UEMB Survivor III: The Government Apprentice
Raptorpat replied to Game Master's topic in UEMB.com Community Discussion
We didn't have a great launch, and I never sent an eblast out because the site was shitting the bed. I want to confirm with KN whether we're in a good place or not and then Scooby can relaunch properly. -
KN's been able to piggyback off server space the past few years so we stopped collecting donations

No, it's the reverse. Excuse me if there's any mistakes but here's the basic narrative. Trump Admin negotiated bilaterally with the Taliban, completely cutting the Afghan government out of the conversation. They had an agreement, I think the Taliban would merge with the government to preserve some reforms but give them control back. So effectively he sold out the government and it's military without letting them have a say. And then the deal fell apart at the last minute because Trump demanded a photo op signing ceremony at Camp David and the Taliban demanded a signed agreement before they set foot in the country. Real stupid shit. I hope there's more nuance to it. So the agreement fell apart and they gave the US until like May to get out before the shooting resumed. Biden admin got a couple month extension until like August or whenever the withdrawal happened, but was still caught unprepared. BECAUSE AS IT TURNS OUT, if the Afghan military knows you tried selling them out and defeat is all but assured, they're just going to lay down their weapons rather than delay the inevitable just for your sake. So the Taliban swept the country immediately beyond that airport, and everyone saw the results.

I'd wager that's technically true, just like it's Trump's fault the Afghan defense collapsed all at once because his bilateral peace negotiations collapsed and the Afghan military knew they were either losing to the Taliban or being handed over to the Taliban.

I'm half-thinking that if the post-covid economics were inevitable, maybe he should have just won reelection in 2020

*first four years and because they won't be able to get there, they'll lose reelection like this past year

Happy birthday @Oda!

when they're going to war against birthright citizenship yet at the same time saying we need more babies in America... I genuinely think they should have been asked at the debates and at every future debate "is America a white nation?" because it's obviously the most pressing question and the one they'd have to contort themselves into the hardest knot to avoid answering.

According to the article its only $7.5m per year which is literally meaningless in the context of the US budget. Fortunately Bloomberg cares enough about the issue and can afford that, but the raw spite symbolism is just terrible.

he specifically wrote it in a way that blocks Obama, you only get the bonus term if you got kicked out so it only applies to trump and grover cleveland
