At some point Joe Biden decided that the loss of American lives at the hands of the Taliban was worth the political price
There is an enormous incentive for the Taliban to not just murder but to torture their foes, in order to make the costs of defying them as high as possible in order to solidify their hold on power
International disapproval means little to an organization with no foreign ambitions
Americans are extremely naive about the frequency and efficacy of the politics of sadism, because we're trained since kindergarten to believe doing evil is always counterproductive to one's goals.
Even the indisputable claim that "people tend to respond to incentives" is something that many Americans refuse to apply to human behavior and often repudiate with great rage

The first time I encountered Howard Stern was when he had Roger Ebert on his Channel 9 show and was asking Ebert if he ever pretended to be the slavemaster in bed with his wife
Then there's this, his comments speak for themselves:
cnn.com/2020/06/15/ent…
Howard also enjoyed making fun of how mopey Scott the Engineer was, even when his wife was privately fighting cancer.
Scott went broke and started a GoFundMe for medical expenses.
Howard, who is worth $500m+, didn't contribute
Scott was fired soon after, after 30 years.

LISTEN UP KIDS
Sometimes in life you will be punished for doing the right thing
And you'll be tempted to do the wrong thing the next time
Believe me when I tell you the cost for doing that wrong thing will be higher than the punishment would have been
There are two types of people who can't look in the mirror:
Vampires, and those who knowingly choose wrong
What they have in common is not having a soul
this is really really hard when you are young, because one by one your friends will sell their souls, like tossing in their hand in a round of poker, until you're the last one standing
And you'll be wondering what you did wrong
And the answer is nothing, they did. They all did.

How much money would someone have to pay you to do this
How much money would someone have to pay you to sit there quietly while your coworkers did this

Every cop is a criminal
Those dogs would have been wagging their tails and happy to meet the Filth who were about to murder them
We have to consider the cops' perspectives
Maybe the dogs were racist

"I think it was the part of wisdom for Stalin to try to show that a collectivist economy could be made to work in one country. I think he should have our support in that effort." --Upton Sinclair, 1938
"Let us discuss the famine. I venture to doubt that five million people were permitted to die. My guess is that it is near to one million; but that was enough. What were the circumstances? The rich peasants of Russia were sabotaging the revolution." --Upton Sinclair, 1938
"As to the matter of 'famine,' I advised them to push collectivization at all costs, because only through mechanized farming could they avert famine permanently; and they have done so." --Upton Sinclair, 1938

At this point anyone defending the police is more delusional than the worst leftist
it's OK to hate BLM and still regard these state agents as The Filth

"No matter where you go, no matter what country you find yourself, the stupidest people are always the cops." --Dad
when your Facebook friend talks about how gun confiscation in Australia was a great success, this video is exactly what they mean
