At the height of its power and cruelty the Soviet Union could not tame Afghanistan. They used gas. They dropped bombs disguised as toys so kids would take them home. They went full on psycho and failed. (It helped that we funded the people they were fighting though that bit us in the ass later.)

The Mongols themselves failed to fully conquer the region we call Afghanistan. So did the British, then the Soviet Union, and then us.

It is long past time for us to leave.

The longer it takes the more of our soldiers will die in a fruitless quest to tame a country that wants to remain wild.

In other news, John Kerry foolishly believes that he won't be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.

I agree with Barr on this. Investigating and trying former presidents is the road to ruin.

When people who have power think that giving up the power will cause them to end up in jail then they will stop trying to peacefully transfer power. The best course is to indict everyone involved right up to Biden.

Ruin Obama's reputation along with it. Show the world through multiple trials how deep he was involved in this coup. Ruin everyone else that helped even a tiny bit but let Obama stand there looking like a traitor.

When I was a kid I made nooses all the time out of rope and string. But that was because of westerns. I didn't learn about lynchings being a thing till high school.

It is a convenient staging point to other parts of the world. Our global reach does partially depend on these far flung military bases.

At 55s when the cop says "Do I want to deal the with this dude right now?" you can just hear the demoralizing effect of weak elected officials.

The officer knows that he will not be supported if anything goes wrong.

Why does something that isn't a country or state have a flag?

Because flags are cheap to manufacture and a recognizable flag lets everyone know whose side you are on.

Mcdonalds has a flag. Pretty much any major corporation has a flag. Even the gays have a flag.

At this point I'm just hoping that Trump sends in the National Guard to put down the insurrection.

On the flip side we are also all better off if America can see the folly of these idiots.

He has a typo. Graff is supposed to be graft in the agricultural sense of grafting a branch onto a tree. (a common method in cultivating fruit trees)

If you want to read the bible and understand the context the New International Version with commentary is a good option. There are several versions out there.

Commentary versions of bibles have biblical scholars who provide extra information (commentary) for understanding passages of the bible.

I've read the bible front to back a couple times and grew up in a religious family and the later parts of the Old Testament is a tough read. So I suggest you start with the New Testament and get a solid understanding of that.

Huh, Antifa wants to defund the police but then sets up their own city and immediately tries to set up a military because they are in full rebellion. Time to hang some traitors.

Who will stop you from forming your own state and electing 2 senators and a new governor?

The national guard. Also you don't just get to join the USA. Statehood must be approved by Congress.

Still does not justify what the officer did.

The rioting and looting is not justified either.

So we are still where we started before this was posted.

Biden & his team are so far behind Trump and his team. Nobody cares about Corona right now. They want law & order. Business owners hit by the Chinese Lung Rot want to know their place of work will not be destroyed in an orgy of fire and looting.

Meanwhile Biden's all "Hey I have a mask on for safety." If the Dems had any sense they would replace this idiot.

The lesson here is that every small business needs to sell a couple "essential" items so they can claim they are an essential business.

If the lawyer writes it and he signs it as his words then it creates the appearance that he is responding personally. Or his lawyer is gonna try to go en banc and get the whole appeals court into the deal hoping to get enough liberals to let Sullivan do what he wants.

Which probably means that Flynn will have to appeal it to the Supreme Court where he will almost certainly find relief. Then the Media & Dems will act like the conservative justices have gone rogue in tell this Judge to take a routine action of dismissing the case.

Joe Rogan says a lot when the day is long.

In the end he seems to be a rudderless pot head who just agrees with the last thing he heard someone say.

For me the plus side is that people will be less willing to accept the next shut down after seeing how it affected their business and lives.

I have zero problem with a black guy playing Scarface. There are plenty of black Cubans it can work with the character.

But Mike B Jordan does not look like a tough guy. I doubt he can come across as a dangerous drug lord.

God, I hope they replace him. I don't want that corrupt senile pedophile having any chance of becoming president.

Really any Dem they pick is going to be a disaster but I think they would all be a step up from Joe.

I think it is worth the price of a rental and a couple hours to watch it.

It is a slow movie but interesting.
