When it's a school shooting it's the nra and the politicians, when the whole city is a shit hole it's systemic racism and poverty. When people invade the whitehouse it's Trump, when people burn down cities it's justified anger. We get it you use every crises as a tool to get what you want regardless of facts, rights and free will.

Yep. So, according to their rules, this time the blood is on the hands of the military hating racist Joe Biden.

Where are examples of Biden hating the military? Did he call them Suckers and Losers? Did he fake bone spurs to get out of serving? Did he fail to get them out of Afghanistan in 4 years?
Oops. That was the orange turd. And does saying Joe is racist make you feel better about Dump being racist?
It must be difficult to process with some people's brains that two facts can be true at the same time.

Let see. He called us (military) stupid bastards and it’s on video. Nothing exists of trump calling anyone losers and suckers.

Biden has more draft deferments than Trump, Biden’s deferments were all for being a student, until his last one where he claimed a medical deferment for asthma. If that were truly the case, he’d have claimed a medical deferment the very first time. Yet, the guy was a able to be a lifeguard (the Corn-pop incident took place after his medical deferment) and play college football. In fact, yesterday he said he would have joined the military but chose football instead.

Yeah, Joe got us out of Afghanistan. Did you see the mess it has created? Obviously not. The marines killed? The Taliban rearming themselves with our equipment. Perhaps you forgot the footage of Afghanis falling out of the sky as they attempted to hang on to airplane as they took off.

Racist Joe made fun of people with Indian accents, said bussing would lead to a racial jungle. Called Obama the first bright, clean and articulate black man. Said you weren’t black if you didn’t vote for him. Said poor kids were just as smart as white kids. Eulogized a former member of the KKK and said he was his mentor. He worked with segregationist senators to oppose mandatory busing, which decades later led to the strongest moment in Kamala Harris’s campaign for president, when she blasted him as having personally impacted her as a young girl.

In all fairness, he did not want to get that crusted thing on his puny head wet, which looks like it's been to a few fronts itself.

From McCain to Mattis to Meuller to Khan to Allen to Johnson to the Aisne-Marne to his own son wanting to sign up and a whole mess in betweem, there's plenty to attest to Trump REPEATEDLY calling AMERICAN SOLDIERS, losers and suckers, amongst other things all with tongue curled disdain.

Two decades fighting a war in Afghanistan, only for this wannabe dictator of a creature to sign it over to the very enemy those SOLDIERS FOUGHT.
No soldiers at the Iraq barracks hit by Iran, then it was just headaches, then it was just some brain damage. Wonder how many years till we here how many died that night. And then he cuts n runs out of the war he had been false flagging years for quicker that you can say Ronny (the Raygun) or even Bill (that's Hillareee's hubby).
Disgusting.

I just can't understand how you guys just ignore overwhelming facts time and time again for this blatantly obvious con man. Dude's done dozens of things to disrespect military

The John McCain / POW attacks.

Denying the severe brain injuries from the Jan 8 Iran missile attack.

About Afghanistan - Yes, I agree the loss of the 13 lives was tragic.
From 2017-2020, 14, 14, 21, 11 troops were lost, it unfortunately follows a pattern.
There's no good answer. So do we stay there 20 more years?

Mr. "Art of the deal" screwed up the leverage the negotiators had:

https://www.npr.org/2021/03/04/973604904/trumps-deal-to-end-war-in-afghanistan-leaves-biden-with-a-terrible-situation

GROSS: Trump had way - has a way of defying norms, breaking conventions. Did he defy norms and conventions when he - when his administration negotiated this deal?

FILKINS: Well, they did. They did, for sure - for sure. I mean, the first - the most obvious thing about this agreement is that the Afghan government was left out of it. And, I mean, the reasons for that are kind of complicated, but essentially, you know, the U.S. was - they were negotiating with the Taliban about whether or not to remove their troops, not with the Afghan government, which is hosting the troops.

And, of course, the Taliban, the guys they're sitting across from at the table - you know, these guys were deemed terrorists, you know? And they - these are the guys that gave sanctuary to Osama bin Laden before the 9/11 attacks. And so these are people that we didn't even acknowledge. We didn't acknowledge their legitimacy. And, you know, we're actively trying to kill them. And now we're sitting across the table from them.

And the other thing that was very pretty unconventional about the way that this negotiation happened was the U.S. diplomats are trying to negotiate a kind of a schedule for a withdrawal. And, you know, there's a certain amount of bluffing involved, which is if we don't get the deal we want, we're not going to pull out. But while they were doing that over the course of 2019 and early 2020, President Trump was just kind of unilaterally announcing these troop withdrawals. I'm going to pull everybody out, or I'm going to - we're going to go down to 7,000 troops starting now. And he didn't consult anybody and didn't even necessarily tell his negotiators that he was doing that. So he was like literally kind of taking their sticks away from them at the table as they were doing this.

Ran out of room in the last reply. Yes, Biden is racist, I just said that. Does that make Trump less racist? You're right about Biden dodging the draft. Clinton and Bush did too. They are all garbage IMO. Don't assume because I hate Dump that I like Biden, he sucks.

You guys act like Biden made every single decision regarding in the pullout.
There was an entire military command structure already there before the transition.
He didn't come in and just fire everyone and start over just to f**k everything up.
He doesn't hire a cabinet staff and generals, brag about how he always finds the best people, just to fire them and throw them under the bus after they stop agreeing with him like the previous guy.
You act surprised that the Taliban did Taliban shit?

Are you guys ever honest with yourselves?
Or is it just "We're against everything anyone with a "D" next to their name does for life"?

What if retrieving more of our equipment cost us additional lives?
How much $ is one life worth? Or 5 lives? 100 lives?
Every decision has consequences, intended and unintended.
Looks like some of it is going to Ukraine. That's a small silver lining.

Someone I know who worked on Helicopters in the Army says that they stuff left behind was junk.
Don't know for sure. People lie.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/27/politics/afghan-weapons-left-behind/index.html

The Department of Defense was required to submit a report to Congress "regarding the disposition of United States property, equipment and supplies provided to" Afghan forces that "were destroyed, taken out of" or "remain in Afghanistan," states the report, which is dated March 2022.

"The $7.12 billion figure cited in the Department's recent report to Congress corresponds to ANDSF equipment and not U.S. military equipment used by our forces," Army Major Rob Lodewick, a Defense Department spokesperson, said in a statement. "Nearly all equipment used by U.S. military forces in Afghanistan was either retrograded or destroyed prior to our withdrawal and is not part of the '$7.12 billion' figure cited in the report."

Most of this country seems to be A-OK with writing the military a blank check every year. Corporations profiting massively from this. Nobody asks "how are we going to pay for it?"
So of course they are going to waste the shit out of it.

The Afghanis falling off of the plane taking off, yeah I saw it.
Just evidence of how bad their lives are.
20 years didn't fix it.

“Don't assume because I hate Dump that I like Biden, he sucks. You guys act like Biden made every single decision regarding in the pullout.”

You’re hilarious, troll. And for the record, I agree that what Trump said about John McCain was disgusting. But don’t think for a minute that I believe you are defending JM. You are capitalizing on it.

Pure coincidence the troll needed to make another new account... LOL

I'm stating that the failed disgraced former President was a pathological lying POS and disrespected the military and POWs. I like that McCain made some progress on campaign finance reform. Only for SCOTUS to blow that up in 2010. What you believe is mostly inconsequential to me. How am I trolling?

Because you won’t admit that Biden was a dodge-drafting, military hating racist. That’s why. I said Trump was wrong. You? You can’t find fault, at all, with the bumbling racist moron that is Joe Biden.

Dude, are you ok? You might want to get your eyes checked:

<<< Yes, Biden is racist, I just said that.

<<< You're right about Biden dodging the draft.

In addition to sabotaging the military equipment left behind not for use by the Afghan military that we created and armed, it was also pretty complicated machinery, requiring a lot of know-how and training to operate, plus difficult and expensive to maintain, utilizing parts not exactly off the shelf at AutoZone,,,

"Shit hole cities" can be attributed to low standard of living: Companies moving jobs overseas and to Mexico, supported by 5 decades of Republicans, hey you gotta keep that bottom line as high as possible! Poor health care, poor education. Less and less resources in the community. Housing out of control from Gentrification. Poverty leads to desperation and guess what? Crime. You don't have as much crime in rural North Dakota because guess why? Nobody effing lives there!

See there you are excusing criminals and blaming Republicans lol. Who do you think runs these cities? As for moving jobs over seas I'm pretty sure both sides supported the whole free trade nonsense and both pocket money from corporations.

Poor education, whose fault do you think that is? It's damn bleeding heart compassion that leads to kid gloves and ghetto beat the smart kid nonsense. In Asia they beat up the dumb kids and post performance so people have incentive. You can throw all the money you want at whiny teachers and crap schools and it won't make a difference. Again we have a culture issue and the system is unwilling to get its hands dirty.

Now I do agree universal healthcare would generally help everything about society and we could use some controls to deal with the insane rental landlord society we are becoming like escalated land taxes.

Almost all of the problems in this country (spilling over into the ROW) are caused by unregulated Crony Capitalism.

Corporations move our job to overseas and Mexico to exploit Slave Labor.

They park Trillions of dollars in tax shelters.

They lobby the govt to deregulate everything.
Gutted Anti-trust regulations allowed most of the products we depend on to be distributed by only a handful of companies and easily price fixed, AND they f**ked up our Supply Chain with decreased inventories and "just in time" supply strategies.

They bust up Labor Unions to keep you subjected to shittier pay, benefits, and conditions.

Wall Street jacks up Energy prices and they make money whether the costs go up or down, from the volatility. Destroying our consumer price index.

Stock buybacks to enrich their own Shareholders and CEOs, instead of:
Investing in the Workers Pay and Benefits.
Improving procedures and safety systems to decrease the chance of supply chain disruptions.
Investing in manufacturing HERE instead of CHINA.

They make money the more inmates they can cram into private prisons.

The corporate media exists to make money.
Every inflammatory fear mongering headline is done so intentionally for clicks and views.
And they won't ever say a word about Price Gouging or Wall Street.
Their Owners will not allow that.

Education will not get better because they want factory workers. Not people capable of thinking.

Every single Corporation and Lobbying Group exists solely to vacuum as much of OUR money
as possible from the Bottom 99% to the Top 1%. It's never going to be enough for them.

None of this is new. It's been going on for 40+ years.

None of it will change by electing Republicans or establishment Dems.

White house invasion? (Thought it was Antifa? Oh! Maybe THEY were the ones "peacefully protesting" while the thugs and criminals with the Dump flags and red hats were breaking windows and doors, assaulting cops, and committing terrorism?) Low standard of living, combined with decades of right wing propaganda / hate and fear mongering. Is there any group of people that is simultaneously as privileged and entitled and as fragile scared white men? What the F do you have to be scared about? It's not like you are being pulled out of cars and executed on the side of the road! Cops can't even bring themselves kill you when you shoot guns at them! Racist shooters stop and apologize to you when accidentally almost pointing a gun at you! Please tell me more about your plight!! I have my violin ready!!

You act like I've never had cops aim there guns at me lol. You act like I don't live near Minneapolis and maybe I had some real concerns about my families safety especially when the idiots here were screaming to end the police. You act like I've never been robbed, swindled, had my life threatened, worked were I was the minority. Do you live in some pristine suburb living off your parents and preaching about how things should be lol

Why are you whining about priviledge and entitlement? They are great things. The problem with the left is that instead of getting those things for minorities they spend their time bitching about whites. How about we actually deal with black disparity instead of aiming to drag everyone down?

But again preface a blurb of nonsense with racist Republicans lmao

I don't know you or where you live, or your experiences. Thank you for sharing with me now.

My parents are 80 lol. I live in a crappy suburb in Pennsatuckey, surrounded by hateful racist assholes and smooth brained "R for life" voters wondering when their lives are going to get better not worse.

The Left (The real left, not corporate Dems) wants nothing more than to end disparities for all working class people. Nobody wants anyone to be dragged down. A rising tide lifts all boats.
That mindset of "They want to drag US down" is the exact problem.
Not everything is about white people.
The whole f**king power structure revolves around you already, for Christ's sake.

JUST because black people are tired of getting killed by police at a 3-1 rate of others, that doesn't mean They/We/I want ANYONE else to be killed AT ALL. STOP F**KING KILLING PEOPLE.

Minneapolis Police are a f**king disaster-that is obvious.

Are you old enough to remember Rodney King? F**k, I wish we could go back to those days.
Now it's cops who are trained to be terrified of any situation AT ALL.
- 12 year old boy with toy gun? BOOM! 2 seconds - DEAD.
- Guy in a car mentions being e legal gun owner? BOOM Empty your clip into him with his f**king 5 year old in the back seat!
- Guy runs away from cops for a traffic/drug violation/refuses to ID? BOOM back of the head!
- Dude has a drug problem and freaked out from being scared of knowing what was about to happen?
Put your knee on his neck for 9 minutes while he's on the ground surrounded by cops with guns.
The paramedics had to tell him to GTFO of him so they could try to save his life!

And then after 500 instances of this stuff happening, right wing TV blames nobody but the victims.

Radicalized right wing influencers and people flood social media and real life with hateful rhetoric,
completely devoid of any empathy.

Support the cops 1000% even though they have been proven time after time to lie about almost everything - even when the body cameras were in use.

Police unions and "independent investigations" that can't admit a single fault in 99% of the situations.

Lawsuits get paid out with OUR tax dollars. NOT the persons responsible, NOT the unions.

End or reduce "Qualified Immunity". Make them get f**king Malpractice Insurance like Doctors.... you'll see them valuing human life all of the sudden.

Is there any doubt at all why things are so f**ked up these days?

Sucks, I know.
Don't like it, don't do it, DONE.

Spread the word, because the rest of humanity don't like them doing it either.

Homicide and Suicide are a significant cause of death for teenagers, so if we give a crap about them maybe its a good idea to limit their access to firearms? And someone who is suicidal, bullied, and indoctrinated by right wing BS that the world is against them can easily be turned into a homicidal maniac as demonstrated over and over. R politicians cry about "mental health" and then proceed to do absolutely nothing to improve any health care ever. D politicians get blocked at every turn by Rs.
All establishment politicians just want to stay in power to keep those "legal" bribes coming in.

This is a result of low self esteem society that seeks to destigmatize and celebrate the broken. Mental health was never harped about fifty years ago and kids weren't shooting up schools so your assumption has absolutely no grounds in reality. The more we talk about this shit the worse it gets because people start identifying with it.

But sure the Republicans did it. They got a Latino to go to a Latino majority school and kill Latino children. Do you actually hear yourself?

What? Latinos can’t be republicans? In Texas? Lol right wing propaganda got them brainwashed that they will be living under Commumist Dictatorship if they vote Dem. When I mentioned teenagers suffering from Right wing radical propaganda, I chose not to expand that to include grown ass adults as well. You know, the kinds of people that have been assaulting Asians since Covid, chase down, detain, or shoot black people simply driving delivery vehicles for dogs. Or jogging, or walking in a hoodie. People who tried to and successfully ran over protesters, point guns at protesters, try to run the Biden campaign tour bus off the road, calling any random Dem a ped0phile, the whole army of Karen’s out there policing minority children and adults for simply existing while black, harassing, coughing, and spitting on people who choose to wear a mask- which is proven to protect *other people*, etc etc. Do you think a single one of all of these people is anything but a Radicalized right wing nut job?
With minds poisoned by OAN, Newsmax, Fox?
The party of personal responsibility… What a joke.

People are talking about Civil War from fear of "mahhh gunzzz being taken away" But you feel is it less justifiable to be angry about being murdered in the streets by a factor of 3 to 1 because of your skin color? That is after your people have been screwed over for 200 years already? Everything's cool since the "civil rights act" though right?? Job discrimination. Income disparity. Education disparity. Health care disparity. Redlining. Mortgage inequality. Eminent Domain. Criminal Justice Inequality. Generations of fathers spending years in prison for horrific weed arrests, exacerbating every single problem.
Yeah Yeah.....Nothing to see here!
Yeah there were some assholes who started fires, and that is obviously very bad. That was what - 1% of the protesters? But the cops beating the shit out of protesters including women, kids, elderly people, that sure helps!

Imagine just for a minute what it would be like if your people were enslaved for several generations?
(You/we already are... by corporations and propaganda, hopefully you realize that sooner than later)

No imagine after all of that, decades later, that you couldn't even convince 30% of the people in this country that your life even f-ing matters? Politicians, cops, people in your communities, voters.....

Imagine being a teenager of color or lgbt in this country. What the f do you have to look forward to?

Nice of you to call a constitutional right "muh guns" definitely how rights should be treated.

Oh I'm less likely to die because I'm white! I bet so are Jews, Indians, Somalian, Pakistanis you name it but all you worry about is that whites aren't getting killed enough lol. Also who is the 1 that is killing the 1? Do you want to touch those stats? Probably not! But people don't vote exactly how you want them to therefor they don't believe black lives matter! What rubbish. The insane ramblings of a tyrant.

How I would feel about my people being slaves. Hmmmm. Probably uncomfortable if someone from the slave holder side was always calling me a victim with no self reliance and was bringing up the whole slavery thing nonstop. I might feel justified in being a pathetic specimen after hearing how evil the system is and how equality isn't enough because I was dealt such a shit hand Yada Yada Yada.

Imagine having such a low opinion of humanity that you can't imagine someone being successful unless all of society caters to them. What does that person have to look forward to? What did Hercules have to look forward to when Hera burned his wife and family and mankind was full of bandits and plagued by monsters? What a shit outlook on life.

Maybe the hypothetical person you mentioned would have something to look forward to if they stopped obsessing about what they don't have, the few idiots that hate them and the braindead media.

Anyways what's your solution to the disparity of minorities besides taking muh guns and calling me racist for not voting and speaking the way you want?

I don’t know how you made any of this about yourself? Actually I see that a lot with narrow thinking people. Nobody said anything about taking your guns. I said that you guys live in fear of it because you’ve been radicalized.
I’m making a comparison to something you might be sympathetic to as “justified anger”.
I didn’t call you racist either.
If you want to continue to vote against your best interests, to enrich the one percent and the shareholders *at your own expense, and at the expense of your friends, family, and customers if you own a business*, Vote for the multi millionaires in office who make money taking bribes from lobbying groups for corporations who make those “investments” so they can take more money from you and I, Because some millionaires on TV told you to be angry about inflation and Dr. Seuss while Wall Street is robbing us all blind, and come on here and spread that mentality, just to “Own the Libs”… be my guest. My hope is that you figure it all out someday. Not holding my breath.
And why would you think that I want *anyone* to be killed?
That’s ridiculous. But cops are trained to treat everyone as a threat to their life. Even if the “suspect” is running or driving away from them. How did we get to a place where anyone can see that and think it is remotely ok?

I think if you take your thinking and do a complete 180, maybe it will get you out of your rut.
