Honestly this is not the first time in US history that the President’s wife was in charge of his administration: Edith Wilson basically ran the country for his last year in office.

And now to the obligatory Bill Burr on Michelle Obama: YouTube

Whatever will we do if we don't have to spend billions of dollars a year to prop up the faux British military presence around the former commonwealth?

This "done with NATO" stuff was one of the most popular keys of Trump's foreign policy. Now that Biden has pissed off our allies and they have threatened to not take our money anymore, it's political failure.

They can "rethink" the "special relationship" all they want. They still desperately need our money and pats-on-the-head to stay relevant internationally.

Biden doesn't give a frick about anything other than democrat power.

Democrats have always been weak when it comes to foreign policy. At least Clinton and Obama paid it lip service. Biden has straight up said he is willing to let US citizens rot.

This is pretty true. It's the result of countries like Germany taking our money and using our military as their personal national guard while handing over their strategic energy sources to the country they're allegedly terrified of.

Shocker. Biden has been nothing but a failure but since the algorithms in the voting machines put him in charge we have to deal with his messes.

Trump never had a done with NATO stance he had a NATO needs to pay why they agreed to stance. Huge difference. America need our allies as much as they need us to think otherwise is ignorant of history.

This.

Trump valued our allies, he just put a stop to them walking all over us, and he certainly wouldn't have taken a shite all over them like Biden has -- regardless of what the media will say about Biden's alleged foreign policy acumen.

The entire population of Afghanistan faked the Afghan Army for 20 years to be on the CIA payroll. Then they all quit in one week when the Taliban called. And now they’re all at Kabul airport pretending to be interpreters in order to get airlifted to America.

The French have now said they've seen multiple Taliban fighters disguise themselves in order to be evacuated. Even the Taliban doesn't want to live under Taliban rule.

I saw a Turkish news reporter last night say that their crew was approached by a Taliban fighter who showed them a university acceptance letter and he said he wanted to leave so he could go to college.

So tired of everything. The left is more interested in how snide Biden's unprofessional mouthpiece bitch is towards FOX News than opening their eyes to the truth. I don't care if the southern border number is 200k or 180k...the ranchers need to form a militia, pool 180k round of ammo, and defend the border since it's obvious Biden doesn't give a shite about Americans or anyone else. As long as he's got an excuse and if the illegals add to the low IQ Democratic voter rolls he's perfectly fine going on vacation and sending his VP to Saigon.

Playing devils advocate, isn't it quite possible that people are disguising themselves as Taliban in order to evade the death squads and get through checkpoints on their way to the airport?

I just read that two Congressmen flew into Kabul on a chartered flight. They didn't clear it with anyone before being inbound to the runway. It was a Republican and a Democrat, so....a bi-partisan effort it seems. No one was happy to see them, it said.

If I see any other articles or reports verifying it I will post them.

I'm sure it is, but the guys the French currently have "under surveillance" were flagged when they got to their evac destination.

2 Congress members fly to Kabul amid choatic evacuation


quote:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two members of Congress flew unannounced into Kabul airport in the middle of the ongoing chaotic evacuation Tuesday, stunning State Department and U.S. military personnel who had to divert resources to provide security and information to the lawmakers, U.S. officials said.

Officials said Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., and Rep. Peter Meijer, R-Mich., flew in on a charter aircraft and were on the ground at the Kabul airport for several hours. Officials said the two men were flying out of Kabul on another charter aircraft, prompting officials to complain that they were taking seats that could have gone to other Americans or Afghans fleeing the country.

Two officials familiar with the flight said that State Department, Defense Department and White House officials were furious about the incident because it was done without coordination with diplomats or military commanders directing the evacuation.
