Fox News Poll: Voters think the country is less united under Biden
By a 54-37 percent margin, Americans think the country is less united under Biden rather than more so
Dana Blanton By Dana Blanton | Fox News
President Biden used the word "unity" eight times in his inauguration speech, but voters say the country is heading in the opposite direction on his watch.
By a 54-37 percent margin, they think the country is less united under Biden rather than more so.”

Yup, n' those of us with brains, (or one functional brain cell in my case), know this Republic is circling the drain. Very sad. Only "we the people" can save this place.

Biden is a joke and people are catching on. The Dems are over playing their hand.
IMPEACH 46 FOR TREASON
Biden/Harris 2024
IT'S A NO BRAINER!

A Fox News poll? Let me guess, it was conducted among Fox News faithful through the website, emails, etc. Now, let's hear one from MSNBC.

When the House flips in 2022, Bloody Biden will be held accountable for the 13 military deaths, the loss of billions of dollars of our weapons left behind for the terrorists in the Taliban and ISIS and Afghanistan becoming a terrorist nation-state.
The border crisis that Biden has caused will be addressed.
Perhaps he can be impeached...three times.

Americans and Afghans left behind, hostages, torture and beheadings, all on Bloody Biden’s head.

The botched evacuation, those 13 American soldiers were alive when President Trump was in office. Evacuating the military before the civilians.
The evacuation was done in a frenzied attempt to meet an artificial deadline so that Bloody Biden could crow on the anniversary of 911.
That’s why the 80 billion dollars of weapons were left behind...for the ego of this bloody and dangerous buffoon in the White House.

Total contradiction above. Any life lost is tragic - but to do what they did in an unstable, war-torn country with 13 casualties? That's actually remarkable.
Oh, and to actually get that equipment out of Afghanistan would have cost many more lives.
By the way, the 80 million is a completely fabricated figure that has become a right-wing talking point, since the right doesn't mind lying. It's actually about a quarter of that, and most of it is equipment....not "weapons."
Earl (09-26-2021)
And of course you are wrong...as usual.
Even after the troop withdrawal, the US has left equipment worth billions in Afghanistan.
As per a Government Accountability Office report, the US purchased and provided 75,898 vehicles and 208 aircraft to the afghan army and security forces between 2003 and 2016.
