  1. The story about the Afghan camo has been out for over a month, but it is surprising that the details and facts offered in the story were so sparse:
    1. Afghanistan is in central Asia, not the Middle East
    2. The camo pattern was chosen by the Afghan defense minister in 2007. So not 16 years into the American presence into Afghanistan.
    3. The defense minister selected the pattern because he ‘liked what he saw’. Its not clear why it was left up to him to pick this pattern, but that is where the blame lies.
    4. Fuel, ammunition and supplies given to Afghan forces end up for resale on the local market and at much lower prices. This probably cost taxpayers a lot more than $28M.

  2. They’re both delusional. Wes turned into a Resistance Alex Jones where Cenk is a Turkish Spy, and Jimmy is peddling nonsense, from Seth Rich to Parkinson’s. Same level of crazy just different sides of the spectrum. Illegitimate people.

  3. I think the coverage of the Farenthold story is totally misleading. He said “some of the people opposing it are women” hence he can’t go and beat/shoot them. You can still criticize him for benevolent sexism, I guess, but to paint it like he was solely or even primarily criticizing female law makers is just 100% inaccurate…

  4. 8:37- 14:32
    PROOF THAT U.S. has been in support of Terror ONCE AGAIN!!!! Taliban and US(pun) r on the same SIDE!!!

    @AnaKasparian
    ur NOT Western Christian; u were raised as Eastern Christian specifically Armenian Apostolic Church. Your understanding of Christain values is not Right Christian interpretation by Protestants.

  5. I was in the middle of writing a long explanation on why Wes and Jimmy are making what we’ve been fighting for illegitimate, then I thought about it….. Just cut ties before the #Resistance losers pick up on the bull crap they’re peddling. Wes looks to be in need of a mental health professional, and I wish him well. Jimmy is irresponsible.

    1. They are on 2 completely different pages?

      Wes thinks Russia is right in front of our doorsteps,
      Jimmy thinks there is no collusion at all..?

  6. That’s sixty six billion wasted on false attribution of religious identity zealotry as apposed to the real causality of pure capitalistic hegemony and cruel austerity financing.

  7. The Norwegian Christian Peoples party, are generally against Abortion, but unlike American conservatives, they actually care about the born. One of the parties main causes are financial and other support for families. And they are for increasing it.

    So while I don’t agree with 95% of what the party stands for, at least their hypocrisy isn’t GOP level.

  8. The GOP want to keep Trans people out of the bathroom, so they can have a safe space where they know that they expose and assault Men instead of icky Women.

  9. Pro-tip to that assholes families of fucking morons protesting abortion, if you have 8 children, you could have used some abortion.

  10. Sessions probably freaked out on an edible one time and now he thinks it is the gateway drug that it isn’t.

  11. Oh my Glob, that Afghan soldier uniform story, I can’t believe it. Oh my fucking Glob.

    It sounds like something that an evil corporation would do in a Kevin Smith movie.
    Quartermaster: “Are those the new uniforms?”
    Company Rep: “Yessir.”
    Quartermaster: “But these are green. We’re fighting in the desert over there.”
    Company Rep: “Yes, they’re as green as the money we’re making selling ’em.”
    Quartermaster: “But we cannot use these.”
    Company Rep: “Yes, but think about it in financial terms.”
    Quartermaster: “Finances? People are gonna die out there.”
    Company Rep: “Yes, maybe, but… money.”

  12. Does anyone remember when Texas Governor Ann Richards (forgive my spelling, if need be) referred to Sissy Farenthold (spelling again) during one of those Democratic conventions back in what seems like prehistory? Any relation to Blake Farenthold?

  13. I don’t love marijuana, but I don’t see a problem legalizing it. There is bigger problems to focus on that criminalizing weed and locking people up for it.
