We're Gonna Have A Ton Of Candidates Running For President In 2024.....

All these people that are criticizing Biden and saying what they would have done in Afghanistan if they were president. They're all over TV, Radio and the Internet. We got 1000's of experts out there that feel that they are qualified to pile on Biden.

it might have been handled better but we have to be honest....The GOP are just looking for anything to criticize Biden.

Much like after the Vietnam withdrawal - the Vietnamese refugees were called "gooks" and belittled for years and I guarantee you the Afgan refugees are not welcome here simply because they are Muslim.

We didn't learn a lesson in Vietnam and I can only hope that after this damn mess we will stop all of this military BS around the world.

The HERO WORSHIP FOR ALL THINGS MILITARY plays a role in our continuation of these meaningless wars. If people want to "support the troops" then stop electing these politicians that welcome wars as a means to feed the military industrial complex.

for withdrawing in May in the same harsh terms last year?! GOP is so full of shit, they're the ones who elected a guy who wanted to withdraw earlier(and set it in motion)

They need to be regulated with rules. Bring back the fairness doctrine with penalties for lies and instigation.

Reagan did away with it when cable was young because he wanted division.

Does not use limited public airwaves live OTA broadcast radio and TV. Censoring it would create massive first amendment issues.

And any that do are permanently off my list in any subsequent primaries. And who cares...elections are not won on foreign policy grounds...it was Benghazi Benghazi but Obama still won...most incumbents do. And despite the handwringing from the media who always props up the right IMHO...most Americans want out of Afghanistan.

...means less money in the general election. I hope it drags out for a very, very long time.

I predict that we can narrow the names of potential Democratic nominees down to Biden (if he wants it) and Harris (if Biden doesn't want it).

It's not likely to be much of a news story in three and a half years.
