LOL! I don't know how you read this as making it Trump's fault! I pointed out that Biden didn't withdraw from Afghanistan in secret. The intention has been known for a long time. Anybody who claims they didn't know simply were not paying attention.

Biden didn't discuss anything with anybody. He just abruptly withdrew American troops.
That is not true. Picking up where Trump left off (Trump was all for getting out of Afghanistan), Biden said the May 1st deadline Trump set was not feasible so he made September 11th the new deadline (I guess for some horrid, symbolic, theatrical reason). As the Taliban started moving, Biden changed the date to August 31 for the safety of American troops. Biden's intentions were not secret.
By the way, I have thought for a while that the US needed to leave Afghanistan as it didn't seem like we were making much real progress in the region. The US should have left 19 years ago. All the US did was spend a bunch of money (enriching the corrupt in the process) for absolutely nothing.

I have to wonder, did Joe put his crackhead kid in charge of this whole affair? That would explain a lot!

Don't rely on western media to be honest about what is actually going on in Kabul. I've read some twitter feeds from there (I admit the possibility that the feeds are bots). I read that the Taliban has assured women that they are key to a healthy economy and can continue to work with Taliban protection, the Taliban will accept bit coin as currency, the Taliban will stop poppy cultivation, and they want to encourage investment. I saw a clip where a Taliban spokesman was asked about free speech and his basic reply was "go ask US companies like Facebook who claim to promote free speech while censuring speech." Maybe, just like today's Afghan, today's Taliban is different from the Taliban 20 years ago. I think it is entirely possible that the US will realize that the big mistake made in Afghanistan wasn't withdrawing the troops. The big mistake was abandoning the Embassy and withdrawing everybody.

“Well at least he doesn’t make mean tweets”
by minimus ini asked a tennis friend this morning what he thought about what’s going on in afghanistan and he said it was terrible.
he was a military man and identifies as a middle of the road republican.
he supported most of trump’s policies but voted for biden because he couldn’t take trump’s mean tweets.

I'd like to know where and what happened to the Afghan government military force
Just a shot in the dark, is it possible that much of the Afghan military had Taliban leanings all along?

The Taliban didn't even have the common courtesy of waiting until Sept 11, dirty pool playing bastards.

Constitution has nothing to do with it.
You are correct. I'm not the one who stated employers have the "right" to force employees to take experimental therapies. A employer has wide latitude when setting conditions of employment. I don't know if that extends to experimental drugs. The courts will have to decide that question. I really don't know why waiting for FDA approval is an issue for so many people.

f: Businesses have the right to expect a certain standard from their employees.
LOL! So employers have the "right" to force employees take experimental therapies? Where is that in the Constitution? You do know that forced medical experiments violate the Geneva Convention.
For people who are convinced that the COVID vax is safe and everyone should take it, go read about thalidomide.

Like Trump, I've been banned from all social media platforms. My goal is to get booted from here one day. Then I will really be free!
