to evacuate in May 2021. In that 11 month span he did nothing in terms of planning an evacuation.

Nothing.

It all got dumped in Biden's lap.

And BTW, the Afghan government, which we've backed for 20 years, had no part in the negotiations with the Taliban. WTF? That's how trump handles negotiations to leave after 20 years, one of the principle parties was not consulted, had no part in the talks.

Peaceful transition between outgoing and incoming administrations are necessary to avoid the kind of chaos that is occurring in Afghanistan. The media (except for credible journo's such as Rachel), have ignored this important point.

For the first time in more than half a century, an outgoing administration is stonewalling an incoming one at every level — with no intention of relenting.

President Donald Trump hasn’t called President-elect Joe Biden. The Trump campaign hasn’t reached out to the Biden campaign. The White House and federal agencies haven't briefed the Biden transition team. First lady Melania Trump hasn’t invited Jill Biden to the White House for tea.

during the traditional transition period by not sharing information, including info on the Taliban agreement. I also remember one woman, I forget her name, from the agency that disburses transition funds refused to fork them over to the Biden team for several weeks.

He’s a republi-CON at heart. And they don’t want to help you. That’s in their blood and bone marrow as the party of “rugged individualism” and “boot yerself up by yer own bootstraps and “you’re on your own!”

Republicans DON’T want to help you. Themselves? Yes. You? Not a chance!

That’s really all you ever need to know about the GOP. Understand that and you completely understand them.

Republicans DON’T want to help you.

Besides, they’re only interested in the rich - who by their very wealth don’t need any help (but can certainly provide campaign donations).

Republicans want the money going ONLY one direction: back up into their own pockets, NOT down into yours when you’re in need.

Republicans DON’T want to help you.

At the Pentagon presser this AM, the one Mask Hole kept trying to take all the time asking bullshit questions insinuating everything is Biden and Dems making while, without a mask, the only one, smirking and grinning while spewing his shit. As the speakers were leaving, he screamed out, “as Taliban take over has the terror threat to America increased”? The speakers ignored that and just em walked out. I really wish they would have came back out and asked him about the North Carolina Taliban yesterday threatening to blow up DC and the Southern Taliban are coming for Joe.
Fuck the Taliban, the terrorist are right here at Fox, Info Wars, Brietbart, and the GQP.
The little shit was smirking, while the country is in fire, raging pandemic and GQP is out to take down democracy. What a prick and why the fuck was he allowed without a mask? I thought Joe made restrictions in federal buildings.

Trump did nothing to help.

Just gave away the country.

Pulled out all but 2,500 troops and walked away.
