Two idiots
The good news for Jacob Blake is that you won’t get shot again, because I doubt if you’ll be running from the police. Undoubtedly, you will be a millionaire with a limp. You will continue to play the victim, but you were a victim of your own stupidity. Rusten Sheskey, also an idiot, will hopefully have to pay for your expenses. Here’s some free advice: Don’t squander your millions. Invest it in college funds for your kids. And try to set a good example for them. Playing the victim will not work.
I question their loyalties
As a retired vet, I am glad the war in Afghanistan is over but not in the way we did it. This president has no problem in the blame game. But common sense as a vet, tells me that we could have done this strategically much better. There is no doubt that he did this, and not his advisers. But, they should also be held accountable for not speaking up. Those that have duel citizenship? That’s a hard call. I would question their loyalties.
Biden should be praised
More Top Picks Best Electric Scooters
The media should be praising Biden for getting us out of Afghanistan, instead of dumping on him. Over 112,000 people were evacuated under difficult circumstances. The media isn’t telling you how Trump blocked the visas for Afghan translators during the year he spent negotiating a bad deal with the Taliban. In what world is agreeing to releasing 5,000 terrorists from Afghan prisons before getting Americans out a “good deal.”
Come back
Whoever screwed up the stop lights in Winthrop Harbor, Zion and Beach Park, please come back and fix them.
Dereliction of duty
Biden should be impeached for dereliction of duty in Afghanistan.
