The POTUS needs to be the face of this nation and he needs to be physically in the damn White House at minimum appearing like he’s working tirelessly to bring our Americans home. The WH is the residence and work place of the President and he damn sure shouldn’t be at Camp David (the presidential retreat.)
Hiding in your basement during your campaign is one thing. Doing it as president is... shameful.
Anyone trying to gaslight it being acceptable are not far behind.

Several countries have citizens stuck there. Another glaring sign it wasn’t supposed to go down like this.
Yes, I'm aware. I'm speaking to a specific evac plane and a specific group of people who were supposed to be at the airport but were not.

Sorry. Didn’t even see who I was responding to 
Hoping they re hiding somewhere really good and have a way to contact their government for help.

How bad is it going to get if the Taliban round up a bunch of Americans as hostages and start making demands?
I don’t trust a damn thing they say but I can only hope they won’t do this bc they don’t want to give us a reason to return.

Alright so I am ?going to make an observation. Maybe I'm just stating the obvious but I haven't read it on here yet.
We know why Democrats want amnesty for the southern border. It's all about growing their constituency (i.e. people stuffing the electoral process.) This could balance that the other way. Not to mention that Joe may have screwed over half the squad (it's going to be interesting to see their reaction in the coming weeks.) Are the Muslim heavy communities really going to stay in the DNC camp after this? Take a look at the Cuban community in South Florida who started wavering in their solid red status after Obama opened things up between them and the island.
This is the Bay of Pigs, Saigon, and Tehran rolled into one over the past 72 hours. This is going to shift demographic party identities for the next 20 years.

It was a mistake to have faith in the Afgahni army.
Almost as much of a mistake it was to have faith in the current administration to not pull our troops out in the dead of night without telling any of our allies.

I asked for a link re: the White House stating that Biden going to Camp David on Friday was a vacation. You posted an article from last Tuesday speculating on where on where Biden would vacation this summer (apparently Delaware was a leading contender). An article posted well before Kabul was threatened.
In what world does that show that Biden’s trip to Camp David on Friday was a vacation?

They can’t even understand why this is a failure. It’s not a failure because we are leaving. We all agreed with that. It’s the plan that has resulted in 10’s of 1,000’s of people at risk and will Ultimately be killed
I notice this trend online being the new narrative for this major F up.

If they do this, we need to be back in there. And not to nation build but to collect scalps and kill everyone associated with the taliban. We need to get biblical on them if they do this.

I would have some respect for them if they just came out and accepted responsibility for this debacle and pledged to make it right. But they won’t.......

Almost as telling as the POTUS disappearing for three days while Afghanistan collapses.

Which is a disingenuous argument because literally no one of note is saying we should have stayed.
Absolutely. But the foot soldiers will believe it. The true believers. This story will eventually become anti Trump if they can make the ends of he circle touch.

Will you stop with this now? You aren't convincing anyone. I promise.

Because Camp David has been a Presidential vacation retreat for almost 70 years?

But thanks to the Senate, Biden now will not make his return to Wilmington until later this week and then spend the weekend at Camp David, according to officials. It is not yet clear where he will spend next week. Pack accordingly.
I’m not sure why you want to die on this hill. It’s been widely reported that this is a vacation.

Does Biden even make it to the end of his term at this point? He’s managed to get the GOP even more pissed at him, and now he has Dems turning against him.
He’s old, fragile, and his heart is gonna be under extreme stress from here on out, moreso than it is for any other president.

Jeesus.
Ok. He wasn’t on a vacation. He’s been very hard at work managing our exit from Afghanistan. Seriously, anyone can tell he’s the person running this.
