Is this like the last withdrawal where they kept a shit load of troops in?

"Any remaining U.S. troops in Afghanistan would be a number the administration, in consultation with allies, determines is required to protect American diplomats in the country, the official said."

"Afghanistan is at a 'level that we can address it without a persistent military footprint in the country and without being at war with the Taliban.'"

Hypothetically as a 20 year old man who started in the war October 2001, you still have a chance for your now 20 year old son to finish the Taliban off and bring a souvenir back to your middle aged self.

Why is the President wearing a mask on camera when he is fully vaccinated?
 
My old work mate who is part of the diaspora will be happy. But qui bono other than let's stick it to Erdogan?

Possibly because he is around potentially unvaccinated people. Remember: the cloth mask is to protect others. The vaccine is to protect you.

I’m sure other world leaders had similar reasons:

Was Biden the Only Mask Wearer at Virtual Climate Summit?

The goings-on of a multi-day summit cannot be gleaned from a single still picture.

Biden to sell child care and free university in speech to Congress

The Democrat will pledge to enact free pre-school and community college in a speech to Congress.

100 days....

"President Joe Biden is expected to call for the most sweeping revamp of US benefits since the 1960s as he delivers his first address to a joint session of Congress.

Speaking on the eve of his 100th day in office, the Democrat will pitch $4 trillion (£2.9tn) of spending on child care, education and family leave.

He already passed a $2tn Covid package.

History will also be made as two women sit behind the president for the first time during a speech to Congress."

21st century LBJ...with women.
 
"Can our democracy deliver on the most pressing needs of our people? Can our democracy overcome the lies, anger, hate and fears that have pulled us apart? America's adversaries - the autocrats of the world - are betting it can't," he said.

"They believe we are too full of anger and division and rage. They look at the images of the mob that assaulted this Capitol as proof that the sun is setting on American democracy.

"They are wrong. And we have to prove them wrong. We have to prove democracy still works."

...still works. Did it stop working at one point?
 
Someone should remind him of the US-Latin America history between 1960 and, well, now I guess.

Juneteenth: How the US holiday is being celebrated

People are marking the anniversary of the last enslaved black Americans being freed on 19 June 1865.

What kind of holiday is this? What if my life had nothing to do with slave owning or being a slave?

You are a whining self-conceited asshole with no empathy or sense of history?

Juneteenth has been a holiday in Texas for decades - though we didn’t get it off this year because it fell on a weekend.

If you ever get to Galveston, it’s a hell of a party.

I have issues when some Irish and French ex pats in the Midwest and South run out of their meetings this afternoon because somehow this is a meaningful holiday to them.

I have tremendous empathy. I'm always thinking of others.
