“Whatever one thinks of President Biden’s decision to withdraw from Afghanistan, it has left the United States with few options in the Hindu Kush. The Biden administration is likely trying to exacerbate tensions between Haqqani and Taliban leader Haibitullah Akhanzada. But that’s a dangerous game to play with Siraj.”

Will, I couldn’t agree with you more, yet I hope you’re wrong about Biden coddling the Haqqani Network. This would definitely be a slap in the face of every gold star family; no different than the surrender agreement, or DOHA Agreement that released over 5,800 hardcore Taliban and Al Qaeda with American blood on their hands.
And we can thank the same man who betrayed our best allies in the region; the Kurds, who were our main proxies, responsible for destroying ISIL in Syria, with a small US budget, and only 2,500 SF’s troops in support.
As for cheap shots? Yes, religion is great; especially the evangelicals like Mike Johnson, second in line to the presidency; a man who believes that the earth is six thousand years old, and dinosaurs roamed the earth with man. What could possibly go wrong?
That said, I also pray for Trump; that he chokes on a chicken bone from KFC, or has a debilitating stroke from eating too much Taco Bell. Is that soooo wrong????..:)
It wasn't Biden's decision to withdraw from Afghanistan, that was negotiated and set in place by the Trump Administration.
And a lot of Americans wanted out of there as well, they were/are just unhappy with the shitshow it was... but aren't most American withdrawals like that shitshows at one level or another (thinking of Viet Nam, in particular).
I wish I felt more guilty for wishing that Trump would die. I think all the time about how great it would have been for the country if he'd died of COVID.
I told a friend yesterday that I sin daily in my hatred for Trump. It’s singular in my life to loathe another person this much for this long. A Covid death would have been so apt. Ah well.
Don’t think of it as hatred; more like contempt and apathy. I personally don’t believe in vengeance or revenge for the simple reason that if you seek revenge, you’ve already lost the battle (someone got in your head).
And I really don’t wish anyone ill will, even upon my worst enemies, because they can only hurt you if let them in your head. So never let someone in your head or get to you.
In this case; however, Trump leads a very violent group; including the most corrupt and unscrupulous people you will ever meet. The criminally insane, and mentally ill. Not to mention, every religious wing-nut, white supremacist group, right-wing militia’s, and every Qanon conspiracy whack job in the country. These people collectively are dangerous, but even more so with Trump as their leader, because without Trump, the movement will collapse under its own weight.
And these people have threatened and carried out threats, including doxing, Swatting, breaking in to politicians home (Pelosi) and almost killing her husband. As well as so many other acts of violence, that I’ve lost count.
The bottom line is Trump isn’t nearly the idiot we pretend he is. He just doesn’t care about anyone but himself, and will burn down the house with all of us inside if it will help him keep his freedom, enrich himself and help him exact revenge on every soul he deems treasonous, both real and perceived.
Bottom line: people will die, get hurt, lose their freedoms (women and the LGBTQ community), with not a pittance of sympathy for the people he kills, jails, hurts, or are destroyed in the process.
You know, I’ve never forgiven the Philadelphia Eagles for hiring Michael Vick after he served time for running a dog fighting ring. Apparently I have room in my heart for more than one hatred.
I'm with you, Sherri. I also make a point of crapping all over Tyreek Hill whenever I'm forced to watch the Dolphins. I'm just glad I don't have to root against the Chiefs anymore for keeping that child abuser on the team just because he can run.
That's some sick shiz, man. I seriously can't believe how cruel people can be sometimes.
There's a dog rescue in Memphis that saved a 3 month old pit bull puppy with a severely broken jaw and facial fractures from being a bait puppy. Now that sweet baby girl is thriving, and I have a quest for vengeance.
I don’t feel a bit guilty. Ask yourself whether we will be better off or worse off; the answer is easy. Just think of all the lives you’d save, and misery avoided…:)
That's why I wish I felt more guilty -- I don't feel guilty at all and I feel like I should 😂
Pence would have been fine for 3 months. Alas -- the scum sucker recovered because of miracle drugs and then tried to overturn the government that saved his worthless life.

I didn’t say Biden negotiated the deal. I was speaking of Trump, who also betrayed the Kurds…:)

I honestly don't think I understood hatred for another human until I "knew" Trump.
I also recently learned about bait puppies in dog fighting. That was the first time I wanted to be a vengeance style super hero.

My point: save your tears for someone worthy…:)

They use kittens too. My friend has one that was recused from a pit bull breeder.

People can be disgusting and sick. I just imagine they are trump fans.
Special place in hell
I agree.
You're so right.

I’ve always felt harboring hatred hurts me while having no effect on the object of my hatred, but exceptions prove the rule.
I agree with your sentiment. In this case its not hatred; just contempt and apathy. He’s not worth hating…:)
