So Now Biden Is Meeting With the Taliban To Discuss Releasing Their Frozen Funds

The Adults Are Back in Charge!

Afghan finance and central bank officials from the Taliban-led government have departed for Qatar to meet with U.S. officials. The move comes after last week's deadly earthquake highlighted how critical relief efforts have stumbled under the weight of the country's spiraling economic woes....
The Washington Post first reported that Biden administration officials are considering ways to allow Afghanistan's government to use its frozen central bank reserves to tackle the humanitarian crises there.

Wait I thought NeverTrump told us that Biden would be a sure hand at the till? I thought his 40 years of Senatorial experience were going to fix all of the amateur Trump's blunders?!

Dr. Strangetweet, @lone_rides, had something to say to the NeverTrumpers:

Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT
@lone_rides
Jun 22
"I voted Biden but I didn't think he'd be this bad."
You were warned.
"Well, I'd still vote Biden over Trump."
Oh. In that case, shut up.
Imagine telling your fellow citizens "yeah your life sucks now after years of it not sucking, but I don't care."
"Well Trump was a danger to democracy!"
More of a danger than arresting political opponents like in Michigan? Because that's pretty damaging to democracy.

"I don't like Biden's policies but..."
There is no "but" to justify this.
None. Because anything you say either Biden has down and you ignored or Biden is doing and you're ignoring.
I remember the pseudo-Right saying we are voting for Biden but we will hold him accountable".
So when does that start? Because all I see is him curb stomping Americans and you bitching about the conservatives that want conservatism pushed.
Trump had a combative media on the Left and combative think-piecers on the Left and "Right".
What does Biden have? One reporter asking questions, everyone else ready to wipe his butt.
All you "just get rid of Trump and we'll fight Biden" fake conservatives are either cowards or liars.
Which is it?
"Voting Biden over Trump was the only logical choice."
High gas prices aren't logical. High food prices aren't logical. Spending millions on a proxy war isn't logical.
It's just that the alternative, a man you despised for succeeding where you failed, wasn't "your" guy.
You fought Trump more on a daily basis than you have Biden since he took office.
You're still fighting people who want the Right to be more than lap dogs.
So who's side are you really on?
Don't answer. We know.
Face it.
You were wrong about Trump.
You were wrong about Biden.
If you were fooled, you're not as smart as the people you look down on who told you about Biden.
If you weren't fooled, you're evil liars.
So which is it?
Are you stupid or are you evil?
Did you subject your fellow citizens to this because of your ego or because of your evil?
Personally, I think you get off on the suffering.
Cruelty is the point for you.

I keep saying this, but the pseudoright, the liberal Republican NeverTrumpers, the neocons-- liberals who became "conservative" only for purposes of supporting the policy of the Cold War against the Soviet Union -- have always hated, feared, and despised actual conservatives. And they have always feared a conservative takeover of America more than a leftwing progressive one.

They're 75% leftwing progressives themselves, so they don't fear that. They don't prefer it, you understand, but they also don't fear it.

They live in very leftwing Blue Cities in which ultraleft governance is the norm, in which ultraleft social norms are the norm, in which ultraleft political imperatives are the norm.

They are used to very leftwing government and have no visceral objection to it. They see it as merely a cost to pay for having easy access to the the-a-tre and tastefully ethnic restaurants.

On the other hand: they absolutely fear and despise conservatives, and would never agree to live in conservative-dominated regions.

They have remained "on the right" under one condition: The condition in which they control the actual conservatives and keep them out of actual power and keep conservatives from achieving the conservative priorities conservatives seek.

Oh, the neocons will agree to lead the conservatives -- as long as they can lead them away from actual conservatism, towards a more enlightened left-liberal Corporate Libertarianism.

The reason they hate Trump -- I mean, they hate him for other reasons, but the reason they H - A - T - E Trump -- is that he was the only man who could and would stand outside this Fake Politics the neocons had constructed with their openly liberal cousins in which conservatives had only two options, the Fake "Conservative"-branded version of neoliberalism, or the establishment liberal version of liberalism.

I'm really not a fan of Trump, and I would love it if he didn't run and just let DeSantis win 45 states in 2024, but let's give Trump credit: Literally no one was capable of standing completely apart from the Vast Fake Right Wing Conspiracy of grifter consultants, grifter fundraisers, grifter party leaders, and grifter politicians and saying "I'm going my own way, the fuck with all of you guys, I don't need your blessing and I won't repeat your mantras."

Again, I hate to say this, but give the man his due: Trump freed people's minds. He freed us from The Matrix of fake, forced "options" imposed on us by the Uniparty.

The "manufactured consent" that leftwing rabble-rouser Noam Chomsky wrote about? He didn't know the half of it. And he didn't know the real "manufactured consent" psyops operations were being directed not against the left but against the right.

This is why they are so determined to take out Trump. Part of it is backwards looking-- they want vengeance against the man who stole the power they had tricked conservatives into granting them.

But most of it is very forwards-looking: they think that if they can discredit and destroy Trump, then they can put us all back into the box, where we all accept that our choice is between Jeb! flavored Fake Conservatism, or Marco Rubio flavored Fake Conservatism, or Kristi Noem flavored Fake Conservatism.

If they can just rid themselves of this turbulent anti-priest, then the Rubes will calm down and accept reason and accept their place as The Ruled, not the Rulers, and finally start obeying the neocon branch of the neoliberal establishment Uniparty again.

I don't think they're right. I sure hope they're not right, because if a movement is to endure, it has to be capable of existing without its founder. It cannot die when the founder's lifespan ends.

The neocon NeverTrumpers are sure hoping that's all this is, and all there is to Trumpism is a bunch of Zombies mesmerized by Trump's Dark Charisma, and if they can just get rid of the Zombie Master, then the spell will be broken, and we'll all go back to being hypnotized by them.

They don't understand -- they can't understand -- they won't understand -- that this is much less about allegiance to Trump and much, much more about a declaration of war against them.

Trump was and is a rallying point. A figure to gather around. A flag to gather under.

But others can serve this function.

To be honest, I don't give a shit if they release Ted Kazynski from prison and he becomes the new MAGA standard bearer -- I'll rally around him to oppose the corrupt, smugly-toxic Ruling Party.

They all pretend they were "just fighting Trump."

That is the biggest lie of all.

They were attacking Trump. They weren't fighting Trump. They weren't denigrating and dehumanizing Trump.

They were doing all those things to us, and they know that.

In 2016, we got sick of complaining to the Establishment that our voices were being ignored and openly mocked -- "Hobbits!" After years and years of being ignored, you stop asking, and you start telling.

We told them. We voted for Trump.

We told them that we were going to pursue a different kind of politics than the one the Establishment corporate service officers of the GOP had been pursuing for fifty years.

And we won.

But we didn't.

Because instead of allowing us to enjoy the victory we'd lawfully, rightly, legally obtained, NeverTrump decided upon a scorched earth strategy to subvert, undermine, block, and discredit us and stop us from doing any of the things we had just won a popular mandate to do.

They were insistent that we should have the choice between two options: Establishment Neo-liberalism and Fake "Conservative"-Branded Establishment Neo-Liberalism, and we were simply not permitted to make any selection except for those on the menu made by the Ruling Class, and as we had acted above our station and mistaken ourselves for free men, we would have to be Taught a Lesson.

NeverTrump would now turn itself to ensuring that the policies we had lawfully, honestly won the right to put into practice would fail, so that Trump would fail, so that our movement would fail, so that we would realize that we were all Stupid Little Hobbits incapable of choosing for ourselves and go back to obeying Paul Singer and Bill Kristol and Mitch McConnell and AEI and its donors.

And NeverTrump really thinks that after all this, after making treasonous war on their former allies for six fucking years, we're going to support them when they try to force Kristi Fucking Noem on us?

Or -- Liz Cheney?

Are you kidding me?

You are dead to us. You are nothing but traitors, and no one trusts a traitor, not even the side they defected to.

But you would do better to follow Bill Kristol's lead and simply start attempting to create a Neocon Bubble inside the Democrat Party, because you will never be permitted any success in the GOP again.

I will vote for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez before I vote for a NeverTrump candidate. I will vote for Bernie Sanders before I vote for a NeverTrump neocon.

I will affirmatively do what NeverTrump did -- I will work to destroy everything and burn it all down, in order to gain back power for my faction -- rather than submit to you, ever again.

Death to the NeverTrumpers.

Death to the Neocons.

Death to fake conservative charlatans and internal saboteurs.

Is it clear now, AllahPundit?

Taking down Trump is not the win you've been jerking yourself off about for six years.

Totally apart from her GirlPower work with Pelosi running roughshod over due process protections in Congress, this sexist trope is such a stupid and lefty thing for Liz Cheney to say. It's Hillary Clinton-esque.

Well the NeverTrumpers did all support Hillary Clinton in 2016, so.

Oh wait, they claim they didn't -- they just used all of what influence they had to direct people away from voting for Trump, while encouraging people to vote for either Hillary Clinton or spoiler third-party candidates like the pothead from Arizona.

Totally different from "supporting Hillary Clinton!"

And like we've discovered, the Left Establishment are our open enemies, whilst the Right Establishment are traitors to our side.

61 NeverTrump wants DeSantis. He's their new Rubio or Cruz.

That's all I need to know to be confident that Trump is VASTLY superior to DeSantis.

DeSantis served years in the House as part of the GOP establishment before becoming governor of Florida. That, plus NeverTrump's support of him now, should be a clue to those who see clearly what NeverTrump are.

Funny how it isn't.

Besides, that zero-charisma shorty with his femme voice and too big suits is never going to win a national election.

76 I had mostly distanced myself from politics prior to The Trumpening--I did always research who I voted for but it was mostly third parties because the "conservative" was invariably some big-money type whose interests do not align with my own. The America First thing brought me back--finally, a guy and his movement that's not totally obsessed with stonks and wars. If GOPe manages to purge MAGA I'll just go back to voting for third party candidates.

I don't think they can actually pull it off, though. They're inheritors, not strategists, so they're good at backstabbing but not so good at actually getting stuff done. Which is why they became so disliked by people like me in the first place.

And it's worth noting that Trump accomplished what Democrats and Republicans had been promising (and pretending to be trying) for fifty. Real achievement. Showing that it could be done, and not just it could be talked about. Not only that, but it could be done with all of the opposition party and most of your OWN party fighting you tooth and nail to prevent you from accomplishing anything.

That's part of why they hated him, too.

101 i think i got that wrong, about coulombs:

...

The coulomb (symbolized C) is the standard unit of electric charge in the International System of Units (SI). It is a dimensionless quantity, sharing this aspect with the mole. A quantity of 1 C is equal to approximately 6.24 x 1018, or 6.24 quintillion.
In terms of SI base units, the coulomb is the equivalent of one ampere-second. Conversely, an electric current of A represents 1 C of unit electric charge carriers flowing past a specific point in 1 s. The unit electric charge is the amount of charge contained in a single electron. Thus, 6.24 x 1018 electrons have 1 C of charge.

...

that said, I think that 1 C equals 6.24 x 10 to the 18th electrons. It's a unit defined by a certain number of electrons, which is "charge."

Yes.

What concerns me most is the percentage of Americans that are in a trance. They have no knowledge of literature, of religion, of history, of civics, of epistemology, of ontology or philosophy.

I'm not particularly concerned with those that are demon possessed destroyers, they will always be around. But the percentage of Americans that can articulate their beliefs, the ideals of the country as founded, and their duties in the social contract is shrinking, and as such they easily vacillate between cause du jours with no fundamental base of discernment.

And Trump got those 74 million+ legit votes with the broadest coalition of any GOP candidate ever.

Anyone who thinks that DeSantis can outperform Trump is kidding themselves because right off the bat about 11 million Trump-only voters will stay home or vote 3rd party.

Also, no one but Trump would have stood up to the enormous pressure to dump Kavanaugh and to not confirm ACB just 6 months before the election. No one. And that includes DeSantis. That means the NY 2A case, the Dobbs case and the EPA case would not have gone our way.

That alone makes Trump the vastly superior choice to DeSantis.

One coulomb is equal to about 6.241 x 10^18 electric charges (e). One ampere is the current in which one coulomb of charge travels across a given point in 1 second. That's why an average lightning bolt carries around 5 coulombs of charge, even though its current may be tens of thousands of amps.

You aren't wrong, but the real credit goes to young nationalist anons, whom Bannon studied and fed Trump the narrative on which way to go when performing. Hell, that is what both parties where pissed at was the fact Bannon and company used Trump to run on Pro-White and Nationalist platforms. I mean they flat out told us over and over again what Team Trump was doing 2015-2016 like Pandering to Whites was an evil sin, but other groups its ok to have an identity and faction.
Anyway, Bannon used Trump to amplify the Gen X and younger White Men, who make up anons. Trump was a gifted pro wrestling amnd celebrity performer, nothing more.

198 The coulomb (symbolized C) is the standard unit of electric charge in the International System of Units (SI). It is a dimensionless quantity, sharing this aspect with the mole. A quantity of 1 C is equal to approximately 6.24 x 1018, or 6.24 quintillion.
In terms of SI base units, the coulomb is the equivalent of one ampere-second. Conversely, an electric current of A represents 1 C of unit electric charge carriers flowing past a specific point in 1 s. The unit electric charge is the amount of charge contained in a single electron. Thus, 6.24 x 1018 electrons have 1 C of charge.

...

that said, I think that 1 C equals 6.24 x 10 to the 18th electrons. It's a unit defined by a certain number of electrons, which is "charge."

Maybe we are looking at Spongebrain's actions through the wrong lens. What if some of his insane actions are driven not by bribes, blackmail, and insanity, not by take-no-prisoners partisanship, but by an overpowering need to show he is better than Obama? Maybe Obama and his acolytes demeaned Joe even more than we think. So...

Obama won an Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing? I, Joe, will EARN one by ending the war in A-Stan, by ending Putin's war on Ukraine on my terms, not his, and by giving humanitarian aid to an enemy (Taliban)?

Obama said he'd heal the planet and end the rise of the seas? He didn't do squat. But I, Joe, will get the US really on the way towards zero carbon emissions!

Obama got high praise from the Left for DACA and DAPA? Big deal. I, Joe, will let millions of the downtrodden and oppressed come to the US for freedom and safety! And maybe win a second Nobel Prize? That black bastard only has ONE!

Eh. Or maybe Joe is simply a blackmailed senile nut case.

Her concern at the time wasn't invalid: South Dakota doesn't have the clout other states have when it comes to standing up to the NCAA. You need a group of states- especially if you can get a big one- to be able to push them around.

214 The more they go after Trump, the more I think it is imperative to put him back in office in '24. If he's forced out of running, or if he loses a primary because of the belief that somehow DeSantis or another would be "better," then the NeverTrump faction wins. They'll have demonstrated that they hold enough power to take anyone out.
Posted by: Colorado Alex in Exile

Why would you give him another chance when he consistently time and time again not only turned his back on his 2015-2016 original base, consistently made terrible hires, allowed a Communist Revolution to take place and did nothing but offer to let Blacks out of prison early plus the 500 billion Platinum plan, and lured his base to The Event of a Color Revolution? I could go on..
Maybe NeverTrump is playing this to get him back in office because Trump has new handlers and a new platform and ditched the wining one after election 2016.
I'm done voting for anybody who is Anti-White, Anti-Male, and Anti-Christian (there is no such thing as Judeo-Christianity. Its a non sense word and a spit in the face to Christ fearing and believing Christians. But it makes Boomers feel good so whatevs).

Posted by: Heavy Squats at July 01, 2022 04:26 PM (ENQWk)

215 My concern about DeSantis is not the left putting up a strong opponent, but rather he doesn't have the same pull with blue collar dems and first time voters as Trump did. Plus Trump has a national/international track record.

DeSantis said a while back that he's not running if Trump is. Trump said earlier this week that he'd love to have DeSantis as his running mate.

This fixes all of the problems people have thrown up:
1) Trump's old? No problem if something happens.
2) DeSantis lacks name recognition? No problem, he's on Trump's ticket.

Trump 2024, DeSantis 2028/2032. The Democrats will be declared illegal in 2026 in a Clarence Thomas opinion and it'll be glorious.

216 Also remember Romney that asshole was done in by the 47% remark, Palin by satire on SNL, Rick Perry by forgetting something. Trump has an invulnerability not shared by many others on the planet.

People who want "someone else", even for decent reasons, tend to be looking past the incredible built-in advantages Trump offers. Invulnerable politicians have only ever been Democrats all our lives.

They didn't "force" anything, they simply turned down the appeal. This is actually consistent with the positions the conservative justices have been staking out all year; they are going to allow States wide latitude with their policies as much as possible, even when a State decides to destroy itself economically. (which is what California is doing with this law) The only kind of State Law case that appears to grab their interest are those like the North Carolina redistricting case, where the North Carolina Supreme Court appears to have openly usurped the power of the North Carolina Legislature. But all parts of California's govm't stand behind this stupid law, so the SCOTUS will allow them to do it, no matter how bad an idea it may be.

286 Ace...that was a brilliant trump/establishment rant...i would add one more point to it...trump decided to confront china and open people`s eyes as to just what our establishment was allowing china to do to our country....our politicians had sold out to them and to this day i believe that "RUSSIA,RUSSIA,RUSSIA" is nothing more than a convenient boogeyman..a distraction from china`s wholesale take over of our ruling class......

and because trump was exposing china`s destruction of america(the middle class,to be more specific...with the help of our own elites) he became enemy number one......trump couldn`t be bought of so he had to be removed...

enemy #1...

306 268 They didn't "force" anything, they simply turned down the appeal. This is actually consistent with the positions the conservative justices have been staking out all year; they are going to allow States wide latitude with their policies as much as possible, even when a State decides to destroy itself economically. (which is what California is doing with this law) The only kind of State Law case that appears to grab their interest are those like the North Carolina redistricting case, where the North Carolina Supreme Court appears to have openly usurped the power of the North Carolina Legislature. But all parts of California's govm't stand behind this stupid law, so the SCOTUS will allow them to do it, no matter how bad an idea it may be.

339 I want to add this.

Most people who legitimately dislike Trump, it's because of his ego. His ego is enormous and it shows.

But his ego is also what allowed him to totally disregard all the "experts" in the swamp who kept telling him that what he wanted was impossible.

The ego also makes it hard for him to hire good people, but all in all, his ego is essential to what he accomplished.

"He sure did. You should go up there and give him a piece of your mind. I mean it. You need to rip him a new one!"
"I'll do it!" the lady says.
"Great" says the woman, "I'll hold your pet rat."

Yep. Trump never even had his first term. The Uniparty tried to kill the king. It was a grazing shot. Now I want payback via Trump first. I just hope has developed enough resources and personnel of virtue on his own team to vet and destroy that which poisons our Executive institutions. And he needs the bloodletting to begin before he retakes office if at all possible.

But DeSantis will be more ready and better prepared for 2024 than he ever will. I don't know if he will run against Trump or could get the nomination over him, but if he isn't ready, then nobody is. The Disney beat-down was epic and he isn't likely to have a better success story to show what he's willing and able to do.

Pretty sure the same is true anywhere more than one state away from Virginia.

Actually... its the frequency... Kevin

60 Hz is just about the same freq that your nervous system runs on.... so it shorts out your system... and your heart stops even if the electricity does not run across your heart.

High voltage, high amperage, shocks at high Frequencies will burn you... but the damage is usually localized to near the path from where the electricity enters, passes through, then leaves, your body.

Do you NOT think they will do the same to DeSantis? Look what they did to Nixon - the same thing these heathens and cretins do to outsiders. Except... Is DeSantis an outsider? We do not know yet.

I did not vote for Trump in the 2016 primary and immediately regretted it. What that man and his family has endured for the last six years is extraordinary to say the least. I will crawl over broken glass naked to vote for him agian.
