Official LRC President Joseph R Biden Thread

David Axelrod (who is no fan of Trump) had this to say about our current POTUS:

"Don't underestimate Joe's ability to fu*k things up"- Obama

You cannot be a legal American citizen and a Biden supporter. No American would support what this dumpster fire of a human is doing to this nation. You’re not a Biden supporter, you’re a Trump hater.

It’s great knowing our homeland could be attacked at any moment and we have literally no leader to look to for answers, or to even give half of a fvck. It would take 2-3 days to get a “speech,” our press sec would take a week off, and Trump would get blamed. That’s about it.

All so Democrats can pass their agenda of "free" daycare, "free" UBI, "free" loan pay off, "free" reparations and more open borders.

While all eyes were on Afghanistan yesterday, the Biden Administration announced a historic expansion to the nation’s food stamp program—lifting SNAP benefits by 30%.

Food stamps are used by 12% of the US population.

Helping out the Blue State MOOCHERS....

California, with 12% of the USA population has 35% of the USA's Welfare Moochers.

This bleeping guy. You supported Trump. You are a clown. Go back to posting your anti COVID nonsense.

They should take every precaution to protect themselves.

So that's a no. You don't care about people with pre-existing conditions and you certainly aren't man enough to take a shot for them.

Dude you are progressive Biden voter. Honestly, I am just laughing my a$s off.

Let me know if you set up a Go-Fund-Me page to support yourself.

I will donate...

Also, we don't do COVID in Idaho. So while you bust your butt to take all the precautions that the DNC wants you to - while you do that.

I do nothing. Neither does my state.

Let that sink in. LET IT SINK IN

HAHAHA. LOL.

Let me know how how the mandates and lockdowns go for you Sally!

Could it have been done better? Maybe, but not by much.

Will people forget about how we got out and just be glad we are out? Yes.

There is nothing for Biden to recover from. Memories are short.

The overriding narrative will be that the war is finally over and that's all that anyone will really care about in 6 months.

Also lost in this Afghan mess, Biden begged OPEC to produce more oil while at the same time halting our domestic drilling. 🤦‍♂️

"I voted Biden. Trump is a douche bag and anybody who supported him I believe to be the same."

And here lies the divide.

There will never be unity. One side of the divide thinks that children should go to drag shows, women have penises, infanticide is good, and all white people are racist. There's no common ground between us. I despise your worldview and have no respect for those who ascribe to it.

It's makes it really easy since every policy from the left is free cr@p for their loser base. A bunch of 'men' voting for the government to provide for them. It's so pathetic and weak - like YOU.

How do people not understand after 20 fvcking years of troop activity and money spent that this is obviously not the case. The only options were to leave, or to become a permanent occupying force and turn Afghanistan into a colony.

I'll say it again - what you are seeing unfold is the inevitable result. You could replay the past 20 years and re-spend how ever many trillions of dollars in a near infinite number of different permutations, and every single one of them would lead to this endgame.

You appear to be failing to separate two different things:

1) Our ability to build a self-sustainable Afghan military? We now have the depressingly clear, utterly unambiguous answer: Completely hopeless. We did, indeed, waste essentially ALL efforts and money and associated casualties across 20 years of trying to make them into a functioning military/government.

2) The number of allied forces needed to bolster the ANSF sufficient to keep the Taliban at bay? (And since our only reason to stay there would be counter-terrorism, "at bay" would be defined as, "The Taliban isn't substantively interfering with our CT mission.")

So, to disagree, as you have above, with the simple statement that SOME level of allied troops/money/support could have held back the Taliban indefinitely is nonsensical. OF COURSE there is SOME level (and it's clearly somewhere below the 100K+ we had there for a while). One could have hoped that it was a low 5-figures number. That's what we've had there for almost 10 years, after the draw-down from Obama's surge (my rough recollection is that we went from 100K+, to 60-something, to 30-something, to about 10K, and finally to about 2.5K). And during that time the Taliban obviously still made it very miserable for the ANSF, and did still kill relatively small numbers of allied troops. But it was utterly incapable of impeding our CT mission for most or all of that period.

None of this is an argument that we SHOULD have identified that number AND been willing to provide it. But I am curious what that number might have been.

not sure I've ever responded to you, moran, because you are nothing but a moranic troll, but on the off chance you are sincere, let me just tell you that you are a total moran for thinking the Dem party stands for those things and that you would be at all aaffected by them. . You have stuffed your brain with memes and think that you know a thing or two. But nah you are just a moran stuffed full of memes. You are that guy holding up the sign 'get a brain, morans.' That is exactly you, for believing nonsense and then holding your nonsense views against Dems.

But in reality you are just a troll, who got me to answer, so good job on that.

I do hope that you're correct. Because, wow, being an American is starting to be QUITE the drag! First Trumpism (which obviously continues). THEN, the Afghans fold in 10 seconds (and perhaps a BIT more of gut punch to those of who spent time there). AND NOW, the prospect that Biden's botching of the last scene in AFG will INCREASE the chances of MORE Trumpism (which in a country this stupid it probably does).......JFC !!!

Errr . . . the situation in AFG was planned by Trump a year ago. The RNC deleted the following claims from their Facebook site that gloated over Trump's epic peace "win". Note that, "Trump took the lead" meaning that it is entirely his POS. And you think Trumpers will overlook that Trump created the mess, started the removal of troops and equipment. So, what the indent? It looks like a plan by Trump to sabotage the next president if he did not win. If he won he would have returned those troops and more. Having a Trump war in AFG would make him look like a hero to the Trumpers.

- While perhaps not ideal, Biden could have changed course from Trump's plan. New Presidents do it not infrequently. And hell, it's the Taliban, not France. I for one wouldn't have been too ashamed if we changed things up on them.

- Perhaps more importantly, Biden has been quite unapologetic about following through with the plan (while also kinda trying to blame Trump, which is pretty bogus). He's made it very clear that it's what he wanted to do.

- The execution of the withdrawal almost certainly could have been done better. How much of that was bad intel, how much of that was bad planning, and how much of that was Biden's lack of leadership over DoS and DoD, I don't know. But it seems pretty obvious - and probably pretty damn justifiable - that he will take a substantial hit for it.

- This all quite independent of the fact that Trump is an autocrat (and a few dozen other utterly bad and disqualifying things), and the R party is happy to have him as their leader.

Nikeunfort = nonequals. Oops.

Sure. Like trying to change a race that is well over 90% over with backtracking blocked. Biden would have had to add thousands of troops back, and put a lot of military equipment in there. Presidents who would do that without a care about the cost, and lives put at risk, are Shrub and Trump.

Sure Biden screwed up, but Orange Man Bad

What’s amazing is that Biden is effectively trolling trump loving dbags like Gary and Sally by just being a responsible president. They can’t handle it. He’s already saved the country from the covidiot trump and now pulled us out of a war. 95% of Americans wanted us out of Afghanistan and he pulled the trigger - the vast majority of Americans are behind him on this. In the grand scheme of this whole ordeal, nobody but butthurt tzees are going to give a flying that it was a bumpy ride in the end. Biden is a lock for 2024 and I am going to laugh at the mouth breathers bigly again. A bunch of sad and obsessed wimps. Go get your shots! 💉 😓

Your response is nearly incomprehensible, so we'll just leave it there.
