    lol...ive been criticizing biden all over this thread including in the back-and-forth we are having right now.

    and talk about deflection...wow! you still cant bring yourself to acknowledge that trump insulted POWs and gold star mothers. what is pathetic is that you and the other trumpers are so quick to criticize biden for being disrespectful to the military while failing to acknowledge that trump was disrespectful for saying POWs are not war heroes and insulting a gold star mother.

    ill ask again - can you link me to any posts of yours where you were critical of trump for what he said about POWs and gold star mothers?

    This is the bullshit team thinking that is holding our country back, Trump is/was far and away a worse human - it is not an eye for an eye when one guy is doing humanatarian things while the other is ripping off his followers and running a scam.

    FFS it is staggering the lengths of whataboutism the right will go to ....to feel better about losing.

    But but Hillary's emails.....lol.

    Its so cringe watching all these MAGA tribalists trying to paint this as some sort of disaster.

    The bottom line is we needed to be out of there and it was always going to be messy.

    Biden did what needed to be done and we are better for it in the long run.

    Well in fairness, it does look like he starts to check his watch, and then stops himself before he actually completes it.




    Biden's handling of the withdrawal has been defensive and not a great look. He's rough around the edges and yeah talking about his son is pretty lame.

    Thats said, the standard of what people accept as presidential is Trump now. And by that standard, Biden is a YUGE improvement.

    You can't excuse Trump and then be critical of Biden when he does the same **** to a lesser degree.

    Amazing, CNN is capable of criticizing Biden, something the right never did of Trump.

    That's how you know that the right is far more biased

    Probably to drive home the point that many of the family members mourning these 13 felt disrespected by Biden's manner during a ceremony meant to honor the sacrifice these men and women and their families gave. I watched 2 fathers of 2 of the 13 last night interviewed expressing their outrage and anger at Biden's focus on his own son when meeting them (instead of focusing on their loss) and by their count him checking his watch at least 4 times during the transfer ceremony. Making a big deal out of the photo used is deflecting from the real issue IMHO.

    Some additional insight into how we got here. I still believe Biden dropped the ball, but let’s not pretend he hasn’t been wading through an unholy mess that’s accumulated over 3 administrations.

    I never said I criticized Trump for what he said about POWs and Gold Star Mothers, I said if he said such things then shame on him, he is just as bad as Biden in that regard then. I said I was critical of Biden of what he is doing now.

    You say you are not a deflector but you can't help yourself from bringing up DJT every time Biden effs up. It's ok to ridicule Biden and just leave it at that, he is the current President isn't he? This is like the Yankees fans chanting "f*** Altuve!" when the Rays are blowing them out by 10 runs.

    Also, there is this aura of smugness that just because somebody voted for Trump means they don't have standing to ridicule Biden now. As an American citizen and voter, anybody can ridicule any Prez, past, present, and future.

    True, but the rest of the people don't have to listen to the hypocrits who wouldn't hold their own guy accountable......I mean let's review.

    2. Convicted of running a fake University
    3. Convicted of running a fake children's charity
    4. Convicted of money laundering - TWICE
    5. Convicted of racist policies as a landlord
    6. Paid off a p*rn star for sex, after denying it for ages
    7. Rips off his followers, with fake "I won the election" nonsense
    8. Mocks a handicap man
    9. Is a mysoginist and has been accused of sexual assault by 23 women....TWENTY ****ING THREE
    10. Impeached twice.


    This is whom you and your other buddies voted for, and supported..........so yeah, do you have any credibility.

    No US Military Dogs Were Left Behind in Afghanistan, DOD Says
    Pentagon officials say the caged dogs in viral photos aren’t military working dogs, all of which were evacuated.
