What was this quote of 4 or 5 days? Link? I’m out of the loop


Stephanoupolis asked him about the people hanging off the side of planes and falling to their deaths in a mad dash to escape.

He very angrily retorted “That was 4 or 5 days ago man”

Interview airs on ABC this evening.

is this airing in prime time? I’i imagine they are releasing a compelling clip to drive ratings, but as I said yesterday, George has the chops to do a legit interview. From that clip, it looks like he might have.

The NPCs on that abc tweet are hilarious. Constant "so you want to stay in the forever war", gnoring the complete frick up it's been. The bulletin has been submitted.

The true believer networks like ABC will want ratings but generally wouldn’t air the worst clip of a Democrat President. They would bury that in the interview and air clips of “good” answers.

This is…telling. And it also might not be the worst thing he says

A less than positive spin on that interview will shock the people who chose George and ABC to be the ones to ask Joe questions.

I just seen a comment asking where tf is the Republican party & it does seem they are MIA during a time when you would think they would be screaming from the rooftops. I could have totally missed all of their statements & responses to this whole ordeal...

I think George’s reputation matters to him and he isn’t going to be a puppet. They should have selected someone like Don lemon or Cuomo if they wanted only softballs and spin. The problem is, those guys don’t offer any credibility.

Milley said their analysis on the timeline of Taliban takeover included YEARS after our full withdrawal.

I'd rather that be a lie than to believe they actually thought it would take multiple years.

The British are going out and rescuing their citizens.

If you paid close attention to Milley's briefing today, you'll realize he said they could...but they aren't allowed to.

President Biden, who has spent the last few days traveling between the White House and Camp David, is scheduled to head to Delaware for a long weekend.

That’s according to the FAA's website

I thought he might have even said they were but it was onesies and twosies instead of large groups. Might have been me wishcasting, though.

US is also holding the airfield.

Maybe brits need to send in a thousand troops for security.

But it would not matter Biden still would not let the troops out. It may be that the taliban told the US they can’t and the administration just does not want to admit they are taking orders from the Taliban.
