I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Now now we heard some reports about the brutal Taliban violating human rights for killing some ISIS types without a trial or some bullshit like that.


Which is extra hilarious if you remember all the trials the US held for suspected terrorists.

What are we, if not our memories? Arguably the Biden that swore that oath is a different Biden. Therefore that Biden is dead and Kamala is rightful queen.

Did he take it twice? I don’t feel like looking it up but I thought he said the correct line after Roberts said the wrong line and people were saying that made it invalid. If he took it again over that then he’s a giant coward which he kind of is so idk but yeah

over the course of the Afghan war, a cottage industry of bombing scavengers developed, guys who would go to places where the US had done a strike and collect all the debris and unexploded ordnance to resell, mostly to the Taliban

this became so lucrative that you'd have guys 'tipping off' the US about fake 'Taliban positions' in the middle of nowhere, entirely so the US would drop a bomb there for them to come steal the remnants of
