- Reposted by Plain LincolnWasn't the reason "disastrous" become an obligatory attachment to Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan that he wasn't able to get all the Afghans out who had worked with us? Now that Trump is just sending them back, I guess this was just the media's way of trashing Biden in "news" stories.

- Reposted by Plain LincolnIt’s both interesting & funny that Mandelson was a figurehead of the FBPE movement that believed Russia secretly Did Brexit, while himself secretly brokering access to Russian ministers on behalf of e.g. Uber.
