    1. He is a waste of time he did nothing to help in the impeachment case against Trump other than just talk

    1. @The Zombie Whisperer I’m not even sure what that means.
      Sounds like you and Raul might be fighting over The Orange One.

    2. @The Zombie Whisperer Communism is a failed system, universally failed system. I don’t see socialism as a very useful substitute, but that’s another story.

    1. @Your Friendly Neighborhood Lamenter Like whataboutism? Let’s see if you construct an argument without reflexively Whatabouting and invoking Hillary Clinton.

    2. @Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 hmm?
      So, how many of us Americans living life as the 99%,… do you anticipate this tax will in some relative way, create a financial burden ?

    3. @Descartes walks into a bar Biden has botched the middle east and allowed the Taliban to regain footing, his VP Harris thinks that making a trip to the southern border is the same as going to Europe, and apparently Bidens son is abusing his father’s position by selling art.

    4. @Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 Actually, we’re still under the plan approved by Trump – an initial tax cut (makes HIM look good), followed by an incremental tax increase each year after that. Not that I’m hating on Trump per se, this is a common tactic employed by politicians, because they know people read the headlines and the first few paragraphs, but hardly ever the fine print, lol. So give them a nice fat tax cut they will all rave about, then take it back a bit at a time.

    1. @Dixon Uranus is trump the sitting president? Nope, the honor goes to the guy currently in office while it’s actually happening. So sad, trump had four years to make it happen. Instead he sat on his hands.

    2. @Me Off The agreement Trump made was for full withdrawal by May 1, 2021 which would be months after his term expired. So Biden is simply carrying out an errand, despite the fact he took it upon himself to delay several months and completely disrespect the Afghan people.

    3. @Dixon Uranus No one cares. If he wanted the credit, he should did it before hos term was up.
      It’s so sad to be you. No one cares who made the agreement. No one is going to check if your correct. No one cares. They only care that it’s over. Biden is the guy in office making it happen. Too little, too late for trump to get credit. Cry it on the mountain. No one will care.

    4. @Me Off I’ve presented facts but you don’t care about agreements. That says a lot about your lack of character.

    5. @Dixon Uranus Not my fault your in denial over who will get the credit for ending the war end in Afghanistan. Hint, it’s not trump, because while he was in office we were still at war with Afghanistan. The only fact that matters. The only one history will remember.

  1. It’s done, finally let’s bring our troops home, for we were losing American soldiers for no reason being there in Afghanistan

    1. I agree that we should bring the troops home, but there isn’t no reason to help out Afghanistan. If the Taliban develops and matures, it can become a huge tumor that could develop nuclear missiles and destroy the world.

  2. Bolton is like a bad penny that keeps coming up. The guy never goes away. Please stop feeding him.

  3. Anything to keep the military industrial complex going. Meanwhile American veterans suffer everyday with no help

    1. Overturn of the 2020 Arizona Election: Have you seen the arizona audit senate hearing? They found massive irregularities that makes Trump the winner. “74,243 Mail-In Ballots were counted with ‘no clear record of them being sent.’ There were 18,000 voters who were scrubbed from the voter rolls after the election. They also revealed that the voting system was breached or hacked (by who?) Very big printer and ballot problems with different paper used, etc., and MUCH MORE.” While this, according to the Senate, is preliminary, the final results will be announced at a later date

    1. There’s a concise history of wars in Afghanistan? A little like “A concise history of the Universe.” A lot of wars for thousands of years–never ultimately won by outsiders. (The last part is the bottom line)

    2. @Duane Bidoux the ultimate problem with America is that it thinks it’s smarter than everybody else and never learns from anybody else. Both are fatal flaws.

  4. Send your own mercenary army. don’t even think of sending back our soldiers to that slaughterhouse

    1. Ohhhhh no.
      HE wouldn’t be in any wars……but he’d gladly send other americans to die in conflicts.

  5. So the same guy who skipped out on his military service during Vietnam wants to keep troops in Afghanistan.

  6. The problem with people like him is that they like meddle without regard for the consequences of the people they’re throwing into the fights.

    1. The problem is he doesn’t care, and never will. He only cares about one thing: making profit for his associates

  7. It makes no sense for soldiers to die in Afghanistan for a constitution that is against western ideas…The Afghanistan constitution is anti Christian.
