Johnson pulled strings to get Trump into Arlington — and now the scandal is spreading

The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States–Taliban_deal which was entirely negotiated and ratified by the Trump administration 🙄

Donald Trump is not a smart man. He didn't become the threat that he is due to his own skilful manoeuvring. He became a threat because the institutions that are supposed to oppose people like him have failed.

Now that, for the first time in his political career, he's up against an opponent with basic competence he can't do anything other than flail impotently.

Even if it worked, that's just more hypocritical nonsense.

"Biden messed up, these 13 Americans are dead. Not quite as many people as I killed by messing up a pandemic response, or by blowing the cover of American spies, but if I get in office again I'm sure my decisions will kill a lot more people. What were we talking about again?"

literal Isis

You mean the Taliban's plan, the US negotiated the withdrawal with the Taliban.

Here's the thing, a weak Democrat candidate meant the GOP could ride the curtail of a natural red wave born from voter dissatisfaction into another Trump presidency. They didn't have to try faced with Biden so they didn't have as many opportunities to show their incompetence.

Now democrats have rallied and the writing is on the wall that Trump isn't good enough just by the virtue of being the republican choice. He actually has to try, which he hasn't done since 2016, and he's pretty bad at trying.

Support the Troops was only a catchy political slogan.

It was the whole. Family porn tracking app thing that skeeved me the fuck out.

Imagine being the secret service IT guy who has to build a firewall around that creepy fuck's wank bank for National Security interests.

It has a sort of "I raped your cat but you can't prove it" energy.

He reminds me a lot of Michael Gove

Obligatory Gove clapping gif

He does have the face of someone who's shat themselves and can't figure out how to get up and leave the room without everyone knowing.

Pretty sure it's the University of Texas' A&M university's "hook 'em" sign.

Not seeing that. Share.

Is Jack at least still cool?

They love the troops like they love women: things to be talked about, controlled and used as you see fit, then thrown away and never thought of again (until there's a scandal anyway).
