Obviously need a new version of this thread, as even if he doesn't make a political comeback, he's living rent-free in all of our heads for the next few years. I failed to spot the statement he put out the other week on the performance of the US Women's Football team at the Olympics.
So Presidential.

Oh so apparently, yesterday saw the day come and go that the qanon rubes had set in stone (again) as the day trumpy would be reinstated.
I dunno, I really have to hand it to them. A lesser man would have walked away by this point, but these guys just keep hanging on to their fascist overlord dream. Bless em.

Mike Lindell's much hyped CYBERSYMPOSIUM that was meant to prove that china had hacked the election but boiled down to him scrolling through random files with a hex editor, excitedly pointing at meaningless strings of characters. He then proceeded to have a melt down. And Dominion are suing him for defamation.
Fav soundbite from a qanon who was there: "Well the guy makes a fantastic pillow, but, er. This just wasn't well put together."

Donald Trump is unquestionably a ginger cunt a total sociopathic degenerat, but he's almost saintly compared to Joe Biden. An extra 12 billion to spend on the military pulls out of Afghanistan leaves 10s of thousands to be slaughtered.Think of all those females encouraged to get educated God knows what will happen to them. He's now dropping bombs in Somalia one of the poorest countries in the world. At least the bad man isn't saying mean things on twitter anymore.

There is no way on Earth that Biden is anything other than a fuckton better than Trump. It's nice to be able to go through a day without wondering whether the most powerful man in the world has tweeted that he's going to nuke Chile, because he had a bad burrito for lunch.
But Biden... eh... hard to say. I get that he had no good options, but I think his decision on Afghanistan might end up defining his presidency - and not in a good way.

It was Trump who first told the Taliban that the US would leave by May, not Biden. The mess the Americans got themselves into started 20 years ago and has cost $1trillion and thousands of casualties. The American populace are on the whole sick of it and want out. I'm not sure how inheriting that mess makes Biden somehow worse than that orange blimp.

Typical right wing shite pretending to care about womens rights all of a sudden. And caring about what happens to muslims? Yeah, course they do. Get the fuck out of here with that disingenuous bollocks.

I'm far from right wing. In fact I'm a member of my countries left wing party. Why would me telling the truth about people being slaughtered by right wing governments give you that idea. I've lived with imperialism my whole life seen my people be subjected to bigotry and murdered since the day I was born.

I'm just not into the whole lesser of two evils shite the US has been murdering innocent people since the end of WW2. Jimmy Carter is probably the only actual human being to be president in 60 years.

Thats insane and bullshit the trump cultists on reddit are blaming biden for the pull out but it was trump government that negotiated the awful peace deal (which the Taliban pigs never kept to) Pulling out of the country was bad idea as the taliban have retaken the countries in weeks due to the security forces running away and selling their weapons to the taliban

So... if he takes the military out of a country, he is wrong. But if he involves the military in another country, he is also wrong? Like, I understand that American presidents (Biden included) are usually pretty terrible on the "don't drop bombs on people" foreign policy front. But at least Biden is terrible in a normal way. The other guy literally asked one of his advisors "WELL WHY CAN'T WE JUST NUKE PEOPLE?", and it's only really through luck that he never got the excuse to try. Anyway, I support questioning Biden's choices; not enough people here do. But in the case of Afghanistan, it's fucked either way. It's a really hard question, which is often the case with foreign policy.

At least there is scope to question Biden’s choices because they at least have some basis in rationality. With Trump there were very few open to question.

It's a total bi-partisan issue but I suppose we could go further back and talk to those fine people Bush, Blair et al.

There was brave special forces that fought to the end and taliban pigs murdered them when they were forced to surrender

What credit though? T for nice try?
I'm not too happy to see the rise of Gilead in any corner of the world, but I also hope this serves as proof that you simply cannot force stuff onto a country far far away.

The taliban is nothing but incel group

Yeah, it really sucks. But... it's not our country. We have some responsibility for how things turned out, and hopefully we can find some way to still help people in danger, but it's been 20 years ffs. Their government is incompetent and fucked, and that's not all on us.
I understand the commentators here who are upset about it, but they're not the ones who have to make decisions. And from what I could tell, their only alternative to what's happening now was "stay forever". In reality, we lost years and years ago; this is just confirming what we knew all along.

Maybe saying Trump will look like a Saint compared to Biden was hyperbolic nonsense. I'm just worried people's hate for him will give Biden a free pass when he'll do evil shit not as transparent as Trump. Afghanistan is undoubtedly a no win for anyone but the way they pulled out leaving all those weapons wasn't cool maybe it wouldn't have made a difference. Sidenote in all the push back I got Somalia was glazed over.

A lot depends on what the USA foreign policy is in the next 3 years. Trump only craved adulation, which dictators were happy to provide because it was free to them but resulted in a lightening of sanctions.
If the dronestrikes start back up and troops get launched somewhere under Biden it will not look so good.

With regards to Afghanistan, the US spent 2.26 trillion dollars on it. That’s 300 million dollars every day for twenty years.
70% of American voters wanted America out of Afghanistan. It had overwhelming bipartisan support from the public. Perhaps seeing the result of it will make a bunch of people say they actually didn’t want it, or could have done it but better, but the fact is, they didn’t do it. Trump made a big deal out of pulling out, and had four years, but he didn’t do it. He DID draw down numbers from 15,000 to 2500, and he DID negotiate directly with The Taliban without bothering to involve the Afghan government, which is fucking stunning but that’s Trump every day.
Because Bush Junior spilt America’s focus between Afghanistan and Iraq, they basically failed to finish the job and The Taliban have spent decades recruiting the local incels with promises of forced marriage once they have guns at everyone’s heads.
What the US should have done is train and arm all the women.
