Comments by "" (@pwillis1589) on "President Biden is 'hanging by a thread'" video.

@Youtubsucks5 No that is factually incorrect. For the first two years of his term he had an absolute majority in the house and the Senate. How far back does your memory go?

You understand Trump signed the surrender of Afghanistan. You can read the Doha agreement on the State department website.
2
@hazelnut975 I know the facts not your hack political opinion.
2
@peterg76yt Have you read the Doha agreement? No. It is clear you haven't as your comment bears absolutely no match with reality. Or your comment was deliberately disingenuous to get me to respond to a claim that was so outrageous that either you are either so divorced from reality or so profoundly misinformed it is sad indication of the level political discourse in the US.

@missinterpreted4923 The military withdrawal was precise and well executed. The US forces left without anyone knowing. If you had any understanding of military tactics the withdrawal in contact is the most vulnerable your forces can be and the US did it perfectly. They then had a Ready Response Force of 6500 troops, Marines and 82 Airborne ready to go in if the Afghan army failed. You have been sold a lie by the media. Afghanistan was a failure, but not by the lone actions of Biden but by Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden policies over 20 years.

@Boskov01 None of what I have said is opinion it is historical fact, and your comment clearly shows you haven't a clue when discussing world current events. It is absurd beyond sensible to solely blame Biden for the failures in Afghanistan. As VP for a significant part of the 20 years of failure he certainly deserves his share of the blame, but your comment is worthless as a balanced well thought out piece of political commentary. Biden didn't even have anything to do with the withdrawal agreement, just read it and take note of the signatures.
2
@brawndothethirstmutilator9848 Your comment is made even more ludicrous by your complete lack of awareness about the difference between the planned well executed military withdrawal and the chaotic civilians trying to escape. This is the best analysis you have. You can't even get your facts straight.

By what measure do you mean best? because on economic data he was very average, he didn’t build a wall, he didn’t reform health care, his tax cuts were not particularly large or effective. He certainly increased the debt hugely, he certainly increased the trade deficit significantly, is that what you mean by best?
1
@sylviaking8866 A completely baseless accusation that has no evidence and just a mindless slur.

@Youtubsucks5 Paul Ryan left congress after enacting the Tax cuts and jobs act 2017 and failing to get the repeal of the affordable care act through the Senate. I might point out the tax cuts went to the rich and the jobs didn't eventuate.
1
@Youtubsucks5 Paul Ryan was a deficit hawk, however his period in congress coincided with increasing levels of government spending so yes overall a total Republican failure. What's your point?
1
@Youtubsucks5 A hell of a job of nothing of consequence.

@cartersmith8560 I understand from those descriptors why you loathe Biden. Can you then understand why a lot of people loathe the low intellect incompetent narcissistic corrupt Trump?

Are you just afraid to say Fuck you Joe Biden?

@brawndothethirstmutilator9848 You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the Doha agreement. Trump committed to a total withdrawal of all US forces and civilian support by March 21. All the Taliban had to agree to was have some talks with the Afgan government and not attack withdrawing US troops. They complied entirely with that deal. It was total and complete capitulation. Biden merely honoured the deal Trump signed. By January of 21 Trump had reduced US forces in Afghanistan to only 2500 which is barely enough to provide security for themselves let alone defend two airfields. He ignored military advice to maintain a larger force. Get your facts straight before commenting on something you clearly have little knowledge of.
1
@kevinlee7678 Read the Doha agreement signed by his administration in Feb 20, and tell me what is not a surrender about it. Withdraw all US forces by Mar 21. Trump never intended leaving a single US support person either. You have no idea what you are talking about.
1
@brawndothethirstmutilator9848 Firstly if you even had a remote idea about operational military you would understand there is no direct direction from the President. I mean do you really think that's how it works. Move that ship there move this airplane over here. You assclown. The same withdrawal plan put to Trump and approved was used by the Biden administration and you have absolutely no idea of military tactics and this is plainly clear from your ridiculous assertions.
1
@brawndothethirstmutilator9848 I make absolutely no defence of Biden or his administration. I only state the facts. Biden who was VP through the Obama administration must wear his share of the disaster that was Afghanistan. 8 years of the 20. That's 8 of Bush 8 of Obama 4 of Trump and 5 months of Biden. It is you that is deluded. Other than mindless opinion can you actually point to some data indicating a Biden failure. I don't necessarily disagree with you but have got something other than gut feeling.
1
@missinterpreted4923 Do you hold President Trump personally responsible for the 65 US soldiers killed in Afghanistan during his four year term? The terrorist bomb that killed those US Marines as the civilian evacuation unfolded was tragic don't cheapen their sacrifice by politicising their deaths.
1
@robot336 Would that be 5.6% GDP growth, the 555000 jobs created every month. You specifically mentioned inflation and you didn't mention wage growth so don't make unbalanced comment. I by no means suggest everything is OK there are many problems facing the US and the ridiculous division being created by the hard right and the hard left isn't helping as exposed by some of the stupid comments here. Also what about the 18.7% increase in the Stock market, 8% growth in exports, 10% growth in average wages. The only down side has been the 7% inflation number. Your comment bears little resemblance to reality.

@capitainebonhomme1609 I think you have shamed Kevin Lee out of the discussion.

Do you understand polling numbers change and that a poll is maybe a couple of thousand a presidential election involves 150 million.

Great vocabulary.
1
The Republicans have already supervised numerous audits and not a single audit has changed a vote in Trumps favour.
1
@Youtubsucks5 Back up that statement with evidence, otherwise it is just mindless chatter.
1
The only 2020 election audits under way at the moment that I’m aware of are all states that Trump won and fairly easily. What do dumbass Republicans expect to achieve with that? What is so hard to understand about your demagogue losing an election.
1
@Youtubsucks5 That’s it, your gut feeling! Well I have no answer to that. Why did the US have an election then? they should of saved all that time and expense and just have you and your commonsense pick somebody. That’s a much better system.
1
@Youtubsucks5 I am no fan of President Biden, he is too old and wish washy. Trump was a disaster and both Republicans and Democrats need to find significantly better candidates for the 2024 elections.
1
@Youtubsucks5 Don’t let your commonsense misunderstand fact from opinion. If I state that the four years of GDP growth under Trump were 2.3, 3, 2.2, and -3.5% and the first year of Biden it was 5.6% then this is just factual data it is not opinion nor is it endorsing Biden.
1
@Youtubsucks5 And there is the problem. I was discussing the Trump/Biden differences with another person and they claimed they were indifferent about Trump but absolutely loathed Biden. I asked if you loathed Biden so much why would you not find it easy to accept people also loathe Trump. You don’t need to hate Trump to see the physical coward ( as evidenced by his excuse to avoid the draft) and his moral cowardice ( as evidenced by his inability to accept any responsibility for his decisions). He was a very averaged businessman who inherited over half a billion dollars. He was a very average president who didn’t build a wall, had little legislative success, increased the government debt, and initially failed to act quickly enough with Covid. His economic numbers were OK, but obviously took a dip with Covid and you can’t blame him for that. I’m interested what do you see that Trump has done not just as expected but extremely well.
1
@Youtubsucks5 Happy to go through the 8 years of Obama do you want to do it by quarter or yearly average. Also this data is the same source that Trump used ( US department of commerce) Let’s go yearly average. -2.5, 2.6, 1.6, 2.2, 1.8, 2.5, 3.1, 1.7. For an eight year average of Obama of 1.6% which is not good, now compare that to Trumps average of four years at at little over 1% and how do then substantiate Trumps claim of the greatest economy ever. Can your commonsense explain that?
1
@Youtubsucks5 This isn’t media generated this is the economic data released by the Trump administration. Do you actually have any factual evidence of a word you say or are you just blindly flailing around in the dark looking for a light switch?
1
@Youtubsucks5 I explained the -3.5 number in the next post and said you can’t blame Trump for the recession as it was Covid related. You are the one who needs to show some balance.
1
@Youtubsucks5 Seriously you just called half of all Americans idiots. I’d delete that comment if I was you.
1
@Youtubsucks5 I don’t share your opinion of the average American. If you read widely, take your news from various and multiple resources, and independently verify claims. Balance can be achieved. The Trump presidency was OK but he talked up a big game and failed to achieve it. Biden has started with excellent economic data but appears to be weak in other areas. He still has three years he may improve or it could go pear shaped.
1
@Youtubsucks5 I’m not even remotely interested in changing any minds only pointing out the total vacuousness of your argument. I quoted independent factual data, you offered nothing but gut feeling. My opinion is you wouldn’t know what a functioning economy was if you tripped over it.
1
@Youtubsucks5 Here's the thing, Trump has been on about the $7.70 a gallon gas price in California, but if you did even the slightest bit of reading you would learn that during his term the same petrol station had gas at over $10 a gallon, your argument is rubbish.
1
@Youtubsucks5 I am pointing out that the basis for your argument is your own personal experience and in argumentation this is known as a anecdotal fallacy. It is an informal fallacy in logic and renders your argument invalid. I’m sure your experience is real, but it is the equivalent of you arguing because you don’t have a job then the rest of America must be unemployed as well. Surely you can see the flaw. I was a soldier for 35 years and deployed 5 times and was never shot, so my argument by your logic would be war is safe I never got shot. You see the flaw in your logic now?
1
@Youtubsucks5 And that's what you took out of all that I'm a liar because of your personal incredulity, only emphasising the invalidity of your argument by creating another fallacious statement. Are you listening to yourself before you comment, just to check it makes sense?

Are you proud of your vocabulary?
