Ahoy, Maties! The SS NeverTrump Runs Aground on a Reef of Reality and Castaway Cvcks Spiral Down Into the Depths of their Own Vortex of Self-Righteous Delusion

Then: JOE BIDEN WILL SAVE US!!!

Now: Joe Biden has fled! WHO WILL SAVE US NOW?!

NeverTrumpers are emotionally, psychologically, and of course physically healthy beings:

No lie, as I slim down I get more emotionally tranquil and as I pork up I get more touchy and angry.

Try to get some GAINZZZ, you fat sacks of venomous hatred. And also, you fat sacks of fat.

Of all people to believe themselves intellectually superior to anyone, Jonah Goldberg -- the living, breathing embodiment of nepotistic mediocrity, dense banality, and unearned privilege -- should be last on the list, but it's endemic to the neocon worldview.

Even the "man" I know by the codename "AHOY ONE" finds Biden to be "not reassuring."

Sure, sure. But, the norms, William. Have they been restored to your satisfaction? https://t.co/DZdUEJBe2U

A very weak expression of disapproval from AHOY ONE, who staked his reputation on liberal internationalism and promiscuous interventionism.

I guess his Democrat donors will only allow him to say so much.

Some people have had enough of the Alcoholic Shut-In who views lockdowns as nice equalizer, as it forces healthy, normal people to live sad agoraphobic lives more similar to his own:

He's too busy wetting himself over the panic porn.

Him: oh noes, ICU is at 90% capacity!!!

Reality: It's usually between 70% and 80% capacity. Not lots of surge room. MS is struggling b/c they have so few hospitals and beds and no surge capacity

I'll link AllahPundit for the first time in years. Flow your tears, the policeman said.

Sources: White House believes scenes of slaughter in Afghanistan will boost support for Biden's withdrawal decision

So wait, does that mean Biden won't be restoring our precious norms, KarenPundit?

Incredibly cynical and depressing. And quite possibly correct.

"The public opinion is pretty damn clear that Americans wanted out of the ongoing war and don't want to get back in. It's true today and it’s going to be true in six months," said one Biden ally. "It isn't about not caring or being empathetic about what’s going on over there, but worrying about what’s happening in America..."
White House officials believe Americans' horror over graphic images of the chaos in Kabul and pleas from Afghans who fear they will be killed by the Taliban will morph into support for the president’s decision to pull troops from the country by Aug. 31 after a 20-year war.

They expect the Afghanistan story to recede from the headlines, replaced by the resurgence in COVID-19 cases, the economic recovery and other issues, people familiar with the matter said.

KarenPundit gets that dig in about the American people -- this cynical strategy will probably work, Xhe says -- still bitter and butthurt that America doesn't share his passion for neoliberal internationalism any longer.

Even in a post about the callous cynicism of the Administration xhe voted for, xhe still has to get a dig in on Americans generally. And of course Trump voters.

It's always about Trump. And Trump voters. Always, always, always.

Just like fellow liberals Jonah Goldberg and Tom Nichols, KarenPundit shifts his anger and disgust away from the man he supported for president -- the man who is actually doing these things -- to the American people.

Anything to avoid confessing that they made a stupid, egotistical, immoral choice in 2020. (And in 2016, too.)

It's not me who screwed up -- it's these damn American voters!

By the logic of "the worse, the better," maybe it makes sense that they're seemingly prepared to leave Americans behind on August 31. If the public is pro-withdrawal now, imagine how supportive they'll be when the Taliban is posting videos of Americans being beheaded.

Karen's talking about Biden choosing to leave Americans to be beheaded.

No mention of possible impeachment over such a heinous, cowardly decision. Just examining the politics of it. Wondering if Americans are dumb enough and savage enough to applaud it.

Well, I don't know about you, but my precious norms have certainly been restored.

Someone said that Joe Biden could shoot someone on 5th Avenue, and he wouldn't lose Jen Rubin's support:

It isn’t just that Rubin is lying. It’s that she’s using her platform at the Post to push out dishonest propaganda so that the Admin can claim things aren’t as bad as they are, all while people die because of Biden’s mistakes.

It’s really, really repugnant. pic.twitter.com/lyWmqON09f

The neocons have given up any pretense of caring about the American national interest. Like the left among whom they are embedded (and whom they occasionally embed), they believe American interests are always subordinate to the interest of foreigners.

Get out of here with this nonsense. There are American citizens who are still in harm’s way, and you want to take an undeterminable # of unvetted refugees because you think it’ll hurt Biden politically? https://t.co/A6kr5Zx4Pl
— Kyle Shideler (@ShidelerK) August 20, 2021

Also Biden’s left flank is already gearing up to support a call for the largest possible population transfer of refugees to the U.S. So even politically it’s nonsensical.
— Kyle Shideler (@ShidelerK) August 20, 2021

Such a childish manipulation -- "Allow hundreds of thousands of Afghan migrants to OWN THE LIBS!!! That appeals to you monsters, right?!"

Like Obama's attempt to gin up support for a Syrian war -- "And you conservatives love killing brown people, right?"

These people are liberals. Period.

Fuck off and die.

Meghan McCain starts eyeing up Joe Biden as a late-afternoon snack.

The news comes after McCain suggested during the presidential election cycle that she would vote for Biden and appeared to celebrate after his victory in November. However, McCain’s husband has said that she did not vote for Biden.
"I have been physically ill, more depressed than I have been since the beginning stages of the pandemic and filled nothing short of pure rage and anger since the calamity of a 'pull out' which will be seen as one of the greatest foreign policy catastrophes of my lifetime," McCain wrote on Instagram. "I am furious our President was so incompetent not to see what every expert on the planet could have seen coming. I am furious for my friends and family who have been fighting in these wars since I was 16 (many who have lost limbs, had their life terrorized by PTSD from their experiences in war and deployments, or worse)."
"I am furious seeing our allies and innocent Afghan citizens who trusted us are being left to be slaughtered or so desperate to escape the pure evil the Taliban will bring in that they are falling out of f***king planes," she continued. "This is not who America is; this is not the values this country was founded in."

All of these liberals love quoting that infamous Obama attack line.

" Our veterans deserve better; the innocent Afghan people and our allies and translators who have stood by us for the past 20 years deserve better. The shame, dishonor and embarrassment the Biden administration has brought to our country will take generations to undo. Not to mention our standing in the world and the cruel reality that the likelihood of another significant domestic terror attack has now risen to the highest levels since 9/11 and will usher in ISIS 3.0. -- I could say so much more (and have been raging on Twitter), but please reach out to your veteran friends and their families -- everyone I know is struggling. May God have mercy for what we have done to these people abandoning them."
Biden is unfit to lead and I am nothing short of disgusted he and his staff can't seem to be bothered to leave their vacation during an international crisis of our own creation," she concluded. "There should be an emergency congressional hearing before more innocent lives are lost. My heart is broken, this tragedy will absolutely haunt our country. Also -- every single Afghan refugee fleeing must be granted a safe haven in America!"

You voted for him, Daddy-Do-Me.

And of course, ending with the flourish that of course we must invite in the entire population of Afghanistan.

Say is your mom going to resign from the minor political payoff she got from Biden? Being appointed as the UN Special Envoy for Stealing Pills from Clients or whatever?

34 New Zealand has decided to extend its three-day "snap" lockdown, as the restrictions will be extended for another four days, with PM Jacinda Ardern's cabinet set to meet Monday to decide whether another extension might be merited (we suspect it almost definitely will). That's because, although New Zealand has yet to confirm that the cases COVID cases plaguing the country in months are actually the delta variant, authorities' "strong suspicion" inspired the initial lockdown after just a single case.

On Friday, Kiwi authorities confirmed another 11 cases of the virus, bringing the total number uncovered during the outbreak to 31. They also confirmed three cases in Wellington - the first sign that the outbreak has already spread to New Zealand's capital.

I'm sure a bunch are parents intentionally doing it to plausibly get rid of an inconvenience, but not all of them are.

The legit ones could probably pass a lie detector that either 1) they had dropped the kid off; or 2) that it wasn't their turn to take the kid.

We really do run on auto-pilot without even realizing it, and combine sleep deprivation, a schedule change, and distraction at the wrong time and yes, it can happen.

The "important thing" they want you to put in the back seat is something that will interrupt the auto pilot if you don't have it: keys for your office, your work id, your laptop, etc.

The problem is you and everyone like you. From the less-successful toadies in news and class rooms to the more successful wielders of power in the government, you are the same in essence. You differ only by connections and luck. You are all incompetent. You are all useless. You are all evil.

I identify politically as nationalist libertarian. I think I speak for a lot of independent-leaning types in saying that the neoconservatives had their day, but it's folly to pretend that it's 2003 in 2021. A whole lot of stuff has changed since then, starting with the entry into cultural relevance of the first post Cold War generation.

189 Biden / Ds were going to run the Obama presidency script.

Let underlings make decisions. Get good press. Make an appearance once in awhile. Hence, until 6 hours ago, he was going to go back to DE.

Biden is not the "good looking and articulate" black guy to be president with perfectly creased pants.

He has made the MSM look bad (with their own help). They have to come after him. Inflation. High gas prices ( because very few libs know he went hat in hand to OPEC+). And crime will not recede noticeably in the next 12 months.

The silver lining might be, given how bad it is now, any D voting to enact 1T infrastructure & 3.5T reconciliation will lose because it can be tied to Joe. Who wants that?

I've come to the same conclusion...from a prior huge thread:

The Taliban beating women and children trying to flee isn't a bug, it's a FEATURE.

The media initially shied away from bombarding us with pictures of bloody dead kids and babies being passed over barbed wire when they weren't fully aware of the plan; their first impulse was to protect Biden and their team.

Once they are on board with the idea that this is all just a massive refugee op, they'll start pumping out the horrific imagery, because that is what will sell this mass importation of Democrat voters to the average American. And it won't even have to be manufactured, like much of the propaganda for "Syrian refugees" was!

It makes no sense how the Pentagon pulled out. Almost like they rolled out the red carpet for the Taliban, complete with tempting them to "come and get" all the US military equipment left behind.

Almost like it was all done to create the excuse to go back and extract a 100K afghans and bring them here.

So why has the Politburo (the press heads, tech owners, Dem leaders, WH admin officers, big time DNC donors) decided to cut and run and not defend Punchy and Kamalalala-Ding-Dong - to let them swing now and not circle the wagons?

Because, as the old Soviet killers and Jack Woltz understood well - you can't be made to look ridiculous. Otherwise, the peasants start to think that you can be overrun you pretty easy like...and the press in particularly is arrayed with exceptional cowards in that regard, so Bus/Under status it is for Punchy....

Think about, a sensible withdrawal would get all Americans (not that many there, in my belief) out over a period of weeks, with the full protection of the present US military and a secure airbase and an intact Afghan Army.

Then the US military equipment would go. Finally, the US military personnel would exit.

But that sensible and safe "withdrawal plan" wouldn't bring 100K Afghan savages into the USA for the Democrat party.

258 Darrell - Ian and his outfit are part of the mass of mediocrities who were swept into power under Clinton, and have never disappeared, despite their uniform failure and incompetence. The passing of the Cold War generation in terms of national security personnel resulted in an overall down-ratchet of tremendous proportions. There are/were exceptions, but generally it's been a disastrous wasteland.

It may be that some states will prevent vax passports but they can't do much about those that must follow Federal guidelines and are private enterprise.

I'm going to check my old channels for overseas meds. Of course right now I'm paying very little due to Part D which pays for the meds.

I can only hope that as more and more of the vaccinated become infected with the covid that the purveyors begin to be out shouted by those who have experienced the falsity of their claims and weakening the demand for vaccinations.
