The guy in Cuomo’s show is letting Biden have it

Yeah, even the Democrat at work was pissed at him this morning. I assume many feel betrayed.

This is pure gold.

Except, it’s real life. That’s easy to forget sometimes with the charade act being played by all of Washington DC.

Last year when Trump signed a peace treaty with the Taliban, everyone thought it was a good move.

You’re a fricking tard Chris. A fricking tard. People aren’t angry about leaving Afghanistan. We are angry it was done in such a bullshite, horrible, disorganized way that is putting 1,000’s of American citizen and 10’s of 1,000’s if our allies lives in imminent danger.

how fricking dishonest.

No wonder you are a democrat. You have zero concept of reality.

Like last night when you got your panties in a wad because somebody disparaged twitter. lol

You told THEM to "get a grip" and look at you now. Taking up for Biden admin and twitter in same thread.

Says the guy who hasn't made a single comment on Biden's lack of communication for three days.

---

Yes I did. You even responded to it. Need to hear more? Biden fricked up big time. He should have been explaining this before, during, and after if there was any semblance of a cogent plan. His admin as been pre-justifying this for a while now, claiming the Taliban are allegedly moderating (which is fricking stupid since we know that they are still in communications with Al Qaeda, who are happy as hell right now) and that they'd "rule less harshly" (quote from Blinken via the NYT). I'm not defending Biden at all, but you're too much of a partisan hack to be honest about the situation.

We had allies given up to their enemies. Abandoned. That should matter.

It’s not the pressing concern at this moment. Stop derailing the thread with this bulls hit and stop flaming the thread with your complete lack of concern with US Citizen lives.

You want to discuss the Kurds? Start a thread. Otherwise, you need to take a break from this one.

because somebody disparaged twitter. lol

You mean the twitter that allows the spokesman of the Taliban have an account, but banned Trump?

---

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.

---

It’s not real. I’ll show you why.

This is the photo.


Look closer. I’ll give you a hint…


Look closer once again…


That says it’s 16:29 in London and 19:29 in Moscow. Only thing is… Moscow is actually only 2 hours ahead of London… not 3 hours. Only from November to March is the difference 3 hours.





So this photo was taken at least 5 months ago.

Taliban in Afghan capital Kabul start collecting weapons from civilians

KABUL, Aug 16 (Reuters) - Taliban fighters in the Afghan capital, Kabul, started collecting weapons from civilians on Monday because people no longer need them for personal protection, a Taliban official said.

"We understand people kept weapons for personal safety. They can now feel safe. We are not here to harm innocent civilians," the official told Reuters.

City resident Saad Mohseni, director of the MOBY group media company, said on Twitter that Taliban soldiers had come to his company compound to enquire about the weapons kept by his security team.

This also would support reports that the Taliban are, in fact, going door-to-door.
