Fuck. Biden, Trump, what’s the difference. I was blaming this on State Department career officials. Then it comes out that they were shouting from the rooftop last month that we were on the verge of a royal cluster fuck in Afghanistan but the White House wasn’t listening. Now it looks like a big part of the reason the translators et al are waiting in Afghanistan to be slaughtered is because of Miller’s and Trump’s xenophobia.
Here’s another data point. Biden complained about how Trump botched the pullout from Syria, when we screwed the Kurds who helped us defeat ISIS. Maybe true but ironic as hell considering what’s happening now. It’s Syria times ten.
There are 330 million Americans. Yet we haven’t elected a competent president since Clinton, or an outstanding one since Reagan. The electorate is just plain stupid.
The Trump administration at least has a political excuse. It’s strongest supporters have no problem leaving the Afghans who had our backs in Afghanistan to be slaughtered. Just look at the paranoia among some of our posters here who believe terrorists will slip into the USA and create sleeper cells. The Biden administration has no excuse - just sheer incompetence.
