Piss on cannons, get the wood chipper.

What an insulting display against US! This is disgusting beyond words I can use.

Right. That’s how they’re packaging it, trying to pass it off as a successfultroop withdrawal.

This man has no character. He should have resigned. No one with self respect would have anything to do with this Administration.

Do you know how the electric chair came to be used as an execution means?

"We have developed an over-the-horizon capability to deal with the terrorist threat in Afghanistan as it exists today."

What the hell does that even mean? Over-the-horizon? Where did Biteme and handlers find these people? Maybe he should have said, "We have looked over-the-rainbow to deal with the man-behind-the-curtain of terrorism." How old are these people and who placed them in these positions of importance?

I no longer doubt that history will show this Biteme administration to be the worse ever. Trump made some disloyal appointments, but Biteme and his appointments are the level of middle-school. Sheesh.

Not really. I just looked it up and it said this in wikipedia FWIW

“This execution method, conceived in 1881 by a Buffalo, New York, dentist named Alfred P. Southwick, was developed throughout the 1880s as a supposed humane alternative to hanging, and first used in 1890.”

I don't believe a word of this, along with the other tripe he was spouting. The only thing this administration can do correctly is to project weakness.

Odd, as that’s not what I have heard/read.
Around that time Edison and Tesla were competing in the “War of the Currents”. Tesla was AC, Edison was DC.
Edison wanted to show how dangerous AC was, so he started publicly electrocuting stray dogs. He even electrocuted an elephant. He then got prisons to use AC electric chairs for executions.

When it comes to the offices of “national security”, I don’t care what this sounds like, it is an office that must be filled by a man. No (b)until!

...a Rhodes Scholar, attorney, and journalist...

Yeah. That's who I want in charge of military logistics. They're still pretending that the only issue is whether, and not how, we withdrew. Because "how" is a total sh*tshow.

Thomas Edison wanted to show that Nikola Tesla’s AC was dangerous.

From the videos it looks like the Taliban is also in hiding. Where is the big victorious army anyway? Certainly not on any news station including Aljazeera. So far it looks like they conquered the country with about 20 guys. This is starting to smell like stinky cheese.

You never know. The janitors are probably the only people working in the White House right now. Volunteer to do a quick news brief and pick up a few extra bucks in the next paycheck. /s

Idiot probably doesn’t even know what over-the-horizon capability means. He’s just a parrot.
