Boring Political Post

Joe Biden did exactly the right thing re: Afghanistan.  And come November 2024 he'll be remembered as the guy who got us out of a terrible, wasteful Forever War.  If the economy is in good shape (especially regarding higher wages) and COVID is under control, in that people who want their free vaccine shots have gotten and will continue to get them, he'll win a second term pretty easily.  You have to be an enormously terrible incumbent not to win a second term in America, for starters.

I'm willing to bet anyone five bucks at least.

America was led into a two-decade occupation under the most false pretenses imaginable -- that a functioning government, let alone a democracy, can be imposed from the outside rather than grown organically from within.  No wonder that the very same "serious" people, and the institutions that pay them handsomely in the military and the media, are now headed for the fainting couch now that the spigot of blood and treasure is being turned off for good.
