live tv ask a foreign power to investigate his opponent https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/na...7ji-story.html
and we will have MAGA supporters like Rubio interpreting it as "he is just needling the press, knowing that you guys were gonna get outraged by it.”

At what point will a MAGA supporters saying yeah ok.. so Trump messed up? Probably never since MAGA supporters and republicans often will justify anything as long as in their mind it hurts liberals.

That's pretty bad psychological propaganda programming these people; often passed down by their family, a policing position of power or news/radio networks like Foxnews.

This is beyond pathetic

Can you locate the fine print in the deal where it states arming The Taliban and running with our tail between our legs (stranding thousands of Americans at the mercy of terrorists) was part of the deal?

Biden owns this. The Trump Trump Trump blaming is pitiful and desperate

I'll repeat myself because this thread is worth it.

America should have been out of afghan a long time ago.
We knew it would not work with their tribal system.

But there is a right way and a wrong way to exit a country that we've been embroiled in for over 20 years now.

The way the Biden administration pulled out, left people behind and everyone else high and dry was the wrong way.

----
And where are all the women's rights activists and equal rights people?
Taliban is brutalizing women right now as I'm typing this and will continue to do so.
Let that sink in.

Biden has turned "getting out" into an epic humiliation on the world stage, complete with arming terrorists with modern US weapons and technology

I'm sure Taiwan is sleeping well at night right now

Botten are you seriously going to justify Biden's complete flop on the afghan exit by pointing at Trump?

Remember all the 'peace' deals Trump made in the Middle East? Well this is what peace looks like.

If you want the credit, you have to take the blame.
