If you are keeping track... Germany/France/UK has asked for the US to extend the deadline. In addition, I find it interesting that the UK publicly said if the US leaves we won't be able to sustain a presence.
Germany has also stated that they will stay beyond August 31 if all of their people aren't out. They included that they will stay whether US forces stay or go.

An attack on the airport on 9/11 would be the ultimate propaganda tool

Kamala Harris deflecting per usual. It sounds like the majority of the press conference, with the Singapore PM, has been about Afghanistan. I'm sure that Singapore loves the fact that a US VP came to visit but nothing on their agenda gets talked about other than Afghanistan.
I'd hope that the US asked if our allies wanted to postpone these talks.

The US vice-president Kamala Harris said on Monday that the US must maintain its focus on evacuating Americans and vulnerable Afghans and shouldn’t get distracted by questions over what went wrong in the chaotic US exit from Afghanistan, the Associated Press reports.
Speaking at a news conference in Singapore, Harris repeatedly declined to engage when asked what she felt should have been done differently in the withdrawal.

At this point, that is clearly by design. She's being kept away from this mess for a reason.

I agree, but to what end? She was already detrimentally unpopular, even with Democrats, before this happened.
Now, it’s even more likely she’s a mortally wounded politician who even the Democrats won’t be able to save with their propaganda.
Her only hope politically is that Republicans manage to frick this opportunity up by not going on the attack with blood in the water (after all Americans are rescued).

We know 2 things are always true
1. Never underestimate the media's willingness to turn on a dime and blindly shill for the left no matter what
2. Never underestimate the ability of Republicans to frick up a prime opportunity handed to them on a silver platter

Actually there are 3 things we now know:
3. SuperSaint makes better life decisions than Biden and Harris.

Imo, one of the reasons is because she is vastly in over her head. This woman fricked her way up the ladder and has zero experience on the world stage. Her awkward cackling laugh at weird times is a direct indication that she doesnt know how to react to tough questions or situations.
She polled like complete shite, California doesnt like her, black people hated her, and yet they somehow thought she should be Biden's running mate. This woman is just greatly outmatched when it comes to sitting down with world leaders

Honestly appointing her as VP might be the biggest frick up the Democrats have ever done. I’m convinced if Buttigieg or Klobachar were VP right now that Biden would have resigned, been impeached, or had the 25th invoked on him. They know that no one is going to fall in line behind Kamala.

Like it or not, she's going to be the next president and corporate media will 1000% shield her

Can someone give the Biden Administration Peej's contact information ASAP. It seems as if he up to their qualifications with his decision making analysis.

Can you give me some quick bullet points on what I’ve missed the past 2 days?

I honestly couldnt believe they were doing it at the time. When you have people like Gary Chambers saying they would never vote for Kamala, you know something is wrong.
Kamala as President would be laughable.

Former Afghan Army Chief Wali Muhammad Ahmadzai is standing in line at Airport to leave the country.

The main things are the ISIS threat which shut down the airport. The UK and Germany openly lobbying Biden and the US to stay past Aug. 31. Overnight last night (their day) there was a firefight that killed one Afghan soldier and wounded three. That lead to the airport being closed. There was also a fire at the airport.
The Taliban has come out with a statement saying that if the US and Coalition forces stay past Aug. 31 there will be "consequences". Germany has stated that they will stay past that date with or without the US.
Somehow, despite all the setbacks, officials have said 16,000 people have been evacuated in the past 24ish hours. The Administration has been non-committal when responding to questions regarding the number of Americans evacuated.
