This is not about who is or isn't, it isn't about the color or gender of those who are or not, its about the narrative that its all right wing, evil white men, not getting it. ITs all the evil trump supporters not getting it. It could never be the left. Its statically a fact that the minority population is 80%+ liberal in nature and vote democrat, and they are not getting vaccinated either. So its not a left vs right argument. its not republicans not getting it that is causing the spread, its both sides and all genders and all colors, but it continues to be a false narrative that the large majority of anitvaxxers are white men. Its not! the stats prove it.

Its the fact that the left will not address the fact that minorites are not getting it at the rate of Caucasians. Its the fact that they cant address it, because they have tossed race bait at every single thing, and pointing it out makes them "racists for doing it" Its because people are not getting it because they

1. cant
2. have already had covid and see no reason to, (like 99% of other diseases, you don't get a vaccine after you have had it)
3. they are afraid of it, or do not trust the system
4. they are holistic and don't take any vaccines
5. they don't care
etc etc etc you can go on for ever. How about stop with the "white man antivaxxer bs" and address the issue.

Once again crickets to the facts that don’t support the lies you’ve spewed for months. Another giant mushroom tip .

No but it does say blacks represent less than 5 percent , 2.9 percent, of the vaccinated total which I am sure Doug “mis analyzed “ meaning percent of their population instead of the percent of total vaccinated population.

Chart still shows black population well below the baseline once again illustrating the fact the right whites aren’t the boogeyman again

Poor Biden doesn’t even know what day of the week it is anymore he’s been hiding in a dark room for so long. Guy thinks people were hanging off planes 4-5 days ago when it was two. Typical 95SN answer. My mistakes were 5 days ago…….. they never happened and I’ll only talk about today , today people can just show their passers and the Taliban will allow these Americans free passage. Bwahahahahh. Who writes this BS for him


CNN couldn’t even let the amount of BS spewing from his mouth pass as accurate.

Also shows whites lagging Latinos and Asians? So maybe they can still be second place boogeyman? Sure whites are no Michael Myers or Freddie Kuger, but maybe Chuckie? Or Krampus?

I actually think it's the white's fault that minorities aren't getting the vaccine. Clearly we're not being equitable and inclusive enough to have a diverse vaxxed community.

Our county community health services committee has put together medi bus programs. going to rural, and high minority areas in the county. Begging people to get it, and the end game is exactly what the numbers say. We have low population areas, many poor, many minority and high populations areas with same results. The minatory population is just now starting to get more vaccines. So for the last 5 months, its been very low. Everyone keeps making this political, lets agree, its not political less a very small % of people on both sides.

If it was, there would be much greater numbers of those not getting it. I am not for it or against it, I think it will rear its head later in life, but its a gamble and everyone has to make that decision. Its experimental for a reason. No one knows the long term affects of the vaccine or the virus.

The only political game being played is the areas that keep non vaccinated for being able to shop or go to work. etc etc

If you want to fix it, start antibody testing everyone. This could have been started last year, would have made all this easier and everyone would have a "card" stating antibodies or no antibodies" Then you could focus on prevention.

I think the idea that “if I got it I won’t get it again” is a bit of a myth. See xstar’s experience, for example. Probably better than never being infected, but not foolproof.

I have been vaccinated, and have had delta. I have many person friends, all doctors, who have had it more than one time. and have had been vaccinated. Its not going to go away, as it is continually changing because it is a corona.

I hate the race bait, political game when it comes to health care. It should not have any bearing on who is getting vaccinated or why they are or not. I also hate the political spin on the "reason" its spreading. I have not hate or ill will to anyone or any group or color or religion. I want to see all people be healthy and successful in life.

I made it a point to point out a group of people who are not getting vaccinated, not because of their color, but because of their political history of leaning to the left. the reason was to show the hypocrisy the political left has created by spreading fake new on who is to blame. IMO, neither are to blame! There are solid reasons to get it and to not get it. Its each persons right to decide. That is the key missing from all sides.

Just think of all the rhetoric from the leftist mouthpieces encouraging riots , burning down cities , promotion of violence in which police had to stand out for 18-24hrs plus exposed to for an entire year. Over 98 percent of the covid deaths were duty related , meaning they didn’t have the ability to scour in their basements sucking their thumbs ****ting themselves like you did. . Over 75% of of those in the line duty covid related deaths had secondary high risk scenarios which officers chose to ignore in order to protect the good people of the world. Don’t try an exploit their deaths for some bull**** nonsensical argument that you can’t seem to comprehend in the slightest. Your very vote , support of the Democratic Party , and idiotic rhetoric are more responsible for their deaths than the virus is.

Until your balls drop from that vagina between your legs you haven’t earned the right to speak on their behalf.

Once again the deflection instead of the answers. Like the real pile of white guilt **** you are. You haven’t won a single argument here in a Over a month. The data serves you a **** sandwich at just about every turn at every subject you attempt to spew . The cdc and fbi have consistently proved you a complete liar. It’s time to go back to the drawing board in your basement and regroup. You’ve been slapped in the face more times by mushroom tips than Harris has given Bj’s too.


It’s unreal the amount of shift on your. It’s an insurrection when an officer dies at the Capitol because it aligns with your cause. But the daily deaths are just a cost of doing business and the butt end of “take your guns away joke” . ……. Once again exposing you as the joke.


And a friendly reminder.

Had covid
Have vaccine
Had delta.


Still here never once hid in my basement.

Vaccinated department members out with positive covid 232.

Unvaccinated department members out on covid. 128

Of the vaccinated members 66 percent have the Pfizer

Year to date , year to date is logged 28 days after the vaccine was offered to first responders as a priority.

Year to date Vaccinated covid positives on leave at one point 397
Year to date unvaccinated covid positives on leave at one point 246

To be fair over 70% of department is vaccinated. They won’t release the sex or race of the numbers internally , but I bet the stats mimick the city as whole and black officers as a percentage have a higher unvaccinated rate.
Nice job. It's hilarious how many times he keeps coming back to be roasted and proven a liar over and over. I guess some losers are willing to absorb all kinds of negative attention, so long as it's attention of some kind. Sad for him.

If you hate the race bate and political game then it's best not to talk about race or political leanings in this context imo just point out it doesn't matter what race or leaning they are, just support the pathway for everyone to get vaccinated.

The left wrote the book on race baiting and political games. Your post is totally disingenuous because it implies Doug is racist when the opposite is true. The only reason race gets brought into the vaccine discussion is because you liars on the left refuse to clean your own house and stop being so hypocritical. You don’t like anyone pointing out your total failure to get your own people to obey. Your own people are the ones who “need” to take the mark according to you and they don’t trust you. Get that? Your own people don’t trust you and what you keep pushing. As more info comes out, your case for taking the mark gets worse. Also, your “just support the pathway” nonsense is just that on two levels. 1. Many people (including the ones who don’t trust you) don’t see taking the mark as the best way for them to go. It’s an active, conscious choice they’re making. In every single interview I’ve done, people have made their decisions based on their own research and not one of them has taken it lightly. That goes for vaxxed as well as unvaxxed. Two thirds of the people I’ve spoken to about it at work (about 30 total) have been black. Two Asian and the rest were crackers. 2. There is MORE than a clear pathway for anyone in this country. They will literally come to your door with free prizes and free vaccine whenever you want. Doesn’t matter if you’re in the sticks or in da hood so stop lying by implying there are a bunch of road blocks preventing it and somehow people are disenfranchised. That libtard play has been figured out already. You’re just embarrassing yourself more now.

Oh yeah? Just ask Al tax-cheat Sharpton or Jesse shake-down Jackson. They are two of the most well known offenders. You really don’t know this country’s history and need to learn when to stay in your lane.

Speaking of Jesse , he just tested positive for covid while being vaccinated. He attended the recent slain officers funeral , shook hands and did photo ops ,

Not be outdone, using his black card , he instead of waiting for the 2.5-3hr line to pay his respects, he and his security detail walked right to the front , posed for pictures , and shook hands. Only to test positive the very next day. Well done Jesse.



Here is a great article on the hypocrisy of BLM and the woke Hollywood elite.

Muslim ban to keep out the terrorists.

The wall was not race based it was based on the federal law of illegal immigrants.


A travel ban was intuited based on terror alerts .


Both of those were based on national security not race. You know. Kinda of like closing the borders to protect your people from covid. I appreciate you feeble attempt but try and Google some better ideas that have some substance, you know which you support.


Those are some of the farthest stretches of race based policies and even with that nonsensical stretch you couldn’t provide more than 2.

Ohhhhhh there goes the vaccinated argument with CDC stats again. Over 75% of nee positive cases are in the vaccinated.


4 of which hospitalized.




https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnb...accinated.html

And then there is this gem.

. The new data, published in the U.S. agency's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, also found that fully vaccinated people who get infected carry as much of the virus in their nose as unvaccinated people, and could spread it to other individuals.

Whoa viral loads were the same between both in the research. Once again the hard data mushroom stamping or resident perpetual liar.

And yet not according to this. https://www.scientificamerican.com/a...about-enough1/


So what's the point? With eveything we know, what's the real downside to getting vaccinated? Do you really want to try and argue the risks outweigh the benefits?

Thats the exact race bait the left is pushing. they want voters not citizens. they won't let Cubans in because, historically, cubans tend to lean right.

As for the boarder, your country has been in lockdown for travel, at different levels for over a year. what hate is that directed to?

We have a right to keep our country safe, you anyone who wants to come can come legally. Why is that so hard to understand. we take more refugees, per year, that any other country in the world. How about we send 2 million to NZ. We cannot take everyone at any given moment. its not sustainable, and we have a right to protect our families and land.

You just stepped into 95 territory on the stupidity/liar scale. There is so much idiocy woven into your post that it begs dissection and open flames, but then, I think you posted that because of the inner troll that guides you at times. I honestly don’t think you’re as stupid as 95 even though you seem to try to smell his farts on occasion. Fair warning to stop now before relegation to the pit of shame that is 95’s existence.

For certain people it does. For other’s it doesn’t.

The argument is about choice , the argument is the rhetoric and garbage being speeed about causes and continued outbreaks being pushed by the media and the White House are just not true. The argument is a choice not a mandate. The argument is vaccinated individuals transmit and contract the virus just like unvaccinated people.

Those are the arguments. Your argument as an endgame doesn’t allow those others not to be talking points and/or points of why vaccine rates are so low. Any person with common sense realizes that. The fact that outright lies arespewed daily for political theater rather than national health are the precise reason people don’t trust any of it!

Yes that is the argument, but what is never factored in by "freedom warriors" is by not getting vacinated you are taking away another persons freedom of not getting sick.

Yes but that's not true is it. If the vaccine prevents you from getting sick then it's impossible for you to pass it on.

Yes that is the argument, but what is never factored in by "freedom warriors" is by not getting vacinated you are taking away another persons freedom of not getting sick.facts say you’re a liar….. vaccinated person is just as big a threat as a carriers and a transmitter argument is a complete farce if the vaccine works as said. No freedom is being taken away .


Yes but that's not true is it. If the vaccine prevents you from getting sick then it's impossible for you to pass it on. In your opinion


If those were really the arguments then it would be easily resolved. Not when the left is in charge

The real argument is you don't get to tell me what to do.
that’s is precsely the argument. Government doesn’t make your health choices for you.

The real argument is you don't get to tell me what to do.
What do you mean that vaccinated people do not spread it. They do, they also get it. I know I had delta and have ben vaxxed for 5 months. Also Vaccinated are spreading it as much as non, as the visual load is being found at equal levele in vax'd and non vax'd

This argument about "freedom warriors" has nothing to do covid. It has to do with oppression. It happened during AIDS. People were being told its a gay mans disease, only spread by gay men, That gay men should abstain from sex, but it was ok for heterosexual couples to have at it!

Then they figured out it was not a "gay mans" disease, it was spreading in both environments, but only sex was the cause. Then they found out it was being spread by blood, blood transfusions, non sterilized dental handpieces, etc etc etc

Just like now, covid is not a non vaccinated "mans" disease and its being spread with or without the vaccine.

What the government wants to do is segregate the vax'd from the non vax'd and limit the movement and abilities of the non compliant from having equal rights to their constitution freedoms. Once you get to that position, it becomes NZ lock downs when 1 person tests positive

In the 60's, children were getting RSV, its 90% mild in children, but they came up with a vaccine, and then found out after the fact, it enhanced the disease. There has been failures vaccines, many, and we have no clue what the long term results are of what we all have put into our bodies to change our immune systems.

ITs a gamble, and for some, its very difficult to trust the people who you blatantly see breaking the rules that they make. No different than the "don't do drugs" movement. The commercials were directed to Parents more than children. Why? Remember the commercials. The parent would find drugs in "little jonnys backpack" Confront the child "who did you get this from, where did you lean this?" Respond " I learned it from watching you daddy!"

Covid, why did you think it was safe to go into a large crowd of people "I leaned it from watching you Pelosi" The hypocrisy is out of control. SHE is 80 years old (or close to it) She, obviously is not afraid of getting it, or she would not be doing what she does. Breaking the rules she and others in power have made! And if its ok for the rule makers, its ok for ME!

This argument about "freedom warriors" has nothing to do covid. It has to do with oppression. It happened during AIDS. People were being told its a gay mans disease, only spread by gay men, That gay men should abstain from sex, but it was ok for heterosexual couples to have at it!

Then they figured out it was not a "gay mans" disease, it was spreading in both environments, but only sex was the cause. Then they found out it was being spread by blood, blood transfusions, non sterilized dental handpieces, etc etc etc

Just like now, covid is not a non vaccinated "mans" disease and its being spread with or without the vaccine.

What the government wants to do is segregate the vax'd from the non vax'd and limit the movement and abilities of the non compliant from having equal rights to their constitution freedoms. Once you get to that position, it becomes NZ lock downs when 1 person tests positive

then you add insult to injury and the "for thee and not for me" keeps appearing on the news, where the people making the rules are not following them, all the while, people are being punished for fear of misinformation, BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD A HISTORY or misinformation!

Yes that is the argument, but what is never factored in by "freedom warriors" is by not getting vacinated you are taking away another persons freedom of not getting sick.


Yes but that's not true is it. If the vaccine prevents you from getting sick then it's impossible for you to pass it on.


If those were really the arguments then it would be easily resolved.

The real argument is you don't get to tell me what to do.

I was on a boat with a Houston ER doctor this weekend and he said that they have had zero fully vaccinated sent to the ICU at his hospital. He said there have been breakthrough cases and even a few were admitted for fluids and breathing treatments and then released. He said that in the last month the has been an obvious shift to younger people 30-50 range.

A 40 year old died in my neighborhood this weekend. She was healthy. Her facebook posts read like a slow motion train wreck. She was sick 20 days and died 4 hrs from home because there were no available beds in Houston.

I know those are just data points. Do what you want with that information. I am kinda tired of talking about it. Just be safe and do what you can to reduce your risk and the risk for others.

Can you tell me where I ever said it was BS ? I’ve actual said the opposite many of time since the beginning. It’s just never was the blanket death virus it was ever portrayed , it was very targeted. It was over exploited and pushed for political theater. Covid is real , it’s a real virus , I’ve said it since day one. The issue as it is the fear mongering , nonsensical rhetoric , idiotic policies , and outright lies spewed about it. If it’s wasn’t exploited to the degree it was since the beginning by the left you’d have a lot less deaths. Texas hospitals are overrun according to some sources with over 77% of their hospitalizations being illegals. So spare me the covid bull**** and close the ****ing border. Only one to blame for their severe outbreak is the bumbling, stumbling, idiot in chief.


I’d volunteer , but my weekly average of 16hr days chasing violent democrats around shooting each other, innocent civilians , and children is unfortunately taking all my time. The hospitals where I am at are filled with more gunshot vIctims than covid deaths. Yet we’ve had no marches or protests or buildings burning in the name of Black Lives after the 11th straight week of over 100 black people shot.

Just saw a BBC article stating that they are finding the best case for future immunity is to have had COVID then receive the vaccine.

As we know, the vaccine is a spike protein vaccine. However they are finding (or maybe already knew), that muscle based vaccine is not the same as nose and throat immunization. I guess there are different types of proteins involved.

Now, I wonder if there is going to be a backlash of lawsuits against those establishments that force vaccines, thus preventing those who potentially wanted the ability to have maximum immunity moving forward removed from their rights?

https://www.bbc.com/news/health-58270098

Covid: What’s the best way to top up our immunity?

Where in the body is the immunity?

This matters. There is a whole different suite of antibodies (known as immunoglobulin As) in the nose and lungs, compared with those (immunoglobulin Gs) that we measure in the blood.

The former is more important as a barrier to infection. Natural infection, because it is in the nose rather than a jab in the arm, may be a better route to those antibodies, and nasal vaccines are being investigated too.

How well it stops infection or prevents severe disease

We know there have been cases of people catching the virus twice (re-infection) and of being vaccinated and catching Covid (known as breakthrough infection).

"Neither gives you complete protection versus infection, but the immunity you get from either seems to protect you pretty well from serious illness," said Prof Finn, from the University of Bristol.

Antibody levels are, on average, higher about a month after vaccination than infection. However, there is a huge gulf in antibodies between those who are asymptomatic (who don't make very much) and those who get a severe bout of Covid.

The biggest immune response comes from people who caught Covid and were then vaccinated. We're still waiting for data on what happens the other way round.

Did you read the article you actually posted. It’s outlines what he actually did to quell the violence under the plan he supported. Are you claiming that plan didn’t work? They didn’t lose a single American soldier in combat under his plan , and he was able to reduce the amount of American soldiers on their soil. Sounds like he deserves a Medal for his plan .

not getting vaccine so I can get sick first so that I can then get vaccine so I can be protected against getting sick... seems like rather circular logic.

While it may be a legitimate exercise of police power, it does not mean it can't be challenged especially if they mandated experimental drugs. I know it is now FDA approved (well the one is). If people can be proved they were harmed, it could be pandoras box. I agree, it most likely is doubtful but possible.

I don't think it is completely circular reasoning. The recovery rate is extremely high especially for the healthy. Many people may think it to be appropriate to try and maximize their effectiveness as we may move to more dangerous strains in the future.

Absolutely the plan worked, it was a great agreement and I said so at the time but slamming Biden for carrying out the agreement you agree with seems extremely odd. The military had 18 months to prepare for this withdrawl, the fact it has been mishandled should be laid at their feet not Biden's.

Thats not true. The voter has to sign the ballot, signatures have to match. If you hand it off to someone to drop off, that person also has to sign it. What you propose wont happen without a paper trail. Thats why mail-in voting is safe.

I don’t think you understand how long term plans work. They’re constantly evolving. You also need an “end game “ plan in place. Blaming Trump because Biden failed miserably at devising an end game plan to exit id downright comical.

Biden is “ The Commander in Chief” . He’s the head man any military failure falls at his feet. The fact he had zero clue is a shinning light into his failure as a president. This isn’t his first foreign policy failure. For **** sake he was the VP for 8 yrs. his lack of foresight is alarming. The amount of high end military equipment left on the ground for our enemies to procure is astronomical. While not uncommon to leave equipment in areas of deployment , the standard is you destroy that technology and equipment if you do so. It’s absurd to think all that equipment could have made it home. Running missions to carry tons of equipment into safe zones scattered throughout other countries would cost millions in fuel and manpower. Also very hard to conceal. Again though the standard is to destroy it not hand it over to your enemies.

What also is unrealistic is getting every single American citizen out of Afghanistan. Many citizens are there on their own accord unrelated to military ops. Where we failed is not giving those People an opportunity to leave before the military does. You can’t just pull the plug and leave in the middle of the night . Biden’s regime failed , they failed to listen to the highest ranking military officials on the ground in Afghanistan , they failed to heed the 70 percent takeover that was already surging prior to his action , and they failed to make adjustments and adhere the red flags plastered all around the country.

The ranking combat zone military leaders pleaded their case , the political theater generals sitting with Biden’s fingers up their ass back home were more concerned about CRT being taught to the military than our actual combat missions, and once again used American soldiers for political theater due to a 9-11 anniversary date.

Many healthy unvaccinated people seem fine with the fact they have a 99.99 percent chance they won’t die after contracting the virus.

They’re willing to take those odds in order to stand up against the marxist commies attempting to take over our once great Nation.

Dip$hittious Maximus, getting vaxxed won’t stop future strains. It might help new strains develop though. When did CNN tell you getting vaxxed will stop new strains? I attempted to suffer through a part of the Don pole-smoker Lemon show last night and didn’t hear him mention it at all. Are you ever gonna stop lying?

I'm not blaming trump at all. What's happening here is Biden said no more I'm ending this war and the army and media are salty about it and are doing their best to make it as bad as possible. That's it, the military industrial complex never like ending a grift and are stamping their feet.

Thats because they're fools. If it were true, the hospitals in TX, FL, Miss, ALA....wouldnt be full and Army and Air Force doctors and nurses would not be deployed to their hospitals to handle all the overflow. The Army wouldnt be building field hospitals in parking garages. Hospitals wouldnt need freezer trucks parked outside to hold the overflow of dead. The head of the health depts wouldnt be begging for the communities to get vaccinated and calling the Fed for more bodies to help. Would they.

The theory is the virus has a chance to mutate with every transmission, if you can reduce transmission by 80% by vaccinating then you reduce the mutation rate by 80%

There is no accepted science that vaccination increases mutation rate.

The issue at hand isn’t Biden’s choice to end. The issue at had is how he implemented his plan. His plan wa just leave in middle of night on his command. His track record of militaristic foreign policy is a roadmap of disaster his entire political career. That’s what’s being exposed and put on notice. Instead of standing up ….he’s done what he and every dem does. Runs hides and disappeared. Vacationing at arguably what may be one of the biggest time stamps of his presidency.

That's fair enough then, the withdraw has been hilariously bad. Still while a terrible withdrawal isn't great, the fact is its over is 100x more important.

The virus mutates with transmission. More vaccinated= less transmission. Its elementary math.

there is no such thing as break through infection. I have clients, offices and hospitals having staff, all vaccinated, including myself, get covid delta. It may not be as bad or minor symptoms or even not known at first, as covid. but its happening, and vaccinated are spreading it, just the same.

The sooner people recognize that Afghanistan is America's f**kup the sooner we'll be on the road to rational thinking. You had three previous Presidents pouring money and weapons into Afghanistan, which was always destined to failure. It is characteristic of America to engage in tremendous fails and then try to find excuses. If 300K trained and armed troops were going to do nothing but cave and hand over their weapons, then maybe we should be reexamining our failure more closely than just blaming it on a scapegoat that finally made the right decision to put an end to it.

That's right. And there were 300K armed and trained Afghan forces, but they didn't fight. I'm surprised that as Americans who believe freedom doesn't come free that you have so much sympathy for a country that would lay down their arms. This is the kind of mentality that gets us into these messes. Let America do all the work and bring other nations into the first world so that can compete with Americans for jobs and resources. Wouldn't it make more sense to let them live their backwards lives? Wouldn't it have made more sense to crush them after 9/11, then leave and let them know we'll come back twice as hard if we find more terrorist camps in their country?

Just believe the truth.
Before you can pass the virus on to someone else, you must first become infected.Vaccines reduce this massively, with efficacies between 60 and 90%.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02261-8

Once a person is infected, the adaptive immune system means the infection is cleared from the body more quickly in a vaccinated/previously infected person than someone with no existing immunity. This leaves a shorter period of time when the viral load is high enough to infect others. And this is borne out by the data.

https://www.gavi.org/vaccineswork/mo...-how-does-work

immunisation with either the Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccine reduced the chance of onward virus transmission by 40-60%

Put the two together and a vaccinated person is between 76% and 96% less likely to infect another person than someone unvaccinated.

Edit - this is based on the data/studies we have done so far. There's evidence that protection against infection is a bit lower for Delta and a possibility that immunity to infection may wane over time. However, it's also been shown that a booster improves the efficacy against Delta.

So the takeaway shouldn't the absolute figures, which are prone to margins of error anyway. It's that vaccines do a LOT to reduce the spread of infection as well as protecting individuals against severe outcomes, but it's important that we keep our eye on the ball and be ready to use boosters and new vaccines to maintain our edge in this fight against covid.

ITs not breakthrough, its a different strain of the corona. Like the the common cold, it rapidly changes, and will continue forever. The vaccine was not and is not designed for the change in the protein or config of the virus. So its just another virus, and i am not saying don't get it, or get it. I am saying, its your personal decision

And there you have it. In the face of botching one of the biggest military movements in our history as a country. ………..Biden takes a knee to disgrace the country he leads in order to celebrate with the WNBA’s woke warriors. Un****ingbelievable ,

First let’s start with the 300k number it’s already been completely debunked and proven false by every fact checker on both sides. 125k is the actual number.


I don’t disagree with any of that. We should have never took an occupying force there. We shoulda went in struck , eliminated the threats very swiftly and justly and exited . Head to the negotiating table and explain if we need to do it again it will be even worse . The idea America shoulda been acting as security guards fo almost 2 decades inside of a country is absurd. Once our terrorist in chief was elected ( ol Hussein Obama ) they new exactly what needed to be done. They also knew America wasn’t about to use any ounce of biolent force to over come them. Trumps original plan was to leave. , he however learned very quickly that that was not feasible due to the situation he inherited. Did his best to formulate a long term plan , and I believe for sure would’ve pulled us completely out. Argue all you want he had 4 yrs you to do it. His most recent plan of exit and peace kept Americans from dying , reduced the occupying forces tremendously , but realized he couldn’t pull the plug just then , but his actions were headed that way.

While Biden failed completely , the last push of Taliban insurgence over the past yr showed that Afghanistan was a lost cause. The popes of that country didn’t want to fight for their freedom and you can’t argue that otherwise based on what just transpired.
