Wednesday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 9/1/21, 7:56 am

Happy first day of school to Seattle, and first week of school for much of the rest of the region. Are you confident in the mask and vaccine requirements as a student, parent, or school employee? Are you a teacher hoping that the last year and a half of distance learning didn’t leave students unprepared?

Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated if you’re eligible.

    Because of course they did.

    Biden Administration Erased Afghan Weapons Reports From Federal Websites

    According to an admission obtained from the State Department, Biden officials recently directed federal agencies to scrub their websites of official reports detailing the $82.9 billion in military equipment and training provided to the Afghan security forces since 2001.

    The scrubbed audits and reports included detailed accounting of what the U.S. had provided to Afghan forces, down to the number of night vision devices, hand grenades, Black Hawk helicopters, and armored vehicles.

    Reports further quantified 208 aircraft and helicopters; 75,000 war vehicles – including 22 Humvees, 50,000 tactical vehicles and nearly 1,000 mine resistant vehicles; and 600,000 weapons – including 350,000 M4 and M16 rifles, 60,000 machine guns, and 25,000 grenade launchers.

    It was a staggering amount of weaponry. It’s gonna be a fuckin’ huge swap meet for terrorists.

    13 American soldiers are dead – most of them between the ages of 20-23 because they were put in harms way chaotically in the line of fire of a suicide bomber. Disappointed and disgusted President Biden says “this couldn’t have been done in a more orderly manner”.

    @ 3

    Leaving enough troops there to avoid the chaos we just saw is an easy answer, Newt.

    Or do you not recall that we had to rush 5,000 troops back into Afghanistan because the 1,000 +/- (remember Biden wanted it reduced to 600) weren’t enough to do the job? We wouldn’t have had to rush them back in had we not removed them before getting our citizens out.

    Had we left more troops in we could have had Bagram and KIA. Had we left more troops in we would have turned fewer still-functional weapons over to the Taliban.

    Newt, you know the Biden-Harris administration fucked this up, and bigly. It’s not that we left. It’s that we did it with such obvious incompetence, abandoned the UK and other allies that needed us to stay longer, and broke promises to so many people.

    I know you want to move on. It’s easier to do that if you admit it was a massive fuck-up, and then move on.

    @4 Sure, more troops but higher collateral damage trying to defend Bagram. Not such a simple answer as you think it is.

    Sure, Biden/Harris could have done better, so could Trump and the previous POTUSs. I’ve never claimed Biden did a great job.

    The one thing he did keep his word on was getting the US out of Afghanistan.

    The American citizens were warned, why didn’t they leave when they had a chance? They knew Trump signed a deal and knew the end was coming. Apparently they were not students of history because there is ALWAYS a vacuum when an invading nation retreats/withdraws.

    When will you admit it was a fuck-up to stay 20 years?
    When will you admit it was a fuck-up to stay past the initial mission goal of post-9/11 action?

    You are such a simpleton Burka Bob.

    Some New Hampshire polling news:

    1. Biden’s numbers are lower than Trump’s were last Fall.

    2. Each of the four polls published so far this year has Hassan losing to Sununu.

    “Governor Chris Sununu’s net job approval is beginning to narrow in this polarized environment,
    perhaps as Democratic voters begin to evaluate him as a challenger to Senator Hassan. From a net 45-
    point advantage in our pre-election poll last fall, Sununu now sits at a 30-point positive approval at 64%-
    34%. In a hypothetical U.S. Senate matchup against Hassan, Sununu currently enjoys a 49%-40% lead,
    up from 47%-41% in March. This margin is driven by the intensity disparity noted above: Sununu leads
    among Republican voters 89%-2%, while Democratic voters are a bit less intense for Hassan at 83%-11%;
    undeclared voters favor Sununu 50%-34%. It’s worth noting that while males favor Sununu by a wide
    55%-34% margin, he trails Hassan among women by only 2 points, 44%-46%.

    Sununu has a net 30 point positive, and Hassan sounds like a drone strike target.

    It’s early, but it’s not looking good for the Democrat incumbent should Sununu run.

    @ 19

    This is actually not the way you swagger if you are confident in retaking the majority.

    Reasons for GOP confidence in retaking the majority:

    1. History

    The president’s party loses an average of 25 House seats during the midterms. If the president’s approval is below 50%, make that 37 seats.

    2. Census results

    I’m going by memory but six EVs are expected to flip to red based on changes in population demographics over the last decade.

    3. Redistricting

    Republicans Won Almost Every Election Where Redistricting Was At Stake

    …Republicans are set to control the redistricting of 188 congressional seats — or 43 percent of the entire House of Representatives. By contrast, Democrats will control the redistricting of, at most, 73 seats, or 17 percent.

    4. The intangibles, like comments from congressional Democrat leaders about not wasting the opportunity to ram through spending massive amounts of money while they control the House, Senate, and White House. What’s the hurry, if 2022 is such a slam dunk for House Democrats?

    Midterms are 14 months away. This idiocy is old and tired – saw it in 2010 and 2014 with y’all HA libbies – but not unexpected. I can wait.

    Whether McCarthy becomes Speaker is far less clear.

    20,

    History – useless and unpersuasive in the absence of any electoral theory to both explain the phenomenon and to serve as the framework for strategy. There are two, competing and also complementary theories. Neither of which you appear to know.

    One, has to do with coattails – the reasoning being that a president elected in a huge landslide drags lots of weak members across the line only to leave them falling short two years later. You and your collective brain trust spend the six months following last November proclaiming that Biden has no coattails. And admittedly, Biden’s win though convincing and profound, was still relatively narrow. And Dems lost House seats.

    The other, sometimes called “presidential penalty” is nearer to current events in that it has to do with negative partisanship. Here the idea is that voters are lazy, disengaged, dumbfucks who only turn out to vote if/when they are “angry”. But you and the rest of team KILL HIM WITH HIS OWN GUN continue to do a fantastic job of keeping moderate voters scared out of their minds. Between the routine of performative white supremacy, assassination attempts, pipe bomb armies storming Congress to KILL KILL KILL KILL, and horse paste sucking lunatic governors shoveling bodies into mass graves, you’ve got their attention. You had it in 2018, when record midterm turnout was recorded and Dems pimped gerrymandered districts by expanding their 2016 margin by NINE points. That turns the theory on its head. Both theories, actually.

    Dems picked up seats in 2018 not because complacent trailer trash stayed home to shoot cans and arm fish, but because, while both parties saw increased turnout, the Dems grew their faster and by more. Remember Bobby? You denied this throughout 2017 and 2018, claiming that Democratic registrations were falling behind Rape Heros and Kiddie Diddlers. You and Roy Moore were wrong then too.

    Census Results This is an error of category. You are confusing increasing apportionment to certain states, with statewide election results. But House seats are not statewide elections. So whether one party has any advantage in winning these new seats will depend on where in each state the population grew, how those district lines are drawn, bearing in mind that they must be drawn with respect to population. Fastest growing county in Texas with the most new growth went for President Biden by 13 points.

    “I can wait.”
    So you say. And yet wait you do not. Nor does Kevin apparently.

    You have consistently and repeatedly declared your Republican Party wins in advance for years now. You declared that you would grow your House majority in 2018. You declared that you would win every special. You declared that Trump was assured of FOUR MORE YEARS. You declared that Arizona and Georgia would hold. More than anyone else posting here, you claim clairvoyant powers and certainty of future events. And more than anyone else posting here, you are wrong.

    I suspect this explains why you are so concerned about the prices of gasoline and fast food burgers. You really should just get a job. You appear to be going broke trying to predict the future.

    A perfect example of what I’m talking about is the case of Michelle Manhart.

    On April 17, 2015, some demonstrators protesting racism desecrated a U.S. flag. Manhart didn’t like that, and took the flag away from them. She refused to hand it over to police, and was arrested.

    Now, I’m a veteran, and I’m against desecrating the flag, which is a symbol of, among other things, the sacrifices made by our troops in defending our nation from its foreign and domestic enemies. I would never do that.

    The problem, though, is that (a) “flag desecration is free speech whether you like it or not,” and (b) the flag in question was private property that belonged to someone else, and she essentially stole it. (Which is why she was arrested for refusing to surrender it to the police, because they would have given it back to its rightful owners, as they’re required to do by law.)

    Now, a lot of people initially sympathized with Manhart, despite the illegality of her actions. Her heart was in the right place, right? She was standing up for patriotism and respect, right?

    All that sympathy evaporated when it turned out that Manhart was kicked out of the Air Force for desecrating the flag and getting paid for doing so.

    Specifically, she draped an American flag over her butt-naked body, with a substantial portion of the flag lying on the floor, and sold the pictures to Playboy magazine.

    Poof! went the force of her argument, gone in a smoky puff of self-righteous hypocrisy.

    The moral of this story is that if you want to sell outrage as a marketable commodity, you’d better not be outrageous yourself. If you’re against flag desecration on Friday, April 17, 2015, then you’d better not be desecrating the flag for profit on your days off from your military job.

    See what I mean?

    Now apply this to, say, Doctor Dumbfuck want to leave an American POW behind in Afghanistan. Or Erik Prince offering to fly people out of Afghanistan for $6,500. Or Trump throwing paper towels at U.S. citizens in Puerto Rico.

    Biden hasn’t done everything right. But Republicans are drowning in so much hypocrisy that no one can make out what they’re saying.

    All HA libbies who truly believe that Dems will hold the House in 2022, raise your hands.

    I do. Of course.

    But I’m not saying it’s guaranteed, or preordained, like Poor Bobby.

    The whole point of him responding to my post at 19 was to double down and get behind Kevin McCarthy and his threats. So both are making threats. And both are predicating their threats on the assumption of future triumph and power obtained from it. Remember when Poor Bobby used to issue warnings about overreach?

    It’s wired into them now. They can’t help it. They can’t keep their base engaged without pissing off or frightening moderate voters. And they can’t keep the money donors in line without threats of retribution.

    I don’t know of any Democrats at any level who are coasting in preparation for next year. The House agenda established this year speaks for itself. They are working much harder, more days, and longer hours than most of them ever have. Partly that’s to get the work done. But it’s also so they can spend more time campaigning and raising funds to hold their seats next year. But I’d sure be interested in hearing about it if any major Democratic Party leaders are issuing threats to industries and business donors.

    your raging orange man-baby’s releasing 5,000 Taliban to kill again

    Yes, this is true:

    PolitiFact wondered about Romney’s claim regarding the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners.

    Romney’s claim is correct. A February 2020 agreement between the Taliban and the Trump administration called for the release of 5,000 Taliban members who were in Afghan prisons. Afghanistan’s government has said that the 5,000 Taliban prisoners were released. A Congressional Research Service report said the release was completed in September 2020.

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/fact-check-did-trump-free-5000-taliban-prisoners-during-his-term/ar-AANZ5eZ

    The man who “understands [vulture] capitalism” said so and was fact-checked to be true.

    @36 The colonel is full of shit, which isn’t unusual for military officers, especially those who inject themselves into politics.

    Our government hasn’t abandoned the Americans still in Afghanistan. The only thing that ended was the airlift from Kabul airport.

    The Taliban cooperated with that airlift. They not only held their fire, they also helped Americans get to the airport. They may well have worked with our military to prevent ISIS attacks against our people. (They don’t like ISIS.)

    That cooperation was only good through Aug. 31. If our forces stayed longer, they would become enemies, subject to being shot at and taken prisoner.

    “[R]oughly 5,500 U.S. citizens … were airlifted out of the country” and “[t]he Biden administration believes between 100 and 200 Americans are still in Afghanistan who have ‘some intention to leave.'” So, they got most of them out, with the help of the Taliban, while that help lasted. They also airlifted out more than 120,000 Afghans.

    The best option for getting the remaining Americans out is to keep channels open, which they’re doing, and keep the airport open, which they did, and work the problem.

    Where the stupid colonel and you get it wrong is you both assume that military force is the only way to get them out. That’s likely to be the least successful way, and is sure to get some or a lot of them killed. You two have your heads up your asses, and should leave this to professionals who know what they’re doing.

    Moobs McScrote is pushing Quinnipiac @ 53. Let’s look at that poll, shall we? It ended August 21.

    First, DeSantis is rising in the state: From -11 to 2 in 13 months.

    On DeSantis’ overall job performance, voters are divided with 47 percent approving and 45 percent disapproving of the way he’s handling his job as governor. In July 2020, they gave him a negative 41 – 52 percent job approval rating.
    …
    Voters in Florida give President Joe Biden a negative 40 – 53 percent job approval rating.

    DeSantis is 2. First Vegetable Joe Biden is -13.

    Second, Don’t Worry Be Happy is far better in Florida.

    A majority of voters (57 percent) say they are either very satisfied (30 percent) or somewhat satisfied (27 percent) with the way things are going in Florida today.

    Third, it’s Rubio a third time, y’all.

    Senator Marco Rubio receives a positive approval rating, as 49 percent approve, 38 percent disapprove, and 13 percent did not offer an opinion.
    …
    When it comes to Marco Rubio, voters say 47 – 41 percent that he deserves to be reelected

    I was thinking about Texas this afternoon. All the population growth is in the cities — Dallas, Houston. Lot of companies have moved there, bringing tech workers. Criminals and mentally ill people can openly carry guns. When their wives and daughters are raped, they’ll have to either support the rapist’s child or pay a bounty to the rapist and reimburse his legal expenses incurred contesting the abortion. They might even have to pay child support to the rapist.

    They’ll be living in a state run by a rural Taliban who, although vastly outnumbered by city dwellers, can’t be voted out of office because city dwellers aren’t allowed to vote.

    And before I forget, when highly educated and highly skilled tech workers move to Texas with their families and buy new homes, they won’t be able to sue the builder for construction defects. Should the ceilings disintegrate from leaking pipes, or the siding rot from mold, they must submit their claims to an arbitration board run by the builders association. State law requires the homebuyer to let the builder responsible for the defects make the repairs.

    Now, this may just be my imagination running wild, but I wonder if maybe tech companies moving to Texas will have trouble recruiting highly educated, highly skilled tech workers because nobody wants to live in a place like that?

    When a place gets a reputation, it takes a long time to recover. Some places never recover. Mississippi and Alabama, for example. Texas is getting quite a reputation.

    What entity is most likely to litigate for invalidation of the TX abortion law?

    All of them.

    A question like this belies any presumption that Poor Bobby even pays attention to whatever he’s been reading. I mean, sure he can spot the “triggers” and then performatively copy-pasta a comment with a link. But I think there’s a good chance he doesn’t have a fucking clue what’s really going on around him. Dementia? Stoopid? Indifferent is probably more like it.

    I believe the Texas law will fairly rapidly unleash a court-clogging shitshow of vexatious litigation. As I write this thousands of out of state lawyers are filing their Texas ATLAS applications and downloading the Texas Law Component study materials to obtain reciprocal bar admission. In the last few years we’ve seen a cottage industry arise of lawyers and plaintiffs essentially throwing away good money and professional legal standing in order to cash in on the fame, notoriety, and media celebrity arising from frivolous lawsuits over controversial issues or personalities.

    People like Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, and even Rudy Giuliani had significant practices and associated businesses with reputable and wealthy clients. But they saw something better and threw all that away to grab their slice. A shithead like Avenatti might have gone on like he was for decades more if he’d just stayed in his lane. And sad to say there is no shortage of other lawyers just like him out there.

    Texas offers them all a nearly risk free path to Trumpaloompa fame and glory.
    Of course they are going to take it. Thousands of them will. It’s a land rush for the last scraps of klownservitude debit card clicks and “warrior commentator” engagements. All over America these asshole graduates of bottom tier diploma mills are selling their Trans Ams, breaking their office leases, putting their “Divorced Dad” condos on AirBnB and heading to Austin. The local Walgreens had better order in extra Rogaine and dick pills.

    And the best part is there’s no need for competition. Under this law you can sue anybody from anywhere. 100% risk free. All you need is a plaintiff with standing. You can choose your defendant almost at random. But the smarter ones will choose defendants based on their political identity – anything “left”.

    The whole thing is obviously highly flawed. And likely to be destined for failure under the weight of those flaws. But not before it doles out a ton of very flagrant and politically compelling suffering upon some very vulnerable people.

    Labor Day weekend ferry reservations shut down in Washington ahead of expected employee sickout

    Sickouts are expected on all ferry routes by ferry workers who are opposed to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate requiring state employees, health care employees and K-12 employees to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 18.

    In response to the potential protest, the state ferry system has shut down ferry reservations for the weekend.

    “We’re very concerned about some disruption due to staffing, just not having enough people to operate the boats,” said Washington State Ferries (WSF) spokesman Ian Sterling.

    A widespread ferry protest could temporarily sink a system already treading water. The ferries are already short-staffed, and there is a global shortage of maritime workers.

    Aside from its enormous impact on fund raising, organizing, and turnout next year, the Texas Abortion Bounty law may have some more immediate impacts on The Court itself.

    Roberts breaking with the conservative majority is certainly not without precedent. But the way in which this break unfolded has the potential to create a more enduring shift in Roberts himself. Whatever antipathy Roberts may have for Roe, it seems his antipathy toward this Texas Shitshow of a statute surpasses it. And despite the obvious and glaring flaws not only in the law itself, but the intent of the statute to defy the courts, none of his fellow “conservatives” were willing to consider the compromises he tried to broker.

    He doesn’t come across as thin-skinned and fragile the way Thomas and Kavanaugh obviously do. And I don’t see him as having a chip on his shoulder. But he carves out a very clear path as far as how he thinks The Court’s deliberations should be conducted and how the reputation and legitimacy of The Court should be protected. This is a pretty crude challenge to that.

    “President Biden acknowledged … there are Americans who have been left behind, but claimed that his administration has been warning those individuals ‘as far back as March.'”

    “‘After we started the evacuation 17 days ago, we did initial outreach and analysis and identified around 5,000 Americans who had decided earlier to stay in Afghanistan but now wanted to leave,’ Biden explained, saying the mission was able to evacuate 5,500 Americans out of Afghanistan.”

    “‘We believe that about 100 to 200 Americans remain in Afghanistan with some intention to leave,’ Biden said. ‘Most of those who remain are dual citizens, long-time residents, but earlier decided to stay because of their family roots in Afghanistan.'”

    A white unmarked Ford van with its exterior lights blacked out sped down a darkened Lake Street in Minneapolis, late at night in the vicinity of demonstrations, five days after the murder of George Floyd. As the van reached the intersection of 17th and Lake Street it veered toward a small group of people gathered just outside of a late night gas station convenience store. As the van drew near, without warning the side door slid open, the windows rolled down, and a hail of bullets descended on the gas station owner, his family, and a group of neighbors gathered there to dissuade looters. As those gathered dove for cover and rolled away one among them, an Army veteran named Jaleel Stallings who was legally armed with a small semi automatic pistol, returned fire. He deliberately aimed low, and toward the front of the van hoping to disable the vehicle.

    Suddenly the van stopped and out of it poured a half dozen MPD swat team officers. Seeing that they were police, Stallings quickly dropped his weapon and lay face down on the pavement with his arms fully extended to either side and his palms facing up. He was beaten severely for over ten minutes with both eye sockets ruptured, broken teeth, a concussion, severe lacerations with profuse bleeding to his scalp, dozens of contusions to his torso, and two cracked ribs.

    The Hennepin County Prosecutor charged Stallings with two counts of attempted second-degree intentional, non-premeditated murder, two counts of first-degree assault, deadly force against police officers, two counts of second-degree assault, use of a dangerous weapon, one count of second-degree rioting and one count of intentional discharge of a firearm.

    Republicans and FOX News called him a “would-be cop killer”.

    Stallings was acquitted on all charges in July.

    Because of course the police lied about all of it.

    They lied when they said their van was “marked”. They lied when they denied their own efforts to conceal their identity as police officers. They lied when they said they did not open fire unprovoked. They lied when they said they identified themselves before the shooting started. They lied when they said Stallings resisted arrest. They lied about how long or how severely they beat Stallings.

    And the two hours of body cam video MPD tried first to destroy and then later to withhold proved that they were lying about all of it. The BWC proved that the attack on the gas station by MPD was planned. The BWC proved that MPD opened fire unprovoked and unannounced. And the BWC proved that Stallings never resisted arrest.

    They are all still police. They were commanded to do it by senior unit commanders. They were told to target “the blacks”. They are all still SWAT. Nobody has been disciplined. There has been no investigation of their conduct by the MPD.

    At trial Stallings said he opened fire to defend himself. He said he had heard reports, including one from Mayor Frye, of white supremacists from outside the city who had come into Minneapolis to hunt for African Americans. He said he believed that the police who were shooting at him from a darkened unmarked van were those white supremacists.

    Turns out he was right.

    What a fucking disaster.

    “Within that last 12 hours, I had four buses of American citizens outside the gate,” he said. “They were mostly pregnant women and babies, including a child with spina bifida, just all packed together waiting at the gate.”

    Myers said his team paid off the Taliban with a big bribe to allow their buses to go through. “They got to the gate, and there was an aid organization that was supposed to meet us with representatives, with the rosters, and to tell the Taliban to expect them.”

    The aid organization didn’t show up.

    “I, in panic mode, called, and called, and called all my Marine networks, I got the number for one of the top commanders down there explained the situation and we got in a big argument when he told me the Taliban makes the calls down here,” said Myers.

    They never got out.
