Exactly. Biden withdrew from Afghanistan in the best possible manner. Any other manner of withdraw would have resulted in more American deaths. Since the withdraw was executed, precisely zero American troops have died in Afghanistan, a wildly successful outcome. The naysayers never tell us how many American troops they were willing to see killed to achieve a different outcome.
Same guy! He was also an infamous mob lawyer. Fun fact - he died of AIDS and when he was dying Trump refused to see him. Just like with everyone else, Trump cast him aside when he was no longer useful.
Would it be unconstitutional for the federal government to establish an agency explicitly designed to advance the interests of a specific religion? Of course!Nor did I know that the Republican Party platform contains a pledge to create a new federal agency to defend Christian nationalism: “To protect Religious Liberty, Republicans support a new Federal Task Force on Fighting Anti-Christian Bias that will investigate all forms of illegal discrimination, harassment, and persecution against Christians in America.”
Is that Constitutional? Can the state institutionalise the "protection" - by which I suspect they mean "dominance" - of one religion specifically?

Quite a few things I didn't know, in this article. It's sort-of-indirectly about the subject of this thread, but there are interesting tangents in there.
Didn't know Trump had a connection to Roy Cohn (is that the same guy who was McCarthy's right-hand man?) nor that there exists a movie about that connection.

Much like the Bible, conservatives pick and choose which parts of The Constitution are VERY IMPORTANT and which parts are disposable purely by how useful it is to them in the moment.Quite a few things I didn't know, in this article.

Yep his daddy thought he wasn’t shitty enough so he hired Cohn to teach little Donnie how to be a royal asshole.Quite a few things I didn't know, in this article. It's sort-of-indirectly about the subject of this thread, but there are interesting tangents in there.

Cue the next out of touch Forbes article: "Will getting a right ear piercing be Trump"s next appeal to the LGBTQ voters?"
Evidence continues to point towards incel mass shooter vibes, and not something specifically partisan.
Indeed seems like Bidenomics pulled it off no 2nd Great Depression...Which is probably one of his biggest achievements that will get no recognition in the history books. Real politicians dont do it for the fame though.
I have to give Trump credit for understanding how stupid his followers are.
I agree, a lot is not under Biden's control. However, he is not completely blame free. The administration waited far to long to counteract inflation, continuing to say it was a "temporary" problem and would go away, as it was steadily rising. As for the border, yes, congressional action is needed, but just a few weeks after he said he could do nothing without congress, he penned an executive order to infact close the border after a certain number of crossings per day. So which is it?

I'm sorry but this is horseshit revisionism that it was done in a "best" fashion. I fully support Biden's decision to finally withdraw. It was the right policy, and his arms were tied by Trump announcing it without having any plan. Didn't DJT want to invite the Taliban to Camp David for a signing ceremony? Around the 9/11 anniversary no less LOL
