None of those are useful attitudes. It’s bad, yes, but it CAN BE WORKED ON … if we don’t give up, if we don’t give in to the obscenely rich and their minions and if we keep on shoveling.
It’s a hoax like Covid. A reporter in MS from MSNBC was reporting on IDA and some Kevin charged at him screaming that he was lying!! Reality is not an option!
You.. we.. are not willing to pay the price to do much about it. Give up driving.. flying.. air conditioning.. electric lights.. cooking.. concrete.. asphalt.. plastic.
The thing is our earth can handle/absorb “some” of all of that but not when ~8 billion want those things.
Losing 13 brave soldiers who served this Nation does bring “gloom” and reverence. They gave the last full measure of devotion. Their service, and sacrifice, made their mission a success when no one thought it possible. Their commander-in-chief knew they could and knew they would. We finally have a president again, and a military that the world has never and can never match. I’d add “OPTIMIST” to the dial.
We need to leave room for optimism. Yes, the climate change scenario looks bad right now, but, since we’ve rejoined the Paris Accord and renewable energy becoming increasingly more affordable, we can still prevent the worst case scenarios from happening. But if we just sit back and say, “what’s the use, this planet is in the crapper!” it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. As James Baldwin wrote, “Not every problem that is faced can be solved, but no problem can be solved that isn’t faced.”
No-willie Willie hasn’t figured out to this day that his guy Bush#1 got us into it while he was still in the CIA – long before he was even Veep. And no-willie Willie couldn’t give you a fact based and logical reason we ever went into Afghanistan in the first place. And nobody in his Turd Reich has ever offered a single idea on how it could have been handled any better. Yet they continue to deny that Rumpy the Orange Turd had no plan for withdrawal, released 5,000 Taliban (including they very same guys running Afghanistan right now), that he never bought it up to congress (oopsie!) or even to the government of Afghanistan. He just did yet another backdoor deal (and without as R. Lee Ermey put it “even the courtesy of a reach around”) and here’s proof – Mike “Pompous (other name for a donky)” Pompeo in his photo op’s with Taliban over different times he met with them.
So, Rumpy and his side clown Pompy undercut their own corrupt Afghan government by secret deals with the Taliban. And y’all want us to believe it’s all Biden fault.
After those deals even the Taliban were amazed by how fast the government and the ANA folded like a house made of straw by a bunch of Turd Reich piggies.
Now I triple dog dare you to come up with facts and sources to deny it and to provide any workable better option for withdrawal. Mind you, it wasn’t the Rump that got out way over 100,000, it was Biden. I’m no big fan of Biden but you lying turds got nothing to offer but pissant whines. Not one damned useful thing. You’re all just yappy little dogs.

Many people don’t want to change until change is forced upon them. Then they whine and complain that somebody shoulda done something!
