  1. "The buck stops with me." -- President Biden, 08/20/2021 As president, Biden took responsibility for the chaos of the Afghan withdrawal. 'No, I don't take responsibility at all'." --Trump 03/13/2020 Trump deflects blame for his coronavirus  testing debacle, and the soaring number of infections. Personally, I like presidents who don't dodge drafts or responsibility. Imagine that you and a partner have been in a 20 year life or death struggle with a common enemy. A fight where you have both bled together. And then one day, your partner decides to enter into peace talks with your common enemy, but decides to exclude you from the negotiations. Your partner then signs a peace agreement with this terrorist organization, that doesn't include you at all. It doesn't even mention you. That's exactly what Trump did to the Afghan army, the Afghan government, and the Afghan people. Why would anyone think that cleaning up a 20 year debacle would be easy or pretty? Especially in a country like Afghanistan, and especially after the deal that Trump made. Name one thing about Afghanistan that has ever been easy, pretty, or smooth. So far, the US and it's partners have evacuated more than 109,000 people since Aug. 14, the day before the Taliban entered Kabul. That's an outstanding number  considering the chaotic situation on the ground there. Keep it up President Biden.👍👍
