You're just deflecting man. Per that agreement we had to have us troop totals down to 8600 troops. There was nothing preventing this administration from sending more troops in to ensure that this withdrawal could be done in a safe manner. But I think you know this. Regardless, I think we are done conversing, you and I.
Sounds good!I’ll leave it with pointing out that the Trump admin had decreased troop levels to 2,500 before Trump left office:
And Trump even said Biden couldn’t stop the process:
“I started the process,” Trump says. “All the troops are coming back home. They [the Biden administration] couldn’t stop the process.“

Nah I'll stick with moderate risk thank you.
As a chef when you eat out, would you prefer your food to have a moderate risk of giving you food poisoning or a low risk of giving you food poisoning?At least the courts and parents are protecting these kids when their governor failed them.

Exactly. You wear your mask and you moderate your risk. Thank you for making my point.
You wear a mask and the person wearing the mask next to you and it’s very low risk. Wouldnt you rather have your kids in a very low risk environment instead of a moderate risk environment? These parents that sued DeSantis sure did. And they won! -

Why do they have to sue for a mandate? All they have to do is slap a mask on little Johnny and send him on his way no? 🙄
It’s about lowering risk. The lowest risk is when you and the people you’re around are masked: -

With the #<$%ing Taliban? Resulting in the loss of American life? You cant possibly be serious. And you are flat out nuts if you think this makes any other country trust us. American lives were/are at stake and you are worried about offending the Taliban. Unreal.
Regardless, there was NO REASON to pull put this early, and without coordinating with our allies and civilians.
So we shouldn’t have made an agreement with the Taliban? Who is that on? Which administration did that? -

Well then, that's on him. He changed every other policy/plan Trump had.
And you think that any other country feels they can count on us now? England doesn't.
The prior administration made it clear you can’t trust the US by doing things like backing out of international agreements. It’s on this administration to change that and part one is keeping the international promises we make.International diplomacy is different than domestic affairs. Domestic affairs change admin to admin but international allies need to rely on relations with the country and not the admin.
Biden keeping Trumps international agreements is what should be done for this country to start building standing back in the international community.

Just breath and remember facts are your friends. Parents are literally suing and winning to make sure mask mandates are in place in schools. -

Stop looking at this through partisan blinders. I agree that Trump is a POS, ok? He was right that we needed to get out of Afghanistan though. Unfortunately, we just can't blame him for how bad Biden @#$%ed this withdrawal up. There was nothing that prevented him from implementing a real evacuation instead of this disasterous panicked retreat, outside of his half azzed attempt to be out by 9/11. I know you want it to be the POS Trump, but this is all on Biden. And since when did he have an issue with overriding ANY of the previous administration's works? He set a freaking EO record. Just stop with the Trump crap.
To my knowledge Biden has never gone back on any international agreement. It’s terrible for the US as foreign countries can’t trust the US. It’s a big problem I had with the Trump Admin.
How can we have any say internationally if other countries can’t count on the US to stick to it. Biden was right for not changing Trumps negotiated plan.

Your forgot to include stuff that doesn't support your position.
First:
The United States, its allies, and the Coalition will complete withdrawal of all remaining forces from Afghanistan within the remaining nine and a half (9.5) months (From February).
That's the end of the year. PLENTY of time to secure our bases with more troups, withdraw our citizens and allies, collect our property, and evacuate our troops.
Second.
1. (The Taliban) Guarantees and enforcement mechanisms that will prevent the use of the soil of Afghanistan by any group or individual against the security of the United States and its allies.
This one stands on it's own.
Jail tanks! I love it. I heard they are storing those Soviet era nuke back packs in the library at Sing Sing.
And you ignore the Trump admin withdrew troop levels to 2,500 while:The United States is committed to start immediately to work with all relevant sides on a plan to expeditiously release combat and political prisoners as a confidence building measure with the coordination and approval of all relevant sides. Up to five thousand (5,000) prisoners of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban and up to one thousand (1,000) prisoners of the other side will be released by March 10, 2020, the first day of intra-Afghan negotiations, which corresponds to Rajab 15, 1441 on the Hijri Lunar calendar and Hoot 20, 1398 on the Hijri Solar calendar. The relevant sides have the goal of releasing all the remaining prisoners over the course of the subsequent three months. The United States commits to completing this goal. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban commits that its released prisoners will be committed to the responsibilities mentioned in this agreement so that they will not pose a threat to the security of the United States and its allies.
So when Trump left office we had 2,500 troops on the group while releasing 5,000 taliban.

Let me ask you. If YOU were going to pull out of a country like Afghanistan, would you consider putting some reinforcements in there until you could evacuate the civis, and THEN pull the troops and equipment?
The United States is committed to withdraw from Afghanistan all military forces of the United States, its allies, and Coalition partners, including all non-diplomatic civilian personnel, private security contractors, trainers, advisors, and supporting services personnel within fourteen (14) months following announcement of this agreement, and will take the following measures in this regard:
.
I.
II
A. The United States, its allies, and the Coalition will take the following measures in the first one hundred thirty-five (135) days:
1) They will reduce the number of U.S. forces in Afghanistan to eight thousand six hundred (8,600) and proportionally bring reduction in the number of its allies and Coalition forces.
2) The United States, its allies, and the Coalition will withdraw all their forces from five (5) military bases
https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Agreement-For-Bringing-Peace-to-Afghanistan-02.29.20.pdfCould be a good idea why don’t we look at the negotiation and see if that was considered. Oh it wasn’t.

So in turn a governor can't tell School districts they need to mandate masks.....
Local choice good when big bad R governor issues mandates.........local choice bad when D gov issues mandates.
Logic.
The Democrat governor of California is going to be recalled and replaced by a Republican. California.
Keep telling yourselves leaders like DeSantis are the totalitarians and that parents want their kids in masks all day every day.
source on that other than your feels? Polling right now shows keeping Newsom. And yes saying polls aren’t real are using your feels and not facts.Parents want their kids in masks all day as it keeps them safe. That’s why parents sued DeSantis admin and easily won over an oppressive regime.

Don’t bring facts and reality into the discussion…we’re busy trying to find a reason to blame Donald Trump dammit!
Which overlooks the fact the pull out was part of a negotiation and the troop withdraw all came under that negotiation:The United States is committed to withdraw from Afghanistan all military forces of the United States, its allies, and Coalition partners, including all non-diplomatic civilian personnel, private security contractors, trainers, advisors, and supporting services personnel within fourteen (14) months following announcement of this agreement, and will take the following measures in this regard:

Dude, what's wrong with you? Trump was a piece of garbage, but he didn't oversee this pullout of Afghanistan. This administration did. You trying to blame everything on Trump makes you look like a fool and a coward.
that’s not true.The US troops were pulled out prior to Biden being President and when Biden took over troops were down to 2,500 there:

DeSantis looking more like Trump. Coming up with totalitarian policies and seeing them being removed by courts:

So you asked your clients if they were vaccinated and if not you said “sorry…you’re on your own”? For your sake I hope that doesn’t get out into the community. What other poor “hygiene” questions did you ask? How about birth control? Over population is a huge problem. What about child car seats. That was brought up not long ago. Anything else that is none of your business thar has zero bearing on your relationship? I couldn’t imagine if I asked my clients that.
And sounds like you should not have had children.
Good lord. Always the stick and never the carrot. How about discounts for those that HAVE been vaccinated?
My client hygiene was getting rid of poor performing clients, late paying, low realization, etc. No idea what your babbling on about.Anyone who has had a chance to get vaccinated and hasn’t deserves any negatives that come with it. Like not getting to go to a college they want because the college mandates it, paying more for health insurance, not being able to go places.

Polling isn't that good for him either. I think he's playing to the Republican presidential primaries with his policies rather than focusing on his reelection campaign for governor. Whether it's for president or trying to run with Trump on the ticket as VP.
Ron DeSantis hit with brutal poll numbers as COVID-19 surges in Florida
New polling from Quinnipiac shows that Florida residents are broadly in favor of taking precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including the mask mandates that DeSantis has tried banning in public schools.
Overall, 60 percent of Florida voters support school mask mandates, while just 36 percent are opposed.
DeSantis's policy of cutting off salaries of school leaders who defy his mask mandate ban, meanwhile, is even more politically toxic for the governor, as just 25 percent say the policy is a good idea while 69 percent say it's a bad idea.
And that’s really sad that this guy is playing with the lives of kids for political gain. -

So you dump a high end tax client that’s not vaccinated? Send them my way!
I just went through client hygiene last year dumping people. You should have asked then!7 hours ago, Chef Jim said:
Again I’m addressing your lack of compassion with your ***** then comment.
Fair enough on your addiction comment.
Compassion goes out the door after awhile. I have a 5 year old. If she does something wrong, I’m understanding tell her she did whatever wrong and explain why it’s wrong.If I get to the point of telling her 2.000 times what you’re doing is wrong and here’s why, the compassion I had for her mistake the first time is gone.

You do high end tax and this is your reply? 🤦🏻♂️
Yea the meme was the truth doesn’t mind being questioned. Trumps entire admin hated being questioned. The epitome of that was the tax returns. I guess you could do it with all the other Trump things where Trump or the Trump admin refused to be disposed or provide information.Either way the meme is dumb because it’s antithetical to how Trump/Trump-admin operated.

So OD arrivals at the ER? They just get stacked up like cords of wood?
Ha! The one that knows the queens date of birth.
Again I’m not sure you understand what triage is.
Outside of that there’s arguments of genetics in addiction vs being an idiot and not getting vaxxed.

Why is a vaxxed person a better use of time?
***** them? I hope you don’t work in healthcare.
i work in in high end tax. We’re into client hygiene right now and getting rid crap. Same thing here F them. If you purposely put yourself in a dangerous situation why should you get priority?If you’re Evil Kenevil (I spelled that wrong I’m sure) should a hospital give you priority over other people when you break bones?

Just now, Chef Jim said:
Why is a vaxxed person a better use of time?
Because they did something to mitigate their situation. -

Of course it’s common in ER. Again a Doctor that denies care based on vaccination status should be stripped of their ability to practice medicine.
EMT: we have a severe head wound. Vitals are weak
ER Triage: car accident?
EMT: yes.
ER Triage: we’re they wearing a seatbelt?EMT: no
ER Triage: end of the line!!

Compassion. You may have heard of it.
F them. They used their freedom of choice to make a dumb choice. -
1 minute ago, Chef Jim said:
Not enough information.
It’s an example of lack of compassion.
its not. You have a set amount of time you can devote to people. Time is a constant that you can’t expand. Triage is about using time as efficiently as possible.If you have 2 Covid cases where both could die, you take the person who is vaxxed over unvaxxed because it’s a better use of time. Choices have consequences.
