First we must stop lying to ourselves. Lying about how we treat our women, how the police and court system treats minorities, and how we criminalize the homeless. The 20 years of our recent wars has been long enough to put these issues on the world stage. Our real gift to people everywhere is showing them you have to fight for democracy HERE, just like they need to WHERE THEY LIVE.

Presidents who lie us into war should go to jail not be "rehabilitated" like George W. Bush. Rewriting history is an American specialty, and it seems he will benefit. That just compounds the damage he and Cheney caused.

The Afghanistan withdrawal has really excited President Biden's enemies, but he did not lie to us or them. Joe telling the truth is really going to drive the Republicans nuts. Kabul's airport is already calming down; planes are landing and leaving full quickly. Our troops will get the job done. Sanctuary promises must be kept by all countries involved.
