But this, this morning, is not funny:<\/p>\n

\u201cWho would trust anything said by the U.S. government?\u201d \u2013Buck\u00a0Phiden<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m thinking of the Americans to be abandoned to their fates in Afghanistan, but I’m thinking of the vaccines, too, and of their totalitarian marketeers, and of every other species of bullshit now blown out of Washington every day.<\/p>\n

The U.S. government has less credibility today than it had yesterday, before Fiasco Joe lied about the Americans who will be abandoned. Less than it had on August 13th, before the fall of Kabul. Less than it had on January 19th, before Fiasco Joe was installed as Resident. Less than it had on January 5th, before the U.S. government declared war on the people who, until the 6th, had always loved and defended it. Less than it had on November 2nd, before the election was stolen.<\/p>\n

The U.S. government is illegitimate by the only measure that matters: No one believes it, believes in<\/em> it, or believes anything it says.<\/p>\n

The husk may yet stand, like the hollowed out tree in Atlas Shrugged,<\/em> but it’s dead inside, at least for now.<\/p>\n

Godspeed, America. Godspeed, Earth. Look out for your own…<\/p>\n
