    Probably the most truthful answer we will read in this thread.

    The Taliban are not terrorists. They are an authoritarian regime

    He killed a single American in a drone strike without a warrant. I found this ver disturbing. He was part of a terrorist organization but he was an American citizen who should have gotten a trial like the constitution grants.

    if he was killed in a gun fight is one thing as well but he was targeted by a drone. It was an assassination

    The governments at a state level would be held more accountable is what would have happened. People lost jobs because of local government decisions would have been ridiculed out of office.

    the people who would have been evicted would actually be forced to live with their decisions. Rather than forcing the landlord to pay for their decisions.

    Trump's not President, Biden is.

    Biden Is an ‘Impediment’ to Private Afghanistan Evacuations, ‘A Massive F*** Up.’

    Trump's not an ‘Impediment’ to Private Afghanistan Evacuations, ‘A Massive F*** Up’ Biden is.

    There was nothing wrong with Trump directly telling the Taliban what would happen if they did not meet his conditions and if they did not want to end up like Qasem Soleimani.

    How come many working in Hospitals are refusing to git the poke.
    Plus half of the CDC and NIH haven't taken the Vaccine.
    Many of those in the Teachers Union as well.
    How much you wanna bet that Jerrold Nadler has not taken the
    vaccine.Or Nancy Pelosi.If they say they have,that's just their
    nominal fallback option.To Lie.To always lie.Lie about Lies.
    Lies until the Cows come home.Or don't.
    That's the Problemo Democrats have.They LIE as a matter of course.
    So when it comes time to make sure and admit Truth like Biden's
    catastrophic Border Policy or Afghan Evacuation plan,they are stuck.
    Like a spoiled brat caught stealing ccokies from the cookie jar.
    Don't even bother asking if they did.It's futile.

    I have no idea. One would assume it is the head of the RNC. I really don't care. Why does an Australian care?

    I'm not a Trump supporter, but not a Biden supporter either.

    Since Biden was busy undoing anything Trump had done during his 4 years within days of taking office, it clarifies that Biden fully acted on his own decision regarding Afghanistan. Trump negotiating with the Taliban was wrong. That doesn't make what Biden did in Afghanistan right.

    He ain’t running things but we understand the left wing obsession. What else can the left do when they voted in idiocracy.

    Yes to both, but Trumps deal should have had more conditions and was slightly wasted opportunity. I have been reading up and it appears the taliban did not actually break any of the agreements decided upon
    Does any of this relate to the current presidents botched withdrawal?
    That would be a NO

    As much as you'd like to think of me as your enemy, I'm not.

    I asked the question because I was surprised by it. I just always believed our "stance" was not negotiating with them, is all.

    Biden has made some mistakes. No doubt, but I wouldn't call it botched just yet simply because he has about 6 days to fulfill his agreement to get our soldiers, supporters and allies home.

    I'm mostly concerned about our soldiers stateside. My brother came home about 4 years ago, but he and my other military friends are waiting anxiously to hear their buddies and our allies made it out. I've been offering as much support as I can to help them get through these last harrowing days and it's been a bit triggering for my own PTSD. It's okay. I'm strong. I just want to be here for my family and friends.

    Despite what you think of me, I love my country and I love our soldiers.
    They are the men and women that provide the protection we have as Americans.

    I just want them home (so can we maybe fight about something at a future tentative date? ;-)

    I'm not left or right either. And, I apologize if my OP gives the impression that I make excuses for either Trump or Biden. I don't. I'm an America-First. It doesn't matter to me who is doing something wrong. My stance on that is not fluid or impacted by party.

    I'm reading this as the individual governors would be in the position of stabilizing their own economies without Federal interference. Am I understanding you correctly?
    I'm still unclear on this. What <decision> are you saying evictees would be making? I was under the impression the rent moratorium was about not displacing hundreds of thousands of people who lost their jobs through no fault of their own. I honestly never really understood how that helped individual property owners who don't usually have as much insulation as bank-owned property management services do.

    That formula squeezes the small landlord from both directions.

    enemy? I think you’re a great guy that happens to have a little bit of TDS
    I actually enjoy arguing with you because you aren’t easy to trigger and are reasonable most of the time and challenge my opinions constructively
    Also, I hope everything works out with the family and friend military personnel you were referring to
    Cheers!

    It's your truth, truth sprinkled in the lies. Little of what I see or think matters. Millions more voters will reject your "truth"; again.

    Not when anti-freedom democrat governors keep making mandates and lockdowns. The evidence of my claim is readily apparent and only partisan democrats are blind to it.

    Americans! That's the sort of thing we can claim because we don't rely on them for a monthly allowance, food, rent, entertainment and most of all personal opinions!!!

    You would need to ask the trendsetter in that department.

    getting a job for one. I personally know people who refuse to get a job because unemployment pays better. If you were faced with eviction you would either use your unemployment to pay rent or go get a job that could. Instead we are making landlords pay for them.

    How long do you think this will last? Fauci has said that IF people get the vaccine we could see the end by spring 2022. That’s IF the unvaccinated get vaccinated. That means these landlords are without payment till 2022 maybe? These lazy bumbs don’t deserve the free ride they’re getting.

    The federal government didn’t shutdown the economy. They couldn’t, they don’t have the power to. The local governments are the ones that put a ban on all work except for essential workers. Their decisions would have cost them their jobs.
