In the conclusion section, the sentence, “The Constitution’s beauty is that it establishes a base whereby all men truly are treated with equality and respect”. We all know that part of the constitution has never been followed. Donald Trump is living proof that a man is clearly above the law. If you have enough money, you are clearly treated with more respect than the common man.
You think President Trump is a criminal? Let’s look at the actual criminal that was part of the big steal. Let’s look at how Biden isn’t protecting our borders. 208 thousand people infiltrated America in Aug alone. People are coming from Haiti now. That man is destroying our country. Look how he also just left men behind in Afghanistan for the terrorist to kill. Look how Biden’s generals just gave the Taliban all the logistics of every Afghan that helped us. They will be killed for sure. How about leaving 92 billion dollars worth of military helicopters, planes, guns and ammo. Dude you’ve some nerve to talk about Trump. He protected our borders and never would of left Afghanistan knowing the Taliban was taking over .imbeciles like yourself should never vote as you side with treason
Oh Susann. Hope you have caught up with facts since you posted this.
The fact that the United States, under trump, entered into negotiations and then an agreement with the Taliban, without even inviting the Afghan government to the table, undercut the power and legitimacy of the government.
The agreement also did absolutely nothing to attempt to bring about a peaceful settlement of the war between the Afghan government and the Taliban. Trump agreed unconditionally to bring down U.S. troop levels to 8,600 by mid-July 2020 and totally withdraw by May 2021. That August, Trump voluntarily cut troop levels down to 4,500, even more quickly than required by the agreement, even though negotiations had not even begun.
They balked at starting negotiations until December, and even then, had zero incentive to make any concessions since Trump had already announced that there would be only 2,500 troops in Afghanistan by the time he left office, the smallest U.S. force in 20 years. It was clear to the Taliban that the Americans were quickly headed for the exits.
The Biden administration would have had to not only abrogate the Trump withdrawal agreement but also deploy more troops and get them more deeply involved in the fighting.
The Taliban knew it had won the war once Biden’s predecessor had signed the troop withdrawal agreement — now it was only a matter of time.
Billions of dollars worth of equipment was removed or demilitarized by the U.S. military before leaving Afghanistan. An exact accounting of the military equipment currently in the Taliban’s hands is not available, though one expert estimated that the total value was closer to $10 billion.
The $80 billion figure reflects the amount of money the United States spent to train and equip military forces in Afghanistan over the previous two decades.
The U.S. military took “70 plane loads” of equipment out of Afghanistan. In 2015, $7 billion worth of equipment was destroyed.
Close with this! Trump secretly invited the Taliban to the presidential retreat at Camp David on the eve of the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Pretty cool huh! Talk about a traitor! Guess that makes you one too if agreeing with tRump.
And as and idiot I would like to point out that you are uneducated and praising a false icon and traitor. So, I guess that make you the Idiot!
Well said my friend
KEN CHASE: Please, instead of spewing vague and unsubstantiated accusations based on feelings, try posting something that is based in fact. That would be great.
They all are that’s why need a new government system that will protect our constitution.
Children’s services across the country seem to have their own playbook and their own set of rules. The absolute disrespect for the law and disregard for civil rights of those of us who lack the income to afford an ensure these are adhered to as an American born citizen. They unlawfully entered my home while I was home alone asleep and even admitted during a hearing that she knew there was Noone in any danger at the time. I have not in any way been given anywhere close to a fair trial. I was even completely left out of a very important hearing that I was to attend by law and given the proper zoom link for yet completely left out of and decisions made about my granddaughter that I was denied attendance to. Children’s services expect us to not only follow and abide by all laws, rules, regulations and procedures and do backflips through whatever hoops they throw in front of you and after they have completely traumatized you and your children and grandchildren. I now suffer with PTSD and my granddaughter informed me during our visit today that her nightmares have pretty much gone away now. She’s 8 years old. I can prove that they unnecessarily removed her from our home after unlawfully entering our home but PTSD has caused me to stutter and shake when I try to talk about this. I can not afford an attorney that cares or even dare to fight children’s services. What kind of America is this?
I am a Christian but holy moly this is an aft up world we live in . why are we so divided and not united , the divided states of America is bringing down everyone and everything it ever stood for may God have mercy on the government and everyone that lives in this great country God bless America amen
So the question is are we legally Bound by the US Constitution to overthrow a tyranny government
It seems at though you have twisted the intent of Amendment 6. Federal government is not to rule absolutely over State governments.
Yes, we #**54!# are, and people had better get ready for that.
If they try to hand over sovereignty to the WHO, the only appropriate response is overthrowing the government as it will have violated the Constitution.
“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” — Lincoln.
Biden and Co. are the perverters of the worst kind, regardless of your political orientation. Trump sucks too, but…at least he didn’t try to sell out the United States.
The problem is not the Constitution, but the people with the duty to follow it. The FBI stated that what Hillary did was a violation of law, but that no prosecutor would dare bring charges. That’s DERELECTION OF DUTY on the part of the FBI, DERELECTION OF DUTY by the Congress in not demanding equal treatment/application of law to any and all persons, DERELECTION OF DUTY by President Obama for allowing such a violation of law by his agency.
Lawlessness has appeared in high places in America.
