You know that troops are exclusively under the control of the president right?

Like, he's the highest guy in the army.

So it's literally impossible to hold him up from removing troops.

You know that right? Like, you took fourth grade civics right?

"Infrastructure" is certainly going to be on Biden.

When Centre-Left Larry Summers is telling you that you're out to lunch, you should probably be concerned. If we return to 1970s inflation Biden will easily be viewed as the least successful president thus far. Manchin may yet bail him out, though, so we'll see.

Trump established a deadline for leaving Afghanistan, which Biden has delayed but will ultimately follow through on. Your need to spin this in partisan terms is mind-boggling.

yep. copied vaccine rollout (as per bloomberg), copied border security policy (as per the administration itself), copying planned afghanistan withdrawal (although delaying it 4 more months, as per the administration and reported by usatoday). just copy copy copy. makes sense given all the plagiarism pale pasty privileged lunch bucket joe had to do in order to finish his education.

one thing he isn't copying Trump on is changing the definition of infrastructure as well as to justify pork barrel that benefits the swamp and their special interests. maybe they’ll rename a road or bridge or something.

I was talking in general over trumps term. Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit unless you’re cherry picking to be an ass.

So Trump didn't even do the things he promised that he had full control over?

Lol okay. Seems like he was just ineffective.

How’s that min wage bump going?

Not as good as the stimulus check and pulling out of Afghanistan

A stimulus check that was held up and a pull that got prolonged that was all ready set to be done. Not seeing anything here... oh, btw I see the student loan forgiveness got put on pause.

The party of war had something to say about that.

That's a big "if".

Can you point out where I spun this in partisan terms? Trump promised to end stupid wars... he had 4 years in office. He failed to end the Afghanistan war. There's always various timelines inherited, but every president makes the decision whether to stay or pull out. Trump decided to stay, Biden is deciding to pull out. Trump couldn't get it done in 4 years, Biden is going to get it done in less than 1. Inconvenient facts are not partisan spin.



So if the effort to hobble Trump was simply about prolonging wars and not partisanship against a reckless president, I suppose we'll see a similar effort on the Democrat side again?

Kind of a galaxy brain take that the political party that just announced we're leaving Afghanistan is the party of war, but okay.



If the argument is that Biden is copying Trump's plans, but actually putting them into action, wouldn't it make sense for you guys to be Biden supporters?
