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.

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.

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.

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.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Max

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.

Just maybe, some of the students could learn how to read, write, and learn a little bit about math. Their texting skills are already, just fine.

The fact that legislators would use this for political gain and schools would use this as a financial game (teaching to the tests so they get an A rating, which gives them more money, wash-rinse-repeat). is a no from me. Didn't they learn something from the failure of the No Child Left Behind?
