The alternative to withdrawal from Afghanistan was not “endless occupation” but open-ended presence. Occupation is imposed, presence invited. Unless you think we are occupying Japan, Germany, & South Korea. And yes, withdrawal was the problem. https://t.co/FceI02wWNF

Did I miss the part where the afghans invited us? Because I’m old enough to remember when this whole thing started and not even the Bush admin was claiming we were invited. I also don’t remember anyone inviting us once the withdrawal was announced, and trust me, if we had been, Fox News if no one else would have covered it. They didn’t. Why don’t you just admit you want us to stay there forever because at the end of the day that’s what this comes down to, and I think you know that.

The Biden administration's policy in Kabul boils down to this: Let's trust terrorists (the Taliban) that uses suicide bombers to protect U.S. and Western evacuees from other terrorists (Islamic State) who use suicide bombers.

What can possibly go wrong? It just went wrong.

Honestly trying to wrap my head around this concept of Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan amounts to trusting terrorists, while Trump’s deal-making with said terrorists and having a great relationship with said terrorists does not apparently equal trusting terrorists.

I could be very wrong but, if you’re making a deal with someone, or you’re claiming to have a great relationship with someone, trust is implied. It’s even more implied when both deal making and great relationship-having are happening.

Also I’m wondering exactly what the folks accusing Biden of trusting terrorists while conveniently leaving out Trump’s trust of same were expecting to happen when the U.S. left Afghanistan. Did they think the fucking Taliban was going to just stand aside despite the deal and that a non-terrorist government was just going to pop up and magically maintain power?

Don’t get me wrong. I think there absolutely things worth criticizing about Biden’s withdrawal and specifically how it’s been executed. but “He’s trusting the terrorists!” is definitely not one of those things, unless there’s some alternative I don’t know about where the Taliban is kept from assuming power without our maintaining a continuous troop presence and basically making Afghanistan a client state.

I guess cheapening and trivializing the Holocaust has become routine for House Republicans. Do other Republicans even bother to condemn this sort of thing any more? https://t.co/YlmFm2kIdP

No, because actually Republicans are just fucking fine with cheapening the memories and lives of the 6,000,000 Jews slaughtered as long as there’s political gain to be had. That’s the only reason they can be bothered to be outraged about said cheapening too. Don’t call them anti-semites though, some of the most important people in their lives are Jews plus it really hurts their feelings and besides that they totally love Israel mostest mostest mostest.

For thousands of years, disease pathogens have spread from person to person. Never before have carriers been blamed for infecting the next sick person. That is a very dangerous ideology.
— Martin Kulldorff (@MartinKulldorff) August 24, 2021

There was that thing though when people who didn’t carry the disease were absolutely blamed and then the carriers depployed the power of the state and the church (but I repeat myself) to make sure the healthy paid dearly for being healthy, including with their lives and the destruction of their communities. Until we get anywhere remotely close to anything similar happening to those who defiantly refuse to take any Covid19 vaccine, sit this one out.

Would you, in good faith, honestly, and earnestly, campaign for Trump in 2024 for $10,000,000?
— sofia 🧡 (@moomoomeadows22) August 22, 2021

Absolutely not. There’s not enough money, or even intangible benefits, on this planet to convince me to do this.

Let’s be clear. Our scorn is not directed against the unvaccinated. It’s against the purveyors of antivaccine antiscience aggression and disinformation who exploit innocent and trusting victims for personal gain or political expediency https://t.co/1UodSfDiba
— Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD (@PeterHotez) August 20, 2021

Actually my scorn is absolutely directed at those who choose to remain unvaccinated against Covid for no other reason than “I don’t wanna!”. It’s also directed at the people mentioned in this tweet. And no Tucker, (can we just start calling him Fucker yet?), scorn of the defiantly unvaccinated and their enablers is not just like lynchings.

Raise your hand if you want this plane landing in your town?

America paid unimaginable costs in Afghanistan because of uniparty globalists who dominated the Bush & Obama administrations.

Raised hand, you bigoted piece of shit. Signed: one of those “globalists”, which we all know damn well actually means Jews. From the bottom of my heart, fuck you.
