Beware of stupid people and people pretending to be stupid for effect...
Right now, Biden is more concerned with salvaging his popularity than with the disaster his incompetence unleashed. And his narrative janitors are doing their best to mop up the blood he's spilled...
1/
If you think "But Trump invited the bad guys to negotiate at Camp David" or "Trump's deal freed a bunch of prisoners" are some sort of gotcha that put this on Trump, you're dumb or you think your followers are... 2/
There are three ways a war ends. Just three. No more, no less. Three.
1 - Win
2 - Negotiate a peace
3- Lose
3/
We've taken Win off the table. Neither Trump nor Biden nor anyone else is willing to take the time, spend money, and spill the blood to win this war. 4/
To win would require a combination of the Boer War tactic of emptying the country side with the Roman tactic of pretty much killing everyone else. We're just not going to do that, so we won't win against tribesmen who just will not give up. 5/
The next option was negotiate a deal. Trump did that. When you negotiate, you negotiate, so asking them to visit Camp David is hardly some shocking concession. And when wars end with a deal, prisoners go free. What, you think any deal would keep them locked up forever? 6/
Trump made a deal. It called for the Taliban to power share and had us withdraw most forces in May. The Taliban broke the deal. They attacked. But Biden did nothing, except lengthen the withdrawal time. He did not enforce the deal. 7/
Biden also took longer to leave than Trump would have, assuming the ridiculous scenario that Trump would continue with the treaty while the Taliban broke their part and not retaliate. So Biden had MORE time to plan and execute a smooth departure. Yet he didn't. 8/
The last alternative is to lose. Biden chose that option. And so did every jerk who complains that Trump negotiated. Win, negotiate or lose. Pick one. If you disqualify negotiating, and you won't win, that leaves losing. If you're willing to lose, own it, loser. 9/
So, their argument, to the extent that it is an argument and not a cheesy ploy to distract from Biden's disgraceful, disastrous failure, is that Trump tried to negotiate a peace, and the Taliban broke the deal, and so Biden had no choice but to lose. Huh? 10/
Baloney. When you hear dumb/dishonest people trying to confuse the strategy (leave Afghanistan) with the tactics (Trump via enforcing the deal, Biden via cutting and running), you know you're being played or in the presence of an idiot. Maybe both. 11/End
My new @Townhallcom column it’s pretty harsh. That’s because the scammers and scammer enablers deserve it.
“Fake Professor Jason Arday was found dead in the wake of being exposed as a complete fraud, and if it were my choice, he would still be alive and suffering the humiliation that should be the result of his crimes. I would prefer that he did not likely choose to kill himself instead of facing the consequences of his actions. My preference is irrelevant. If he decided to do himself in, it’s crushing for his wife and kids, and that was a selfish, cruel, and stupid decision. But it was his decision, as was his decision to commit fraud upon fraud. I don’t celebrate his death, and his death changes nothing. We’re not going to stop rooting out the charlatans.”
The Death of Academic Fraud Jason Arday Won’t Shut Us Up https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2026/08/17/the-death-of-academic-fraud-jason-arday-wont-shut-us-up-n2681316
Former Congresswoman MTG is definitely on her way to MSNOW. She is fun.
Congresswoman Nancy Mace is even more fun! Tattoos are her hot chick/crazy dynamic.
My new @Townhallcom column calls out all the doomers, blackpillers, and whiners!
“Let’s review some of the typical complaints from Team All-Is-Lost. The war in Iran hasn’t yet been conclusively won. Millions upon millions of illegal aliens are still in the United States. We’re paying fat slobs to sit on their butts and gobble down Doritos that our welfare dollars pay for. Republicans are weak and soft, and haven’t passed the SAVE Act. Trust-fund communists are taking over the Democrat Party. The economy under Trump 47 hasn’t yet matched the economy under Trump 45. The budget is still out of control. Bureaucrats keep interfering in our agenda. Judges keep getting in the way of progress. Democrats keep getting in the way of progress. Progressives keep getting in the way of progress.
So, we should whine and cry, right? After all, what has Trump accomplished?
A lot. I don’t need a column for that. I need a book.”
The Doomers Can’t Deny Trump’s Big Wins ...
