Schrödinger's Casualties

 From Eric Boehlert:


Congressman Chris Murphy adds context:


But until Joe Biden actually started the process of ending the American occupation of Afghanistan, nothing that was happening in that country -- not even Donald Trump sabotaging any chance that this was ever going to be anything less than chaos -- was real enough or important enough to make the news.

Well, to be fair, but this time no one believed a word TFG ever said on anything by then, so the agreement in 2020 was probably considered yet another thing that only existed in foggy realm of the Orange noggin.

Not to pile on in a separate pile of bile.

The republicans were very silent on their Afghanistan obligations only the Trump (only he alone can fix it) really put the fix to it.

If you notice recently. All the GOP are having brain farts of spectacular hemorrhaging piety of expertise of how it all went to hell in a basket of deplorables when that Joe Biden got into the white house.

Even though Biden is not president/ Trump still is.

It is like since Trump moved to his golf course. GO have learned they can use ventriloquism from their assholes.
and never have to move their lips.

This is from your classic about dumpster diving for dope baggies. This is from The Atlantic today: To better understand what’s happening in the GOP, think of a person with addiction who over time develops a tolerance; as a result, they need more potent and more frequent doses of the drug to get their desired high. And sometimes even that isn’t enough. They might turn to a more potent drug, which offers a more intense experience and a longer-lasting high, but at the price of considerably more danger.

Since the time when the news department of the big three TV networks were considered lost leaders and then turned into nothing but profit making machines have they even kept up with society page current events let alone world shaking news events. Then there is their complete abdication of their responsibility to inform and educate the citizens of this fledgling democracy so they may make informed decisions when voting on how we run our country. Along with their abdication of informing and educating, they have set out to purposely misinform and muddy the waters of information to assist the wealthy in consolidating power and stealing our elections and money. Since the time of the Nixon shiver and shake debacle they have been taking steroids to keep up with the spewing of non-news for fun and profit. With a yearly renewal of covering for Republican malfeasance with "everybody does it" to "can't we all just get along" with just a slight harmonization and volume adjustment to make it go down easier and with less talk-back from the hoi polloi.
