Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
Does congress work better when there is a 50-50 split?
Seems like Manchin (a moderate D) is able to reign in the most ambitious Dems much like Romney/McCain did 4 years ago. As long as each side has a few moderates that wont bend thy knee and can take hate from their own party, it seems like this is working. Manchin. McCain, Romney, Kasich .. these are guys I wish were presidents. Although they may have been more impactful right where they are. |

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
No you are right SS there are good things in there. I am not a fan of privatizing public infrastructure. Hush yo mouth about Manchin and wishing he was a President.
Any hoo switching gears. Roberta Kaplan the chairwoman for Time's Up an advocacy group that claims to support women victims of sexual harassment, but actually did a good job of defending Gov. Cuomo, resigned. She was pretty integral in attacking some of his accusers. Here is her resignation letter: https://int.nyt.com/data/documenttoo...86f99/full.pdf The first sentence of the second paragraph is ironic she is talking about Cuomo but it should be about her. |

Atlanta mom says school ‘segregated’ daughter into black-only classes: lawsuit Segregation is now acceptable to retards. So everyone in the school was ok with this…no one spoke up? Who thinks this is acceptable?

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
So far under Biden,
Putin gets a strategic/economic win pipeline, Mexico gets an open border, and the Taliban gets Afghanistan Meanwhile, Americans get higher prices on everything, the delta variant, more crime and segregation in our schools Sad

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
We need a Fresh Start Squared thread that we can all ruin immediately, before it gets to page 2.

Fresh Start Political Thread
“Had our 2020 Presidential election not been rigged and if I were now president, the world would find that our withdrawal from Afghanistan would be a conditions-based withdrawal. I personally had discussions with top Taliban leaders whereby they understood what they are doing now would not have been acceptable. It would have been a much different and much more successful withdrawal, and the Taliban understood that much better than anyone.”
Trumps statement on Bidens move. Laughable. Basically what he wants all his sheep to believe (and they will) Is he told those bad guys what was going on and the very smart taliban would have said yes Donald we promise we will work well with others for peace and prosperity for all after the American troops are gone. Ok. Trump wanted the withdrawal so bad. It would have been celebrated in the Rose Garden, and there would have been talk of a nobel peace prize. The guy who slaughtered the Kurds is just irate about this? There was really never going to be an easy way out of Afghanistan. The majority of their people and government doesn’t give a fuck. It is a terrible situation but please Donald Trump just STFU about how the Taliban would have never moved on these territories because you spoke to them. What a fuckin idiot. |

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
Pompeo said that while Trump had planned on pulling out of Afghanistan, he would not have allowed the Taliban to take over. He said that the deal that the Trump administration had reached with the Taliban called for "a conditions-based withdrawal" and allowed the U.S. to take action if necessary.
Jesus Christ doubling down on the fact that the Taliban is operating on the honor code. LOL. You cannot make a deal with the fucking Taliban. The only way out would be if the Afghanistans finally stood up and fought. We trained them for 20 fucking years for this. How is that too soon?!?!? |

Yes. No doubt. My point was we seemingly have to stay forever. This would happen ten years ago or 100 years from now. Its a terrible situation. Just do not see how we ever get rid of the filth which is the taliban or any other terrorists over there. If there were not riches of minerals we wouldn’t even be there anyway…. |
