    One has murdered and raped tens of thousands of Americans over the last 50 years and the other has never so much as fired a shot at America, ever.

    Not even a close call.

    It seems s special source of insight has over taken you.
    So perhaps you can clarify?
    Do the renecks also include the deplorable s'? Or are they just synonyms in the code book? Is Caucasian without proper signals the salient clue?

    And how many times has he refuted saying something and then it is shown on a video with him saying it? The guy is a habitual liar.

    I rather enjoy reading the varying opinions on negotiating with the Taliban. It seems there is a strong emotional rejection of allowing the Taliban into camp David.
    Some how different than Arafat, whom also drew emotional rejection from many for even being allowed into the US. To me it is something to note but perhaps not judge since I have no need for a decision. But I do wonder if there is a logical reason to negotiate with the Taliban, regardless of the emotional optics.

    History and the reality of the specific religious affiliations of the Taliban strongly suggest that any agreement with this organization is useless if not worthless.
    The same can be said of Nation building in Afghanistan for the same reasons.
    We should leave. Trumps instincts here are correct. But we should be prepared to return and kick ass again if and when required. Nothing in history says, one sessions will be sufficient, nor is there a right way to succeed. There is no shame in understanding the reality.

    The majority of border crossing immigrants are not murderers or rapists. There is a larger percentage of Americans who are murders and rapists. Why do you generalize that they are all murderers and rapists.

    Russia has attacked us through cyberwarfare. Putin controls Trump

    Well, perhaps it is my inability gather what I am expected to intuit from using it as an adverb to vote or is it and adjective to vote?

    I do wish we'd get put of Afghanistan. We will never be able to trust radical islamist.
    As long as we have soldiers on the ground in the mid east they are going to be targets.
    We have enough firepower close by that we could react if needed.

    I really don't care what President pulls us out, if its Trump Ill give him props. Didn't vote for the guy and don't care for him but if he can do good, Im all for it.
    I know there are those that would rather keep our troops in peril than give Tump credit for pushing them out. Fools!

    In my view the US should want to have the greatest Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard and Space Program on the planet....get out of regional conflicts that are not a direct threat and use modern technology to keep global peace....the days of ground troops massed everywhere needs to end. We got Bin Laden with a small group of professionals...not a battalion.

    Thank you for offering a sound opinion.

    We can go into a place like this when we have the need and even hold the moral high ground long enough to succeed in a specific mission. But the invader always will lose the moral high ground, so it is best to leave before that time with the success that was achieved. Way overdue.

    Why would the words "rednecks voting for Trump" be a trigger? I think most rednecks did vote for him. I think most white supremacists voted for him and I think most sexists voted for him..the pussy grabbing fans...not all, but most. Hillary didn't have that fan base.

    Hell, look at that! We can agree in a heart beat with straight talk.
    Alright Mr. Trump!
    Bring the troops home!

    Give the SecDef the mission of developing a contingency plant of how to return when required. Leave none behind.

    We're not leaving Afghanistan anytime soon. They have over a trillion dollars in rare earth elements and an equal amount of oil reserves.

    https://www.livescience.com/47682-rare-earth-minerals-found-under-afghanistan.html

    We're going to use 18 year old service men and women to guard the interests of our corporations.

    But hey, we're going to get the Taliban to super pinky swear not to do anything bad to us while we strip mine their country.

    Because from all appearances it's the foundation of his support group. Is what it is. Every redneck I personally know likes Trump. Scientific method.

    Glad to see that dickhead gone. I wonder if the democrats will turn into John Bolton fangirls now that him and Trump are at odds. You know, The Mueller effect.

    That's how you keep the 18 year olds in line.
