U.S. Politics

This is like watching a Super Bowl between the Patriots and the Giants.

I am broadly in favour of a withdrawal of troops from foreign conflict, but it must be done in a way that leaves the country in a better place, not create a vacuum. So Trump is trying to do the right thing in the wrong way and for the wrong reasons, and McConnell is trying to do the wrong thing the right way.

There's a reason why Afghanistan is known as "the graveyard of empires."   Libya vacuum lessons not learned aside, afghan undesirables will always be out of the bag and part of the landscape and imho it's doubtful the Afghan government will have the ability (or willpower) to keep things in check internally esp. after the U.S. splits altogether which brings up the question: just exactly how could one have "done the right thing the 'right way'?"  This is a miffed Trump clearing the table and leaving Biden with an inherited headache - certainly not a 'team' move, but to be expected from a wounded, narcissistic duck.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
@AOC
Does anyone believe Rittenhouse would be released if he were Muslim & did the same thing in a diff context? For people who say “systemic racism doesn’t exist,” this is what it looks like: protection of white supremacy baked deep into our carceral systems.

Law and disorder.

Unfortunately, it seems that may not be 100% true.  The owner of Parler said it wasn't hacked.

Well. If you expose your server credentials on a publicly accessible page then he's technically correct, it's not hacking.
