The scale of America’s global humiliation is so total that I see my friends at Fox News cannot even bear to cover it. As I write, every other world network - the BBC, Deutsche Welle, France 24, not to mention the Chinese - is broadcasting the collapse of the American regime in real time; on Fox, meanwhile, they’re talking about the spending bill and the third Covid shot and the dead Haitians …as if the totality of the defeat is such that for once it cannot be fixed into the American right’s usual consolations (“well, this positions us pretty nicely for 2022”).
On the leftie side, of course, the court eunuchs have risen as one to protect the Dementia Kid, and are working as hurriedly as the Kabul document-shredders in an effort to figure out a way to blame it all on Trump.
But don’t for a moment think this is just some rushed, bungled, memo-incinerating abandonment of the US embassy. State Department diplomats have been preparing this move all summer, under cover of a highly sophisticated deflection operation on their Kabul Twitter feed:
The month of June is recognized as (LGBTI) Pride Month.
I do hope they’ve managed to evacuate the embassy’s LGBTQWERTY flag before the sacking commences.

Great observations. “Thoroughly Modern Milley” - ha! Fits so well. This should be Biden’s “Waterloo”, or at least his “Watergate”. He really should resign. But if corruption, election fraud, and perversion weren’t enough to do it, this won’t be either. Besides, as humiliating as it is, he’s just following orders. It’s exactly what those really running the show wanted.
