    In the previous thread teh widbee kreepshit quoted the following:

    Brockman said he thought the reaction from Democrats and party officials had pushed Cotham to switch parties. He also said he knows how she feels, and doesn’t blame her “one bit.” “I think she just wanted to do what’s best for her district and when you’re constantly talked about and trashed — especially the way that we have been over the past few weeks — I think this is what happens,”

    So who was this “Cotham”, a woman, who became a repuke? Kreepshit continued about “Cotham”..

    this NC black bitch should just STFU and take it, like all minority Democrat women, when their party makes them unhappy and disrespects the people they were elected to represent.

    File this one under November came and went, no one gave a shit and poor Moscow Mitch’s hands grow ever more purple:

    “Over his last 11 months in office, President Trump ordered a series of drawdowns of U.S. troops. By June 2020, President Trump reduced U.S. troops in Afghanistan to 8,600. … A month later, President Trump tweeted, to the surprise of military advisors, that the remaining U.S.troops in Afghanistan should be “home by Christmas!” On September 28, 2021, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Milley testified that, on November 11, he had received an unclassified signed order directing the U.S. military to withdraw all forces from Afghanistan no later than January 15, 2021. One week later, that order was rescinded and replaced with one to draw down to 2,500 troops by the same date. During the transition from the Trump Administration to the Biden Administration, the outgoing Administration provided no plans for how to conduct the final withdrawal or to evacuate Americans and Afghan allies. Indeed, there were no such plans in place when President Biden came into office, even with the agreed upon full withdrawal justover three months away.

    As a result, when President Biden took office on January 20, 2021, the Taliban were in the strongest military position that they had been in since 2001, controlling or contesting nearly half of the country. At the same time, the United States had only 2,500 troops on the ground—the lowest number of troops in Afghanistan since 2001—and President Biden was facing President Trump’s near-term deadline to withdraw all U.S. forces from Afghanistan by May 2021, or the Taliban would resume its attacks on U.S. and allied troops. Secretary of Defense Austin testified on September 28, 2021, “the intelligence was clear that if we did not leave in accordance with that agreement, the Taliban would recommence attacks on our forces.”

    Looking like total Assholes and creating lots of racial undertones while not actually getting anything done.

    This is the way.

    Under the Tennessee State Constitution, an interim successor can be appointed by the legislative body of the expelled member’s county until a special election is held.

    A majority of members of the Nashville Metropolitan Council will vote to reinstate Justin Jones to the Tennessee state Legislature after he was expelled from the House of Representatives on Thursday over his protests on the chamber floor against gun violence.

    Twenty-three members of the 40-seat Metropolitan Council confirmed to NBC News or on social media that they plan to vote to reinstate Jones to the Legislature.

    Disney is “acting like somehow that they pulled one over on the state,” Mr DeSantis said this week of the last-minute deal.

    “But now that Disney has reopened this issue, we’re not just going to void the development agreement they tried to do, we’re going to look at things like taxes on the hotels, we’re going to look at things like tolls on the roads,”

    Like LITERALLY none of that is going to hurt us. But maybe Ron doesn’t realize that the roads he’s talking about were built for OUR convenience not the Orlando area or the state. It was the 60s man, all we had to do was offer grass or ass and we got everything we wanted and all roads lead to Disney. So Ron is talking about adding tolls to the commutes of 300,000 Floridians. Ron can’t enact a hotel tax on just Orlando because…he’s the state not the county…and just wondering how the Casinos in the redneck panhandle are going to react when Ron tries to make a trip to Pensacola more expensive than Mobile. How’s making a visit to Potterworld, also in Orlando but at Universal gonna play with the OTHER really big company that can afford a couple hundred million in lawsuits and campaign contributions? Jacksonville is a pretty Red part of the state but how’s a room occupancy tax collected by the State of Florida going to go over? Hey Daytona, we see your 500 from our windows. Spring Break was tough this year wasn’t it? Attainder…heard of it Ron?

    Ah, and aren’t you against taxes in general? What a buffoon. We were here when you was shitting in yer ‘midwestern roots’ diapers over in Dunedin. We’ll still be here running this state when you’re in the grave, pal.

  21. 21

    @19 It occurs to me that Ron’s retaliation against Disney is going to hit the pocketbooks of Disney World visitors from all over the country, including swing states.

    To hurt Disney’s profits, he’ll have to make it so expensive to visit Disney World that people won’t come. Then he can campaign as the candidate who took Disney World vacations away from families and kids.

    18,

    “Playtriotic” fascist paste eating fat fucks like the Shit-lord think Biden can reinvade Afghanistan without airfields. Derp.

    As you rightly point out, three months later to attempt to safely restore force numbers would have entailed enormous risks and costs and been entirely pointless.

    Such an operation would require advanced force and logistics planning to carry out, and prepositioning of personnel and resources. Without secure airfields to support the operation it would have to be preceded by massive naval redeployment and a campaign of airstrikes and insertion of SF, followed by deadly paratrooper assaults in highly populated areas to resecure airfields. An operation of that scale and intensity in 2021, if it could be carried out safely at all, would have required months of prep.

    Trump turned the country over to the Taliban. Since the US never wanted it, why on earth should we have mounted a full scale airborne invasion involving tens of thousands of US personnel and resulting in tens of thousands of Afghani casualties? For what possible purpose?

    Republicans can not be trusted with national security. This proves it.

    teh widbee kreepshit can hardly wait to do a stupid dance in December when it applies to receive its first social security check. It thinks that will be some kind of a burden on my two young sons – young being college graduates in their 20’s, both gainfully employed.

    Well in accordance with that deranged “thinking” yours truly celebrates the passing of each and every always wrong wing klownservatic – every old one getting a check and every younger one who’ll never get one.

    From time to time yours truly celebrates the passing of Dori Monson, a klownservatic seething with anger and hatred and spewing bad faith arguments on the radio. Ticker gave out at 61 years old. That’s what guzzling gallons of diet pepsi each day can do to one.

    Found this gem:

    Tell All Book Explains Dori Monson’s Mental Breakdown

    …The author claims that Monson’s mental decline is a direct result of a harmful pharmacological cocktail which he has consumed on a daily basis while participating as a willing test subject in an Entercom sponsored science experiment.

    Bumkowski says Monson is regularly given large doses of a horse tranquilizer, added to his morning cup of Starbucks coffee.

    “The company wanted to find out if they could artificially manufacture right-wing talk show hosts to fill positions at their other conservative radio station KTTH,” she said.

    Apparently, after several weeks of this experimental chemical treatment, Monson eventually went “bonkers”…

    https://www.seattlestar.net/2015/04/tell-all-book-explains-dori-monsons-mental-breakdown/

    Well Entercomm became Bonneville.. The article, from 2015, is satire.. Very funny. Highy recommended. Another sample:

    Monson’s contention that the city council is controlled by a cabal of extreme leftists is legendary. This theme has been a major part of his attacks on the city’s culture.

    “I’m done!” he shouted on the air last month. “I absolutely hate Seattle! I hate its politicians, I hate its activists, and I especially hate its constant annoying crowd of hippie anarchist cry babies!”

    “Sawant and her group of radicals say, ‘We demand a more equitable system! We want rent control and a $15 hour minimum wage! We want to smoke marijuana and have sex with our partners in the street!’”

    Long live Seattle! Dori Monson is DEAD! widbee kreepshit believes that’s GOOD for my kids.

Hops might have also been used to reduce sexual desire among monks, though it’s difficult to substantiate whether it really worked. Of course, we’ve all heard that when you’re too drunk, you can’t keep it up — and this is where the term “Brewer’s Droop” comes from.”

    CBS News’ Ed O’Keefe calls bullshit on First Vegetable Joe Biden.

    CBS Senior White House and political correspondent Ed O’Keefe blasted the Biden administration’s attempt to “whitewash” any wrongdoing with regard to its handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal Thursday.
    …
    After being asked, “Did they take any responsibility or acknowledge any mistakes made by the Biden Administration?” O’Keefe replied, “The word ‘mistake’ appears once in this 12 page report.”

    He noted it came when the document referred to 10 civilians in Kabul being “mistakenly killed” in a drone strike. “That is the one time we see the word ‘mistake’ on an incident in all of this,” he reiterated.
    …
    “But it spends three and a half pages laying it out and saying it’s the Trump administration’s fault for negotiating with the Taliban, for inviting them to Camp David, for withdrawing U.S. forces to such a level that you would’ve had to have sent more in rather than keep it at those numbers, and for not allowing the Biden administration to see those plans during that boxed transition you’ll recall in late 2020 when the Biden transition teams were trying to get information from agencies and the Trump administration was blocking them from doing so,” he continued.

    “National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said they were going to do a ‘hot wash’, which is a fancy bureaucratic term for a deep dive into what went wrong. This 12 page document is a whitewash,” O’Keefe declared.

    It was a document produced for consumption by weak cocksuckers like Queen YLB, who don’t know any better than to take Biden at his word.

    More like The Even Bigger Fucking Moron Effect.

    American IQ Scores Have Rapidly Dropped, Proving the ‘Reverse Flynn Effect’

    According to a press release, in studying intelligence testing data from 2006 to 2018, Northwestern University researchers noticed that test scores in three out of four “cognitive domains” were going down. This is the first time we’ve seen a consistent negative slope for these testing categories, providing tangible evidence of what is known as the “Reverse Flynn Effect.”

    Hard not to notice that a majority of those were Obama years.

    “If you’re thinking about what society cares about and what it’s emphasizing and reinforcing every day,” she says, “there’s a possibility of that being reflected in performance on an ability test.”

    If a president can reduce troops in Afghanistan, a president can increase troops in Afghanistan.

    And so First Vegetable Joe Biden did. Hurriedly and without proper planning.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The last-minute decision to send 3,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan to help partially evacuate the U.S. Embassy is calling into question whether President Joe Biden will meet his Aug. 31 deadline for fully withdrawing combat forces. The vanguard of a Marine contingent arrived in Kabul on Friday and most of the rest of the 3,000 are due by Sunday.

    Officials have stressed that the newly arriving troops’ mission is limited to assisting the airlift of embassy personnel and Afghan allies, and they expect to complete it by month’s end. But they might have to stay longer if the embassy is threatened by a Taliban takeover of Kabul by then. On Friday the Taliban seemed nearly within reach of contesting the capital.

    That’s from The AP and it was published August 13, 2021. Combined with the 1,000 troops there at the time (which means Team Biden continued to draw down troops left after the transition, because there were 2,500 there when the disastrous Biden presidency began), Team Biden was planning for 4,000 troops in Afghanistan. If that wasn’t going to be enough he could have added more. He didn’t.

    But Thursday’s decision to dispatch 3,000 fresh troops to the airport adds a new twist to the U.S. withdrawal. There is no discussion of rejoining the war, but the number of troops needed for security will depend on decisions about keeping the embassy open and the extent of a Taliban threat to the capital in coming days.

    Having the Aug. 31 deadline pass with thousands of U.S. troops in the country would be awkward for Biden given his insistence on ending the 20-year U.S. war by that date. Republicans have already criticized the withdrawal as a mistake and ill-planned, though there’s little political appetite by either party to send fresh troops to fight the Taliban.

    Kirby declined to discuss any assessment of whether the Taliban are likely soon to converge on Kabul, but the urgent movement of extra U.S. troops into Afghanistan to assist the embassy drawdown is clear evidence of Washington’s worry that after the rapid fall of major cities this week with relatively little Afghan government resistance, Kabul is endangered.

    Biden fucked this up, and bigly. How so? By claiming that the Afghani troops were competent. They weren’t, and the DoD and the White House knew it.

    Worst of all, instead of attacking the Taliban, we droned a family of Afghans who were our friends.

    The State Department said the embassy in Kabul will remain partially staffed and functioning, but Thursday’s decision to evacuate a significant number of embassy staff and bring in the thousands of additional U.S. troops is a sign of waning confidence in the Afghan government’s ability to hold off the Taliban surge. The Biden administration has not ruled out a full embassy evacuation or possibly relocating embassy operations to the Kabul airport.

    There are a little over 4,000 personnel still at the embassy; the State Department has not said how many are being pulled out in the next two weeks.

    The Biden administration warned Taliban officials directly that the U.S. would respond if the Taliban attacked Americans during the stepped-up deployments and evacuations.

    At least First Vegetable Joe Biden didn’t try to blame that on someone else.

    My president is a corrupt, senile, incompetent, and feckless coward.

    69 is like watching a ten-year-old with Down’s and ADHD explain how the neighbor’s Panamera is built.

    On Easter my Dad says I should honor Jesus by thinking about the sick and the poor.

    But doing anything about it would be socialism.

  72. 72

    @ 70 is ostrich behavior.

    First Vegetable Joe Biden fucked it up. The most you can hope for is that people forget after three years.

    They won’t. Recessions have a way of focusing the mind.

    The most you can hope for is that people forget after three years.

    They forgot after one year..

    That explains “Senators” Laxalt and Oz, amirite?

  76. 76

    And you’re trying to get away with it now, coward.

    By the time Biden became vice president in 2009, the disastrous war in Iraq, the endemic corruption of the Afghan government, and the return of the Taliban had made him a deep skeptic of the American commitment. He became the Obama administration’s strongest voice for getting out of Afghanistan. In 2010, he told Richard Holbrooke, Obama’s special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, that the U.S. had to leave Afghanistan regardless of the consequences for women or anyone else. According to Holbrooke’s diary, when he asked about American obligations to Afghans like the girl in the Kabul school, Biden replied with a history lesson from the final U.S. withdrawal from Southeast Asia in 1973: “Fuck that, we don’t have to worry about that. We did it in Vietnam, Nixon and Kissinger got away with it.”

    @ 70 is ostrich behavior

    Actually arguing that a modern military can safely and effectively reinvade and establish military control over a vast, rugged, unimproved, landlocked territory the size of Texas while lacking airfields or any control over the airspace without months of preparation is:

    – disingenuous bullshit;
    – disqualifyingly ignorant;
    – a typical masturbatory fantasy of the kind of paste-eating gamers and keyboard warriors who now define the GOP’s relationship to global security and who concurrently argue that Biden “fucked it up” by rallying NATO to back Ukraine;
    – ALL THREE

  78. 78

    Nixon and Kissinger got away with it.

    And kreepshit would vote for them in a heartbeat.

    And it will have no choice but to vote for drumpf in 2024. But we all know it will happily do that, don’t we? heh.

    @ 75

    God bless HA’s dumbest twat, pulling names out of nowhere and conflating a couple of Senate races held just after the Dobbs decision with a foreign policy and military disaster caused by a completely different branch of the federal government a full year earlier.

    Queen YLB continues to earn her place as an incredibly inane woman. Without her The Even Bigger Fucking Moron would be all by his lonesome as a moronic twit.

    a typical masturbatory fantasy of the kind of paste-eating gamers and keyboard warriors who now define the GOP’s relationship to global security

    A while back I quoted the Iraq pre-invasion idiocy of one of those keyboard warriors..

    That guy is dead now. And lookee who has assumed the mantle.

    HA’s court fool – teh kreepshit.

    @ 77

    ..while lacking airfields or any control over the airspace without months of preparation is…

    When did I ever write that First Vegetable Joe Biden should not have taken the time necessary to withdraw in a safe and orderly manner?

    The individual who wanted to do it without adequately securing an airport and without taking the time to do other planning necessary for it was…

    …wait for it…

    … First Vegetable Joe Biden.

  82. 82

    a couple of Senate races held just after the Dobbs decision..

    I seems to remember HA’s court fool babblin’ “fill the tank, make the rent”, no one gives a shit about abortion..

    And also babblin’ people gave a shit about America staying buried in the graveyard of empires..

    Oh and fer shure Laxalt and Oz together w/ kon klown woulda advocated for a return to the graveyard to “finish the job”..

    yawwwwwn… it fayled then, it will fayle again, but keep tryin’ kreepshit. for our entertainment..

  83. 83

    They forgot after one year..

    Forget it.
    He’s a Republican on a roll. Not gonna pass up an opportunity to remind us all how shockingly incompetent Republicans are.

    Let’s buy Greenland and quit NATO!

  84. 84

    Poor kreepshit, isn’t flayshun’ enough? Recession has legs, yes. World economy, the banking system is a mess, yes.

    Today it babbles about America’s trillion dollar failure in Afghanistan. Why aren’t we still there spendin’ more munee?

    Too bad all kon-klown and company can babble about is “woke”. They’ll get to recession eventually yes, and their “solution” is..

    ban abortion, persecute “woke” education, shame and punish “woke” capital, cut SS, medicare, medicaid, food stamps and always tax cuts for the rich “job creators”..

    predictable, ain’t it?

    But somehow yours truly doesn’t hold out hope for a return to the empire crematorium.

    Not only do these Red State take more Federal dollars from the Taxpayer, they fleece more of it from the Taxpayer visa vie the Heterosexual Neanderthal Virus.

    Breeding will not save them nor will the Sanctity of the Groomed Marriage. Bride be Groomed!

    @72 “The most you can hope for is that people forget after three years. They won’t.”

    I expect the folks still screeching “BENGHAZI!!!” won’t forget. The rest will be thinking about abortion and whether they want a solitary Texas judge running their lives.

  91. 91

    @83 A corner recess of my mind thinks if the U.S. pulled out of NATO, Greenland wouldn’t be for sale at any price because its current owners wouldn’t and it over to a Putin pal and would want a refuge to go to if things didn’t work out on the continent after the U.S. pulled out of NATO.

  92. 92

    In addition to kreepshit doing a stoopid dance over its first ss check in December, it also shared it wants to finance a Tesla vehicle with that ss check munee..

    By all means yes, please do that,

    Tesla employees internally shared private, sometimes embarrassing photos and videos captured by car cameras without customers’ consent, violating privacy rights afforded by California law, a class-action lawsuit filed Friday alleged.

    The footage, taken between 2019 and 2022, included a naked man approaching a Tesla, people’s children, and videos of crashes and road rage, according to a complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

    The lawsuit alleges employees were not sharing these images for business use, “but for the tasteless and tortious entertainment of Tesla employees, and perhaps those outside the company, and the humiliation of those surreptitiously recorded.”

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/04/08/tesla-sued-employees-sharing-footage

    teh “genius” elmo, Tesla employees and the world at large can then bear close witness to kreepshit being serviced by its horse. Tasteless? Perhaps. Funnee? Fuck yeah!

    Cops don’t do what you think they do.

    Well, not when you cherry-pick.

    Then there are those who give all.

    2 police officers killed, suspect dead in shootout in Barron County, Wisconsin, DOJ says

    The shootout happened around 3:38 p.m. in the village of Cameron, about 95 miles east of Minneapolis, according to the Wisconsin Department of Justice.

    It began when an officer with the Chetek Police Department conducted a traffic stop, the DOJ said. During the traffic stop, gunfire was exchanged between someone in a vehicle and the responding officer or officers.

    Following the shooting, one Chetek Police Officer and one Cameron Police Officer were pronounced dead at the scene of the incident. The person who exchanged gunfire with law enforcement was brought to a hospital, where they died, according to the DOJ. No other specifics were released.

    Sorry, McHillbilly. But keep digging for the worst cops while the rest of them protect you and your family. It’s what we expect.

  94. 94

    Eric Adams’ finest picked themselves when they were too stupid to turn the phone off.

    And they revealed themselves in their own words, telling us all exactly who they are and how they do their jobs each day.

    And in 2022, for the third year in a row, COVID 19 remains the leading cause of death among American law enforcement employees.

    Turns out “FB friends from CO” are even more dangerous than “fleeing felons”.

  95. 95

    @93 Lacking specifics, and having to guess, I doubt “liberals must arm” had anything to do with this.

  96. 96

    95,

    At the very least Roger, you and I can say we never did or said anything that contributed to the death of a police officer.

    Shit-lord crybaby can’t.

  97. 97

    I doubt that bothers him. What does make him lose sleep is worrying the horse may reject his advances by kicking him in the head.

  98. 98

    God help us all if Biden touches any hair this morning during the Easter egg roll.
