American weapons sold to Taliban?

Is this gunrunning by the US?

Or is it just incompetence?

Corruption in Afghanistan. What a surprise!

Taliban buying US supplied weapons and FUEL from Afghanistan police and army. 

Is ignoring this part of a plan to foment further strife? Or is it being ignored in order to keep the programs in place so the suppliers can make more money(and kick some back to US interests….)? Shades of Vietnam style corruption here…..

Interesting conflation

I like how they conflate the proposed De-Funding of Planned Parenthood (a good idea) with reversal of Rowe V Wade (which the Supremes should have sent back to the States)

The two are in no way related, however….Planned Parenthood, as an organization, does not perform abortions, but rather refers women to abortion centers. And Roe V Wade is, like it or not, the Law Of The Land.

But abortion is a hot button, emotion eliciting tool to get women upset about….and it has worked so far.

I wonder who is funding the protests? 

Children being childish…

And just plain Churlish/

And, proving that to everybody…

Yet, obviously, their constituents continue to vote for ’em…

So Children apparently leading children.

What immaturity. How childish. And they, of course, will want Trump to work with them later…

Twenty-four Democratic lawmakers now say they are skipping Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony on Jan. 20, a number that grew Saturday after the president-elect dismissed a congressman who is a civil rights icon as “all talk.”

At some point they have to realize that their behavior is just stupid, right?

Did any Right leaning politicians skip Barry’s first Inauguration? I don’t remember hearing about any….And Barry was then still in doubt about his citizenship… and legal suitability for President(and in my mind still is…) (and yes, he is legally president. Once he was sworn in, as far as I am concerned, he was legally president…..doesn’t mean he was/is a citizen)

And the house lights down….

oops.

So yesterday I had someone tell me I was the most foul mouthed person she’d ever met.

I said “No shit? Hey, I’m fuckin’ sorry if my language offends you”

A thought:

Here is something that most liberals (and a fair number of conservatives, too) need to keep in mind…especially those who suffered from Bush Derangement Syndrome…and now suffer from Trump Derangement….

(And for those who suffered from Barry Derangement as well)

Here’s the thing:

Just because you don’t like someone doesn’t mean that they are the Spawn of Satan. They may not be anyone you’d share a drink with, and their policies and attitudes may not be anywhere close to what you’d find acceptable.
This does not mean that they are terrible people. Just because you’d like to believe that they would gleefully laugh as they stuffed children and puppies into a sausage grinder, laughing at the screams of terror and pain as they were consumed doesn’t make it true. No matter how hard you wish for such things about the “other guy” no matter what sort of stories you hear…..vet your sources and do a reality check first. Think before you post garbage……Check before you begin to believe. Take a deep breath and run it through your own reality meter….does it pass the smell check? Does it even begin to sound real? Is there any doubt in your mind? Do a reality check. Do a check on your own rationality…..

Cause some of you are starting to sound like the dude on the street corner telling everyone about his visions of the end of the world….you know, the ones that make you wish you’d crossed the street to avoid? The wide eyed crazy-expressioned dude with the nutso eyes that can’t stop talking about the vegetarian lizard aliens who are secretly taking over to make a one world government and all that?

Yeah, that’s what you are starting to sound like.

Get a grip. Check with your own sense of reality and think: Are there facts?? (If so, check’em…) Or izzit just some dude posting on Facebook or a Blog and it fits with what you’d LIKE to think about the guy….?
