I'm a vet. Im a Socialist, and I'm not the only one. LMFAO these Right-wing cucks really think all vets are stupid or still brainwashed. Not true my man, not in any way true. In fact if I had to guess, among vets with political opinions and who go out to vote, I would guess the right vs. left split is probably around 50-50. Oh yeah I do. Especially as we get older and gain more knowledge of the world and start seeing things in much bigger context and grow up and out of all past and previous rah-rah "'Murikka!!" war-drum-beating propaganda.
By the same token I do think Biden and Trump both screwed up royally, whether intentionally or not, and I personally want them to both pay a heavy price for it. I mean, maybe it was inevitable the Talibs were gonna take back over eventually, but we didn't have to HELP them, which Trump did on a platter; on a PLATTER. And then I've never seen such DEPLORABLE botching of what should and could have been a very orderly and staggered evacuation process by that lying, good -for-nothing, Mass Incarcerating, Backtracking and proud, Strom Thurmond-loving, Labor-hating, Anita Hill-attacking, corporate-ballsack-slobbering, elitist ASF, good-for-nothing JOE. I wanna see him impeached over it. I know, that sounds extreme to some but it's not like the GOP would take over, Kamala would. Which is no different to me. She's a cold-blooded and cunning self-serving operator, I'm sure she'll do just fine.
I pretty much have equal opportunity hate for almost everyone in mainstream politics today bec by my standards they're ALL awful and terrible and after a while all the cunning, or corruption, or apathy, or sociopathy, or grifting, or willful incompetence, or dereliction of responsibility or duty, or middle-finger-giving just starts to be WAY too much ongoing bullshit to have to deal with to try to sift thru for that ONE small faint hopeful ray of positive public policy.

@alexscott6095 I get where you're coming from but don't blame the Afghans. As youre about to see that's not really fair and it's a convenient cop-out, and I think it's really cheap and dishonorable that Biden blamed them entirely in his addresses, making them a convenient scapegoat, which thus removes any possibility of blame from himself over his choices re: Afganistan since he took office.
Regarding the Afghan security forces, I had heard they were significantly under-equipped and some, I don't know how many, or where, were half-starving Bec they had food supply problems. Then Trump orders 10 AIRBASES closed during 2020 and most US personnel to leave, while bumping up the Taliban forces by 5000 and their recently-released from jail supposedly top commander. I'm sure the Afghans did what they could but of they were outnumbered, or weren't properly equipped. Also they had been replying on US assistance thru air support but while the Talibs advanced, we had already left and stopped helping.
Yeah maybe some just decided it wasn't worth it and quit, I'm sure that happened; but I'm also sure others tried to stay and fight but logistically based on all this info they were at a significant disadvantage to the Taliban at this point from all my reports. Also I heard all that extra equipment was left at US airbases by US personnel, not turned over to the Afghans. I did hear some of it was in damaged or inoperable conditions but I don't know how much was usable vs. unusable.
This was BOTH Biden and Trump's fault. Biden is a POS by my Socialist justice standards but if you want to be a simple liberal and love him Bec you don't know any better, that's fine. That's certainly your prerogative.

First of all, I think what so many people fail to grasp, is that most drug users are NOT ADDICTED, it's a myth that every user is an ABuser (of drugs); that's just not the case,
but I'll grant some are. And it is true some will commit self-destructive acts in order to feed their addiction, which can cause problems depending on what they are, and that does need to be dealt with if or when that happens, but that DOESN'T mean that its not in ALL of our interest to make drug treatment programs available for all those who want them, and also to ensure that these programs are fairly run and don't insist on total perfection in order to stay in the program. (This last part is important bec I've seen very good people try their best to comply perfectly with all rules of a given program but they are human and they slip up and give in to temptation by using and than once that happens they are often kicked out, losing all the progress they just made. I think that's counterproductive and unfair).
Also, it's very unfair and unkind to assume any drug user will automatically cannibalize a residence in order to support their habit. I'm not saying this has never happened, but it's certainly shouldn't be used as an excuse not to provide all possible supportive services including housing to these people. I mean that's just common sense AND compassionate. You can't just write off a whole class of people because you want to ignorantly maintain a belief and moral judgement about them. Everybody deserves a chance to get help with their substance use problem; and even if they blow it or make a mistake, that just means they're human. They should be held accountable, but after that, they should be given another opportunity to move forward.
Whether it takes one try or 10 tries, if a person is ready to try to improve their situation, regardless of what it is, they deserve help to do so. None of us are perfect. Any single ONE of us could easily be in that persons shoes we look down on if just one thing had been different in our lives, and that's no bull.

The fact that Pigs are allowed to roam free out of their pen in this country continuously astonishes me. Pigs have NO right to leave the station unless they're in DIRECT response to a 911 distress call, or returning from one. They have NO right to patrol ANYWHERE or to move around of their own volition causing ENDLESS criminal behavior, including but not limited to: assault, racketeering, terrorism, theft, robbery, murder, or any other verbal or physical assault wherever they go. It is insane that this is perceived as normal and acceptable by our extremely brainwashed, ass-cucked and lobotomized society.
Why are these amoral predators above the law?!?? WHY are they allowed to openly gangb_ng (that is in essence exactly what they do when they roam around looking for victims and people to intimidate or steal from) when it's considered criminal and unacceptable for any other group to do so??? How much longer will this continue to go on in this fascist sh*thole known as the US of A???? Both internal affairs and the DA's office are jokes. They're pathethic!! They're amoral sinks of ultimate corruption and lawlessness, enthusiastically and joyously and aggressively seeking every opportunity to get ANY Pig off the hook from ANY charge scot- fucking-free. Until that changes we don't HAVE a free society, we have a society that's constantly at risk from violent criminality and animal behavior from the Black & Blue gang of lawless criminals.

@keirfarnum6811 I agree with everything you said other than "incredible airlift". He should have been airlifting for MONTHS before August. What POSSIBLE excuse was there not to?? Biden fucked this up in almost unbelievably incompetent ways. What president or PM waits until the so-called "enemies" of your current government or client govt ARE IN YOUR CITY TO REMOVE YOU before he removes ONE LIVING BODY from that place? Was he even going to evacuate anyone!?!?? Or pull a Trump???? Because it honestly looks like he never even had a evacuation even planned!
Yes, there was absolutely nothing incredible about that process other than pure, shitfuckery and necessity. he should have reopened the 10 AIRBASES Trump closed and organized months of orderly removals simultaneously! Some people had to drive 12 hours to get to Kabul and still didn't make it into a flight I have read. Sickening, just appalling and looks ALMOST intentionally handicapped and done this way, if you ask me.
I heard Biden flatly refused to listen to any of the top generals (because he's so experienced on foreign soil that's right, like Trump he knows everything of course) on how to effectively and rationally conduct a capable withdrawal. He's such an immoral POS. He's just as bad as Trump. Less than zero sense, HIS WAY or the highway. And then he refuses to extend the evacuation THAT HE PUT OFF TO THE VERY LAST SECOND by end two hours!! I mean....... I don't know if this is weakness or Trump-level idiocy and sociopathic obstinacy. I really don't. Here we are running scared, LEAVING PEOPLE BEHIND, BECAUSE oh no, a TALI-swine might get butthurt and say something?!? Has the world gone MAD?!? ANY POTUS WHO HAD HALF A DICK WOULD HAVE SAID "LOOK- WERE LEAVING- YOU'RE GETTING YOUR CITY BACK (not really theirs but that's how they see it), YOU THREATEN US OR ANY OF OUR PEOPLE OR CONNECTED AFGHANS, WE WILL FUCKING END YOU. WE WILL BE DONE, WHEN WE'RE FUCKING DONE. WE ARENT GOING TO LEAVE A SINGLE PERSON BEHIND AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE THAT, THATS YOUR PROBLEM. ANY THREATS OR ACTIONS AGAINST US WILL BE MET WITH OVERWHELMING MILITARY FORCE".
THATS how you handle a situation like that. And Biden is just an 80 year old in diapers, as is Trump- and both of this geriatric fucks just completely rolled over and allowed these ignorant primitives to take total control and set the agenda. It's absolutely breathtaking. Trump willingly did everything in his power to give the country to the Talibs and cut out the pre-existing so-called civilian govt in Kabul, and Biden acted like he wanted to set records for how much of a coward and a complete b7tch he could be, while willingly leaving some people behind. The willful incompetence, sabotage and failure is more than my brain can handle honestly.
I'm disgusted by how Biden chose to handle this and I would love to see him impeached over it. I believe he deserves it. Kamala will take over in that case it would be NBD. I suppose this is the only time in my entire life I will EVER agree with republican swine on anything.

@morenitomoreno1282 fuck you're telling ME! Most people here aren't stereotypical gun nuts per se, but a some-sized minority are. They can't approach the issue rationally.
Govt is for sale here, which won't surprise anyone. The NRA (which apparently is bankrupt now?) has totally abandoned any pretense of being a benign sporting organization and has been ceaselessly paying off all GOP lawmakers for decades to prevent any kind of national gun control laws from being passed. There was an assault weapons ban from '94-2004 but the Bush admin let it lapse (of course) and it hasn't been even voted on since.
I don't personally mind assault rifles (in non-crazy hands), but I feel there should be greater obstacles to owning one then a standard rifle, shotgun, or handgun due to their higher lethality.
I'm all for gun ownership by most, but yes ofc there should be rational regulations on such, but the chuds can't seem to get this. It's f'n stupid. Just like blind people aren't allowed to drive, we should be able to enact reasonable limits (not bans) on firearm ownership. Right now it's handled at the state level. Blue states have stricter regs than Red states. As long as one doesn't get caught, it's very easy to buy guns in a loose state and take them to a stricter state.
Simple things I'd like to see on a 50-state basis are: licensing reqs, req safety training, 7-10 day waiting period before purchasing, and basic background checks just to screen out red flag indicators (recent violent DV conviction, other relevant conviction, mental health concerns).
Also temporary mental health restrictions in times of crisis if ordered by a judge (personal firearms are confiscated then returned after a period of time).
I don't think these simple proposals are oppressive but the knee-jerk reactionaries want to claim disengenuously that we're coming for their guns. I haven't yet met anyone that feels all personal firearms should be banned.

@sindelscat9336 you're right, he survived thankfully. But the cop is guilty of attempted manslaughter then.
Ftr, I do not think all street cops are terrible people, but most are pretty bad IMO. If they work the street they aren't doing any good and they should quit and get a job they can be proud of that ACTUALLY helps people, or at least does no harm.
I hope you're as callous towards yourself as you are towards Mr. Blake the next time a trigger happy crazy killer cop fills you full of lead just because he can, or because it's Tuesday.
We really should value each other's lives more than this. I do. Even if Jacob Blake did something wrong in his past, provides it wasn't a heinous crime and it wasn't, he didn't deserve to be shot seven times IN THE BACK for it. Anyone who shoots someone in the back esp multiple times is a coward and s terrible person and should never be allowed to touch a gun again.
Cop thugs get to murder at will, and very, very rarely have to answer for it, but if we touch a hair on these wrongdoers' heads, we could be charged with assault. Why are they so worthy of being such an untouchable precious species, I ask? Well there are millions of us find this morally objectionable, and we are organizing and taking action. Everyone should have to face accountability for their actions- right now most cops don't. This absolutely should change and must change.

@joseeguizabal6712 I am and no, you're totally right. The whole idea of a war purely for the profits and initiated aggressively based on utter fabrications is about the most amoral thing possible. I'm not against all possible interventions, there are always justifying examples, but must be judged very thoroughly and seriously and thru due process; and I'm glad we kept the Taliban at bay to the extent that we did and took down Saddam & his evil sons, they were very, very vicious, but NO you're 100% correct- this whole project was 99.9% immoral from the start and even I, after all this time haven't learned the full extent of the disgusting levels of ongoing war crimes, appalling tactics, unbelievable incompetence or corruption which sabotaged some of the efforts that could have achieved a better outcome; and an almost total disregard of the indigenous population who ended up as intended and unintended (but never dwelt upon) victims of drone bombing and indiscriminate strafing; and most vile and evil of all, the CIA- led death squads and kidnappings, imprisonment and torture on baseless intelligence.
Guantanamo STILL isn't closed.
Psychopaths from and associated the Pentagon operate with key members of our govts express and tacit permission, including all PMCs.
The business of indiscrimate death and torture is a booming one thanks to the US.
All those responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity on behalf of our gov will never pay. Where's the Nuremberg trials for these people??? For the deaths our immoral sanctions cause, esp in Iraq??? For our efforts throughout Latin America, mostly CIA-sponsored??
Yes, EVERY Prez since 2000 bears shared responsibly in the killing fields that we created overseas all so that 6 defense contractors could experience legendary profits, and ALL previous Prez's bear the responsibility for openly endorsing or turning a blind eye to the savage and murdereous exploits that the CIA have lavishly dealt out all over the world. Not to be too big picture, but the entire foreign policy mission of our govt organization is comply or suffer or die. No one is too young or too innocent to get targeted or dismissed as no more than collateral detritus from covert overthrows or overt attacks.
TLDR: You're goddamn right.

@Nortius Maximus Cool story bro. Well I'm sure by running everything in an ultra-for-profit way is the best way for every person in society to have their basic needs met..... Oh wait. Let's look around the US, with the most poverty and unnecessary strife due to financial lack in the First World. Oops, guess not.
NHS failed??? Guy you just gonna lie now??? LMFAO failed how?!?! The millions of people it provides for every year?? The only thing failing about it is that those right-wing bloodsuckers in the UK in the political class that are trying to make it fail by starving it of funds so they degrade people's confidence in it this paving the way to health care privatization like we have here, which would be a disaster for everyone over there who is in the bottom 50% of income strata, as it is here. HEALTHCARE IS A RIGHT, and if taxes are going to exist then healthcare should be one of the major services provided to a given population. Same as for education, housing, basic living supplement, jobs programs, safety officers (altho most are evil thugs in the US), fire protection, and etc. All public services and guarantees that should be generously funded thru taxes and public management. That's what civilized governance does- but ours is too busy squandering half of our annual national budget on the DOD to fruitlessly export violence and instigate destructive conflicts of aggression the world over; than do its job which is to adequately meet the material needs of the American people.
Oh and we need open borders NOW. I stand with my human family, not just those that look like me, and I'm not the only one. 😙 Bye Rightie.
