I mentioned above, that Republicans had the opportunity to do something about immigration for 4 years from January 2017 - 2021 and yet they did absolutely nothing as the problem still exists.

Criminal Donald said he would "end illegal immigration". So why didn't he? Why didn't the Republicans who controlled Congress?   

Republicans failed to do their job but pathetically blame Biden for their own mess they caused.     

Republicans left an absolute disaster for President Biden to deal with on the southern border. Biden hasn't even been in office for 2 years and the radical right is attacking him for not cleaning up their mess fast enough. That is totally pathetic.

Afghanistan is another Trump disaster that he handed Biden to deal with.     

Criminal Donald negotiated a disastrous deal with the Taliban because he was desperate to get a foreign policy deal done before the election.

Criminal Donald ordered the release of 5,000 Taliban terrorists and lifted sanctions on Taliban leaders. He also took troops out of Afghanistan making the entire mission to leave Afghanistan more difficult and dangerous for Biden to deal with. Mitch McConnell criticized this horrible withdrawal. Criminal Donald negotiated the disastrous time table for the withdrawal but right wingers refuse to blame the orange idiot who made the deal. They want to blame the guy who wasn't in office instead. Like I said, that is pathetic.     

And that is Biden's fault for what Criminal Donald negotiated and removing our troops to make the mission less secure?

The radical right will protect their orange cult leader at any cost. So, they pathetically blame others instead.

President Biden was not in office in 2020 when Donald Trump negotiated the disastrous Afghanistan deal so he had no control of what was negotiated and had to abide by the deal when he took over.

Yes, 13 U.S. servicemen were killed but that would have happened no matter who was president since Criminal released 5000 Taliban terrorists who wanted to attack us when we were leaving the country and less troop presence made the mission less safe. But somehow that's all Biden's fault according to the radical right.

These are the same right wingers who cheer on Putin to win his illegal war and call our ally Ukraine "corrupt" pushing more of Putin's Russian propaganda.         

The radical right can push all the phony propaganda they want, but the facts and the evidence will always debunk their nonsense.

As you can see below, it was Criminal Donald who negotiated Afghanistan and Time magazine in 2020 predicted his deal would be a total disaster but pathetically the radical right covers up for Donnie.


U.S. to free 5,000 Taliban prisoners, lift sanctions on leaders in Afghan peace deal

President Trump's Disgraceful Peace Deal with the Taliban

Trump 'to order further troop withdrawal' from Afghanistan and Iraq
November 16, 2020


Those in Afghanistan will be cut from about 5,000 down to 2,500 by mid-January, officials said. In Iraq they will be reduced from 3,000 to 2,500.

President Trump has previously said he wants "all" troops home by Christmas.

He is refusing to concede the 3 November election to Joe Biden.

The withdrawal should be finished by 15 January, US media reported, just days before Mr Biden's inauguration as president.

But Mr Trump's reported plan is facing rare criticism from a fellow Republican - Senate leader Mitch McConnell, who warned militants would "love" the idea.

Speaking on the floor of the upper chamber on Monday, the Kentucky senator said: "We're playing a limited - limited - but important role in defending American national security and American interests against terrorists who would like nothing more than for the most powerful force for good in the world to simply pick up our ball and go home.

"They would love that."

Over 100K Americans, many of them young folks, died last year from overdoses from drugs that mostly came across the open border.  That's more than the total number of Americans who died in the entire Vietnam war.  An astounding disaster.  The drugs and terrorists are pouring across the open border.  Like Bill Clinton who decided not to take out Bin Laden, Old Joe won't be around to take the blame when an attack occurs.  Old Joe left billions in weapons during the disaster in Afghanistan.  He has sent billions in weapons to the Ukraine with no idea where they are going.  He has let hundreds of terrorists into the country and millions of illegal aliens.  These people have been distributed throughout the US.  No one has a clue who they are.   It's a disaster waiting to happen.

Funny how right wing propagandists said nothing when teenage drug deaths and border crossings were at an all time high under Criminal Donald in 2019 and 2020.

Criminal Donald and the GOP failed to stop drugs from flowing over the border. 

Criminal Donald and the GOP failed to combat illegal immigration.

But now, they want to pathetically attack President Biden who has to clean up their border mess just like he did with Donnie's covid and economic crisis.   

Under President Biden, drugs are being seized at an all time record thanks to Biden's border policies. Criminal Donald let fatal drugs flow through the border to kill teenagers at an all time high. Disgraceful. The weak GOP are all talk and no action.     

Check out the 4 year Trump and GOP disaster we lived through. You should remember it because it was a disaster.

. . .

As pointed out by Rick, the same was true under Trump. The problem is not with Biden or Trump. The problem is the bad choices millions of Americans make with drugs. The government cannot solve all problems, particularly those caused by people's own bad choices.

Old Joe left billions in weapons during the disaster in Afghanistan.

Bush, Obama, Trump and maybe Biden (I'm not certain on that, given how soon he withdrew, which was the correct decision) brought in billions of weapons into Afghanistan. They were all doomed to be lost as soon as we decided not to stay forever.

He has sent billions in weapons to the Ukraine with no idea where they are going.
. . .

Oh we know where they are going. They are going into Russian tanks, aircraft, helicopters, ammo depots, etc., as can be seen on Youtube. Ukraine's incredible stand against the much larger Russian state is powerful evidence that the majority of weapons we send to Ukraine are being used well, just as the quick collapse of Afghanistan shows those weapons were wasted on them.

I am suspicious of your opinions. You have a right to your opinions, just as I have a right to my opinions on your opinions.

I believe that Trump supporters have turned against democracy. They don't want democracy in America nor elsewhere. How else can white Americans keep control in America?

Hence, their support authoritarian countries, like Russia. Sometimes explicitly. Sometimes obliquely. Like implying sending aid to Ukraine is a waste. Ukraine is doomed. The weapons we wend are probably getting diverted.

I believe in democracy. I believe in the power of a free and determined people to stand up to tyranny that seems unbeatable. As America did in 1776. As Poland did in 1920. As Ukraine is doing now. Russia was not invincible 102 years ago and it certainly is not invincible today. The evidence of that is clear. I believe in Ukraine.

Anyway, I think that is what you are doing. Obliquely supporting Russian authoritarianism, and undermining Ukraine democracy, at the same time. Just as Trump himself seems to be rooting for Putin.
