This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.
The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

Greetings!

Yep! You are exactly right, Trond! All of these corrupt media companies have amply demonstrated how they are total Liberal Marxist propaganda machines, utterly untrustworthy, and utterly bankrupt of any morals or any kind of professional or journalistic legitimacy.

That's why nowadays I chalk them up to lying bastards entirely, and discard anything they say, or anything some Libtard quotes from them. It is mind boggling how disgusting they are. They lie, they fabricate, they deceive every day, in virtually every program, every video, every story they produce. It's so clown world that some pseudo-educated smug Liberals try to condescending insist such "News sources" are in any way legitimate, reputable, or professional. Anyone that is truly educated or even observant knows they have become disgusting, worthless rags. Pathetic programing that cannot be trusted for much of anything.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

A number of news sources, mostly conservative of course, are reporting that a group of US veterans, including Green Berets and SEALs, flew to Kabul and conducted a number of sorties to rescue the Afghanis they'd worked with. Including family members, they rescued several hundred over the course of a week (reports vary, but all are 500 or more). They called their mission the Pineapple Express, because they were telling their contacts to say the word pineapple, or a show a pineapple on their phones, to be allowed in the gates. Which sounds like a better plan than giving the Taliban a list of all their names.

  I suspect you can find Tim Kennedy somewhere online talking and showing as many pictures as he can of him being involved, or wanting to be involved.

He sounds, almost literally, as if he was born yesterday. It's as if someone asked a moderately intelligent 10-year old to write the assignment "what do you hope for Afghanistan in the future?".

Yesterday, Reuters published a leaked transcript of July 23rd call between Biden and the then-President of Afghanistan, in which Biden told Ghani they needed to change the perception that the fight against the Taliban wasn't going well, "whether it was true or not".

That directly contradicts Biden's statements today, and earlier, that he and his team were caught flat footed.

Latest Rasmussen Report is out (9/1). Biden's down another 2 points. 42/56 approve/disapprove. His disapproval rating is 1 point higher than his highest approval rating during his presidency (55%). It's also notable that the number of people who strongly disapprove is 47%, 5 points higher than the total of all the people who approve, strongly or not.

Actually, The CIA et al have helped a lot of folks get out of the country.  The last of The CIA et al left weeks/months before The Taliban 'took' Kabul.

How is this about Biden's presidency? Start a new thread if you want to yak about abortion. I might even participate.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.
