The school principal ended our last conversation this week with words that are haunting, and that deeply reflect the depth of the crisis in a county coming undone:  "You know us. You know us for a very long time. Please do not leave us alone here."

I'm impressed you're following a Boston Globe reporter.   

Every POTUS dropped a ball.   Biden had three extra months to do a proper airlift and he let his administration drag its feet and botched it.   Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires...and presidencies.   The people back in 2001 who thought a US occupation could do any good,  either for antiterrorism or for womens rights,  were fools.   Ideology makes people blind and deaf.

Indeed.
Rambo 3 showed why invading Afghanistan was lunacy.
Anyway, 5 minutes ago is history, and none of it can be changed. It can only be learnt from.

Folks have had enough of these so called moderates who are doing their best to kill Bidens policies.

Taliban has outdoor death chambers, people hanged on cranes and left swinging on public display.
Not much different from TX and OK, ...premeditated, cold-blooded killing by the state.

US has none of what you described.

The Tony Awards bombed Sunday Night with just 2.6 million viewers/ just half of the broadcast audience of a year ago. The show did edge out Supermarket Sweep

Wokeness does come with a price

More than 130 federal judges have violated U.S. law and judicial ethics by overseeing court cases involving companies in which they or their family owned stock....

What's always clear is that,  behind every dishonest public official, is an electorate where a big fraction do not prize honesty.   American politics (and it's not just America) is tribal,  and all the tribes value holding a power position over the abstract good of having honest ethical public servants.

Not to disturb your non sequitur with facts,  but wasn't the theater season covered by this ceremony the one where most people couldn't go to the theaters?

Overton Window seems to be shifting again on what politicians can say to get attention.

Watch him get a quarter of the votes for talking like an insane fascist clown.

Surely TX and OK aren't having Christmas this year...after very deliberately breaking the 6th Commandment.

Oh yes it does.
Federally and still in some states, ...said states, I've been informed in this forum are basically like countries making their own laws.
No more hangings, no cranes, indoor death chambers instead...the last part is correct though.
They're so proud of their death chamber/s in TX they have models on display.
Brick building...that resembles the bricks at Auschwitz.
Sends shivers down my spine...not 57% of Americans though, they are in favour of it all.
