I can’t believe this is even happening.

They're laying the groundwork for president Harris. It's not honest criticism with no strings attached

I’m going to say this. If you voted for Biden, you own this just as much as he does. It was obvious to anyone that he wasn’t operating at 100% prior to the election and you voted for him anyway. Enjoy the results, you own this.


You hate when people do this same routine about Trump, so just stop.

On the bright side, State Dept just said they are asking the Taliban to create a representative and inclusive government.


Well they already said they would so we are good right?...right?

This is the official Pentagon number and he said several hundred non-Americans have been evacuated which are clearly factored into the 2k number he just gave.



Ya, Im not questioning you, that number just seems a little low. Someone else posted all the military planes flying in earlier and it seemed like we had 30 something cargo planes flying around. Not all of those would be for evacuations, but just 3 C17s could fit more than 2000 people.

"It's Trump's fault despite me being entirely in charge for the withdrawal plan".

POTUS and his media friends will try to conflate anger about our botched withdrawal with anger towards us being there to begin with.


Nailed it. Except CNN, shockingly, isn't carrying Biden's water for him.

Complete chicken shite. Cowardess in the face of an enemy. Ever more proof of not only Biden's complete divorce from reality, but the Obama acolytes charged with his handling. Case in point is the ongoing Pentagon briefing, and the failed JCoS's tap dancing in a minefield.

Sorry Sunshine, Trump didn’t screw up anything this bad. But go ahead and name something, I’ll wait…

They should have been evacuated BEFORE military started winding down.


How can you forget that? That seems like a no-brainer.

Liberal networks are even shitting on him now.

I mean he was obviously going to be a disaster but he’s nothing more than a puppet. Amazingly Harris would be even worse if the get rid of him.

I fear we are going to see the Taliban hold several thousand American hostages in the near future in a scene not witnessed since Iran in 79 under Carter.

Anyone notice local news media who usually run national stories are dead fricking silent on this issue?

Nah. His media lapdogs are turning on him because they have people there that can't get out. They have written fricking articles today begging the White House for help. Literally begging.

Many of whom were instrumental in putting him in power. This is a tragedy but these are natural consequences to their own actions.

Um, they’ve been accepted for the last 5 years pretty universally. Let’s not pretend ABCNews is a Republican shill machine.


I’m talking about everyone here accepting them (e.g., the Trump supporters) when the anonymous reports surfaced about Trump. For instance, if I went and looked for the posts on the date that it was anonymously reported that Trump called the veterans “idiots” and “pussies” or whatever it was, I would find you and others here just as accepting of those reports, right?

Furthermore, I don’t give a crap about the political aspects of this right now. I’m focused only on the people who’s lives are in imminent danger. If your focus is political party or damage to Biden, you’re soulless and rather vapid.


I have no idea who you are, so I wouldn’t assume that’s all you care about. I don’t see any reason to defend my concern for Afghanis and Americans in this clusterfrick of a situation. Unfortunately, it’s having a serious impact on people very close to me. But I’m also capable of caring about many different things at the same time… like hypocrisy. You’re welcome to whatever opinion you’d like to have, it doesn’t really matter to me.

National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan should be relived of duty. Everything he touches is shitty, AF.

quote:

He was previously a senior policy advisor to Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential election campaign and deputy chief of staff at the Department of State. Sullivan was also a senior advisor to the U.S. government for the Iran nuclear negotiations and a visiting professor at Yale Law School.

They asked the Pentagon on whether or not Americans have destroyed or will destroy equipment so it won't fall into the Taliban's hands.


They have already seized weapons we left the Afghans.
