    1. @Kelly Cox 5,000 now. ‘On 17 February 2009, Barack Obama ordered 17,000 more US troops be sent to Afghanistan to bolster security in the country and thereby boosted the 36,000 US troops already there by 50%.[11][12][13] “This increase is necessary to stabilize a deteriorating situation in Afghanistan, which has not received the strategic attention, direction and resources it urgently requires,” Obama said in a written statement.’ Wiki. defence.gov says there are plans to have zero by the end of 2021.

    1. @SuprG X I think what Max is implying is that by allowing a retreat you avoid a battle that could be a ‘blood bath’.

    2. My Max_ I disagree… If you let your stanky enemy go, then when he is stronger he will rise back up with twice the force as the first time. Listen, would your enemy let you go? Fock NO!🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

    3. @EarthWindFire Water you mister elements are the problem. Screaming militant dogma about someone who has a political difference with you. If you can’t weather dissent in your daily discourse you will forever be attempting to gaslight everyone around you because you haven’t learned how to properly defend your beliefs through words and arguments. Instead you rely on leftist extremism and regurgitate the same old party line. You sir/ma’am are by definition, not American, but you can be one. Start now by fleshing out your beliefs, not a party’s, and be just as willing to listen to other’s opinions as you voice your own. This is true empowerment, not some half-baked militant obtained power, but actual freedom. Sincerely, an independent thinker.

    4. @Michael Higdon Hi, that’s an extreme judgement, because I wasn’t talking about parties or the presidency, but in real wars. I must have misunderstood 🤣… I’m so focking embarrassed. SO MICHEAL YOU ARE WRONG! CALM THE FOCK DOWN…I was speaking of courage and honor_ but I can see how this looks… You are wrong because not talking about Republicans or Democrats!

    1. @SierWilliam trump not going to get it in 2024 no body want that man back as no lead. He got a serious PROBLEM

    2. These trump supporter REAL think that trump is there GOD. God is in heaven and he got Joe Biden and HARRIS BACK and got the AMERICAN people BACK. Trump is OUT that white House . LORD I THANK you I THANK YOU ❤️❤️.

    3. @IMPEACH BIDEN you tell a dam lie you ORANGE face . You just mad because Joe Biden and HARRIS WON. Get OVER it 😜🐱🤣😆😜

  1. The founders never conceived that a mentally ill president would be hoisted on the shoulders of a crooked senate.

    2. @deborah b Trump has undermined the branches of govt. Also has undermined the 4th estate the press. Freedom of the press is necessary in a democracy. Demonized senate house fbi courts election process and fake news. Except for fox u kno.

  2. We all knew this was excatly what was going happen he is a cry baby who flips game boards right before he is about to loose

  3. Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always.
    Mahatma Gandhi

    1. A “No” uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a “Yes” merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble. MAHATMA GHANDI for the USA Republicans the most cowards cronies on Earth greetings from Belgium 💙

    1. @Michelle Carter He promised to uphold the Constitution and protect the American people. He didn’t do either!

  4. Thank you. That was informative. But did they do a scenario where the REPUBLICANS refuse to accept the outcome of the election?

    1. @Mary Sauder evidently we Democrats only felt the need to falsify the presidential out come. We don’t care who is in the House and Senate. 😁

    2. @Morgan Bromley can you provide a link for when Hillary refused to concede, or when Obama withheld transition funds from the new president-elect?

  5. this man has never cared for any one other than himself and this just reminds us of this. people with any brains know this except for Trumpers who are morons they were 4 years ago and again this election. thank God this time enough knew it and voted against him

  6. Trump: if I don’t win I’m going to blow up the gameboard and then we both lose

    70million Americans: I can get behind that

    Me:🤦🏽‍♂️ wtf is wrong with y’all? 😑

    1. That is the view of a true dictator who would certainly call for military law and make it shoot on site for anyone in possession of a fire arm

  7. “The manipulations of the Defence Department by Trump, including the appointment of right wing cronies to very senior positions, smacks of a plan to try to use the military to hold on to power.” “It is possible though that he may start a war with another nation and claim that a transition of power should not occur while the country is at war. For that he will need Defense Department action. He is conceivably lining that up.” comments from out there

    1. Trump is playing with our nation’s health, if not the world’s, and should be tried for treason now before it turns into war crimes.

  8. This is the United States of America, the new President takes office period no exceptions I’m sorry Trump lost but Jan. 20th it’s over.
