But Bidenâs decision? Well, on that one, we just get to hear from his people.
đ§”THREADđ§”
Today, President Biden announced his intention to end the war in Afghanistan, to great media fanfare.
You may remember, way back in 2019 & 2020, President Trump said the same thing.
Let me know if you can spot the difference in coverage then vs. now—ïž
But Bidenâs decision? Well, on that one, we just get to hear from his people.
But Bidenâs call? Well, for some reason these concerns seem to have evaporated.
Biden, on the other hand, gets a sympathetic write up despite being the second most powerful man in the country during the height of US forces. Just incredible memoryholing here.
These tweets are mere months apart from @MSNBC. Stunningly, they found people to say the exact opposite things about the decision to pull out.
Were no military leaders worried when Biden made the decision to do the same thing?
For Biden, we just hear from him directly on the benefits of his plans.
It didnât. And now that Biden is calling the shots, weâve got nothing but pomp, circumstance and PR pull quotes.

We need fact checks. But it\u2019s a problem when wrong or unverified claims aren\u2019t checked from one side of the aisle.
Case in point: the \u201cRussian bounties\u201d theory that was recently dashed. MANY people were pushing this allegation.
So will we get a followup @MaddowBlog? pic.twitter.com/qHVIKt8eWy
