Thank you, Sam. Let’s hope the rubber meets the road while he is still in office, or the democrats will be blamed for his sins once again as he reaps the fruit of their labour while in office. Inertia of political and social change makes consequences almost impossible for people to understand 😭

According to Sam there are no fruits for Trump to reap, since the Dems are totally ineffectual and also annoying and sorta worse than Trump who’s admittedly not so hot. Anyway it’s all kind of a clown show — just like the nonsense with Hamas and Israel.

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." Politics, by nature, seduces people who love power, limelight, celebrity, and control. Leadership, like everything in US lately, becomes self-interest and image, so there is no true leadership. In walks a "savior"; out walks a multimillion dollar book deal, a country still crying in hope for a messiah, and the press creating our history.

Interesting your take on Afghanistan is exactly the same as many others on Central and South America for the last sixty years. I would agree with both but with the proviso - Afghanistan was a Pentagon grift that, had it worked, they would have been paid twice. Once for the twenty plus year grift of invasion and control and then again with the opium trade in their full control (if the country succumbed) to fund more and more black ops in other countries. Looking at the Pentagon as having any other agenda than this is just like Trump. An eight year old kid. Dual use baby! US’hey where’s mine - is the grift that keeps on griving.
