In early July, President Joe Biden informed the American people of the coming drawdown of U.S. forces from Afghanistan after a 20-year occupation. The evacuation would be “secure and orderly,” he said, with little chance of a Taliban takeover. “The likelihood there’s going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely,” he said. Little more than a month later, Biden has been proven wrong on all counts. The Taliban took over Afghanistan on Sunday, entering the capital city of Kabul with no resistance after a two-week-long blitz in which multiple provincial capitals fell into the insurgents’ hands.

Raw Story explains what happened: As the former presidents were seated at the Washington National Cathedral on Thursday, a CBS panel noted that Bush snubbed the president-elect.

  • It's Official: Trump Will Be The First Convicted Felon President
    The Daily Dot, Friday - 01/10/2025 - 06:57 AM

    It's official: DONALD TRUMP WILL BE THE FIRST CONVICTED FELON PRESIDENT. His last ditch effort to delay sentencing in the New York hush money case has failed. The highly corrupt Supreme Court actually did the right thing - barely - by refusing to delay Donald Trump’s sentencing. Barring an act of God (or a fake medical emergency), Trump will be the first person to be officially classified as a "FELON" to serve as President. Mazel tov! Trump will be sentenced on Friday after being convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment made to Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 election.

  • TRUMP BEGS As CRIMINAL SENTENCING Threatens His Small Hands
    The Daily Dot, Friday - 01/10/2025 - 06:56 AM

    Convicted felon Donald Trump used his final Phone-A-Friend lifeline to beg 6 Republicans-in-robes on our Supreme Court to save him from a sentencing. Trump's half-handpicked SCOTUS, not including its 2 most venal, vain & villainous sewer-slurpers, Thomas & Alito, were his last chance to stop Judge Merchan's criminal sentencing of his spray-tanned-jabberwocky arse today on his 34-charge smackdown in the paying-off-the-porn-star case. Yes, I used "were" because last night even they rejected Trump's trumped up appeal.
