Emphasis mine

There are people on the radio this morning saying we should have talks with the Taliban cause they are not as bad as ISIS-K....
Yeah, the Taliban only want to take Afghanistan back to the 10th Century, while ISIS - K want to go all the way back to the 7th. Some difference 👀. All the while LGBTQI are at risk of real harm, as are women and girls and minority religious and ethnic groups, at the hands of competing cray cray death cults.

Disinformation 101 from the neo GOP wankers... Anything for a win, truth be damned
As Trump said recently "If you say it enough and keep saying it, they'll start to believe you." How very fascist of him. Heh.

When utter charlatans try to fake empathy this is what you get. It might be funny if so many lives were not on the line. What the actual have we done to deserve this level of horrid?
'The worst possible government led by the worst possible man at the worst possible time.'

Trump defeated ISIS my arse. He owns all of this, not that any of them will ever take responsibility of course.

This should be played at every 'first world problems privileged anti-vaxer march' in the west...
The noise of those beeps. Horrid.

I am not bashing Biden in this article, I understand intellectually that Afghanistan has to be seen in the rear-view mirror for so many reasons, but I hate it. I blame Trump for the rapid takeover by the Taliban he let out of prison 3 years ago, and, I will condemn him and his reckless administration for what is about to befall the women and girls of Afghanistan, for ever, and I hate them for it.

I know that for most in the West, brown women and girls a world away are not a priority, but as someone who contributed to charities for women and girls just trying to stay alive under the last Taliban death cult, I hate it. You can be very sure when Tump and Pompeo were sucking Taliban dick for short term headlines, they gave not one moment of thought to what a resurgent Taliban would mean for women and girls. And here we are.

I hate that woman are not only looking down the lens of losing their hard-won freedoms over the last 20 years but that, as sure as night follows day, women are going to lose their lives as we leave. I hate the fact that the women who stood up for and supported and engaged with civic society over the last 20 years are those now most at risk from the Taliban. Female singers, soccer players, judges, newsreaders, legislators, teachers to name a few are all about to be targeted, with execution or forced marriage, depending on their age, being the most likely outcomes.

Women are being turned away from universities and places of work.

Girls are being turned away from school.

The Taliban are already going door to door and the Chador has doubled in price.

I hate it.

And it not just on the domestic stage either. As Ailbhe Rea writes so eloquently in the New Statesman morning call today:

The priority at today's call will be to coordinate the humanitarian and refugee resettlement response to the crisis, where the Prime Minister will, again, hope to assume a leadership role. But that is where his past foreign policy decisions will come back to bite him. The aid that the UK has promised to Afghanistan in recent weeks is still lower than the 2019 level, weakening Johnson's scope to secure ambitious aid commitments from allies. Depending on how the G7 call goes today, it could well be that the collapse of Afghanistan comes to exemplify the weakened and confused place of "Global Britain" on the world stage - drifting from the US, and oscillating between leadership and retreat on global issues.
Emphasis mine

Fun times continue unabated 👀

Next level stupid. Bat shit cray cray has nothing on this deadly death cult nonsense. Not only do they not want you to get vaccinated - but when you inevitably end up drowning in your own lungs, they do not want you to have access to the very kit that may save your life.

Next level death cult.

Zero gravitas...

Not the first and certainly not the last. The death cult is asking a lot of its members these days.

Contempt for the conman, compassion for the conned. He was one of the conmen so thoughts and prayers...
