It's hard to feel bad when so many people voted for this and even cheered for a shady election because they ate up media/bigtech/corporate propaganda.

hell I would have voted to get out of Afghanistan, one of the many reasons I voted Trump. I know he would not have left a trove of military equipment behind for them.

Hell, getting out of Afghanistan was one of Trump's issues he based his platform on.
It seems like the memory that people have only lasts as long as a news cycle these days. Before the election, when Trump was advocating for the withdraw of the troops, Democrats and their supporters were vehemently against the idea. They became insistently pro-war, using the reasoning of "we need to keep people there, otherwise it will destabilize the entire area!"
Their opposition was even in news outlets, as seen here: https://postimg.cc/RJM6h3wd
The moment the party decides to switch its position, suddenly their opinions do a complete 180 and they pretend they were in support of it all along. These people have no individual beliefs or thoughts -- only blind loyalty to whatever they're told their position should be.

What many of them fail to realize in the current conversation happening, is that no one was opposed to Biden withdrawing from there. They're angry over the method it was executed and the systemic failures we witnessed across the board at every level. I guess those who are trying to make that point fail to realize they're speaking to people who lack critical thinking and the ability for abstract thought.

That doesn't look like a regular hanging, even with the spin put on by the helicopter's down draft. Might be a torture technique.

They probably deserved it. Fuck 'em. I don't care anymore.

No one should be complaining about helicopter rides.

I see an odd disconnect between the apparent Scarface reenactment scene and your attitude towards the likes of your "people" starring in such videos.
