OMLandshark, I don’t think the rank and file democrat is turning on Biden like you hoped they would. It was 4 days of intense media scrutiny and already I’m seeing MSNBC, CNN, and others pivot to the republicans are racist for not allowing in millions of Afghan refugees and cease talking about the actual situation on the ground.


Well these liberals have a choice now: admit they royally fricked up on Biden, apologize, and be judged more kindly in history or stand beside Biden and become one of history’s villains. Leftists don’t get this, but a classical liberal I will help back on their feet.

See if that one goes straight to the correct Tweet. I am normally not on twitter but signed up for a dummy account because there is a large amount of info on it.

Translation:

Afghanistan: The Taliban are trying at all costs to disperse thousands of civilians around Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul

There are 10,000+ Americans in Kabul. He’s not going to nuke them.

Plus the Taliban has found a shite ton of money in a closet somewhere. These frickers will put the fun of the massacre over the cash. They can’t be bribed in the same way we can bribe say the Chinese.

For those that want to know what it says, right click and choose translate to English. The first picture is Karzai and Abdullah meeting with Pakistan.

Also Biden in that interview: “No one is being killed right now.”

Ummmmmm, excuse me?! I’ve seen multiple videos and pictures of people getting killed. One video I’ve seen I counted 13 dead bodies. fricking 13. A CNN reporter and her producer nearly got killed on camera yesterday. What the frick are you talking about “no one is being killed right now”?!

I keep seeing videos of Taliban members kicking people in the face. Are we sure these folks aren't ninjas?

I hate to ask what is likely a dumb question again, but I'm not really well versed.

Why does China want Taiwan? And can Taiwan defend themselves or no?? And will we (the US) get drug there as well??

Because the actual government that controlled China before the CCP fled to Taiwan and a shite ton of former Chinese citizens live there. Additionally they’re a very rich country that China wants to steal everything from.

I’m not going to attribute this one to stupidity but malice given her picture and what she said. This dumb bitch got pissed off about an Israeli journalist in Afghanistan didn’t tell the Taliban that he was Israeli… that would have gotten him killed immediately. Jesus Christ:

A journo with Israeli Kan TV conducted an interview with the Taliban's spokesman without informing him that he is Israeli & works for an Israeli channel. Naturally, this caused an uproar in the Muslim world. The journalist insists he's proud of this piece of unethical work.

Now answer this .. why is there so much evil and greed and power seeking people? I'm so not any of those and just don't understand. 52 and a good bit naive. I think sometimes that as long as I'm right with God, a bad, really bad car accident wouldn't be so bad.

I think like that too. Death has never scared me to actually do anything. Now, to be severely paralyzed or forced to live out my life either physically unable or imprisoned and unable to be free, those are motivators for me.

I hear you, buddy. I don’t understand the temptation of power, and I’m glad I don’t. Freedom is my ultimate temptation, and it has been stripped from all of us. But live day by day. I hope your day gets better because you have made someone’s life special. Hang in there.

Yea, I don’t understand people’s desire for control either. Seems like a lot of work.

My desire to control the limited amount that I can is that I fear the incompetence of everyone around me. I don’t think that’s what motivates the power hungry monsters running our government. They are motivated by personal gain.

These people are so engulfed in their progressivism that they can't look at anything without that milky lens.

I don't understand ... it's a good thing that she didn't say and that the Israeli is still alive, no?
