The New Afghan President is One of the Prisoners Released by Trump
To add insult to injury, a guy named Abdul Ghani Marader has been named Afghanistan’s new president. He was one of the founders of the Taliban in 1994 and brother in law to Muhammed Omar, the head of the Taliban who was forced into hiding by the US in 2002. Marader was arrested and jailed in Pakistan by the request of the US in 2010. Trump unilaterally released him in 2018 to negotiate the Doha agreement between the Taliban and US. Since then he has consolidating his power especially after Trump surrendered to the Taliban at Camp David in 2020 and agreed to release 5,000 Taliban fighters. On Monday, he waltzed into Kabul unopposed and immediately too up residence in the president’s palace after Ghani fled and the Afghan army delaminated in less than 10 days.
Trump seems to be the common thread throughout this entire catastrophe. To make it perfectly clear:
- Trump released Marader in 2018
- Trump invited the Taliban (including Marader) to Camp David in 2020, agreed to hand Afghanistan over to the Taliban and set May, 2021 as the date.
- As part of the deal, Trump released another 5,000 Taliban fighters from Afghan prisons.
- Trump then unilaterally withdrew half of US forces in December 2020, just before the insurrection, and the Biden inauguration.
- Trump trumpeted the withdrawal deal during his rallies in 2021, bragging about how he boxed Biden in.
- When the withdrawal turned into an easily predicted debacle, Trump immediately blamed Biden for the deal he had personally negotiated.
If you’re looking for anything else to be pissed at Trump about, this is it.
That’s exactly the truth of it.
1But absolutely no MAGAoty Trumpanzee will ever acknowledge any of these facts.
Their corruption saturated Idiot-In-Chief is their revered ‘God Above Infallible’ who cannot make a mistake, and they’ll utterly worship him until they die.
Someone in the future will connect a money trail – that’s always the case with the Old Pretender.
2Totally off topic.
3GREG ABBOTT HAS COVID.
No surprise here. If Justice has any balance at all, Trump will go to jail for tax evasion.
4And, of course, it can probably be traced even further back with Putin recommending (or ordering?) it.
5Jim Wright posted his first essay on Stonekettle Station since January.
6It’s definitely a good read.

May or my not be related to this conversation, but good news that the federal court ordered trumpf to turn over records of foreign payments he received to congress. Nothing will be surprising but will be on the record. I’m pretty confident many will be illegal.
7Been watching more news clips from the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, lots more bigass Ford pickups.
Holy goat! Those turbaned mofos are even tooling around in big ass FORD Expedition [MAX] SUVs.
One of those puppies sells for $65-90,000+, they be likin’ them some 4WD luxxurryy.
As if those rag——d stone-aged sonsabitches could ever in a thousand years produce any of the tech products, like transport and weaponry, that they like to play around with.
Kinda makes you wonder where the dinero is coming from, or maybe they just cleaned out the dealerships. Although I suspect that their financiers paid for most of their vehicles a while ago.
I’m looking forward to the Chinese finally, totally, –eradicating– all of these baggy bastards in just a little while. They’re the only ones that can do it once and for all.
[disclaimer- I already own two nice SUVs, one a top-of-line Ford-family vehicle, and other vehicles]
P.P. @6, Excellent article.

Why is it that nothing sticks with that guy? He’s a bigger threat to the US than most of the rest of the worlds leaders. He continues to place Americans in jeopardy for no known reason. And the only entity that can shut him down is Twitter! When he said that he could [kill] someone on 5th Ave. and get away with it, he meant it, smh. How? Why?
