Your orange hero likes to blame Biden for the exit from Afghanistan, but Biden wasn’t in office when it was negotiated. And Drumpf’s aide Stephen Miller deliberately slow-walked the paperwork for our military’s Afghan support personnel so they couldn’t leave with the troops. What did Drumpf and Miller care if the Taliban slaughtered them? They were Muslims from a [blank]hole country, and it was Drumpf who promised to ban all Muslim immigrants “until we figure out what the h*ll is going on,” a phrase that means exactly nothing.
The ads say “In a few weeks you’ll be speaking another language!” What they DON’T say is “In a few weeks you’ll understand another language when you hear SOMEONE ELSE speak it.” That takes years of study, not weeks. And if you’re going abroad to an area frequented by tourists, it’s very likely that the tour guides, bus drivers, waiters, concierges and other service personnel speak English. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t have been hired for those jobs in the first place.
It’s an old comic but as timely as ever.
