It’s hilarious that the entire point was to draw focus on how Biden fucked up the withdrawal from Afghanistan (while following Trump & literal Taliban combined plan), but all anybody is talking about now is how disrespectful Trump & company is. His purpose for doing this is entirely lost now.
Edit: taliban not isis
The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States–Taliban_deal which was entirely negotiated and ratified by the Trump administration 🙄
If I recall Trump said “they couldn’t stop even if they tried”
Crowing about it because he will use it as an attack later. Just like the tax bomb set to raise income tax for regular Americans after Donald’s term.
Even if it worked, that’s just more hypocritical nonsense.
“Biden messed up, these 13 Americans are dead. Not quite as many people as I killed by messing up a pandemic response, or by blowing the cover of American spies, but if I get in office again I’m sure my decisions will kill a lot more people. What were we talking about again?”
literal Isis
You mean the Taliban’s plan, the US negotiated the withdrawal with the Taliban.
It is crazy to expect the Afghanistan military to fight when the US president negotiated handover of Afghanistan with the Taliban
I mean the afghan military was only marginally less awful than the Taliban, sometimes significantly worse, and they weren’t exclusive evils to the afghan people. Turns out giving money and arms to the worst psychopaths you can find to fight the other group of psychopaths you gave money and arms to doesn’t have a good outcome.
To quote an afghan before the withdrawal: We have three problems, Kabul, the Taliban, and the Americans. When the Americans leave, we will have two problems.
The us involvement in Afghanistan was truly one of the biggest blunders in a century and it didn’t have to be. It wasn’t just one president but a 20 year failure in state building, that had been run with profit in mind. The us used to be able to do this in Japan and Korea(only the South though). I believe it was the corruption and the contractors that set up such a terrible state.
Given the massacres and decades of terror under the dictatorship that were required to create modern South Korea, I wouldn’t hold it up as a success.
Yes, that’s what I meant… I’ll edit…
Please please please start another speakership crisis 🙏
ah, yes, the infamous Meirdes Touch
¡Ay Dios Mío!
Man, ever since Biden dropped out, the fascists have been even more incompetent than usual. I’m gonna assume it’s from them panicking.
Here’s the thing, a weak Democrat candidate meant the GOP could ride the curtail of a natural red wave born from voter dissatisfaction into another Trump presidency. They didn’t have to try faced with Biden so they didn’t have as many opportunities to show their incompetence.
Now democrats have rallied and the writing is on the wall that Trump isn’t good enough just by the virtue of being the republican choice. He actually has to try, which he hasn’t done since 2016, and he’s pretty bad at trying.
That is just Trump showing his usual respect for the military and especially the “losers” (according to him) - those who paid the ultimate price to protect the country.
Using dead soldiers as a political prop. Keep it classy, Republicans.
Support the Troops was only a catchy political slogan.
I hope this thing has legs and plagues them endlessly.
This is another guy I feel is untrustworthy just based on his face alone.
It was the whole. Family porn tracking app thing that skeeved me the fuck out.
Imagine being the secret service IT guy who has to build a firewall around that creepy fuck’s wank bank for National Security interests.
I very much so need some kind of source to read. Not because I don’t believe you, I am very interested in what you’re talking About. Lol
I hit a paywall. Here is a link to the archived page which will bypass the paywall.
Yeah I’ll leave that link blue. I think the headline is enough for me.
It has a sort of “I raped your cat but you can’t prove it” energy.
He reminds me a lot of Michael Gove
Obligatory Gove clapping gif
do all these guys have baby hands
Would explain why they’re all obviously compensating for some inadequacy.
He does have the face of someone who’s shat themselves and can’t figure out how to get up and leave the room without everyone knowing.
Then his smarmy ass is just as guilty
Mike Johnson with actual power would be a living hell. Turkmenistan levels of living hell. If he had as much power as Trump he’d be at the very least equally as dangerous. If he actually gets his career ruined over this (doubt it) and fucks off forever i’ll sleep better at night.
Nice thought
ahahahahahahahahahahaha
What’s with the devil horn finger gesture two women are making in the picture?
Pretty sure it’s the University of Texas’
A&M university’s“hook 'em” sign.ut = hook 'em, a&m = gig 'em
You’re right, my bad. I corrected my comment.
Bunch of fucking narcissistics, disgracing the memory of the one member of their family who was actually worth a shit, just to get attention for their worthless asses.
Is Trump actually giving a thumbs up then, or is he doing A&M’s “Gig 'em”?
Not seeing that. Share.
Far left woman.
She’s just pointing. The “pinky finger” of the horns is actually from the last in blue past her. If you zoom in all the way you can see the skin tone matches.

Wouldn’t the thumb be out for that?

Yes. And also the palm would be turned out, not pointed to the signer.
That’s most definitely an asshole doing a “rock on” gesture with Trump in a cemetery.
Yeah, it’s an “old” hand gesture, I’m 36 and it was out of fashion for my generation but it was still out there. Don’t think it is divisive other than doing it at a veterans cemetery.
Nah, you just didn’t hang in the proper circles. The ‘rock on’ symbol may be out of fashion, but ‘devil horns’ (same gesture) have always been cool.
I’m the same age as you, and I’ve been to so many shows over the last 2 decades where people were throwing horns and acts were calling on the crowd to throw them too.
Still super inapropes for a cemetery tho.
The widow of one of the soldiers was doing it as well in another photo.
Yes, and palm facing the person. It’s a combination of the signed letters I, L, Y.
Oh, the explanation in literally in the link. -.-
How about this one?
NO
Fuck Ron Johnson.
Yes, I know it’s the wrong Johnson but, still, it needs to be said.
Is Jack at least still cool?
Yeah bro, here drink this before the rest of the guys show up.
Not here pull your pants up and go somewhere private, weirdo
This is the way
But they loooooove the troops, right? Right?
They love the troops like they love women: things to be talked about, controlled and used as you see fit, then thrown away and never thought of again (until there’s a scandal anyway).
If only avoiding Trump was as easy as avoiding porn!
I feel bad for the Marckesano family. It’s so hard to bury a loved one who served our country, with all the pressures and hardships involved. It’s an unfair and unexpected addition to a hard time like this.

I think it’s the family of the person buried beside the one with the posing weirdos.
Exactly this. Maybe the other family thinks it’s great to have Weird 34 by their son’s headstone, the Demented Conman responsible for the events leading up to the withdrawal from Afghanistan. But the other families shouldn’t have to put up with a degrading and illegal campaign stunt.
You’re right.
