    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.

        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.

                  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.

                                      Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on.

                                        Not to mention the guy falling to his death.

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

                                        I'm so curious what those people were thinking. They must have thought it's somewhat like a train and they could actually make it if they held on tight enough.
