Official LRC President Joseph R Biden Thread

😂😂😂😂😂😂I’m sure you love having to wait 3 years to get your car fixed. Every night for 3 years you’ll wonder if tonight is the night it catches fire. 3 years if not being able to park your car in a garage. 3 years of not being able to park your car near anything because it may catch fire. 3 years of having to watch your car while charging to make sure it is not catching fire. 3 years of not being able to fully charge it. 3 years of not letting the battery get below 25% charge. 3 years of only getting g 60% of range from a car that does get much range. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Congrats. You own a door stop. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

"What we are seeing in Afghanistan right now shouldn’t shock you. It only seems that way because our institutions are steeped in systematic dishonesty. It doesn’t require a dissertation to explain what you’re seeing. Just two sentences.

One: For 20 years, politicians, elites and D.C. military leaders lied to us about Afghanistan.

Two: What happened last week was inevitable, and anyone saying differently is still lying to you.

I know because I was there. Twice. On special operations task forces. I learned Pashto as a U.S. Marine captain and spoke to everyone I could there: everyday people, elites, allies and yes, even the Taliban.

The truth is that the Afghan National Security Forces was a jobs program for Afghans, propped up by U.S. taxpayer dollars — a military jobs program populated by nonmilitary people or “paper” forces (that didn’t really exist) and a bevy of elites grabbing what they could when they could.

You probably didn’t know that. That’s the point.

...

So when people ask me if we made the right call getting out of Afghanistan in 2021, I answer truthfully: Absolutely not. The right call was getting out in 2002. 2003. Every year we didn’t get out was another year the Taliban used to refine their skills and tactics against us — the best fighting force in the world. After two decades, $2 trillion and nearly 2,500 American lives lost, 2021 was way too late to make the right call." - Lucas Kunce, US Marine captain.

Yes indeed. I've said for a long time that the best thing that could happen to the world is for Trump to no longer be in it. That wouldn't completely extinguish Trumpism, but it would help a lot.

Ironically, the best thing that can happen for Democrats in the midterms is for Trump to be heavily involved.

Yes, but this means Dems are really bad at politics, really bad. They mean well and their integrity is light years better but they really suck at winning elections. They never take credit, their gloves never come off, and they don't unite enough. I'm also not convinced the country has fully opened its eyes about the real danger to democracy, the GQP.

this is looking very bad for America - the generic ballot is 50/50...which means the Rs would win many seats, def. control of the house and probably the senate. Dems are thought to need to win the generic ballot by at least 5 points to win seats.

Predictit has an R House at 70% likely but the senate a 50/50 coin toss.

having mccarthy, one of the dumbest most lying people in america as the speaker of the house is going to really, really, really stink. he is just a tool of trump, with no backbone or integrity. And just utterly stupid.

Ok america, one more time into the meat grinder of R rule. Walk away from peace and prosperity of Dem control back into the forever wars, economic crackups and eternal culture war of the Republicans. Freedumb, you morans,

There's going to be a lot of libs crying after the midterm elections. Enjoy your inevitable losses.

I don't worry at all. Statistically, my car is a lot less likely to catch fire than yours.

And as I explained, the longer it takes to get my new battery, the better off I am. Since I got my Tesla Model Y, I don't need another car with long range.

As for door stops, that's what a new gas car will be in a few years. It will be a car that nobody wants to own. I posted this video before, but it bears repeating in case some missed it. The ownership cost of a gas car will soon be more than if you just junked the car and bought a new Tesla.

At that point, the gas car will be as valuable as a flip phone. Even though they still work, you can't even give them away. So you better get out of that dinosaur before it's too late.

Agreed. But I do think Stacy Abrams is helping us get better at politics. We can fight hard and win elections. Georgia is the proof of that.

Of course if was absolutely the right move to leave Afghanistan.

The huge mistake was caused by BAD intelligence. The US had no idea that Afghanistan would crumble so quickly.

And WHO weakened our intelligence agencies by placing political hacks to place of competent seasoned veterans? TRUMP that's who.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 you don’t even have a fully functioning car. 😂😂😂 not only do you have a doorstop, it still will likely catch fire. The manufacturer and a federal agency says not to park it inside or near anything because it is likely to catch on fire. You’ll have to deal with this for 3 more years. And every night wonder if that car you had to park in a middle of a field somewhere will be a melted heap of metal and plastic when you wake up. Before it catches on fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥you can drive it about 100 miles on a charge because of the restrictions gm put on you. 😂😂😂😂can’t sell it can’t drive it much can’t park it inside can’t charge it without watching it. 😂😂😂😂 sounds like a blast. Congrats on your doorstop. 👍👍👍

Do you think tonight is the night it blows up? Maybe the next night. 😂😂😂😂

Wrong. The CIA did warn. Biden screwed this up, deal with it.

Our country has been humiliated as never before, with our commander-in-chief, the de jure leader of the greatest military in the world, humbled by an illiterate and rag-tag army of Taliban fanatics.

Here is what Joe Biden lied about (or perhaps has no idea what is happening around him):

The disappearance of Al Qaeda from Afghanistan.

The supportiveness of our allies.

Americans being able to access the Kabul airport.

It is WAAYYYY past time to relieve Joe Biden of his "presidential" duties.

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/biden-afghanistan-debacle-impact-progressive-agenda

The success of the airlift should be the headline but journos don’t want to be accused of going easy on Biden so they hammer him.

But man these are some big numbers with no American deaths. Given that the vast majority of Americans want us out of Bush’s war, this may play better down the road than it does now.
