Spare us the fake mourning and fake celebrations. Own it. You voted for Biden / Harris, own it.

We lost 13 men in uniform. I mourn them. If civilians in Afghanistan died trying to escape along with departing US troops, I mourn them as well. I do also celebrate the hundreds of soldiers who very well could have died - but thankfully didn't - in a forced withdrawal from hostile territory.
