I was challenged by J Brown telling me that Biden had done nothing that is Impeachable

That hardly removes our responsibility! Do we pretend there is nothing we could do about that? Even the equipment we disabled could likely be fixed by Russia or China! President did not spend enough time dealing with this problem!

"Not a chance."
Biden defenders insist another president would not have done better.

Pentagon's John Kirby says the Taliban has no strategic use for the weapons.
Cash from their neighbors Iran and Pak for weapons?

Some commentary I have been reading from the left side of the press is along the lines of Biden's defenders trying to deflect most or all of the blame to Trump.  That is not being received well.  The Afghanistan withdrawal is a big deal and Biden, not Trump owns it in the public's mind.  

Personally, I reckon that Eisenhower would have done better.  Trump, I doubt it.

Maybe a couple of Biden supporters now think less of Biden's rep for "calm confidence."
Progress?

Harris might have a better chance if she stays in the background this term. There are times when she seems not serious enough.

Oil

Posted By Mel Maki

Recently we had plenty. Now we are almost begging for it. Will we get it from Russia?
It is just stupid not to produce our own oil!
