He had two options. Leave on the original timetable trump put in place or leave under fire. Forcefully extending the time table when we had lost the protection of the Afghani government would've not only been a physical distaster but political suicide.
I got an email notice about this specific thread and i was genuinely curious about what the Indiana gun community had to say about it. When i noticed everyone's claims coming from off the wall, unbacked sources I felt like throwing in my two cents. Not to mention the blantant racist and...
Biden had no choice you nunce. Part of Trump's whole schtick was that he was going to get us out of Afghanistan and he put us in a time table where we had to sneak out in the middle of the night with our tail between our legs.
My eyes were open. I saw the planes and the bodies fall off them them.
At the core of every failed nation are those who follow blindly. I don't want Harris in office, but the Republican party has once again failed to produce a viable candidate that represents the time we live in, not the time you're nostalgiac for.
The tax breaks Trump gave the top 1% of our country kept costs stagnant on a growing economy the Obama administration built. The Biden administration put a stop to that and told them to pay their fair share. Rather than do that they've passed that cost onto the consumer. What I do know is that...
Are you understanding what im saying or is calling everyone a communist the only bullet you have? If they're not working now, then they still wouldn't be able to afford housing, healthcare, or their basic needs if changes were made to bring the cost down for those things. The idea is that if...
You're right, continuing to pour into defense is delusional. I served. I've seen the waste. It's a moneypit that needs a complete overhaul and more extreme oversight. The very idea that the Pentagon could misplace a trillion dollars is insane, yet it happened.
Do you think they just wouldn't be working? The basics are living wages, reasonable housing costs, and affordable healthcare.
If businesses can't afford to pay their workers to meet a growing COLA they shouldn't exist.
Maybe we shouldn't be spending trillions on a military that doesn't win wars. The Taliban is in power. 20 years in Afghanistan for absolutely nothing. The middle east is still in shambles. 60 billion to keep a hostile nation from conquering like Japan in 1945 is an absolute deal. Maybe if a...
Have you ever considered that if every person's basic needs were met in the country then those that choose to still work hard would excel and lead lives at a higher echelon than those who are happy with the basics?
Did you know? Primaries are a relatively new idea when you look at the history of the country. For a large portion of the country's history party leaders chose their candidates, not everyday voters. AND they did it a few months before the election instead of year(s) in advance so whoever was in...
He backed out because joining the ticket would pave the way for a Republican to take over as Governor in his state. He knows she can win, but the idea of a Republican running his state is enough to keep him home.
He's putting his constituents first.
Focusing on the democratic nominee instead of calling for Trump to step down is the exact reason she's winning the news cycle right now. The fact that trump has managed to hold a vice grip over the republican party while calling for policies that go against everything America stands for is mind...
I'd go pick one up at a local store but they're out of stock everywhere. Not willing to pay much more than MSRP as I'm not in a rush. Shoot me an offer. Worst I can say is no. I'm in the Lafayette area, but willing to drive around an hour.
