I've literally Chopped cable news most of the day and night

and am watching Guy's Grocery Games, but I checked CNN for two minutes and heard a guy full of medals say that allies won't trust the US government for removing Americans first.

So I have to ask a question - when the Slobfather released 5,000 Taliban prisoners including the new leader, negotiated with the Taliban and left out the Afghan government from the meetings, how did that engender trust with the Afghan government, people or allies?

Slobfather? How clever!

Because a Trump-plan would've never involved dropping everything and running-away.

Trump would've told the Taliban that if they f***ed with the withdrawal that he'd drone the Taliban leaders just like he did to Soleimani.   I doubt that they're that eager to meet their nine year old virgins in heaven.

They're always complaining about the 5K Prisoners being released.
They forget to mention that it was a (lopsided for sure) prisoner exchange in which 1K ANA (or whatever they were ) fighters were released as well. They also conveniently leave out that Taliban negotiating team in DOHA, included several of the GITMO prisoners that Obama released... (also a 5 to 1 ration) for that POS Berghdal
