Without the brains, of course.

2. Is this real?

Wow.

[highplainsdem]

3. Yes. I just edited the OP to add a tweet showing the page on TFG's website after the deletion.

[Johnny2X2X]

7. Thank you

Amazing. Trump can't help himself, he has to comment on everything without thinking things through.

[malaise]

9. His brain is so fried that he doesn't remember what he said yesterday

Fuck him

[ancianita]

20. Neither does his brain support team

Been on a jungle recon mission for years and haven't found it yet.

4. Kick to the top!

Needs to be seen.

[Botany]

6. Grammar much Donny?

First, we can and should HAVE GOTTEN out earlier.

And yes this was written by Trump because, he included, his, random use of, the comma,.

BTW you are not President anymore you don't get to give out orders or time tables.

[Diamond_Dog]

8. We "kept the oil", huh

Riiiight ....

[Botany]

12. I missed the we "kept the oil" part.

Isn't that called stealing?

[Diamond_Dog]

16. Obviously

more of his tough guy made up bullshit to appeal to his base. Those of us with more than two brain cells easily see through it.

[PatSeg]

35. That jumped out at me right away

What was it with him and "keeping the oil"? That's how tyrants and invaders think. Just like his buddy, Putin.

[MoonRiver]

10. K&R What a dumbass!

[Johnny2X2X]

11. This is an important thread

Wish the title was different to explain exactly what's in it. This will shut up Cons quickly, needs to keep getting bumped.

[gordianot]

13. There are a few trying to lay this on Biden.

You never know when it comes to Republicans but I do not expect this to last long.

[kentuck]

14. They wasted no time in trying to delete information that contradicted their narrative.

Every waking moment is spent on "how can we get a political advantage"?

[ancianita]

31. Yes. It needs to get on CNN

[Aviation Pro]

15. One more time, Bloated Tick

You're not the President anymore, fucko, and will be remembered as an asterick.

[IronLionZion]

17. The Trump admin must have known it would be a cluster fuck

or they would have scheduled it last year to help their reelection efforts.

[Johnny2X2X]

19. He tried to remove them all in December

On this issue, Trump was actually right, now his reasons for being right are anyone's guess, but he made a campaign promise and he tried to keep it.

[IronLionZion]

21. He tweeted about it

but the military advised against the December 25th date.

My point is he should have done it before the November election if it was supposed to be a good thing.

[ancianita]

22. TFG, so incompetent that Biden gets all the credit for

keeping TFG's campaign promise FOR him.

[malaise]

32. AFTER HE LOST THE ELECTION

deliberately in caps

[Arazi]

24. A month ago a gloating #Traitor told a cheering crowd that he'd forced Biden into the withdrawal

Link to tweet

?s=19

[Johnny2X2X]

25. Hope this gets played everywhere

People are treating this like a crisis, it isn't, it's basically just us leaving a couple weeks earlier than planned because the Afghan government decided to surrender to the Taliban.

[IronLionZion]

29. There is faux outrage on the right now

on the left people have been wanting Afghan interpreters evacuated for months to save them from certain execution.

[Johnny2X2X]

39. The Taliban is not going to execute interpreters

They're offering amnesty to just about everyone, that's why the Afghanis surrendered so easily. Will they honor their promise, not sure, but they've so far honored their promise to harm no Americans.

Doesn't mean this hasn't been awful, atrocities are happening, just that the Taliban appears to be making an effort to honor their part of the peace agreement.

[IronLionZion]

40. There's a lot of wishful thinking

it's chaos over there with Taliban units that don't follow orders from the top and other bad actors pretending to be Taliban so they can rob people.

[Johnny2X2X]

41. There's lawlessness

But there was lawlessness before the Taliban started taking over again. Extremists attacked a hospital several months ago and were condemned by the Taliban.

[rockfordfile]

50. I wouldn't trust them

[IronLionZion]

28. 21 years?

2021 - 2001 = alternative facts

[Wounded Bear]

27. K & R...nt

[Orrex]

34. I wonder who wrote that statement for him

[DENVERPOPS]

52. Trump couldn't have written that

it is way too coherent for his pea brain................

[bdamomma]

36. there's the evidence right there.

nt.

[Jon King]

37. Right wingers are saying Taliban would not have taken over under Trump

We need to know their talking points so we can counter them. They are not saying Trump did not want troops home.

They are saying that Trump and Taliban had a deal and they were scared Trump would bomb them if they broke it. Because he is so macho of course. They say since Taliban think Biden is weak, thats why they broke the deal and took over everything.

The right wingers are tying what they frame as Dem weakness on the border, high crime, and now Afghan girls being tortured. All these things together make your family and the world less secure.

Thats what they will run on in 2022 and 2024 and that is what Dems must be prepared to counter.

[Collimator]

43. If Trump had won the election. . .

[shudder]. . . I don't think he would have followed through with the withdrawal. Donny is an expert at moving the food around on his plate so that he never has to eat his peas.

And there would have been enough shit going down in this country to keep everyone distracted from one more unfulfilled promise out of Trump and Co.

[CountAllVotes]

38. K&R

[Jon King]

42. Wow, the media coverage of Afghan civilians dying at the airport is rough.

Not sure many will remember Trump started this mess. Right now the visuals and narrative for Biden is getting worse by the minute.

The press all over is saying Biden is hiding at Camp David while Afghans who helped us are dying at the airport due to stampedes and falling off moving planes.

Sorry but this is going to overwhelm the attempts to correct and say Trump is responsible.

[Moebym]

48. A YouTube video recently uploaded by WaPo

Had a title that went something like, "Biden blames Afghans and Trump, says buck stops with him".

I fear you are right.

Whatever their true motive may be, the media certainly appears to want to make this Biden's Saigon, and the longer the sensational coverage continues, the more people whose minds will be made up that he's a coward.

[Initech]

44. He's such a piece of garbage.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

45. Trump also takes credit for ending WWII, the Moon landing, writing the Declaration of Independece,

and inventing the light bulb.

As always, it's all about him. The only real thing we know is that TFG caused more than 600,000 Americans to die from COVID with his lies and getting in the way of those who took the threat seriously and were trying to do something about it.

Thank God for the Wayback Machine; it's a powerful tool to use as the GQP tries to rewrite history.
