Blinken, asked what kind of Trump admin planning it received for the May 1 Afghanistan withdrawal the Trump admin agreed to, suggests almost none: “We inherited a deadline. We did not inherit a plan.”

1. Wow, that's brutal! But I think most of us here knew that tRump and his cabal had no plans for

Anything.

3. Priorities, priorities, please. TFG had to plan for the election...

which he lost, thank God, and then for the "stop the steal" insurrection on Jan. 6.

First things first.

2. Trump publicly said his admin had a great plan, which means they had no plan whatsoever

We know this via the associative property of "Everything Trump Ever Says is Total F***ing Bullshit".

4. The only 'plan' TFG ever made in his 4 years....

was how to steal more money from US!

5. Didn't Trump's people refuse to meet with Biden's people?

There was no passing of the torch. There was no Trump plan to pass along anyway.

15. Yep!

They kept them out of the State Department through most of the transition. And pretty much out of everything because of that woman who refused to fund the transition process.

6. No plan to have Mexico pay for wall, no plan

to get rid of ISIS in 30 days, no plan to replace ACA, no plan to the pay off the national debt, no transition team, no plan to get our people, our allies, our military, our equipment out of Afghanistan or northern Syria. TFG is a joke, a lie, a con, yet he is being hailed by some as a 'savior'. Lunacy.

7. The plan was in the "Infrastructure" folder. nt

[patphil]

8. Yeah, it was always "infrastructure weak".

[leftieNanner]

16. Filed right behind "H"

for his Healthcare Plan.

Two weeks hence!

[Wounded Bear]

9. trump's plan for everything was to "wing it"...

[ProfessorGAC]

11. Or Worse!

The other likely alternative was they'd simply never execute on the deadline.
Keeping a deal was not a virtue among that crowd.

10. It's in the same binder as his health care plan.

We'll see it in a few weeks.

[NBachers]

12. More sabotage and minefields laid for us.

[spanone]

13. K&R

[The Unmitigated Gall]

14. We inherited a sack of wet shit.

Typical for pukes to leave behind, at least since Poppy Bush left Somalia for Bill.

[moondust]

17. And 5000 Taliban prisoners on the loose

and ready for some "action."
