The Pubs love to dump the entire Afghan disaster on Joe. Bullshit…..

 Henry Rissier, Silverthorne Biden’s share of blame for the Afghanistan disaster is small

Re: “Biden’s lies,” Sept. 30 letter to the editor The letter writer’s interpretation of the Senate hearings disqualifies him from being a helpful source of information for those who don’t have time to watch the hearings. His emphasis is on whether or not President Joe Biden lied about the number of troops to remain in Afghanistan as being central to creating the “biggest disaster in American history.”

Leaving aside the letter writer’s hyperbole and selective reading of American history, the failure in Afghanistan was described as a 20year series of failures. Add in the February 2020 agreement signed by President Donald Trump with the Taliban (not the Afghan government or military) that prohibited any air strikes by U.S. forces, released 4,000 to 5,000 Taliban prisoners, and announced a departure date, and you have, indeed, a formula for disaster.

Toss in no Trump administration planning for the actual departure and an emboldened Taliban opposed by an incompetent and corrupt Afghan military, yep, that’s surely a disaster.

But the letter writer apparently didn’t hear any of this other information, plus so much more. So, I”ll pass on his being my source of information. But let’s suppose that Biden did lie. That means he has another 29,999 more lies in order to match former President Trump.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
