Democrats turning themselves into a minority party with support for Biden Afghan fiasco

 Matt Margolis:

Well, Biden’s found his base.

A new poll from the Washington Post and ABC News confirms something we’ve known for a while: that Americans overwhelmingly wanted us to get out of Afghanistan, but also overwhelmingly disapproved of how Joe Biden handled the evacuation, which ultimately led to the deaths of 13 U.S. service members.

Joe Biden’s approval ratings have taken a huge hit because of his incompetence. In both the RealClearPolitics poll average and the FiveThirtyEight weighted poll average, Joe Biden is underwater. Still, this new WaPo/ABC News shows just how much his base is propping him up.

While overall, U.S. adults supported withdrawal, 52 percent disapproved of how Biden handled it, and only 26 percent approved. But, a stunning 52 percent of Democrats said they approved of how Joe Biden handled the withdrawal.

...

When roughly half your party makes up a portion of the 26 % approval, your party is in trouble on this issue.  I suspect that if this was a Trump fiasco that 52 % of Democrats approving the move would shrink dramatically.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
