The truth about 9/11 and its aftermath

There are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.

A despicable scumbag

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

Shouldn't somebody be fired for such gross incompetence?

CBS News ran a claim that "thousands of 9/11 victims' families" want Mamdani banned. The petition organizer told a journalist she has no actual list and the 300 figure was just an estimate. CBS News has since corrected its coverage

The definition of corruption

Chris Murphy: "Why did Trump choose these 3 countries to go for his first major foreign trip? It's not because these are our most important allies or the most important countries in the world. It's because these are the 3 countries willing to pay him off ... this is the definition of corruption."

Face it: bin Laden won

America is falling, too--it's just taking a little longer


 Boris Johnson, the U.K. Prime Minister, gave a speech this week wherein he claimed that the terrorist attacks in America on 9/11/01 failed to shake our belief in freedom and democracy, and did not divide us.  His statement was nothing more than platitudinous bullshit--and especially rich coming from a man whose nation recently decided to disassociate itself from the European union, in large part driven by a right wing that sent their crazy into overdrive beginning on...9/12/01.

Whether or not Osama bin Laden, as he orchestrated the September 11th attacks, foresaw the depths to which the republican party would sink (my guess is--after seeing the circus they made of Bill Clinton's impeachment over an extramarital affair--he knew) is debatable, but his plan to discombobulate America worked to a tee.  Make no mistake--bin Laden was not a fool and knew there was no way Al Qaeda could ever come close to destroying America, but that America was perfectly capable of destroying itself.  

Witness George W. Bush's foray into Afghanistan, which started as an exercise to capture and kill bin Laden but which became a multitrillion dollar disaster because Bush and his cabal turned it into a failed effort at nation building (the U.K. and Russia's failed efforts in the 20the century should have been a major clue that it was a fool's errand).  Republicans used fear of brown people to push through electoral victories in 2002 before embarking on another multitrillion boondoggle in Iraq, and the fissures between Americans at a time when we should have been united began to show.  Bush badly mangled the response to Hurricane Katrina (and republicans again showed just how little they cared about anybody who wasn't white), and then obliviously led us into the biggest economic calamity since the Great Depression., both because he was too worried about revenge to worry about other dangers to America.

Every single one of these wounds was self-inflicted by a party hell bent on executing its increasingly misguided worldview regardless of the cost.

Republicans then proceeded to take a bold initiative--healthcare for all Americans which every other democratic nation in the world already had--and turned it into an issue to further divide us and effectively sabotaging anything else President Obama could accomplish that would help the American people.  In 2016, republicans gladly accepted help from a nation (Russia) that is our sworn enemy to once again take power, and Donald Trump promptly destroyed the United States standing in the world before so overwhelmingly botching a pandemic that over 650,000 Americans died on his watch, causing more deaths than any war America had ever fought.  And most of it because he hoped that people dying in blue states would help lead to his re-election.  It did not.

But never fear, unable to win Trump began lying about the outcome of an election he lost handily, and like the dutiful cult they are, republicans across America began to implement voter suppression laws (mostly aimed at people of color) to ensure future victory.  And to put the icing on the cake, their supporters are refusing to wear masks and get vaccinated against a deadly mutation of the coronavirus to help protect their fellow Americans, and their leadership is actively sabotaging our economy.

So please tell me again how republicans believe in democracy or in any way want to be united with any American that isn't white or has a different political viewpoint.  Johnson's words, like those coming out of any conservative's mouth these days, are utter horseshit.

Yes, Osama bin Laden is dead, but his fellow Muslims believe he's in heaven surrounded by thousands of virgins while republicans are doing their damnedest to turn America into an autocratic theocracy by combining the worst of the Taliban's and Vladimir Putin's fascist playbooks.  

Osama bin Laden played republicans for the fools he knew they were, and the rest of America has suffered untold economic and health related harm because he so completely outplayed them.

Calling bullshit

On CNN today, Lindsay Graham, in light of the attacks in Paris, predicted there will be another 9/11 in America but promised that if he were elected President, he would not let it happen.

Horseshit.

While I don't discount the possibility of another terrorism attack on American soil, and ignoring the fact that Graham has as much chance as I do of being our next President and I'm not wasting Americans' time on a one trick pony campaign, unless Graham has Heroes type powers heretofore undisclosed to the rest of us, the Paris attacks clearly show that no one, neither Democrat nor republican, can guarantee there will not be another attack on Americans.

You can take all the precautions you want, flex America's muscle all you want, but as Pope Francis said today this is a "piecemeal third world war" and no amount of planning or might can stop the nonsensical.

Peace,
emaycee

I can't hear you!

For all their bluster (and that's what it is--republicans are little more than fucking fraidy cats who want anybody but themselves to do the dirty and dangerous work) about Friday's attacks in Paris, here are four things they won't tell the American people:

  • Republicans will demonize the Syrian refugees and call for walls! border security! but the murderous cretins who carried out these attacks are exactly what the refugees are trying to escape.
  • You can forget those crockofshit tears republicans are shedding for the French--the right absolutely despises France and its people.
  • There will be more Americans killed in the next five days by guns than were killed in the Paris attacks--and unlike Paris, the American deaths will continue ad infinitum.
  • Most importantly, this whole mess is republicans fault.  From the Bush administration's having its head up its ass on 9/11, to their piss poor operation of the war in Afghanistan, to the ill-advised and ill-conceived Iraq War, to their disastrous torture program,  republicans have done more to create utter chaos and stoke hatred than President Obama could in ten lifetimes.
And this has been your daily dose of reality.
