Were willing to call for pulling out of AFG. I wonder how many of them will change their minds now...since TFG didn't do it.

Biden makes the decision to pull US troops out of Afghanistan, and the news is... Bernie's statement applauding Biden for his decision?

Please tell me how that works!

When we had primary forums Donkees was the host of the Bernie forum and posted pretty much all of the articles. Donkees often posts articles on Bernie Sanders.

Which is fine if he were to address his posts to Bernie enthusiasts like himself, but regularly finding this in General Discussions is just as tiresome as finding inordinate amount of articles about what any given Kardassian is wearing (or not wearing) today on an aggregate news website. I sympathize with Donkees' devotion to Bernie, but, for Bernie's sake, I wish he wouldn't trivialize Bernie so much in this forum.
