I recall saying this long before the election, but Joe Biden is clearly not with it mentally. At the time, this was seen as an "attack", whereas I was perplexed that it wasn't patently obvious to anyone who had even casually observed him.
At the time, it was clear that the left did not think any viable candidate had a shot at beating Trump (pre-covid), and Joe was a sacrificial candidate who could give Trump a fight without getting the mud of wrestling with the pig on a 2024 fresh new candidate.
So now here we are. A Trump implosion, a senile president and the Taliban sending private eBay listings of Blackhawk helicopters to China.
25th, or impeach? I vote 25th. Then Chuckles McVanish can be our president... yippee.

Chuckles will do evil deliberately Sleepy Joe may have an excuse that he just stumbles into it. What is that saying "better the evil you know"?

It better come sooner. These incompetent fools have no clue what they are doing. We are losing a negotiation with the @#$(%U* Taliban. The arrogant incompetence of this administration makes me long for the days when Trump was in office and the media had to lament over the "big things" like how he held a Bible for #@*$%s sake.

Didn't Trump start the whole thing off by signing a deal with the Taliban in February 2020? Whose government spent billions on weaponry just to leave it behind for the Taliban?

Even though I disagreed with Trump on that. I believe his was an orderly and timely withdrawal over more than just 2 weeks.

I actually believe you're telling the truth -- that you actually believe that. Considering Trump setup everything over a year ago that would have been more than enough time to get everyone and everything out in an orderly fashion, unlike Sleepy Joe doing a 2-3 week rush job.

The country that is really worried about what has happened in Afghanistan is China. Afghanistan has huge mineral wealth. Particularly battery metals such as lithium. China would be keen on acquiring that. However there is a hook. The Afghans do not take kindly to foreigners interfering. The British tried in the 1800's to install a puppet govt. The Russians tried in the 1980's and lastly the USA have tried. All met with the same fate. It will be interesting to see if the Chinese try. The hook is this. Obviously the Afghans are Muslim. So are Uighers. The Chinese are dead scared of the Afghans and Pakistan teaming up to relieve the pressure on the Uighers. Now what would the west do if that happened. Would the USA supply weapons to the Taliban. They did this so they could make war with the Russians, although to be fair, the weapons were supplied to the Mujahiden. The Taliban are a much more sinister bunch. I am picking that China will offer huge amounts of aid and development so that they can do two things, get their grubby mitts on the lithium and buy off the Taliban. I suspect that is why the big banana in the CIA has already paid the Taliban a visit. Oh the problems of picking sides.

But in common Trump fashion .... he did NOTHING to accomplish it. Remember he said nothing about how he'd bring that about ... except TALK.

Also, both Pakistan and China want a good highway through Afghanistan to accommodate the extensive trade between the two of them.

But if push came to shove they are still Muslims and will do what they need to do.

I read that the Taliban are looking forward to all the money they will make from selling the lithium to China. They need each other. Be a change from all the millions they have made from growing opium. Conspiracy theories have it that the US planned to leave the weapons for the Talban so they can stop China progressing into Europe. If it is true then I don't know why America couldn't do it themselves. Guess numerous conspiracy theories will abound. Imagine if shushy was on here.

Didn't Trump start the whole thing off by signing a deal with the Taliban in February 2020? Whose government spent billions on weaponry just to leave it behind for the Taliban? The question was not to leave or no, but rather how to leave. I am convinced that if nothing else, Trump would never allow the Taliban to dictate the terms of our withdraw, would the Taliban be foolish enough to dream of insisting on any deadline. Trump is the same president who who called Kim "Rocket man". We have a weak administration. Trump's plan was Civilians, Green Cards and SIVs first, Equipment second, military last, and bomb the military bases after we were out. Instead we have an unknown number of citizens and SIV holders relying on the Taliban to let them get to the airport, and we've given the Taliban state of the art military equipment and infrastructure. And China will be happy to do business with them. Biden has been reamed in the US by both parties, the press (finally), and has been criticized for the lack of competence by our allies across the world who are scrambling to evacuate their own citizens as well.

But in common Trump fashion .... he did NOTHING to accomplish it. Remember he said nothing about how he'd bring that about ... except TALK. If he'd haphazardly withdrawn rather than do it properly, it would've been irresponsible. And like the wall, it would've been done right had he been elected for a second term. I cannot prove this of course, but given Trump was at least competent, it seems likely. Joe and Chuckles have been extremely disappointing to me, even with the low bar I set for them.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=5InzccRssnEJudge Jeanine interviews President Trump. Imagine President Trump debating President Biden. Absolute slaughter. Q. What to do about the caravan? A. Wall would've stopped em. mic drop. As the current administration decides that America isn't worth anything, we need a president like this guy, who respects democracy. I will be interested to learn (should he decide to run) how he will respond to questions regarding Jan 6th. Otherwise, he is superior in every way.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=un5N690N3MYI thought Giggles McVanish was good at laughing condescendingly at questions she couldn't or wouldn't answer... this lady gives her a run for her money. To the question: "What is the plan to increase oil production in America?" She starts laughing and wishing she had a magic wand. Then blames OPEC as a "Cartel". Spoiler alert - we keep begging OPEC to produce more - and OPEC says, "nope". No magic wand? A magic wand cancelled Keystone. A magic wand banned oil exploration on federal land. For the first time since 1957, America was energy independent in 2019. Energy Independent. I'll repeat... Energy...bloody...independent. (https://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/fossil-fuels/gas-and-oil/the-united-states-was-energy-independent-in-2019-for-the-first-time-since-1957/) And along comes Biden and Co. And the poor and middle class are the ones who will pay for the shortages, inflation, and the myriad of problems that stem from them. 2022 and 2024 cannot come quickly enough. Then maybe we'll get some answers instead of giggles. With adults with functional brains running things.

Both Trump and Obama tried - I'm sure there's plenty to nitpick in the particulars, but overall a win for the administration. We can celebrate with some music youtu.be/7mY9JqCwt5Y
