this outcome has been predicted by most that have been keeping tract of the afgan. military.

Max

Like everything else this administration has touched.

sheri smith

Half a brain would have told him pull out citizens and allies,then troops, not troops then, oops we forgot everyone else! Idiot

Somewhere out there, there is a 2 year old with a prostitute mother, a crackhead father, and a grandpa in the white house. Intelligence runs deep in that family.

Charlene Coe-gilmore

He did not listen to staff who informed him of many problems and he would not listen. He decided to be one by a date rather than assessing issues on a daily basis and making decisions. He is seen by foreign leaders as weak which makes USA vulnerable.

Vernon Taylor

I will give Biden credit for making some of the Taliban wear masks.

Craig Wheeler

He should have listened to his military advisors. He ignored them.

John Walker

He basically abandoned our allies.

Biden admitted to being caught off-guard by the speed of the Taliban's takeover but stood by American actions.

This was set in motion by the previous administration. The exit date was already set.

15,000 Americans trapped in Afghanistan, relying on Joe Biden, similar to 15,000 elderly people trapped in nursing homes, relying on Andy Cuomo. Same team.

Jeffrey S

This was set in motion by the pevious administration.

Biden admin depends on Taliban to give Americans 'safe passage' 6 weeks after Biden said he doesn't trust them. A group of Loons is called an asylum.

Hopefully, but not overly confident. Unlike Missouri, Auburn has played three top 20 teams, and although they lost, they fought hard. Auburn is no pushover, plus it will be in their barn.

Coaching staff adjustments and player talent.

Max

I would give MU the edge. It won't be easy. No matter what happens, the Tigers will win.

This is the actual correct answer.

Steve Baumann

I'd like to see how many of the democratic votes came from bots

Steve Baumann

Democrats are insisting on concessions related to health care policy (specifically extending Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies) to reopen the government. Republicans argue for a "clean" funding bill without these policy changes.

Max

It's beautiful. Trump is getting rid of the fake workers Biden hired, and AOC will Primary Schumer. Winner winner, chicken dinner.

Max

As every 8th grade Civics student knows, it takes 60 votes to end the Schumer Shutdown. Since we only have 53 Republicans, we must have a handful of Senate Democrats

Max

"No one is so blind as one who will not see" means that a person who is unwilling to accept the truth is more difficult to convince than someone who is physically blind.

Max

Trump is ending wars, getting hostages released, after nearly 2 years, while Schumer is holding the US taxpayers hostage, for free medical care for illegal aliens, while our own citizens have to pay for medical care.

Wendy glassburn

The democrats want to add to the budget. It’s a CR, you don’t add to it. You open the government and then negotiate the budget.

Toasty

Wish I could vote for both. This shutdown is a game both sides are playing. I want to roll up a newspaper and smack 'em both.

Republicans could easily say yes to extending subsidies for Americans and no to the other provisions. If Dems say “no” then it’s on them. Not much compromising is going on.

Steve Baumann

Hand up not hand out.

Novel Pairings

They control the Presidency, Senate and House, and are holding up a budget that would increase healthcare premiums three-fold for millions of Americans to give the rich tax write-offs. This is all Republican.

Scott Kramer

I don't believe that the ACA causes a significant amount of money to go to healthcare for illegal immigrants
