Biden has a lot of political capital to spend and he spent some on Afghanistan, it will end up being a positive for him, everyone wanted us out.

This was going to happen no matter what we did, a chaotic day at an airport and us leaving a couple weeks early is not a giant issue in the grand scheme of things.

True.

People do NOT know or read history, because the VietNam war went the same way.

World War 2's ending was much smoother.

Normal people understand this situation in context, and the Republican responsibilities for it.

The G.O.P. bloodsuckers shall soon move on to other sores.
