This is an embarrassment for America

I have seen and heard a lot of right wingers make this statement or something similar about what is going on in Afghanistan….but they are completely silent on what happened to the Capitol on January 6th…I think the latter was a bigger embarrassment

Whoops, we tried to overthrow the government. I totally forgot!
But don't worry, we won't do that next time!

- the 1/6 insurrection
- TFG being elected president
- TFG 4 yrs in office
- the anti-maskers
- the anti-vaxxers
- the Repug Governors of the Red States
- Mitch McConnell
- Matt Gaetz
- Rudy Guliani
- the Tr**p family
- the Big Lie
- the Bigger Liar
- the voter suppression & gerrymandering by the Repugs
- not holding TFG accountable
- TFG's two impeachments
- the separating children from their parents at the border
- the caging of children

We could go on and on and on with embarrassment by the Repugs and TFG
You want embarrassment. The Repug Party is an embarrassment along with the people that support them.

We went in there to get Bin Laden, and didn’t feel like having a conversation with the Taliban about it. We got Bin Laden. What we went there for is over.

5-6 year olds were gunned down in their classroom and we did nothing.
