The shyt was done poorly since day 1. Man we was there for 20 years. We tried. If they're not gonna defend their country, or aren't capable...this is the result. There was no food outcome

This Afghanistan shit is getting crazy. On one hand Biden fucked this up. On the other though, I don’t really think we should have such a heavy hand in these countries. On the other, I feel bad for the people that have to live under Taliban rule.

It’s a fucked situation all around, but my base belief is that a country can’t be liberated unless it’s led by the people living in that country. Those afghans folded like a cheap chair as soon as we left it seems. Biden should have had a better exit strategy too though.

It doesn't matter who the President was going to be, be it: Bush Jr., Obama, Trump, Biden, etc., at some point the U.S. was gone have to put out of Afghanistan. The way Joe went about doing it was fucked up trying to withdraw the U.S. all at one time. We been over there 20 yrs spending American money to help Afgan rebels defend themselves against the Taliban. What is the U.S. supposed to do stay forever? At some point you got to be able to defend for self.

I know Biden been in office for only 7 months, but he's looking like Jimmy Carter was with the way he's handling shit from Afghanistan to the early COVID message.

Bolded is facts.

The way I looked at it...his predecessors tried to slowly peel the band-aid off. Joe just ripped it off. Fucc it. It's what the American people wanted for the past 20yrs right? All this "outrage" for the safety of Afghan people wasn't there b4.

But let Biden say he's offering the Afghan refugees to come to the U.S. Watch how all that care for the Afghan people go straight out the window...and get replaced wit "WE DON'T WANT THEM IN OUR COUNTRY!" type of hate.

Opinion: The party that wins Hispanics will win elections. But that means really listening to them.

Memo to both Democrats and Republicans: The party that forms a durable, long-term governing coalition in this country will be the party that most fully embraces, understands and speaks to the needs of Hispanic voters. And that won’t happen simply by assuming that demography is political destiny.

Much of the coverage of the 2020 Census data released last week focused on the unprecedented decline in the nation’s White population, which since 2010 fell not just as a percentage but in absolute numbers. Yet though the overall rate of growth was slower than it’s been in decades, the overall population of the nation grew by 7.4 percent. Half of that increase was due to growth in the number of Hispanic Americans.
Hispanics now account for 18.7 percent of the U.S. population. Hispanics make up 25.7 percent of the youth population, representing 1 in 4 voters of the future.

Narrowing the political focus, in Texas — long heralded as a potential swing state — the Hispanic population grew by nearly 2 million over the past decade and Whites now outnumber Hispanics by a mere handful of residents, 11,584,597 to 11,441,717. By the time the 2024 election rolls around, if current trends hold, Hispanics will hold a small plurality in a state that Republicans must win to have any chance of an electoral college majority.
All of this would seem to bode well for Democrats, who have been winning the Hispanic vote comfortably nationwide. Yet, I see clear warning signs for Democrats (which they may or may not heed), as well as potential opportunities for Republicans (which they seem determined to ignore).
President Biden beat Donald Trump among Hispanics by a comfortable margin, 59 percent to 38 percent. Yet four years earlier, Hillary Clinton won Hispanics in her contest against Trump by a landslide, 66 percent to 28 percent. Despite all his “build the wall” rhetoric against Hispanic immigrants — whom he called rapists, drug smugglers and “bad hombres” — Trump grew his share of the Hispanic vote markedly.
