I hear you, buddy. I don’t understand the temptation of power, and I’m glad I don’t. Freedom is my ultimate temptation, and it has been stripped from all of us. But live day by day. I hope your day gets better because you have made someone’s life special. Hang in there.
I rationalize it as this ... I have a great husband, 3 beautiful children. They're 29, 24 and 20 1/2. They'd be fine without me .. as in they're independent kids and don't "need" me. My husband .. well, he can cook and do laundry and he'd spend his time playing his guitar without me ever saying "that's enough".
I guess my point is that if I wasn't here, people might miss me but they won't miss what I do for them. Does that make sense? I'm not in any way having issues of harming myself -- just if something happened, oh well.
And I haven't said anything here that I haven't said to my husband and one of my kids so they're well aware of my "whatever" attitude.

No they wouldn’t. I’ve had that mindset before and you have a false perception on how people think of you and value you. They’d be devastated if you departed this world. Stay in there.

No she’s the one that’s pissed that a male Israeli journalist didn’t introduce himself as Israeli and thus gave a bullshite interview. Basically outside of UAE and Qatar, if someone knows you’re Israeli in the Middle East, you’re getting killed.

No, she's bitching that the journalist didn't walk up to a Talib wearing a hat with a big flashing Star of David on it and an arrow pointing down with the word "Jew" in blinking lights on it.
She's claiming that unless a journalist shows up with a detailed biography and CV to hand the interviewee, the interview is unethical.
frick her.

And here’s the transcript of Stephanolpolis’s interview with Biden: ABC
…I mean what in the actual frick is this shite? It’s just gibberish. I can’t make any sense of it, so I can only imagine how bad the video looks on this.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Still a lotta pandemonium outside the airport.
BIDEN: Oh, there is. But, look, b-- but no one's being killed right now, God forgive me if I'm wrong about that, but no one's being killed right now. People are-- we got 1,000-somewhat, 1,200 out, yesterday, a couple thousand today. And it's increasing. We're gonna get those people out.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But we've all seen the pictures. We've seen those hundreds of people packed into a C-17. You've seen Afghans falling--
BIDEN: That was four days ago, five days ago.
STEPHANOPOULOS: What did you think when you first saw those pictures?
BIDEN: What I thought was we ha-- we have to gain control of this. We have to move this more quickly. We have to move in a way in which we can take control of that airport. And we did.

Even CNN has had enough of this bullshite. “If this isn’t failure, what does failure look like exactly?!”
Good for Clarissa Ward. She’s actually doing her fricking job.

So what actually happened is on Sunday she was back in her studio where she took off her head scarf. Even before the Taliban took over, in the streets she wore her head scarf, so it really more depends if she’s around the locals or not if she wears the attire.

“I’m not sure if I would have predicted, George, nor you or anyone else that when we decided to leave that they’d provide safe passage for Americans to get out.”
You know this explains why Biden said that Hunter is the smartest guy he knows. He’s a narcissist who thinks everyone is as stupid as he and his piece of shite son are. Even before his senility kicked in, he has a room temperature IQ. I think 9 out of 10 people in this country would probably think through getting American civilians out of Afghanistan before the military. “No one else would think that through” these guys would think that through:

No, she's basically repeating the "sneaky Jew" trope without saying it upfront

Ah okay so the picture everyone was sharing was misinterpreted. Got it

Jesus fricking Christ. What kind of follow up question is this?

Yeah trying to read that was a chore. And I still don't quite grasp what he said.
