Defeat is a bitter pill, hard to swallow. Easier to blame everyone but yourself, like @JoeBiden just did. The catastrophic evacuation of Kabul is on @POTUS. Redeeming American honor demands we do everything to bring our friends and allies to safety. — PolitiTweet.org

@wtam1100 We lost. It is a bitter pill. Now we have to work with international institutions like the UN and NATO to mitigate the impact of this disaster on ordinary Afghans. If the Taliban want normal relations with the world they must protect innocent lives. — PolitiTweet.org

How did @JoeBiden get it so wrong? Which intelligence agency forecast that the supposed "300,000 strong Afghan Army" would defend their country? Instead, we left, they choked. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

@JoeBiden must address the nation to explain profound failure of our intelligence community. How did they so grossly overestimate the combat capability of the Afghan Army? Was it ever likely the Afghans would continue fighting once we pulled out? Who told Joe they would fight? — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Instead rushing troops to #Afghanistan as the country collapsed, why didn't @POTUS @JoeBiden send them a month or two earlier to provide an orderly withdrawal? Attempting to sneak out in the dark of night, Joe screwed up & bears responsibility for this humiliating inevitability. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Experts attempting to explain utter failure of our foreign and military policy regarding #Afghanistan is pathetic. #DonaldTrump wanted out. @JoeBiden followed thru with the most bungled retreat ever. We just left. Now #Taliban stooges are driving our Humvees and eating our lunch. — PolitiTweet.org

How much American taxpayer $ has the Karzai clan and cronies drained from Afghan coffers? They were broke when we got there in 2001. — PolitiTweet.org

The Fall of Afghanistan should be a graphic lesson that nation building doesn’t work; that the military industrial complex never met a war it didn’t like; that mission creep is the road to hell. — PolitiTweet.org

Big reason #2020Census shows dramatic increase in those identifying as multiracial is Hispanics. Often characterized as White, we’re really more whitish, a rich mixture of European, African & aboriginal blood. My family is still heavily Taíno, indigenous & proudly “multiracial.” — PolitiTweet.org

Expect a flood of Afghan women and children refugees to the West. US & European humanitarian aid and the granting of asylum and refugee-status must be generous. If they stay home they will be enslaved and left uneducated by their brutal society. — PolitiTweet.org

Dirty secret: we looked the other way as Afghanistan became the world’s principal supplier of Opium. We allowed a generation to get hooked on heroin because we didn’t want to upset the hearts and minds of the Afghan poppy farmers. We protected their dope so they would love us. Ha — PolitiTweet.org

After losing 2,500 GI’s and wasting a Trillion $ in US aid (most of it stolen by warlords & politicians) Good riddance. It’s China’s turn to go broke & get bloodied trying to impose order & decency on a savage, primitive, fundamentalist trap. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Utter collapse of #Afghan military reveals what observers have seen for a generation: leadership is corrupt & as inept as government it purportedly served. We are leaving behind a Narco-State that existed to supply East & West with Opium making dopers & corrupt politicians rich. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Untold Afghan story is 20 years of civilian casualties from ‘friendly fire’. Air strikes should have a specific target based on semi-reliable intel. At 500 knots a Taliban fighter and his grandma look the same. (We can’t bomb them into the Stone Age because they’re already there) — PolitiTweet.org

@wtam1100 A 14-year old & a 16-year conspire to kill a 13-year old in his aunt’s home. At what point do reasonably concerned citizens say enough? #Roadkill — PolitiTweet.org

Between humiliation in Afghanistan, urban violence, and the chaos at the Southern Border, Honeymoon is clearly Over for @JoeBiden @POTUS, — PolitiTweet.org

#HenryKissinger & #RichardNixon-desperate to get out of #VietnamWar-didn't want to be 1st American Administration to preside over a military defeat. So they did everything to get "Decent Interval" between our Retreat (1973) & Fall of Saigon (1975) 2 years. @JoeBiden got 2 months — PolitiTweet.org

The Great Lakes region is awash with water after the wettest summer in memory. Too bad we can't share our bounty with the hot, dry west. — PolitiTweet.org

Here in #Ohio-as in the rest of the country- 98% of folk hospitalized with Covid-19 are those who Have Not Been Vaccinated. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Fall of #Afghanistan is tough to watch. Those of us who were there share the belief that 300,000 strong Afghan military is incompetent and unable even to protect itself-much less defend its country. 20 years wasn't enough to stiffen their resolve. 200 years would not be enough. — PolitiTweet.org

As #TheHill points out, it is Disappointing how stingy POTUS #DonaldTrump has been in promoting the vaccines he championed. If he spoke out, more lives could be saved. Vaccine denialism is a tragedy grafted on a tragedy. — PolitiTweet.org

@wtam1100 @zachreed12 3 murders in Cleveland last night. There’s a mayoral election September 14th. You can bet public safety is at the top of the list of issues. #Roadkill — PolitiTweet.org

Stupid ideological alley fight between Republican governors and Democratic mayors over mask mandates in schools. Unless masks are mandatory, spread of new virus variants indicate this school year is going to be another shit show. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor's race here in Cleveland will likely turn on which candidate is best equipped to keep residents safe from crime wave sweeping this and so many other cities. — PolitiTweet.org

Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera

Poll of likely Cleveland Mayoral Primary voters shows @Dennis_Kucinich former #BoyMayor leading the race. Kucinich is ahead in lead up to September 14 Primary- Kucinich 20% to 13% for Kevin Kelly, President of Cleveland City Council. — PolitiTweet.org

#VaccineMandates are future for most businesses, universities & government offices. No vaccine/no entrada aqui; no cruise line, no airplane, no bus, no train. Get the damn shot. My kids should not be infected by someone who feels right to refuse. It's not just your freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

@wtam1100 @Dennis_Kucinich The body count from gun violence in Urban America is the Civil Rights Issue of Our Time. #Roadkill — PolitiTweet.org
