The shit that drives me crazy are the people who keep trying to apologize for the American public being duped when -- and I want to be clear on this -- in 2003 any non-lobotomized adult who didn't know the Bush Administration was lying out of their skulls was (and still likely is) a complete fucking moron. What's more to the point is that the vast majority of the American public in 2003 knew they were being lied to and were OK with it because they were gleefully eager to murder hundreds of thousands of brown men, women, and children.
It didn't really matter because the whole WMD argument was a red herring anyway. Even if they were absolutely correct, it still wasn't a compelling reason for preventive war
I mean, their entire premise was so laughable. Main purpose was to give people plausible deniability when confronted with what bombs and bullets and phosphorus do to human flesh.
Even if you believed them about the WMDs, that story fell apart incredibly quickly after the invasion. If supported the occupation after the lie was exposed, you were irredeemable.
Wolfowitz as much as admitted it in a post-invasion press conference that many elements in the govt. had different reasons for wanting to invade Iraq, but WMD was one that they could all get behind (the implication being that they knew they could sell fear to the American people)
Lmfao that guy in Kabul that was on his way to commit a suicide bombing who we drone striked was actually an aid worker. God we suck
I can't believe you posted this here, maybe you don't know who the person is but you'd have to be wayyyy into dumb dumb post-left Twitter to get this.
Spoiler Josh Merritt, a former member of Lindell's "red team" at the South Dakota gathering, told Salon that the meeting occurred at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach on the evening of Aug. 13. According to Merritt, New Mexico State University law professor David K. Clements, a Lindell associate and "election truther," talked about the potential Trump meeting ahead of time, during the cyber symposium. "David said he was trying to get on as a lawyer for 45," Merritt said adding that Clements saw Lindell's relationship with Trump as a way to gain access to the inner circles of TrumpWorld. Following the Aug. 13 event at Mar-a-Lago, Clements took to Telegram to praise Trump and boast about their meeting. "The greatest honor of my life. My President. Your President," he wrote. "Spent an unforgettable evening with the real President of the United States." The Office of Donald J. Trump didn't return a Salon request for comment on the meeting. In a photo obtained by Salon, which has not been previously released, a large group of Lindell allies, including his girlfriend Kendra Reeves, pro-Trump lawyer Kurt Olsen and Trump spokesperson Liz Harrington, can all be seen seated with Lindell and Trump himself at a large dining table. Along with everything else about this story guess we'll see if the lawyers face any consequences for this.
What an inspirational story Tim Scott has. Growing up as a black man in South Carolina to a poor single mom. But he pulled himself up by the bootstraps to become a US Senator. All so he can provide cover for a white nationalist movement that would see to prevent people who look like him ever having an equal vote in representative government.
The girl in the picture is a very dumb Australian post-left notorious Twitter shit poster. When Chapo became very popular she tried to ride their coattails then quickly pivoted to basically being a right winger. She's been banned several times and is basically a glutton for getting dunked on.
Trump walking around NYC talking about himself and surrounded by cops kissing his ass. It’s infuriating. And you wonder why people don’t trust the fucking cops. The mfer is a traitor. He led an insurrection.

I need to move this to the fucked around thread, but in an event that no one could foresee, my unvaxxed dad caught covid last week. Think he had a rough few days but he is laughing and saying he feels fine now. We just found out about it. I can't even talk to him he's so stupid. He started telling me earlier we don't know anything about this virus and the real issue is all of the information being suppressed. Told me doctors don't know anything. The vaccine doesn't matter because it wears off. He says we aren't getting all the information and no one knows the real truth. Fuck all of this.
The most impactful thing the right wing has done to the United States is convince a shit ton of people that objective truth doesn’t exist.
I do like the spite Maggie, a person who was also a Trump administration insider and writing a inside tell all) as for someone doing the exact same thing but "the wrong way."
Explain it to me like I'm 5. The Michael Lewis comments have me feeling some type of way. I may just be drunk watching football.
Maggie Haberman calling out others for access journalism is hilarious considering she’d lick Ivankas shoes for a few Off the record quotes she could use
Wolff just writes really poorly written hard to read sentences. But has made absolute bank by cranking out 3 Trump books cause he got access and Maggie is mad.
Water wet. For the last 40 years, America's entire Middle East policy is based around being mad that the Iranian people toppled the Shah. The Shah that had been re-installed in a CIA/British lead counter-coup in 1953, after democracy triumphed in Iran and the former Shah fled the country. But Mosaddegh, the democratically elected leader of Iran was going to nationalize Iran's oil. So, British Petroleum went work. The "students" took American hostages in the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Which effectively killed Jimmy Carter's presidency. Especially when the military and Carter aborted the rescue plan and still manage to crash a helicopter and kill 8 special forces guys while flying away from Tehran. Good news is that British Petroleum made lots of money from 1953 to 1979. And now we sell the Saudis billions in weapons to use in Yemen, cause the House of Saud are our allies against Iran. And any détente with Iran is unworkable, because Trump pulled out of the JCPOA. And Israel and Saudi Arabia pay K-Street lobbyist and think-tanks millions of dollars a year encouraging us to go to war with Iran. Nothing about it makes any sense. Iran should be America's closest ally in the Middle East. But the Dulles brothers fucked up our foreign policy forever with their bullshit.
