[ April 23, 2024 ]
Harry Truman’s desk famously bore a sign, “The buck stops here,” but those days are long gone. The dumpster fire regime of Old Joe Biden’s handlers is one long orgy of excuse-making and buck-passing: the ongoing disaster of his misrule is everyone’s fault but their own. Thus it came as no real surprise when the regime blamed its catastrophic bungling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan on a man who wasn’t president when it happened. “President Biden’s choices for how to execute a withdrawal from Afghanistan were severely constrained by conditions created by his predecessor,” the White House claimed, and really, who else but Donald Trump could possibly be responsible, as this regime has already decided that he is the focus of evil in the modern world? But the facts, as always, are otherwise.
Trump spokesman Steven Cheung shot back: “Biden and his administration are trying to gaslight the American people for their disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan that directly led to American deaths and emboldened the terrorists.” Exactly so. Emblematic of the mishandling of the entire withdrawal from Afghanistan was the fact that the Islamic State jihadist who murdered 13 American service members and numerous Afghans a suicide bombing at the Kabul airport in August 2021 had just been released from prison at Bagram Air Base, the center of American operations in Afghanistan until the U.S. precipitously and irresponsibly abandoned it in July of the same year. That release took place on Biden’s watch, at the orders of his military, which also ordered Marine snipers not to take out the same jihadist when they had him in their sights.
Al-Loghri had been held in the Parwan prison at Bagram Air Base, along with around 5,000 other prisoners, including several hundred members of ISIS, as well as Taliban and al-Qaeda jihadis. In July 2021, according to the Associated Press, “the U.S. left Afghanistan’s Bagram Airfield after nearly 20 years by shutting off the electricity and slipping away in the night without notifying the base’s new Afghan commander, who discovered the Americans’ departure more than two hours after they left.” Did Trump tell Biden’s handlers to do that?

Contrary to Biden’s claims that every contingency had been provided for, this was a catastrophe brought on by a lack of planning and foresight. On August 30, 2021, Rep. Jody Hice (R-Georgia) tweeted: “As the Afghan government fell, the Taliban gave US officials the option to take control of Kabul. They PASSED and instead opted to willingly surrender the city to the Taliban and control only the airport till 8/31! HOW MANY MORE COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED?!?”
We’ll never know. Yet before the disaster, the Biden regime assured us that it had matters well in hand. In June 2021, CENTCOM commander General Kenneth McKenzie gave an interview to Military Times in which he declared confidently: “We have workable plans to evacuate any scale of people that we would be directed to do. That’s one of the things that we have done. I’ve talked to the secretary about it.” Given the chaos of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, however, either no such plans ever really existed, or they were never implemented.
The military had other matters on its mind. In June 2021, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida) questioned General Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at a Congressional hearing about an ongoing effort to saddle U.S. military personnel with mandatory readings and briefings on the topic of Critical Race Theory. Milley bristled at the question and answered: “I’ve read Mao Zedong. I’ve read Karl Marx. I’ve read Lenin. That doesn’t make me a communist.”
The general situated his interest as part of an investigation of the causes of the alleged January 6 alleged “insurrection,” taking for granted the highly tendentious assumption that the Capitol incident, and support for Trump in general, was rooted in “white supremacism”: “I want to understand white rage, and I’m white, and I want to understand it. So what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America? What caused that? I want to find that out.”
Milley and the rest of the woke military brass could have spent less time studying Critical Race Theory and imposing it on the troops as a way of weeding out Trump supporters from the ranks, and more time doing their actual jobs. Had they done so, they might have realized how foolish it was to steal away from Bagram in the dead of night. They could even have used the base as a rallying point for Americans in Afghanistan who wanted to leave the country, getting them out in a safe and orderly manner instead of the Saigon-on-steroids nightmare that a horrified world witnessed at Kabul airport in August.
Yet safe among his friends in Washington, who will ensure that he suffers no consequences for his disastrous errors of judgment, Milley is considered a brilliant strategist. Yet he learned nothing from the Afghanistan debacle. As Russia began its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Army officers were forced to sit through an official and mandatory presentation entitled “Policy on the Military Service of Transgender Persons and Persons with Gender Dysphoria.” According to the Washington Free Beacon, the presentation gives “training on gender pronouns and coaching officers on when to offer soldiers gender transition surgery.”
That’s what led to the Afghan catastrophe, not Donald Trump. Old Joe Biden will not escape the verdict of history.

Well, of course JOEY blames TRUMP. Trump is the Democrat Party’s ‘TRASH CAN’ containing all of their own mistakes and evil.
BUT, WE ALL KNOW BETTER.
TRUMP IS THE BEST PRESIDENT AMERICA HAS EVER HAD.

Biden is a Milk Dud distributor. He doesn’t know WTF is going on. Someone else is pulling the strings. The Democrat Party itself is hostile, and Biden is proof. Obama is proof. The Clintons are proof. The Democrat Party waged war against our Republic. The Democrat Party enslaved us to the monetary system of a foreign bank. Who are these Democrats?
The threat from a foreign army sailing across the Atlantic to conquer us ended with the American Revolution. No foreign royalty was ever going to sail over here and take us by force after that. President Lincoln said so.
The problem we have is the relatives of foreign royalty. They were here when our Republic was born and they never left. They have been bankrolled into every position of power and influence. They have operated like a con artist, appearing friendly and helpful to position for the hit. They have been robbing and ruining us from within. They have been selling us to our enemies. They have starved us of our own resources and forced us to buy them from our enemies. They export our manufacturing to our enemies and have us thinking that is just normal capitalism. They have been setting us up in war after war since the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank. The list goes on and on.
The world is so dangerous that we never stopped waging wars overseas since the Federal Reserve Bank was created, yet our border has effectively been wide open the whole time. That doesn’t add up. It’s not possible to secure our southern border without a barrier that stops foot traffic, and that wasn’t built until Trump was president. Even then it wasn’t completed because of opposition from our own treasonous government. Our enemy wears our clothes and speaks our language so we don’t recognize them. They are the same enemy we separated ourselves from plus every other enemy they carried into our house or let in the open door.
Why would the people who have control over our largest corporations and our resources and our government want to destroy the nation? Profit isn’t their primary motive.Global conquest is their primary motive. We are the greatest threat to their power. We represent free people controlling government, which is the opposite of what they always were and the opposite of what they intend to have in the future. They’re smearing our name and murdering us at the same time.

One of the many things that bothers me about so called president Joe Biden is that he is a person who takes no responsibility for his actions. Instead he blames other people for his bad decisions and failures. In this case he is shifting the blame to former president Donald Trump who had left office 6 months previous to the Afghanistan disastrous withdrawal.

When asked who blew up the Nordstream pipeline, President Trump said “I don’t want to get our country in trouble, so I won’t answer it” and he said “But I can tell you who it wasn’t: Russia”.
In other words, THE DEMOCRATS DO WANT TO GET OUR COUNTRY IN TROUBLE.
We’re bait.

If anybody wants this country to survive, they need to arrest and convict Biden of TREASON — today!
This demented piece of filth is committing High Crimes EVERY DAY in the clear light of day — and bragging about it and making a mockery of the United States of America with impunity.

Harry Truman said the buck stops at his desk.
With this flyspeck Biden, the buck never gets near the door.
Biden is the president who stood by and lined his pockets while the United States got run over.
Now, as of today, the only option Biden has left us with is pre-emptive nuclear annihilation of China, Iran and North Korea.
That’s our only hope for survival.
And don’t blame Macron.
Blame Biden.
Hang Biden.
And Harris, Myorkas, Lisa Monaco, Susan Rice and “obama.”

And the Communist in Biden’s Cabinet to name a few: Anita Dunne who believed in MAO’s philosophy; Mayorkas Director of Homeland Security was found by Barack Obama’s Inspector General to be guilty of selling Green Cards to Chinese nationals on behalf of rich, democratic donors
(you named Mayorkas but he is worse than one may think) Blinken Secretary of State served as Director of the Penn Biden Center, presided over an entity that was funded in large measure by the Chinese and which seems to have been dedicated primarily to pushing Chinese propaganda inside the United States; William Burns – CIA Director, the president of a think tank that reportedly took millions of dollars from entities linked to the Chinese Communist Party; Gina Raimondo, Commerce Secretary was involved in Danhua Capital that was established and funded with the help of the Chinese government as part of its “penetration of Silicon Valley.”

Handing China the air base in Afghanistan = removing a very effective deterrent to Chinese aggression.
In other words, the Democrats want a war between the USA and China. If they wanted to defend the USA in any way they wouldn’t open every door to China, enrich them at our expense, help them develop biological weapons, and remove the deterrent to their aggression.
We’re bait.
They want us to focus on the soldiers murdered as we left and the civilians left behind and even the dogs they abandoned to enemies that were sure to torture them to death. They don’t want us to think about how they set us up for the worst war possible.

So, Trump had a plan drawn up like we do when we occupy any foreign lands, and the moron didn’t follow it and changed the plan and it’s Trump’s fault.
The Afghanistan disaster was worse than Viet Nam one. The moron has no clue!!!!!

Trump had a withdrawal plan but Biden trashed it against the advice of Austin and Milley.

Yeah, let’s get real. Trump signed the withdrawal agreement with the Taliban, reduced the US force in Afghanistan by about 90%, made clear that he intended to withdraw the rest even faster than Biden did, and that he didn’t care what happened after we left.
Plenty of blame to go around. Make sure Trump gets his share.

Joe Biden isn’t even man enough to accept that he is the one responsible for the calamity he made in Afghanistan, so he to shift the blame on Donald Trump
The catastrophe that Joe Biden created in Afghanistan, it’s worse than terrible.
Just think of all those Americans and out good Afghans friends he abandoned in Afghanistan to be encountered captured tortured and murdered by the bloodthirsty Taliban.
To make matters even worse Biden admitted many unchecked and unvetted “refugees” into and throughout the United States , a number of them , not doubt are criminal and secret jihadists scheming and waiting for the time they consider to engage in murderous violence.
The innocent people who will be murdered by them will guilty and likewise Biden will also then have their blood on his sinister wicked and destructive hands.
All that evil in Afghanistan would never have happened if that President Pretender, Joe Biden just threw away and totally destroyed nearly twenty years of progress accomplished by the blood sweat and tears and even the deaths of many Americans as well as those blood, sweat and tears of America’s allies.
Also Biden threw away more than trillion of the American taxpayer’s money that was invested in for the betterment and development of Afghanistan.
This tragic scenario didn’t actually have to had happen in Afghanistan because the generals of the Pentagon who are strategic military advisers to the President strongly counseled Biden not to have a sharp, sudden withdrawal from Afghanistan but instead have and start a gradual drawback of the US armed forces after September 11, 2021.
The problem was that the arrogant conceited and stupid Joe Biden refused to heed or listen to the wise council of the intellects of the Pentagon. Therefore is this complete disaster with the Taliban total takeover of Afghanistan, because of Biden
In the ancient but wisdom filled book by Sun Tzu entitled THE ART OF WAR, it is written “He will win who has the military capability and is not interfered with the sovereign.”
That awful incompetent and probably even treasonous villain, Joe Biden, ruined everything.

Cowardly Joe Biden completely refuses to the responsibility for the disaster he created in Afghanistan therefore he attempt to place the blame and guilt on Donald Trump
Biden is playing the “pass the buck” game and is fooling thinking and intelligent person.
For that despicable pseudo – US “President” Joe Biden not only gave away Afghanistan to the America’s enemy , the Taliban, then to make matters even worse he let them have American taxpayer paid for State of the art high quality military equipment military equipment .
Now that fiend ,Biden, want’s to further support and uphold the enemy of the United State and brutal oppressor of the Afghan people by sending those Taliban millions of dollars , taken for US citizen taxpayer, under the guise of “humanitarian aid.”
Only the most naïve and gullible person would actually believe that this “aid money” would to help the poor poverty-stricken people of that land. For the thieving Taliban will talk a lot of the “aid’ for themselves and the rest of the so called “aid” will go the further strengthening that Sharia based Taliban tyranny.
Joe Biden should have to be held accountable for all that horrendous evil he has done.
