The kitchen is still closed, but feel free to bring your own dinner. Note that a COVID vaccination card and ID are required to enter the Roanoke.

    Well, we should leave them to their fates then.

    U.N. Secretary General admits Taliban reprisals against staff have begun

    But for the 3,000 Afghans working for the U.N., mostly out of Kabul, there is little or no assistance.

    It’s too bad the UN isn’t a member of the G7, or Biden could have blown them off earlier today, too.

    They fucked up. They trusted us.

    The Biden government is having major difficulty with numbers. Earlier today we learned that “several thousand” really meant about 4,400.

    It’s still “several thousand”, and they’ll be stuck with that answer unless by Friday they figure out a way to re-define “ten thousand” to mean roughly 6,500.

    In two weeks the US has evacuated maybe a third of the US citizens stuck in Afghanistan. Maybe. There are fewer than 7 days remaining to evacuate the rest. It ain’t gonna happen.

    If Andrew Cuomo could kill 10,000+ Americans merely by not sending them anywhere, he’d certainly be capable of moving that many Americans out of Kabul so he could keep them alive, amirite?

    Andrew Cuomo killed four times as many Americans in one year as the Taliban managed to kill in 20.

    Stable genius alert.

    President Joe Biden announced that he has asked defense officials to put together “contingency plans” for keeping American forces on the ground in Afghanistan beyond the end of this month — despite claiming earlier Tuesday that the White House would abide by the Taliban’s “red line” of a full withdrawal by Aug. 31.

    Exclusive — Larry Elder Dares Joe Biden to Campaign for Gavin Newsom

    I’ll believe it when I see Joe Biden come here. I’m not sure he’s going to. I understand he’s supposedly going to come here to campaign on behalf of Gavin Newsom. His popularity now is in the low forties — I think I saw 41%. Most Americans don’t even believe he’s home — that somebody else is in charge. So it’s going to backfire. But let him bring it in. Let him have him come in, and try to defend Gavin Newsom’s record on crime, and on homelessness, and on the outrageous cost of living, and on the way he ignored science and shut down the state to the point where a third of small businesses are gone forever. Let Joe Biden make that case for him. I want him to come here. Let him do it. And out of all the major political figures in America, Gavin Newsom’s one of the few who’s praised the way he handled the Afghan crisis. And it has been a disaster after a disaster, one of the worst foreign policy mistakes America has ever made. So if Joe Biden wants to come here and lend his presence to California, I welcome that opportunity. But I don’t believe he’s going to do it.

    I don’t see Biden doing it, either. Biden gets weary from a trip from DC to Delaware these days.

    For a guy who has pinned so much on predicting a California recall, you don’t seem to know much about the history or really even how it works.

    Polarization is not your best friend here. The best thing Larry Elder has going for him is that, as polarizing as he may be, he’s not that recognizable outside of your KILL HIM WITH HIS OWN GUN/JOO SPACE LASER/AM HATE RADIO bubble. Lining up polarizing figures to endorse him in a statewide ad campaign is chef’s kiss. My guess is they’ll test the ad in social media and then pull it. But I hope I’m wrong. Because anything that increases polarization also increases turnout. And turnout is how you lose.

    3. Mayor Pete
    4. I assume Warren not confirmable although she’s the most competent of the group, which is sort of a shame until one considers that she did it to herself.

    55,
    Changed plenty. Not in your favor, Bobby.

    The days of Nixon/Reagan Republican dominance are so long gone now as to be mythological. That’s a big part of Newsom’s challenge. Not that many California voters perceive the risk of a guy like Larry Elder becoming their next governor. It doesn’t seem “possible” to them.

    And they also don’t have the reasons to care. Unlike 2002 they are flush with cash. Gasoline is relatively cheap. And their car tabs aren’t being tripled. The “reasons” that fueled qualifying the recall for the ballot have melted away significantly Summer of Delta heatwave and fires. Californians have bigger fears than mask mandates and gym closures.

    @ 57

    Changed plenty. Not in your favor, Bobby.

    I beg to differ. Last year in the early phases of The Wuhan both Cuomo and Newsom were lauded for their handling of all of it. Their skills were “presidential”, in case nobody could really coalesce around a senile incompetent idiot as their nominee. Remember that?

    Now Cuomo’s a disgraced former politician after being hounded out of office and Newsom has, like, a 51:49 chance of surviving a politically fatal recall event.

    I’d say that’s change in the GOP’s favor. Change We Can Believe In.

    2022 will be here before we know it.

    They’re exactly, precisely, 100% entirely identical in every way.

    Because you typed their names in the same sentence?

    Remember that?

    Certainly not in the way that you or Stephen Miller do.

    I do recall that the stanning for Cuomo was driven entirely by the perception among “Third Way Democrats” that Cuomo was a corrupt Democrat authoritarian with a well demonstrated ability to get into vicious political mud fights and therefore a perfect nominee to pit against your Orange Insurrectionist.

    Instead the least confrontational of potential nominees beat your guy’s ass, flipping back every single state and a few more in the bargain. No bamboo fibers or JOO SPACE LASER required.

    I haven’t started calling him a low IQ stupe for nothing.

    Speaking of low IQ, the low IQ stupe is terribly triggered the last couple of days..

    Remember the days when the low IQ stupe traitor would diss low sample registered voter polls as inaccurate? As of yesterday they’re the low IQ stupe’s lifeline. That is, as long as they give him the results he desperately needs to hear to keep the low IQ stupe traitor from jumping off a bridge.

    Politico/Morning Consult Approve 50, Disapprove 48

    Down only 1 point from two weeks ago. Twice the sample of RV than USA Today/Suffolk.

    64,
    Some of the people on Joe Biden’s National Security Council and the West Wing coms staff have learned one or two very valuable lessons about the Department of Defense reports that they rely upon. Lessons they have learned the hard way.

    But in the end, however much the Pentagon has lied, and however poorly the White House messaging has prepared Americans for our departure from Afghanistan, Biden will be remembered first as the president who brought it to an end – an end that was destined to be sad, and frustrating – but an end that was literally being demanded by American voters across the political spectrum.

    His poll numbers will recover nicely. And in plenty of time to continue Poor Bobby’s unbroken string of defeats. Poor Bobby’s devotion to flogging this story is opportunistic, to be sure. But it also happens to coincide with a disastrous decline in Republican polling numbers and overall confidence.

    Everywhere you look, all across Red Murica, “conservatives” and leading Rape Fantasists are killing themselves by their own hand (‘nother). There is no more powerful indicator of their nihilistic malaise. For the first time since they began pushing the “First Vegetable” narrative during the 2020 campaign they finally have a thin reed of traction. But it coincides with a gloriously explosive real world demonstration of Republican incompetence in every single corner of Red Murica in the form of over capacity ICUs, and growing body piles.
