And by lately, I mean the last 5 years or so.
take in those Afghan refugees (95K so far...and counting...including babies)...while Trump and his admin did all they could to ensure they never showed up on American soil...or anywhere else for that matter...not one word regarding a commitment to their safety and evacuation.
Starting just two months into his administration, Trump halted Special Visas...failed to expand the number of visas, leading to a huge backlog in the tens of thousands...then striking a deal with the Taliban that had zero plans for evacuating or protecting the Afghans who wanted to leave.
The only ones on the side of the Afghan refugees are the "Woke Crowd".
BTW, several years ago, my wife and I led a church group that worked with Catholic Charities to help settle an Afghan refugee family in our city...we were thanked profusely by those newcomers and eventually invited to their daughter's (Muslim) wedding...yes, America is a great place to live, where you'll find a lot of people who will lend a hand and truly welcome you....be sure to encourage others you know to do the same should the opportunity present itself.
It sounds like you agree with Maher except for the point that you think Biden cares more. Maher said that Biden screwed the pooch royally and that was not the issue that you took with Maher's comments.
that I can respond...
Now, as to whether Biden is doing a poor job at evacuating the Afghanis...or not...I refer you to my previous post, of which you didn't respond to a single point I made...
>Trump purposefully (IMO, based on his actions wrt Special Visas, and no language in the Taliban deal regarding safe evacuations of Afghanis, plus an unreasonably tight window of four months) did all he could to make it as difficult as possible for Biden to accomplish what everyone is up in arms about...the evacuation of over 100,000 Afghanis who helped us for 20 years.
>Trump reduced protective U.S. troop levels precipitously in advance of Biden taking office, to the point where they represented no impediment to the Talibans advances as Biden's admin endeavors to carry out the removal of all those people we're seeing on the news each day.
>Trump's signed agreement, on behalf of the USA seriously hamstrung Biden...should he violate any of the terms, he risked enabling the Taliban to attack U.S. military and civilian personnel...which was Trump's ONLY concern...he had ZERO concern for the Afghanis who wanted and needed to evacuate...
Simply put...if you are upset at how Biden is conducting the evacuation of Afghanis...you need to be "LIVID" about what Donald Trump did...and didn't do...that's my point to Bill Maher as well.
And as a true liberal, you think that you are "owed" a lot. You aren't. Your lack of answer is noted by all here who see you for what you are.
comments to Frank, are that on an "A to F" grading system, I'd give Biden - for all the reasons I've already noted - a tentative "B+", given that the evacuation isn't over yet...could go up or down...but in no way a failure.
As for Trump...I restate my grade of "F-"...the evacuation of the Afghanis who want and need to leave has always been the ONLY task in question...there's no way the Taliban was going to double cross our troop removal...and they didn't...YET...Donald Trump did not...ever...even consider their well-being and safety...moreover, he ACTIVELY took steps to impede their safe passage...just a sociopathic disgrace...and you see him as your unquestioned leader...unbelievable.
Now...you accused me of "misrepresentations"...what are they?
The Trunp admin did not want Afghan refugees here and he wanted the troops out ASAP. Spout all the opinion you want its documented proof.

And is fucking this thing up like an incompetent shithead.
A withdrawal with a non pussy Afghan military operates much better obviously. Whether we had the intel to know they would be shit birds is anecdotal to non existent.
However, people are getting out at a record clip.
Try living in the present, like Maher has been doing.
from the chaos that Biden has to deal with...had Trump really cared about the Afghans who risked their lives to help and save ours, he would have aggressively accelerated the creation of more Special Visas and the process for vetting them...as soon as he took office...but he did the exact opposite...he shut down both creating a huge backlog that under normal circumstances takes nearly a year to clear each one of them...plus, he apparently made no arrangements with other countries for their help in the evacuations....furthermore, he reduced troop levels way too soon, so that there was no way to ensure the safe removal of those Afghanis by May 1st...which would have been a true disaster for them had Biden not gotten an extension to the end of August.
Again...I like Bill Maher...but he left out some very important factors in the current situation...don't you agree?

Biden inherited a shit sammy.
But he has also made it much worse.
He deserves the incoming cept for the hardcore cultist hypocrisy.
conditions that Biden is facing (i.e. huge backlog of visa applications; no pre-planning with other countries; woefully low troop levels that are inadequate to assure safe passage to extraction points, etc., etc.)...I'd appreciate some help here...
Hopefully everyone can agree that Trump deserves an "F-" for his treatment of the Afghanis who need and want to leave.
F though. Expect that under the shitshow Orange was running. The sad reality here for Biden is that he in large part followed the Orange script. Get out fast with as few troops as possible with no game plan for what to do if the Afghan army just quits in the middle of doing it. He’s gotta own that.
"I blame that little kid. What a little prick. Smirk face. Like that's not a dick move at any age to stick your face in this elderly man. I do not see what Catholic priests see in this kid"............Bill Maher commenting on Covington Catholic Nick Sandman.. I find it completely understandable why some of you dig Bill Maher. "Great" minds think alike. Did this little shrimp broadcast a retraction on the Covington Catholic incident or has it been neatly tucked away in his closet? Long since conveniently forgotten by the left and right.

I'm bettin' Maher wouldn't have said word one if Nick was some teen gangsta from Chicago's Englewood neighborhood. And it makes it known about his followers too. You are the company you keep.

strong borders, 2nd amendment, school choice, pro-religion. and pro-military. What of it?
agree with Donald Trump...and all that he represents...especially his 'character'...it would help me understand what sort of person you are.
