In reply to the discussion: If trump did what Biden did in Afghanistan before the election, would we have supported it?? [View all]Sympthsical
(11,178 posts)There's one making the rounds of the bloody (quite dead) child. If you know what I mean, you know what I mean. There would've been ten threads here on that one alone were it a Republican president.
The downplaying is interesting. I saw, "This is no worse than an airport in New York," a few minutes ago. Like, Jesus, really? Lots of machine gun fire and beatings and deaths in your typical Atlantic City run?
And the moral equivalence. "Did you know America has a history of mistreating women, too?" Yeah, we're just like Afghanistan. Spot the difference, eh?
When facepalming just isn't enough. At this point, I doubt the possession of eyes. You first have to have them in order to turn a blind one.
The fact that, "I love the job Biden is generally doing as president, but the administration's handling of the withdrawal is a shitshow," is just. so. difficult. to get out of one's mouth due to partisanship is unreal.
