He would have been thrown out of office on the 15th. He barely didn’t get Pence to use the 25th just for January 6th.

Also, you'll see Republicans saying that Biden admin activated 25K National Guard Troops for his inauguration but only 6K to remove American citizens out of Afghan.

That’s because people protect what they care about. The Biden Administration doesn’t give a single frick about the Americans trapped out there.

The one correction is that he doesn't own the company anymore. He sold it to a friend of his after a bad outcome in the Congo.

LINK ]DailyMail: "Washington Post reporter reveals how she and her team were rescued by brave BRITISH troops after Biden banned US forces from venturing out of Kabul airport"
A Washington Post reporter has shared how British troops helped her and friends flee Afghanistan - as pressure mounts over US forces' continued refusal to leave Kabul airport.
Susannah George told of how she and the paper's Afghan staff were able to latch on to a separate evacuation led by UK troops, after spotting them and asking for help to flee.
That saw them hurriedly travel along a road to Kabul's Hamid Karzai Airport in armored cars driven by private security guards.
Those roads were being guarded from Taliban interference by UK service personnel, before making it to the security gate of the airport itself, which was manned by American troops.
George did not offer further comment on the troops who helped save her, but the UK's elite Special Air Service (SAS) have been drafted in to rescue Britons trapped in the war-torn country.
Her difficult journey contradicts President Biden's assertion that anyone with an American passports would be allowed through checkpoints.

Yep. His friend who now owns and operates the security company apparently got in touch that they had people in Afghanistan protecting a humanitarian group working with women. That group had hunkered down early last week. Ihome flew in to a neighboring country to help his friend facilitate their safe evacuation.
Mrlsu can correct anything I got wrong.

Am told the Biden Administration, on noon (eastern) briefing call for lawmakers, estimated that 4,000 Americans have been evacuated from Afghanistan.

That’s better than I thought it was going to be, but I don’t quite trust these numbers. From all the shite that happened yesterday, there’s no way they evacuated 8,000 people.

The numbers the White House is throwing around are numbers for everyone flying out of the Kabul airport. Belgium, India, Belarus, etc. fly in and evacuate people = those numbers are put into the US numbers.
No one has asked the Administration this question which is a joke in itself.

They shut down the airport for like 8 hours yesterday. Even with this BS added in, I don’t see how they’re evacuating that many people as they say. It just seems to me that they’re making up numbers.

They never have any real numbers. Hard to listen to beavis speaking at the mike

The idea that we dont have a number on the amount of people getting on these planes and tracking where theyre going is just downright scary

Close he owned a large private security and logistics company. He has seven friends who he recruited to his company before he sold it to a large international outfit (not his friend). The guys in Afghanistan called him and told him they needed help. ihometiger made a couple of phone calls and the next day a private plane picked him up at the airport and he was on his way to Afghanistan to personally pick up his guys and the women they were protecting.

Yeah, the number there I’ll be fair to this administration that I now understand why they have no idea how many Americans there are in Afghanistan since a lot of people may not register at the Embassy and people definitely aren’t thinking about deregistering when they leave. However not knowing the number of Americans we’ve evacuated at this point is completely unacceptable.

You think that's scary how about the fact the military has a STAND DOWN ORDER IN PLACE preventing any Americans from being rescued by US forces. This order in itself is a disgrace!
