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.
ahahahahahahahahahahaha
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
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.
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?”
The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States–Taliban_deal which was entirely negotiated and ratified by the Trump administration 🙄
Donald Trump is not a smart man. He didn’t become the threat that he is due to his own skilful manoeuvring. He became a threat because the institutions that are supposed to oppose people like him have failed.
Now that, for the first time in his political career, he’s up against an opponent with basic competence he can’t do anything other than flail impotently.
I didn’t care for her, but Clinton I would say had more than basic competence, though she didn’t really have much charisma, is pretty unlikable, forced out Bernie Sanders, chose a completely forgettable running mate, was running as an establishment candidate in a “change” election, and has a blatant desire for power. It all worked against her, though she did still win the popular vote. Still fairly competent though.
I would argue Harris is in a similar situation as Clinton, though she apparently had the sense to at least pick someone more likable than herself and her almost invisible tenure as VP actually may work to her advantage. Otherwise, she’s not incredibly charismatic on her own and could be in trouble at the debate with Trump, though his elderly, stroke-addled brain may help her out.
But if it gets into the same sort of thing like in his debate with Biden, where Trump is just throwing out BS bombs left and right, and all Kamala does is just uselessly flail around trying to address his BS points one by one, I think she’ll be in trouble. She needs to cut through the BS and present herself as the adult in the room, and make Trump seem infantile and ridiculous.
I was expecting a major crisis when Harris took over since she did abysmally in the 2020 primary. She was one of the first “serious” candidate to drop out, not even making it to 2020. Shes essentially just cruising on “not an old white guy”
All agreed. The Clinton’s are political animals, best of the best at the game, but Hilary doesn’t share her husband’s over-the-top charisma. She works best behind the scenes, not on camera kissing babies.
And this hilarious meme hit far too close to home.
Wait. Who was her running mate in 2016? I legitimately don’t remember. Wow.
It’s late, and I misread this as:
This has Lebowski’s fingerprints all over it.
Needless to say I was a bit confused.
