Last Thursday’s horrific suicide bombing revealed why we must get out of Afghanistan as quickly as possible. For the GOP it was an opportunity to sharpen their talking points in advance of the 2022 election; calling for Biden to resign a pathetic bone tossed to the party’s MAGA base. The reality is that it’s Trump and his GOP lackeys who are the real terrorists; spreading their election lies, allowing Covid to rage out of control while allowing the extremists in their party to metastasize. The fact is more death and chaos has occurred on their watch in the past year than all the US targeted terror attacks frankly, ever.
