Bingo.

The media will never admit it, but they've been waiting for an opportunity to harshly go after Biden to prove anew how "balanced" they are. "See, it's not just Trump!" #Afghanistan

raise your hand if you would like to see Trump and Pompeo and Kushner testify under oath in front of Congress for 11 straight hours on live television to explain why it was so important to release five thousand Taliban militants from prison and how much did they profit from it

September 14, 2001. Afghanistan War resolution. U.S. Senate and House. 534 to 1.

The arsonist watches the fire with "deep sadness."

OAN predictably loses its appeal in its defamation lawsuit against Rachel Maddow,

Two years ago,
@maddow
said OAN was "Russian propaganda." OAN sued for $10 million.

Today, an appeals court said "Maddow’s statement was well within the bounds of what qualified as protected speech under the First Amendment."

OAN will pay MSNBC $250,000 to reimburse legal fees

Afghanistan: Twenty years of wasted money, youth, and blood

I cannot celebrate the victory of the Taliban. While they have been fighting an imperialist, capitalist occupation, they represent the worst of religious fundamentalism, patriarchy, and hierarchy. Still, it is striking to see the curtain pulled back so poignantly, revealing American military exceptionalism for what it is. Twenty years of wasted money, youth, and blood.

Based on what I saw, US counterterrorism operations are chiefly about creating markets for US military technologies and products and securing resources for the US empire. For 20 years, we propped up local and regional warlords, giving them weapons, money, and arms so they wouldn’t attack our forces. We green-lit their death squads and called them the Afghan Local Police. Working at senior-echelon levels, I watched both ranking officers and junior soldiers scramble to pad their résumés in hopes of becoming mercenaries for the companies and agencies that were actually running the show. Generals made careers and went on to be employed by those companies or the Department of Defense/Intelligence Community. From Syria and Iraq to Yemen and all across Africa, throughout our 800 military bases, I do not know of a single military mission that is chiefly focused on creating peace and stability.

Stephen Miller's Worried His Racist Fantasy Might Come True

Racist motherfucker motherfucks racistly.
BUT, isn't he a little off script?

Stephen Miller: It is becoming increasingly clear that Biden & his radical deputies will use their catastrophic debacle in Afghanistan as a pretext for doing to America what Angela Merkel did to Germany & Europe.
