'member when Trump was going to hold a secret meeting with the Talaban at Camp David and scrapped the idea after it was leaked to the media and then went ahead to negotiate with terrorists leaving the Afghan government out of the talks so the inevitable collapse would happen because he ordered the release of 5,000 Taliban generals and soldiers who immediately joined back up to the main Taliban army to cause that collapse?

Any sane member of society not in a cult remembers.

No. There's plenty of people who forgot, and more importantly, plenty of 18-year-olds (or younger) who were not yet politically awake when that happened. That was over 6 years ago, when these 18-year-olds were 12 and not even in high-school yet.

Its our job to meme Kamala's response to this. Kamala brought it up in today's debate, and we now need to teach the world about her response. Direct from her mouth.

And we also need to meme Donald Trump's insane response to the Camp David discussion point. The young voters won't learn unless we teach it to them.


And there's plenty of ~16 to 25 year olds who are "only waking up politically today", who need to be shown this history and context.

Thanks, Trump.

Right because the commanders were totally being directed by Biden.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
