  • He is also the only President to release 5,000 terrorists. This is how he brought peace to Afghanistan.

    Trump invited the Taliban to Camp David just before the anniversary of 9/11 without involving the Afghan government or America’s international allies.

    After the Camp David scheme fell apart, Trump subsequently cut a deal directly with the Taliban that freed 5,000 imprisoned fighters, allowing them to return to the battlefield to regain strength, and put the Taliban in its strongest military position in 20 years.

    Trump proceeded with talks despite reliable intelligence that the Taliban did not intend to abide by the deal’s terms, and he even acknowledged that they could “possibly” take over the Afghan government after U.S. withdrawal. New York Times: “Trump’s Deal With the Taliban Draws Fire From His Former Allies”

    Trump’s deal made major concessions and left the U.S. with only 2,500 troops in Afghanistan when President Biden took office—the smallest force since 2001.

    The deal set timelines for withdrawal and gave permission for the Taliban to attack U.S. troops if the timeline wasn’t met.

    Trump left the Biden-Harris administration with zero plans for an orderly withdrawal—only a dangerous, costly mess. Trump even bragged that the Biden-Harris administration “couldn’t stop the process” he started.

    Now Afghanistan is fully under the Taliban control who regularly murder women for funzies. Perhaps you could cynically say it was going to happen anyways. We all know the truth though. Trump and his gang of rejects let it happen on their watch.










  • There was a lot to unpack in what you said. A shit ton of you being upset over the situation in Israel and a lot of you trying to shift the blame.

    I find it strange you attack the only people who would agree with you stances. Everyone I know who claims to be liberal is bewildered at what Israel has done. The conservatives I know approve of Isreal’s right to defend themselves at any cost.

    Also that last bit about the oppressed becoming the oppressor is interesting especially when you see what happened in South Africa and Israel. The answer is of course to recognize and stop the cycle but it does often feel like a pendulum.


  • Yeah, I am failing to see the downside. People are worried Vance would be more effective. Not me, I know they would be at each other’s throats soon as Trump is taken out of the picture.

    Plus you finally set the precedent that politicians and billionaires can go to prison. Now all the rest are on watch because it could happen to them.

    Politicians and the wealthy need the fear of God put in them. They love to do it to everyone else. Now is the time to start holding them accountable for their lies and fraud starting with perhaps one of the most fraudulent liars on the planet first.

    It is probably a fantasy, but damn it would be a good one.




  • I think the real problem that no one in the US is prepared to deal with is we are the bad guys in almost every situation. Once you peel off the thin veneer of freedom and supposed rights you are left with a militaristic corporate oligarchy. One that regularly uses and abuses human beings.

    It is no surprise we played both sides before being involved in WWII. Powerful influential people from the US helped bank roll the Nazi party.

    Then when this poison tree bore fruits the Nazi came to the US and other countries asking that we take the Jews.

    The same people who backed the Nazi party in the US said hell the fuck no and doomed the Jews to die.

    Then we go in killing a shit ton of innocent civilians and declare we are good guys. That’s right the people who helped create the Nazi and deny the Jews safety are the good fucking guys. Unfucking believable.

    The truth behind the US is so ugly no one can truly face it. This is just one story in the book of fuckups we have perpetrated around the world.




  • I think you are missing something important. Oh yeah, they gave their nuclear arms back to Russia for peace. Who would have thought their brothers and sisters would betray them, after all they are practically the same people.

    This is what makes the whole thing just fucking crazy. It would be like if Puerto Rico voted to be an independent nation and signed a peace treaty with the US. Then less then a couple decades goes by and the US starts attacking them when there are more Puerto Rican’s in the US than in Puerto Rico. It does not make any sense.
