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

Like everything else this administration has touched.

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.

We have to commute to work, approximately 70 miles every day. We fill up once a week, and the cost has risen from an average of $36.50 before the Iran war, to now $55.00 each week. We now have to budget more for gas than we did. And there is still nothing to show for any of this pointless conflic

Max

So, you support Iran? Well, I support America.

Nikki Wrinkles

Im driving about 81.6 miles a day to get my son to daycare and then myself to work. Car averages 21 mpg and requires minimum 91 octane fuel. $70 twice a week plus what my husband spends in fuel for just traveling back and forth to work and home. Keeping son home 2 days from daycare to save on fuel.

While no one enjoys paying more $ gas is cheap for what you get.

Harry D

I wish puppet Biden did not drain the strategic petroleum reserve in a failed political scheme, much like his unconstitutional student loan forgiveness, to buy votes. The oil pipelines to Canada, that Biden stopped, would be handy about now too. Voting for future Democrats will be very limited.

Max

Trump had just refilled it, after Obama drained it down to nothing.

Steve Baumann

Far bigger issues than fuel prices

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

Steve Baumann

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Fred

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

Zaos Gonzolez

Your own safety is your own responsibility.
