What Joe Biden should have learned from Jimmy Carter
The Hill ^ | 09/01/2021 | PAUL C. ATKINSON

What Joe Biden should have learned from Jimmy Carter © Getty Images The U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan has concluded, accompanied by a refrain that the 20-year American troop deployment represented the nation’s “longest war” — a conflict seen by President Biden as far too long and costly for results that, had the commitment continued, might have secured a stalemate at best.

But as the post mortem over the president’s decision continues, it’s worth remembering that this is not the first time a newly-elected president has bucked the consensus of the national security establishment in an effort to end an extended troop commitment. In 1977, in the wake of U.S. disengagement and defeat in Vietnam, President Carter attempted such a move in a different locale, with a very different result.

Whatever Joe may or may have not learned in the past is now lost in a fog of dementia.

Joe doesn’t care. He knows the MSM will cover for him. That’s why he laughs.

The people who handle biden have learned alot from Carter.
Not that Carter intentionally screwed up the economy or how he dealt with Iran.
On the other hand “biden’s” Cateresque screw ups are intentional.

Wut? Is this satire? Both are going to the same hell as far as I know... Talk about asking for Marxist blind to lead the blind. This is a new one.

Socialist’s don’t learn.

They believe their ideas fail because they simply were not implemented in the scale required to make them work.

Examples:

-Chicago believes that their gun crime is a result of areas outside their cesspool having guns available. If we ban all guns nationally it would work.

-Obama care was a disaster because it just wasn’t enough.

-Mass transit fails because it’s not enough.

-Green energy fails because it’s not enough.

-Mass public education fails because it’s not enough. You need more money, more taxes, more teachers, more counselors, counselors for LGBTQIA+, you need bigger stadiums, more computers...

They blame the scale and pretend as if their idea would work if it were just more of it! Hahaha

A joke which explains the socialist mindset: You have a socialist trying to run a business. He buys a product at 10 cents a unit. He has a truck and transports it across the country and sells it for 7 cents. After three months he’s nearly broke. Then he has an epiphany as to what to do to fix the problem!!! He needs a second truck!

I wish everyone, the media and even us, would stop making this a “Biden” issue. He is a senile, cardboard cutout being used by those truly in charge. We need to identify them. My vote is for Obama, Jarrett, Rice and the whole host of the Obama crime family.

He should have learned how to do something useful and productive: raise peanuts.

I’m more interested in what voters learned from Carter.

Like not to vote for someone even worse than him.

Carter just wanted us to turn the thermostats down (or up in A/C months).

Biden wants to take away our gas fired appliances and furnaces.

Exactly. He is not running anything. We have shadow government behind the scenes running everything.

How long was the cold war. I don't agree with a lot of our Middle East actions under Bush/Cheney, but at this point the mission is deterrence - of Islamo-terrorism and China.

We withdrew deterrence. It's like becoming sick to death of the space taken up by the joists holding up your roof and tearing them out only to have the roof come down on your head.

This was before a time when the Democratic party actually worried if the United States would fail. Now that’s the goal in order to usher in Socialism/Communism. Cloward and Priven’s theory wasn’t a strategic game plan back then for the Democrats.

Yeah.

California has already outlawed (I believe...) any new
gas involvement in new homes.

They’ve also powered down gas power plants.

The place is run by people with an IQ under 90.

All the drama about Afghanistan and Covid is not going to kill Biden and the Democrats politically. The economy killed Carter’ pollical career, it will destroy Biden’s as well/

The lying about inflation is what going to kill them. No matter how hard they cook the books families are seeing heir earnings being eroded away by the out of control inflation. When American start feeling the hurt in their pocket book is when they get angry. That is what destroyed Jimmy Carter.

Shipping costs have seen a 30% inflation this year. That means there is a 30% inflation across the board. Wages are not keeping pace with that inflation rate.

The results is every year Biden is in office US Citizens are going to be feeling the hurt more and more no matter how much the Government massages the numbers to lie about real inflation.

I’ve said before and will again...Biden and his administration has no concern or fear from the public as they’re covered up and down the chain. Nothing affects their push to position the US for the Global Agenda...nothing will hault this march.
