Please join us tonight for an evening of politics and conversation over a pint at the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally.
The Seattle chapter of DL meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm. We will be on the patio in the back. The kitchen is still closed, but feel free to carry in food. Note that a COVID vaccination card and ID are required to enter the Roanoke.
Chapters of Drinking Liberally are re-opening all over the place. If you can’t make the Seattle chapter, find a chapter near you.

Hey Burka Bob, how ’bout this: “Our troops and US personnel have our thoughts and prayers as they make their way back to US soil.”
How does that work for you? Pretty good? Great.
That is what your ilk always offer victims of mass shootings in this country that are gunned down by one of their own.

The always wrong wing klownservatic hysteria over masking and vaccine is of course rooted in very deep-seated racism.
It’s the “invaders” from south of the border that have the disease and should be “deloused”, masked, and given shots for “their” disease.
Klownservatics as usual are never the problem. It’s the “others”, the “less than” that is always the problem..
Klownservatic parents in TexASS ripped the masks of teachers right off their faces the day before school:

Their unhinged rage is disgusting.

Portland, OR (AP) — The conservative militant group Proud Boys today took to the streets of downtown Portland, Oregon to demonstrate for expanded immigration opportunities for Afghan migrants and refugees fleeing Taliban rule.
“This shall not stand, man”, shouted one of the Proud Boy demonstrators as he struggled with his sagging trouser waist laden with various weapons and canteens. A person who represented himself as their leader demanded that Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler appear and concede to the group’s demands.
“We won’t rest until all our brave Afghan comrades are safely housed here in Portland and surrounding communities. We call upon Mayor Ted Wheeler to turn over the Federal Courthouse for use as a refugee resettlement center. We will fight to the death if we have to” the man screamed before sitting down to catch his breath.
Later convoys of late model Mazda pickups accessorized with oversized rhino guards and roll cages paraded through quiet tree lined neighborhoods flying Afghan flags and blowing air horns.

Joe Biden: “The buck stops with me.”
Donald Trump: “It’s the media’s fault. It’s the Democrats’ fault. It’s China’s fault. It’s Fauci’s fault. It’s Pelosi’s fault. It’s Obama’s fault. It’s Hillary’s fault. It’s the voters’ fault. It’s God’s fault. It’s your fault.”
Democrats are just better than republicans.

The greedy racist incel indulging in lying. “Horsesass.org was named after former FEMA director Michael Brown’s incompetence in dealing with a crisis,”
The truth on the website:
“David “Goldy” Goldstein is an accidental activist who stumbled into politics in 2003 with a satirical statewide initiative to officially proclaim WA’s serial anti-tax initiative sponsor, Tim Eyman, “a horse’s ass.” ”
I don’t know why the greedy racist incel feels compelled to lie about something easily checked.

It is because he is a fucking idiot. Everyone here, except Burka Bob, knows who/what the blog was named for.
This just goes to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt he has zero credibility. We all know it by his posts but he had to drive a nail in his coffin to put any misgivings to rest.
Well done Burka Bob, well done!
Steve spews:
@16 @17 He can’t post here about anything without telling some stupid low IQ lie, and he doesn’t have a single thought in his low IQ head that isn’t treasonous or about being ass-fucked by a horse.
Good, though, to see him profess concern for brown Muslim people. That’s a new development. Too bad it’s just low IQ horseshit spewn by a low IQ dumbfuck traitor.
Really, his only redeeming quality anymore is that the low IQ dumbfuck traitor is easily triggered. I like that about him.

Man, when I fuck up I really fuck up. I own it.
My bad. Goldy got national press when he did his Michael Brown journalism. I misremembered, and holy shit did I do it bigly.
So have at it. Enjoy it.
Realize, of course, that I claimed that Biden’s incompetence is worse than Michael Brown’s was, and on that point I am unmoved. Along those lines, the person second in line for the presidency has developed a sudden interest in finding out why Biden fucked this up so badly. Perhaps it’s because she knows he should be twentyfifted and she also knows that Kamala will never, ever be up to the job. Which would mean Nancy might have to step in and run the country.

Over on handbill.us Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit has penned an op-ed claiming that Critical Race Theory permits him – even encourages him – to employ racist slurs in his writings. He specifically references without regret his prior use of the slurs eggplant, towelhead, and gook. He bases his opinion on a court case in Britain:
Vicious Troll spews:
The amount of physical cash currency in whatever passes for the Afghan government now is down to nearly zero. I have read about two possibilities that might explain this.
1. The departing Afghan leader reportedly had a buncha cash with him. So maybe he raided the treasury before escaping to Pakistan or wherever.
2. The US government, knowing that a rapid collapse of the Afghan government was imminent, did not make the most recent cash transfer.
Either or both of these possibilities seems likely.
Anyway, whatever money we didn’t send as a cash advance we’ll end up sending as ransom payments. Either way, the Taliban will get paid. Maybe we’ll get to hear about more cash transfers on pallets, sent off in the dead of night when the Democrat administration hopes nobody is watching.
Elijah SFA McDotcom spews:
It’s a bit of a rabbit hole (apologies to RR) and you might not care to watch it all the way through. But there’s a comprehensive short doc film that attempts to explain the boy rape culture in the mountainous regions of Afghanistan here:
https://youtu.be/B7eMUwkKiFY
It’s a persistent medieval culture, regardless of what side you choose. Women are not permitted outside. They are essentially property. Normal sexual relations between men and women outside of a contracted bride purchase are forbidden and punishable with a death sentence or banishment. So they fuck the little boys instead. All the time. Everywhere. It is routine.
Frankly, as bad as the Taliban are, the one thing that might recommend them is that they were pretty effective at stopping the sexual slavery of young boys.
This is really just one of many peculiar and very troubling elements of traditional Afghan culture. Training ANA is nearly impossible. The recruits are forced into service mostly by poverty or as a criminal sentence. They are not merely illiterate. Some can not even count. They are innumerate. Very difficult to train. And they start nearly every day getting high as fuck. Literally just wasted on hash. They won’t move a fucking inch until they’ve had the minimum number of cups of chai. And who the fuck knows how many that is.
https://youtu.be/mmU6S_0HVS8
U.S. Army Embedded Training Teams sent to these outposts to train up and equip the ANA security and fighting forces are left to discover all of these peculiarities for themselves. The Pentagon and State Department strategists and planners officially deny/ignore the existence of these widespread and deeply inculcated practices. The obstacles that these practices present and the denial of them by the civilian and military leadership creates a crippling sense of discouragement for U.S. trainers.
If I’m honest here, there might be some possibility of standing up reliable security in the Taliban areas. But only if these cultural practices are recognized and incorporated into those plans. And that would be politically impossible for the U.S. For good reason. I can’t see how we could ever openly ask U.S. taxpayers to fund child sex slavery (even though that is exactly what we did in secret).
Trust me when I tell you that despite whatever Bob says, you do not want this guy immigrating to the United States to live on your street.

The Taliban committing to safe passage for Americans is the worst news that our low IQ dumbbfuck traitor could have possibly heard.
You see, the stupe traitor has very high hopes that a lot of Americans will be killed soon so he can post low IQ snide about their deaths on the internet.
Just something democracy-hating fascist traitors like our low IQ stupe like to do these days for kicks. That and premature ball-spiking. Our low IQ stupe traitor is really on a roll today with the latter.

After nearly six years of his being a member of a treasonous fascist cult that worships a raging orange man-baby, a cult in which even the slightest deviation from utmost devotion to Dear Leader results in being devoured by other cult members, I can see why our low IQ stupe is completely baffled by seeing progessive people and media criticizing our president and not being eaten alive.

Moobs is cornered and needs to trust the Taliban. Moobs needs this fiasco not to get any worse. Trusting the Taliban is all he’s got.
5,000-10,000 Americans is an awful lot to risk on trust in the Taliban. I hope it works out. Even if it does, Biden’s mask has slipped, and Kamala is cowering rather than stepping up.
Americans are learning what they elected.
