trastrick 866 #517 Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Here's The New York Times, who endorsed Joe for President. "An Ethically Challenged Presidency" Oct. 5, 2021 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/05/opinion/biden-ethics-son.html "There should be little doubt that President Biden was not being truthful when, days after the Taliban’s victory, he told ABC News that his senior military advisers had not urged him to keep some 2,500 troops in Afghanistan. The president’s claim was flatly contradicted last week in sworn testimony from Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Gen. Kenneth McKenzie Jr., the head of U.S. Central Command. During the generals’ testimony, the White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, sought to defend her boss by pointing to a line in Biden’s interview in which he appeared to suggest that the military’s advice “was split.” Another whopper. What split? As The Times’s Helene Cooper, Eric Schmitt and David Sanger reported in April, right after Lloyd Austin was sworn in as secretary of defense in January, he and his top generals “were in lock step in recommending that about 3,000 to 4,500 troops stay in Afghanistan.” Asked whether there were top military advisers who argued otherwise, Psaki evaded the question. Biden’s dissembling, regarding the worst-executed major foreign policy decision in years, would be a scandal in any presidency. It’s worse coming from the man who campaigned for office by insisting that he stood “for honor and telling the truth.” Et tu NYT? BUyers remorse?

If all you are "...hearing is "Trump", Trump, and more Trump", then you should refrain from posting adverts for "Trump" as an example this Trump advert: "The Greatest economy the world has ever seen, prior to the flue pandemic.

Getting the U.S. Embassy built in Jerusalem Ending the ISIS Caliphate No more Russian Invasions of allies like Ukraine Bringing the U.S. Service Men and Women home! Getting the Socialist Paradises in Europe, who hate America, to pay more for their own defense. No more "Death to America" chants and threats from Korea and Mad Mullahs in Iran No more sending billions of dollars to Iran to finance terrorism No more $billions in fees, salaries, "donations" and investment portfolios, from Ukraine, Russia and China for the Biden and Clinton families, while in office!" " My underlining just highlights a few inaccuracies. But how IS Joe doing? Lol 56 minutes ago, Tony said: It's a fact that the most respected, loved and well remembered politicians are the ones who did nothing much. JFK and John Smith are premier examples of the phenomenon. People naturally hate other people who do things and achieve lots because it makes them feel stupid and inadequate, it's a primal thing that we can't help because we're basically apes subject to the usual Rules of Nature. The trick is to catch yourself before you fall into the trap but it's difficult to escape the comfort zone of hatred. You're in good company. Einstein said something very similar: "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly."

Go take it up with them. Lol ""U.S. officials made clear at the time that the (Doha Cease Fire) agreement was conditions-based and the failure of intra-Afghan peace talks to reach a negotiated settlement would have nullified the requirement to withdraw. One day before the Doha deal, a top aide to chief U.S. negotiator Zalmay Khalilzad said the agreement was not irreversible, and “there is no obligation for the United States to withdraw troops if the Afghan parties are unable to reach agreement or if the Taliban show bad faith” during negotiations". https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-middle-east-taliban-doha-e6f48507848aef2ee849154604aa11be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
