George W Bush has issued a statement on the situation in Afghanistan, and there are not enough shoes in the world to adequately respond to it. “Laura and I have been watching the tragic events unfolding in Afghanistan with deep sadness,” the Hague fugitive writes. “Our hearts are heavy for both the Afghan people who have suffered so much and for the Americans and NATO allies who have sacrificed so much.” Bush tells the US Armed Forces, diplomatic corps, and intelligence community how proud he and his wife are of their “sacrifice” and “courage” and that they “kept America safe” and “made America proud” with their decades-long occupation which accomplished literally nothing besides making horrible people very rich. And, it won’t surprise you to learn, the statement contains exactly zero apologies to anyone for anything. Can you believe this person? Imagine being George W Bush in the middle of August 2021 and saying to yourself, “I know just what people need: a pep talk on Afghanistan from me, George W Bush!” I mean, the gall. The absolute gall. This is after all the same man who ordered the disastrous invasion in the first place under the justification of the plot hole-riddled 9/11 narrative after already having decided to oust the Taliban a month before the towers came down. The same man who rejected the Taliban’s offer to turn over Osama Bin Laden in October 2001 if the US would just show proof that he is guilty and end its bombing campaign. The same man who repeatedly rejected Taliban offers to surrender after the invasion began. The same man who initiated decades of lies about what was happening in Afghanistan in order to justify an occupation maintained for power and profit. And after all that phony hand-wringing about “the oppressed people of Afghanistan“, the United States is after twenty years of occupation leaving the Afghan people the single most miserable population of any nation on earth. After all that phony hand-wringing about “the Taliban’s war on women“, Afghanistan has remained the worst place in the world to be a woman throughout the entirety of the occupation. And it is entirely the fault of the US-centralized empire. The Taliban only came to power in the first place because the US backed their predecessors (whom they also actively radicalized) against the Soviet Union and its leftist Afghan allies in the eighties, then Bush invaded and rained explosives from the sky for twenty years, killing hundreds of thousands of people. After four decades of interventionism and two decades of full-scale occupation following generations of shocking savagery and terrorism being inflicted upon the Afghan people by the British, it is perfectly fair to say that one hundred percent of Afghanistan’s problems today can be blamed entirely on the US and its allies. So now, as the nation reverts back to Taliban control after a long and sadistic intermission and many Afghans are so fearful that some fell to their deaths desperately clinging to departing US military planes, it would be a fantastic time for George W Bush to shut the fuck up. But George W Bush did not shut the fuck up. Not only did George W Bush not shut the fuck up, but Bush administration war architects like John Bolton and Paul Wolfowitz are being interviewed by the mass media for their opinions on whether it was wise to finally end one of Bush’s wars. Bolton was given a platform on NPR to tell the world that the withdrawal is a “catastrophic failure of American leadership” and that the US should intervene to oust the Taliban once again. Wolfowitz was interviewed by BBC Radio where he said he feels “deep trepidation” about the withdrawal and called it a boon to China and to terrorists everywhere. Yeah that’s sane and normal. Hello I’m a very serious newscaster; now here to explain what’s happening in Afghanistan let’s turn to a Bush administration PNAC neocon who’s helped create mountains of corpses and who is literally always wrong about literally everything. This could only happen in a media environment where blatant war propaganda is routinely disguised as news reporting. What the US empire has done to Afghanistan is unforgivable. Utterly unforgivable. Never forgive those monsters. Never forget what they did to that poor country. Never forget that the next time you are asked to support another act of US military interventionism it will with absolute certainty be based on lies, fail to accomplish what its proponents claim, end in disaster, result in many broken promises to all parties involved, cost trillions of dollars, and benefit nobody but the very worst among us.

I am trying to imagine how that headline would look in 36-point at top of page one on some sordid sewer of journalism like the New York Times.

From George II to the Biden. From the ridiculous to the even more ridiculous.
This bastard should have been hung for what he did.
I am trying to imagine how that headline would look in 36-point at top of page one on some sordid sewer of journalism like the New York Times. On 9-11-2001, W was in Florida at a grade school so he could read with the children. One of his associates came in and told him planes had just hit the Twin Towers. He should have excused himself. But he kept reading. The only problem is the book was UPSIDE DOWN. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Did he actually say that, or did we make it up because he was such a shitbag? And HTAF did I end up being older than O'boingo? Am I a dog or something? My 60th was a lot longer than a couple weeks ago. At least that's what my new 'starred' license says. Ooooooh, I'm DHS approved. Took a couple, three months to get that shit around. I'm good for six years, I'll never need another. My dumbass older sister was afraid she wouldn't be able to fly without vax so she did it. I never figured I'd be the last one standing. "It is so strange the way things turn.' God, I love that late 70s early 80s hair on chicks. Now it's jailhouse tats and purple crew cuts. Blech. Godfrey Smith: Mike, I wouldn't worry. Prosperity is just around the corner. That might've been photoshop. Who knows anymore? Godfrey Smith: Mike, I wouldn't worry. Prosperity is just around the corner. “ On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. ” ~ H.

I was a little busy today. When I wasn't posting propaganda (the truth) here, I went and set the love of my life 10 year old's future in stone. My older sister's trajectory is not good now that she's vaxxed. While I was out, I figured that I might as well get my whiny-assed former friend the birthday present he demanded last time I saw him (that's so fucking gay). Men don't worry about birthdays. He's on his vaxxed way out, what's 30 bux? Here's where you come in Strait, I bought him a 100' foot airhose and put the appropriate fittings on it. It was the cheapest that I could find at harbor freight today. What the fuck is it with me knowing fellas that need air hoses? Your squirt is cute too. Anytime I go outside the wire of late, I always wear my old 3M safety vest. The sheep's fealty to any kind of authority is astounding. Well, it keeps the Karins and the sheeps away. Godfrey Smith: Mike, I wouldn't worry. Prosperity is just around the corner. We all put a whole lot of Kentucky windage into that, to be fair. Shit, with Bidet and Kameltoe, the Babylon Bee writers only have to spend 10 minutes a day working, at best. My freelance anti-Bidet propaganda only involves me reposting shit from other truth-tellers. Usually ends about 12:00 EDT time. I'm just hoping I get through to some lurkers. No big joint would have me, what's the point? Check out my lawn guy on Odysee. odysee.com/@DJLJ:c Major conspiracy theorist. What he misses, I catch. That's my pseudo- son. Him and Jayanna won't want for much while I'm alive, they'll be in damn good shape when I'm gone. My dumbass older sister's future is bleak. She got the death shots. "Ooooh, maybe committing suicide will let me be free." OK, Mary. Godfrey Smith: Mike, I wouldn't worry. Prosperity is just around the corner. Astute observation! I never thought of wearing a costume -- that's a great idea. Maybe I'll try wearing a safety vest and my hard hat the next time I go out. I have a T-shirt with a printed-on cop-looking badge that says "OFFICIAL" left over from my former life as martial arts instructor and tournament referee. That got me offered the first responder discount at a restaurant once. I declined. I use my air tools a lot more often now since getting the auto-rewind hose reel. I have to back blow the pressure regulator about every other time I use my gas grill.
When I was able to really work, it involved night-time skunking around checking security light patterns. Been hassled a few times, a 3M vest makes that go away. You look 'official'. In my work truck, when McGruff pulls me over and asks, "Have you been drinking?" My reply is "Does it look like I've been on a date? Been working." It's worked. You'd have to see Weyland Yutani One. Fake company names are in my blood. Normally I drive the 93 Sonoma in the daytime. I like the game, man. (Edit) Today with a banker that kept me waiting... Mr. Esso, what can I do for you? Are you working now? No, I need to change the transfer-on-death or what I think you might call the designated beneficiary on my accounts. [bullshit nonsense ensues and the event ends] Mr Esso, thank you. You have been vaxxed, Right? The CU in FTW says you can't come in unless you're masked or vaxxed. What a fucked up day. Godfrey Smith: Mike, I wouldn't worry. Prosperity is just around the corner. If you PM your cell phone number, I'll send you a great pic of my lawn guy (a real man) and my neighbor's in a dress (60+ y/o man) together. It's a classic. Once in a lifetime pic. Sling Blade was famous for a little bit. I call Jon 'Sling Blade' because I asked him to hit a stump in my yard with a sledgehammer. My crippled up hands can't do that shit anymore. The first time he hit it, it broke my hands just watching. He didn't waste any time hitting it again, and it was out. It was rotten, but he gave it a helluva whack. Sling Blade seemed cooler than Carl Childers.
Godfrey Smith: Mike, I wouldn't worry. Prosperity is just around the corner. That is absolutely one of the best film clips ever. ;)

Bush Jr. should be planning to visit his criminal daddy soon. I think he should take the entire fucking satan worshiping family with him.

As one commenter observed, "Before Elizabeth Hurley, there was Kelly LeBrock." Agree.
