R.I.P. Democracy. We sent a 90-year old man into battle.

Anyone who is informed by honest sources knows exactly who surrendered to the Taliban.  Trump.  He was so dumb as to even tell them how quickly the Americans would get out.  Ignored the Generals who said we could not get out that fast.  Anyone who is not educated by anti-American extremists knows this.

And knows that Trump then said he was smarter than the Generals.  Another fact that gets ignored when extremist lies are somehow honesty.

Biden then got an extension from the Taliban.  Because the military needed time to sabotage something approaching $1 billion of military equipment - helicopter, tanks, munitions, etc.  Taliban said that is it.  No more extensions.  Or thousands of American soldiers would be taken prisoner.  We never expected the Afghan army to collapse even faster than the South Vietnamese army.  It turned into a rout.

I just read about a new company trying to grow into a major defense contractor.  They need Chinooks for their product development.  Britain finally offered to sell them one. They are talking to the Taliban. Who have many such aircraft.  Thanks to the dumbass Trump.  Praised by extremists who somehow know.  But forget to first learn facts.

Nixon also surrendered to N Vietnam.  Then Ford got stuck with a resulting disaster.  Many extremists also forget that.  Because Nixon was their baby.  He also could do no wrong.  Because he lied constantly.  We are supposed to learn from history.

I watched the first hour and both men appeared as I expected they would.
Trump spewing whatever came to mind, mostly lies, like a carnival barker.
Biden slower, more thoughtful, mostly truthful, stumbling on a couple words as most people who stutter do.
The next day the press and pundits were screaming about Biden's failure.
I guess the people never listened to their grandparents. 
Wisdom comes slowly and is dispensed slowly. Bullshit comes in torrents.
The Klan will rise again, women will be subjected to cradle to grave control. Children will be taught myths. The end is neigh.
 

Trump was obnoxious, dishonest, crass and crude. He knows what his people like.

Four years just to start undoing his messes.  Even inflation is directly traceable to the scumbag who recreated tax cuts for the rich.  1% now own over 50% of American.  Are even creating inflations by buying up homes; turning them into rentals.  Now an increasing number of good Americans must have two jobs to pay increasing rents and mortgages.

The Gini index has gone up destructively.  Enriching the rich.  Worse, the people most hurt by Trumps lies also like him.  Apparently they love being screwed - as it that is good sex.

The most brainwashed say it is good.  Trump's tweets said so.  It must be true.


MAGA - make America godawful again.  No problem.  He is smarter than the generals.  He said so.  It must be true.  He would not lie.
