Trump sitting there with his "I'm working on a tweet to handle this joker" face on.

She’s definitely not getting her own meme coin.

Absolute bull**** by Trump, but it's been 3 years since we left Afghanistan, why the hell is this still an issue?

It’s the administration where cruelty is the whole point.

The ChatGPT answer. It makes sense 

Quote

The process of evacuating people from Afghanistan following the U.S. withdrawal in August 2021 has been slow and complex due to several factors:

1. Bureaucratic Challenges: Navigating the immigration and visa processes, such as the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program, has been notoriously slow and cumbersome, with extensive paperwork and security checks delaying approvals.

2. Volume of Applications: Tens of thousands of Afghans applied for evacuation under various programs, including the SIV, humanitarian parole, and refugee programs. This overwhelming demand has created significant backlogs.

3. Security Concerns: Verifying the identities and backgrounds of applicants to prevent potential security risks has added delays to the process.

4. Lack of Infrastructure: After the U.S. withdrawal, there was no longer a U.S. presence in Afghanistan to process applications locally. This forced applicants to find ways to leave Afghanistan independently to complete their cases from third countries.

5. Taliban Control: The Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan has made it more difficult and dangerous for those seeking evacuation. Many people fear retaliation and have had to hide or flee to neighboring countries, adding further logistical and legal hurdles.

6. Coordination Issues: Efforts to evacuate Afghans have involved multiple governments, NGOs, and private organizations, sometimes resulting in a lack of streamlined coordination.

7. Political Will and Prioritization: While the U.S. government has expressed commitment to supporting Afghan allies, shifting political priorities and limited resources have slowed the process.

 

These challenges underscore the difficulty of large-scale evacuation efforts in the aftermath of a military withdrawal. However, advocacy groups and some governments continue to push for faster solutions.

Sad that you present yourself as a man with character, but your indifference tells us a different story.

"A rightwing extremist boasted of driving from Texas to Minneapolis to help set fire to a police precinct during the George Floyd protests, federal prosecutors said.

US attorney Erica MacDonald said on Friday that she had charged Ivan Harrison Hunter, a 26-year-old Texas resident, with traveling across state lines to participate in a riot. The charges are the latest example of far-right extremists attempting to use violence to escalate national protests against police brutality into an uprising against the government, and even full civil war.

The case also reveals the extent of the coordination between violent members of the nascent far-right “Boogaloo Bois” movement operating in different cities across the country.

According to the criminal complaint against Hunter, on 26 May, as intense protests broke out in Minneapolis over the killing of George Floyd by a city police officer, a “Boogaloo Boi” based in Minnesota posted a public Facebook message: “I need a headcount.”

Hunter, a resident of Boerne, Texas, which is roughly 1,200 miles away, responded: “72 hours out.”

Another “Boogaloo Boi”, based in North Carolina, posted a public message the same day: “Lock and load boys,” he wrote, adding, “the national network is going off.”

"I would say... those first days when there were riots...I could smell the burning tyres...that was a very real thing...And I kept the windows open for as long I could because I felt that was such a touchstone of what was happening," Gwen Walz could be heard saying in the now viral video.

“Governor Walz had the ability and duty to use force and law enforcement to stop criminal violence, but he did not,” said a 2020 Minnesota Senate report on the riots, published at a time when Republicans controlled that chamber. “Governor Walz was not willing to do what was necessary to stop the rioting right away because he was having a philosophical debate about whether the use of force should be used to stop violence.”
