Anti-American? Anti-Democracy? Enemy of our everything? Contributing to the overthrow of our govt? All fine so long as you do it with paper and pen instead of guns and bullets:
This is today’s America?!? Remove him from public office immediately. He is an enemy of our State as are the Democrats who continue to permit his involvement in government.
“From #JoeManchin's mouth (on the true-Democrat Senator Jeff Merkley's flagship reforms to protect #VotingRights): “I have made it crystal clear that I do not support the #ForThePeopleAct....I have worked to eliminate the far-reaching aspects of that bill and amend the legislation to make sure our elections are fair, accessible, and secure.””

It was never about it winning or losing, only money. If there was a win it in our simply engaging in it:

Winning or losing never mattered. Suffering and death were, as Pelosi would say, inconsequential. Corporations and the already rich grew their wealth - that was the only objective.
"What is happening in Afghanistan isn't like the fall of Saigon. It's like the United States lost another war after destabilizing a country that will likely be a failed state for decades, something which has happened multiple times in the 'War on Terrorism.'"

What “end” to Afghanistan war?!:
“Lessons an crumbling empire still won’t learn.
“President Biden has reacted to America’s snowballing humiliation in the graveyard of empires by once again dispatching U.S. envoy Zalmay Khalilzad to Doha to urge the Afghan government and the Taliban to seek a political solution, while at the same time dispatching B-52 bombers to attack at least two of these provincial capitals.
In Lashkargah, the capital of Helmand province, the bombing has already reportedly destroyed a high school and a health clinic. Another B-52 bombed Sheberghan, the capital of Jowzjan province and the home of the infamous warlord and accused war criminal Abdul Rashid Dostum, who is now the military commander of the U.S.-backed government’s armed forces.
Meanwhile, The New York Times reports that U.S. Reaper drones and AC-130 gunships are also still operating in Afghanistan.
The rapid disintegration of the Afghan forces that the United States and its Western allies have recruited, armed, and trained for 20 years at a cost of about $90 billion should come as no surprise. On paper, the Afghan National Army has 180,000 troops, but in reality most are unemployed Afghans desperate to earn some money to support their families but not eager to fight their fellow Afghans. The Afghan Army is also notorious for its corruption and mismanagement.””

The last time Haiti had big earthquake the Clintons used it as an excuse to raise billions in aid the Haitians never saw (if you exclude the Marriott Bill built to “provide jobs”) and Haitian children were stolen and adopted by families in America (makes you wonder about all the children Amy Comey Barrett has):
