What Bruce Springsteen Has Said About Joe Biden on 9/21/20

I like his stuff, have always liked it, but now the bloom is long off the rose, knowing he would dislike me, and seeing so many unlikeable celebrities who adore him. One feels the urge to ask him if he thought Obama was vindictive when O shut down the government, fenced off open-air memorials and their viewpoints, then told his park service to "make it hurt". TD

 What Bruce Springsteen Has Said About Joe Biden (newsweek.com)   

"Bruce Springsteen has deemed the 2020 Republican National Convention "horrific" in a scathing attack against the President.

"The legendary musician and lifelong Democrat did not hold back when asked about the event this year, in a wide-ranging interview about his new music, his old music, politics and Black Lives Matter.

"Though his disdain for Donald Trump is well-known, Springsteen has revealed he supports Joe Biden and believes his election will help repair America's global reputation.

"Speaking about this year's RNC, Springsteen said it was "just seeded with constant lies and total distortion of the American idea."

"The "Born to Run" singer is advocating for "some pretty serious systemic changes moving leftward" and cited Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren as leading left politicians in the U.S.

" 'I like Bernie Sanders a lot," he said. "I don't know if he was my main choice, my first choice. I like Elizabeth Warren, I like Bernie." . . .

He makes a good soulmate for Megan Rapinoe; one could say they even resemble each other....Becky’s dad doesn’t approve of the guy she’s dating, probably named Johnny, but she’s not going to let that stop their love. The factory has closed or is about to, making life in this small town even tougher than it was before. The young lovers are going to meet somewhere, probably on the outskirts of town, and go off to start their lives together, even though the odds are stacked against them.

 Limbaugh slams Springsteen parody  . . . " 'You are only a friend of a Democrat for as long as they can use you, and why this isn’t seen by people is beyond me,” Limbaugh said. “It was a big deal that Obama got Springsteen on the phone from Air Force One. … And here is the guy who brought [Gov. Christie] to tears by talking to him, making fun of him on a late-night comedy show.”

Parissa Sedghi: Partisan Bruce Springsteen's Call For 'Unity' Falls Flat  ..."With his call for unity and sudden eagerness to find some common ground, you’d never think that this was the same man who spent the Trump years fueling the flames of partisan fire and, before that, proudly vocalized opposition to Republicans and Republican leaders."...

..."For one, Springsteen and Biden romanticize the blue collar, factory life of times past, but neither of them have spent time experiencing it. Springsteen might have grown up in a working class family, but he has spent the majority of his adult career in the limelight. Biden’s been in politics his whole life with little to show for it. And no matter how much pandering he extends to the working class and how relatable he pretends to be, his hands will never be calloused. He’d sooner kill jobs before he’d do any work to create them, as we’ve already seen just weeks into his presidency. Biden and Springsteen have taken it upon themselves to be the mouthpieces of the working class man–but as it stands now, they are both failing miserably."...

COMEDY: Nancy Pelosi Praises Biden For 'Strong And Decisive' Exit From Afghanistan (VIDEO)

  The Gateway Pundit.com   "Joe Biden’s execution of the withdrawal from Afghanistan has been a disaster.

"Even people in the liberal media are criticizing the way Biden handled it. The Taliban took control in a matter of days and thousands of Americans are now trapped there.

"Nancy Pelosi, on the other hand, just loved it and lavished praise on Biden." . . .

That Trump Alabama rally

 Trump’s Alabama rally gave us a powerful phrase for the ages  . . . "Trump’s right that it’s true. While the Afghanistan surrender is a terrible blow to America’s standing in the world and a shameful moral failure, what’s happening at home is tearing America apart by creating racial schisms more vicious even than those that existed during the Jim Crow era and destroying for generations the entire reality of biological sex. Too many more of these woke attacks on who and what we are, and there may not be an America for much longer.

As always, it’s impossible to look at those enthusiastic crowds of tens of thousands of people and to believe that Trump had fewer votes than Biden, the man who drew crowds in the tens. I’m certain that Biden received may be close to half of America’s votes, which is a truly shameful fact, but I’m equally certain that good, old-fashioned fraud is what popped him into the White House.

..."As Trump clearly knew, the Taliban, who are very attuned to America, have been rubbing America’s face in the fact that the retreating American military gave them enough advanced weaponry to wage war for years:..."

*"What [the Taliban] really gained in combat power is the armored vehicles and the light armored vehicles and even some tanks and artillery pieces," Roggio said.

British Equipment losses at Dunkirk and the situation post Dunkirk  The British destroyed the equipment they left behind. Even in humiliating defeat, our allies left as heroes.

They did [destroy their equipment], though it was on short notice.

Before leaving, most battalions ditched and destroyed their vehicles and equipment on order. Soldiers from the Royal Engineers were told to blow their trucks up using hand grenades. Those were stunning and demoralising sights for many soldiers. They couldn’t believe millions of pounds’ worth could be thrown away just like that.

However, there was much remnant. This is owning to the pressing time. The evacuation started as early as the 17th of May, yet, up until the 27th of May, many soldiers still had no idea what the plan of an evacuation meant. They were still expecting to stay and fight off the Germans.

Even CNN!  Taliban celebrate their new US arsenal: Rifles, Humvees, ammo - CNNPolitics  "US national security officials are working to account for more than 20 years worth of weapons provided to the Afghan military as images of Taliban fighters brandishing American-made rifles and riding in abandoned Humvees are raising concerns about what else was left behind.

"The Taliban's newfound American arsenal is likely not limited to small arms, as the group captured sizable stockpiles of weapons and vehicles held at strongholds once controlled by US-backed forces, including modern mine-resistant vehicles (MRAPs) and Humvees.

"Initial estimates suggest the Taliban may now also possess several Black Hawk helicopters and other US-funded military aircraft, according to a congressional source familiar with early assessments provided by defense officials.

"That potentially includes roughly 20 A-29 Tucano attack planes, the source said, noting there are some indications that only a small number of aircraft were relocated from a base in Kandahar before it was overrun by the Taliban." . . .

"While the group will unlikely be able to operate the aircraft, the seizures will serve as a propaganda tool.*

"When an armed group gets their hands on American-made weaponry, it's sort of a status symbol. It's a psychological win," Elias Yousif, deputy director of the Center for International Policy's Security Assistance Monitor, told The Hill.
