But, looking back... he was way more right about who democrats were becoming than anyone else in the public arena. Sounded insane at the time. But it's the world we live in in 2021.
Well, the video Beck did last night was really something. If a 1/3 of what they say turns out to be true, this shitshow is worse than anyone thought.
Take what he says and divide by two, that'll be pretty close.

It could be why they have been telling people to leave the airport, HKIA could be the Alamo of Afghanistan.
This has been my feelings on the warnings to leave the airport as well. Impossible to tell friend from foe and also to defend yourself with some many potential innocent civilians around.

Then, there's the conspiratorial side of me:
We have no interest in staying even until the August 31 deadline. We want to be out as soon as possible, but know that as long as evac ops are rolling okay we look terrible doing it. So, we "discover" a terrorist threat from an outside group. We warn all Westerners to leave the area of the airport. We wait hours to make sure that most have. Using our CIA operatives already at work in the city/country we orchestrate a "suicide bombing" that raises the stakes and gives cover for us to leave as soon as possible.
No way that could be the case, though, right?

Twitter still defending Biden in all of this is completely unbelievable to me
Even the MSM is starting to turn, so that is nuts. I flipped to CNN last night and they were speaking unfavorably towards Biden and his admin's handling of this.
First time in a while that I remember most people in the media agreeing on something.

There's a moron over on the Poliboard thread about the explosions right now saying this is all Trump's fault.

Shockingly, CNN has had some of the best and most damning coverage of this from the beginning.

Most outlets, domestic and international, have been hammering the Administration.
Having their own people trapped over there, along with people they've known and worked beside for two decades, due directly to actions of the Biden Administration has a way of putting partisan shilling on the shelf for a while.

Every American left in Afghanistan is likely going to die.

They may eventually, but I believe it is first going to become a hostage situation. It will likely be centered around one of the hotels near the airport.

That is appalling but most likely true. How far we have fallen as a country that we allow this to happen.

The US State Dept just estimated that over 6,000 Americans are trapped behind Taliban lines.

Seriously, a lot of them are paid propagandists, with Twitter assistance. Look how often "Blonde In Brooklyn" pops up in replies with always the textbook Democrat talking points of the day.
Though of course you have the volunteer useful idiot true believers that will insist the sun rises in the west and sets in the east if Trump said the opposite. Same for the Q-tards if a Dem says something truthful.
And can we use some common sense and not simply repeat the Twit foreign policy hot takes? "The ISIS hates the Talibanees, they would never cooperate!" Yeah, the Soviets were our enemy, until it was useful to collaborate during WWII. Reality isn't as simple as the simpletons make it.

I posted that video earlier. It’s a video of Gaza, not Afghanistan allegedly.
