It has come to my attention that people didn’t actually follow or understand my earlier rant about Blinken so I will break it down. Btw, I haven’t seen it anywhere in the media — left or right.

Remember that Blinken testified that Trump left the Biden administration with a deadline and no plan. Just to make it clear, the Trump deadline was May 1, 2021. Biden changed that to August 31, 2021, so the Biden administration was not bound by the Trump plan. But more importantly, Blinken said that Trump left them no plan and this is the point that everyone missed. They were too busy trying to claim that Trump in fact did leave a plan. If Trump left them with no plan and just a deadline, then everything the Biden administration did was their plan and they can’t claim that it was Trump’s. They own the debacle that was the withdrawal from Afghanistan, even though they never will. I wish some Republicans in the house or senate had called him on it but apparently they aren’t quick enough or were focused on talking points they wanted to make for sound bites and fundraising.
