The German government is saying, "There were hardly any German nationals at the airport to get out." That plane left the airport with very few people on it. They know there were Germans in Kabul needing evac, but where are they now? Were they evacuated on other flights and not accounted for? Did they ever make it to the airport?

Everything I've seen of it so far has been translated tweets and German source news. I haven't seen anything useful to link yet.

He didn’t say shite yesterday. His address was only 10 minutes long where they probably put him on the most powerful steroid not approved by the FDA and could only go that far. He is not there and has to resign. How much do you want to bet he’s talking about Corn Pop right now?

After what you’ve seen in the last 72 hrs all the way up to that presser today, how can you still throw up a defense for Biden, his advisors or anyone tasked with running the country? This shite is indefensible.


You don't need to defend Biden to call out obvious bullshite. No one I've seen here is defending Biden in the slightest.

You've been provided with actual news reports where they called it a damn vacation. Biden's own press secretary had her "out of office" email and phone message on all day yesterday. That was also reported.

Be pivoting to Japan, and actively petitioning Japan to ignore the bullshite military buildup rules.

It's rather apparent no country can count on the United States under this current administration.

I just spoke with ihometiger who has 7 of his former employees (he owned a large private security contracting & logistics company) who are trapped outside of Kabul right now in a secret safe house. He said they are locked and loaded with a full set of arsenal but they are worried as the Taliban are going house to house looking for Americans. He said he is in constant communication with them and they were to told to prepared to hunker down for at least a week before they could be rescued at this time.

Poor guy broke down in tears on the phone because these are good friends of his from Louisiana & Mississippi who he personally recruited over. The last time he lost people was in the Congo several years ago which is why he sold the company.

Keep your prayers for his folks to get out alive. They are all former special forces soldiers.

Does anyone have any reputable links to the comments about Biden being confused and going to sleep or Kamala screaming about this not being pinned on her?

The fabricated bullshite is your suggestion that the Pentagon is orchestrating an extraction from Kabul with no direction or input from Biden and his cabinet.

Interesting. The former Afghan VP may be back in Afghanistan, or never fled.

Have there ever been any pictures produced of Camp David?
I've seen pictures a few decades ago and they along with the West Wing CD mockup are what I think of. I'm sure upgrades have been done on a top secret basis.

I still find it suspicious that the only thing we saw of him this weekend (prior to his tardiness today) was a shot of him alone in a room with what could be a photoshopped in Zoom call.

Camp David is literally the weekend getaway for presidents. So ya, he did.

It's not that he went to Camp David.

it's that he was silent for over three days.

Why can you not comprehend this simple concept?


Because your post I responded to was you, incredulous that Biden went to Camp David. Not you complaining that he wasn’t addressing the nation. Simply that you couldn’t believe that he went to Camp David.

And, of course, other posters actually thinking that Camp David = vacation kind of blew my mind
