    Or better yet if they want to comment, they should get together and try and find a united statement. I know, never gonna happen.

      Better chance they will all STFU. Which is to say none.

        I've not seen any commentary from former presidents on all this. I think there's a tradition of not butting in; there's an understanding of what it's like to be in the hot seat, and they had their turn and now it's so-and-so's turn, and leave him to it.

        It's kind of like when Tom Brady was asked to comment on Aaron Rodgers' troubles, and what advice he would give him. I don't recall Brady's exact words, but it was something to the effect that Rodgers knows what he's doing and he, Brady, had faith that Rodgers would handle it just fine.

        Kind of like that.

          I may be wrong, but I think 44 broke that tradition.

            One big difference between Trump and other former Presidents, Trump is still a potential candidate for the office in the future.

              yes, and 44 was the first president in memory to blame all his problems on his predecessor.

                    That wasn’t for me was it? I don’t think I said anything to get that comment.

                      I guess I wonder what a long term presence there that guaranteed women's education, etc. would have had. That would be nearly two generations of Afghans growing up in that situation. We're still in South Korea and Europe We still have a small presence in Iraq.

                        @loki I meant nothing by it. I said I hadn't seen any prez commentary, not that it hadn't happened. But fine-whatever meant I didn't feel like the point was worth dragging out forever.

                        No offense meant, Loki!

                                All I know is that Trump demanded it. I would be very careful about crossing Trump, if I were Biden. Trump is almost as dangerous as robots. And everybody knows how scared the elderly are of robots.

                                        I saw 2 fall in the video. It's being reported that it was actually 3.

                                          This is the only known living being that didn't fall off an airplane wing in flight.
