Well, if the media does turn on him that means he's lost Democrat support. They're not independently going to push him out of town.

Surely Republicans have to win everything for a generation for all this. You were fricking warned on what would happen if Biden and Kamala were elected, and it was even worse than any of us feared.


You've been over-reacting for some time now.

I haven't changed my humble opinion. I still think that the US military will successfully conduct the air evac ops. I still think that US mass media will rehabilitate Biden and pin all of this on Trump. I'm still not sure that it won't work. I'm still sure that the US voting public, as a collective, is comprehensively indoctrinated and will eventually believe what they are told to believe by mass media.

Biden will order "get the US reporters home now" and once this is done the "press" will begin to rehabilitate Biden.

The Generals are idiots. The military folks that will save the day for Biden are the enlisted folks and junior officers.

I'm certainly prepared to be proven wrong, because, I'm just making semi-informed guesses here.

I actually think they would make him resign if they had anyone at all they could put in the seat.

We will see what happens but I still think there is a 20% chance of that happening.

If there are mass casualties and he doesn't step up. That's a different story.

This will happen very soon. I don’t think the journalists that are there are going to forget about the US citizens there if we can’t get them out. I do think our military will figure out a way but the stink is already on Biden. They will move to blaming Trump but every time Biden walks by people will smell an old fart.

Apparently we shipped Walter White’s cash stack to Afghanistan: Twitter

Biden is even worse than he is, but that’s largely because senility. Trump though clearly understands Tywin Lannister’s central principle and philosophy:

This is the biggest frick up in American history, and parties have gone decades before basically ruling. I just think this will cause one of those times. This is clearly showing the cost of Wokeness. Milley was more concerned about CRT than America’s safety.

Yeah, make no mistake, if Klobachar were VP, Joe would have been thrown out on Monday. Kamala is a major issue.

This is a bad look for the USA to our adversaries. We are weaker in the world view.

Good luck putting together a coalition for any future endeavors. I think most countries will stand on the sidelines from here on out.

Economic might would be the main thing that keeps us in the fold. We still have that going for us, for now.

It’s already started and it will absolutely work with the half of the country that watches and believes everything the mainstream media has to say. This country is far from being United, probably the least United I’ve witnessed in 40 years. It’s like the country is going through a bad divorce and no one knows what to do.

Going into Iraq the second time was a worse error than this.

This random dude figured it out for everyone:

If you're stuck in #Kabul Don't follow Google maps.
What you wanna do is head NNW until you reach #Turkmenistan, turn left and swim over the #Caspian to Azerbaijan. Jib to the left until you reach Ankara and then follow the signs for Istanbul and onwards to Bulgaria...Sorted ???? LINK

There are 10,00 - 40,000 Americans behind enemy lines with the Taliban. There is no worse error than this.
