why do we bother having

these talks about what did or didn't do in Afghanistan?

People just make it about politics. I listened to the question and answers yesterday and I flipped through the news channels last night. Honestly I wondered what Hearings fox was talking about. You would have thought we surrendered to the Taliban and requested that they find someone to bomb our troops. CNN was not much better. I find myself putting on netflix and watching "how to get away with murder" until I fall asleep.

4. Agree hearing is BS, but there would have been one or more if trump were involved. Just way it is.

donnie is the one who surrendered to the taliban. he agreed to remove 80% of our troops and gave them back their co-founder and 5,000 troops, and agreed to a timetable to remove the rest of the troops this year.

all this basically in exchange for a dubious promise from the taliban not to shoot too much at us while we leave.

in what way is this not a surrender?


yet the media is blaming biden. why? because that's what republicans want the media to say.
