He also said Potato did the Afghanistan withdrawal all wrong, the military is supposed to remain to evacuate American citizens, destroy all the weapons that they can't take with them and then leave.
Original Plan: Draw back majority of forces by MAY. Leave sufficient air support to ensure that the Taliban can not over run the Afghanistan government and force both sides to negotiate with each other. America would have retained operation of several strategic areas with minimal forces.
Biden Potato Plan: Delay the withdraw past the original deadline to Sept 11 2021, so you can get some good twitter optics and good press. Do not renegotiate with the Taliban, and say that Kamala is managing coordination with allies. Ignore intelligence that the delay will not work as Taliban had already started pressing forward. Slow down the withdrawal of US citizens and personal, I guess due to the Rona and pushing back the hard deadline to December (what the potato, was he hoping Harris would get the blame then?). Then withdraw air support to go bomb Somalia, without congress oversight. Then ignore intelligence and state department concerns in July, ignore wires from officials on the ground in Afghanistan, and ignore China negotiating with Taliban in July... and somehow pray to potato that the plan is not falling to absolute shit.
How to fuck shit up 101. He's not making any decisions, deferring to other people and ignoring reality (or forgetting reality). The democrats are pushing through trillions for their corporate sponsors in the meantime inflation is high, unemployment is high, unfilled vacancies are high, there is risk of a large number of mortgage defaults, the border does not exist, he removed financial regulations and there are logistical supply shortages everywhere.
He shot universal healthcare out of the water and the only prison reforms were ones that Trump initiated. The 'green new deal' is mainly money for corporations and tax breaks for corporations whilst cracking down on farmers. That seems like a great plan. It also involves outsourcing more to China who completely ignore all international environmental laws, agreements and concerns. So there will be an increase in pollution and a decrease in US wealth...
I didn't think one president could cause such a mess in such a short amount of time. Trump messed loads of things up but he created strong economic growth and encouraged domestic investment.
What is Biden's economic plan? Print money and throw it at random shit and hope for the best? Investment funds are buying up assets that they hope will see greater than 20% inflation eg residential housing.
Wikipedia lefties had to edit wikipedia to try to blame Trump:
Taliban 2016 estimate: 200k
Taliban 2021 estimate: 75k
Wiki was updated to:
Taliban 2021 estimate: 200k and removed the references that supported the lower number when Biden took office. Otherwise it looks like Biden was a complete potato.
edit: On the most pro-Biden lefty poll, he has fallen from 73% approval (Lol) to 54% (also lol).
The Five Thirty Eight aggregate is 49% approval. I don't understand their weightings though for example, YouGov had one poll at 44% approval (They weighted it at 0.85) when there was a more positive polling of 50% (they weighted it at 1.29).
Approval for handling of the war:
Biden: 32%
Trump: 51%
Obama: 51%
Bush: 47%
