Nice try. I didn’t agree with the Iraq war and I didn’t agree with staying in Afghanistan as long as we did. But as long as you mention it: By bringing up your two D hero presidents, do you mean the one who got out of Iraq and left ISIS to take over? That same one who put MORE troops into Afghanistan? And the current one who crapped the bed and is still rolling in his own feces? Stime, we get it. You wouldn’t be the person you are today if it weren’t for Trump.

Gonna blame Bush for the hurricane?

To this point. Could you imagine the leaking and whistleblowing from the State Department and the Pentagon that would be going on right now if this happened a year ago? Heck, there are so many voices now deflecting from Biden and laying blame on Trump, as though he’s still in office. Trumps agreement was bad, yes, but that’s no excuse for Biden’s failure.

I agree with this. We were parked in Afghanistan 20 years later to keep tabs on both these neighbors. We kicked the crap out of the Taliban early on. Then we soft-handled Pakistan when the Taliban melted across the border into the hills. Didn’t want to rile up a nuclear-armed “ally”, and they didn’t help in any meaningful way. Half the Taliban are Pakistani and now Pakistan, the region, and the world has a potential nuclear problem on their hands if the Taliban some day decides to move south. ISIS-K may be Pakistan supported, but a lot of those fighters are from the former Soviet-Stans. Maybe they’re supported by Pakistan in order to give the Afghan Taliban something to wrangle with as a distraction. And reports are that Iran is actively allowing Al Quaeda leadership to stay in their country. AQ knows that we’re not going to do anything to them while they’re in Iran.

what happened this week came from a vaccinated trainer (at least the way I understand it). Beasley’s fault? No.

You’re saying that any and all outbreaks in the locker room will be Beasley’s fault because he’s outspoken. You can believe what you want and focus on the one loudmouth, but what you’re saying strains reason. There are no protocols in place this season? Nobody was vaccinated last season and Beasley and his teammates got through the year.

How will this come about? Honest question.

(1) The House is Democrat-controlled. (2) This is basically the same idea that was tried on Trump Twice. (3) Reminds me of Sam Wyche: "You don't live in Cleveland".

What would be the grounds for impeachment?

did the White House plan for this contingency?

You’ve spent this entire thread apologizing and making logic pretzels, deflecting, whatabouting, and completely changing the subject. none of it will age well.

I'm sure they didn't communicate often. She isn't his type. Who wants a buzzkill at the conference table?

If Biden didn't vomit on himself regarding Afghanistan, then Biden's budget would have been passed today. Instead, some shaky D's on the Hill saw his blunder as an opportunity to flex their voices. They called out Pelosi on her choice to push off the infrastructure vote to October, probably knowing that she was going to ***** with the bill between now and then. That opportunity they wouldn't have happened if Biden's credibility and stature wasn't publicly shot to hell. This is from a week ago: https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-business-05c4738d9460b8c36a9385bbb42b9c5b The House plans to vote Monday evening on a procedural measure setting up future debate for the budget resolution, the infrastructure legislation and another Democratic priority restoring federal authority over states’ voting procedures that were curbed by the Supreme Court. “All three are critical elements of the president’s agenda, and we hope that every Democratic member supports this effort,” said White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates. Hoyer said he also wants the House to approve the voting rights measure on Tuesday and wrap up business. That proposed schedule could pressure moderates to support the budget, since sticking to their planned opposition could extend the House’s stay in Washington until the standoff is resolved. Some moderates hope the chaotic U.S. flight from Afghanistan might prompt Biden to seek a quick accomplishment by reversing course and asking the House to quickly send him the infrastructure legislation. The Senate approved the infrastructure measure last week in a bipartisan vote. “I think more than ever, if the White House would play this smart, they would get a domestic win right now. And that is, bring up the bipartisan infrastructure bill,” Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, one of the nine unhappy moderates, said in an interview. Rep. Katie Porter, D-Calif., a leader of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said a majority of its nearly 100 members have said in two surveys that they’d oppose the infrastructure measure if it came before the $3.5 trillion measure has progressed. What does that article have to do with a budget vote? Do you have a link to this postponed vote date?

She had a vote scheduled. Then she had to postpone it. If Biden had any clout left, he'd be able to wrangle the Centrists in Congress to vote to pass HIS budget. Your initial wrongheaded, apologist point was that Biden can shake off this Afghan debacle and pivot to passing other important legislation.

Don't forget Biden’s $3.5 billion spending bill. Oh, wait…maybe not. https://apple.news/A4Bhgd-Z0Qf-kvROx_TJzXQ See, it’s more likely that Biden is going to be less successful after mishandling Afghanistan and blatantly lying about conditions there. He shot most of his credibility. Good luck getting it back.

Boy, that Biden is pretty slick. Perfectly timing his historic screw up for minimum political impact. Thank God my memory doesn’t go back more than Five Days.

Living on LI and I've come to realize that Bills and Jets fans are Bizarro-World brothers. We've had a lot of the same problems over the years. The best thing was the color rush game when colorblind people couldn't tell the teams apart.

There are probably a lot of fans from the last bandwagon years who are still around. All are welcome as far as I’m concerned. I tell all my Jet fan friends that we accept converts.

Not eligible. Troll job fail.

Fields will definitely start at some point this season, but I doubt he finishes because of the awful line in front of him.

“Start”? Jim Comey says hello.

Because TrumpTrumpTrumpittyTrump (...andPompeo). DUHHHHH!!! Evacuating her bowels is more elegant than what's going on in Kabul.

That wasn't what we were discussing. Thanks for chiming in, surly.

I absolutely don't know. Especially because two of the bluest governors (Newsom and Cuomo) each publicly said that Trump gave them everything they asked for.

You shouldn't bother. He doesn't apparently think before he posts anything. And if he does think before posting, then LOL.
