Press Secretary Butthead on how many Americans are left in Afghanistan: Ask the State Department
So then this is no longer true? He said it just 10 days ago.
quote:
President Biden took questions from reporters Friday for the first time since Afghanistan fell to the Taliban, outside a Wednesday interview with ABC News, pledging that the U.S. will get any American home who wants to come home. The president's address comes as tens of thousands of American citizens, legal residents and their families and vulnerable Afghans struggle to flee the country.
"But let me be clear. Any American who wants to come home, we will get you home," Mr. Biden told reporters in the White House East Room.
quote:
The party line is:
"They didn't want to leave."
If they think anyone would actually believe this line, then it tells you what they think about the intelligence of the average US citizen.
Yes, Joe, Afghan citizens were trying to hang on the outside of our planes to get out, but actual American citizens think putting down roots over there would be just lovely.

This is a catastrophe. I would say Joe Biden should just kill himself, but then we would be a worse position with that loopy VP. What a scumbag POS.

For those who have asked about my son a small update.
I want to apologize for some harsh/stupid comments I made a few weeks ago when this all began. My anger was at those in command who deliberately (either due to incompetence or greed) set in motion the events that led to this disaster.
Our military and country need guys like your son, especially in times of crisis such as this.
God bless him and his brothers who are willing to sacrifice everything so that Americans are safer at home and abroad. And God bless you for raising him to be that type of man.

He probably hasn't been told.

Yeah, can’t wake him up from nap time when we have two gigantic disasters he needs to clean up.

I'm not saying it isn't, I just hope it's not.

About fricking time: 90 retired Generals and Admirals call for Milley and Austin to resign immediately
Add Biden and Kamala to that.

Honestly don’t recall too much negativity in this thread outside of the usual suspects of which you’re not one.
No worries though.
Hoping to hear he is headed stateside soon. Outside chance he goes to Africa. Apparently Boko Haram and some others are making a lot of noise again now that Biden has his finger prints on America’s standing in the world.

This is both sad and maddening. The dumpster fire in the WH, all of his admin and the top of the military all need cells in GITMO until their military tribunals and the lined up against the fence.

Silly, he just had his ice cream and drug cocktail and is sleeping like a baby now.
There is no describing the hate I feel for the sucky gov't we have now.

I'm not saying this isn't true, but we do need to very careful how we take in the information coming out of Afghanistan right now. I have no doubt the US government turned their backs on American citizens and former soldiers running private operation, but I'm taking everything with a huge lump of salt.
The tweet that made the rounds on Saturday night about Biden not being at Dover turned out to be false and didn't pass the smell test at the time due to the timing. Plenty of notable people retweeted it. I thought Legend did a great job of filtering through the information out there and passing it along and adding disclaimers when appropriate as to the quality of the information. I did see one of the the good sources that turned out to be quite accurate is now banned on Twitter @meghupdates. Not sure what they did to get banned.
We just need to use our critical analysis skills and gut instinct as the news will be sketchy and will be even harder to come by as the Taliban starts cracking down. No way the mainstream media covers this unless they are forced to.

I’m apprehensive on it as well, but we need to put the warnings out there in case they are true. I want video evidence before everything else, and if that is true, we’re going to have one hell of a video that is leaked to us in a couple of hours.

I'm beginning to wonder if this (and some of the other shite) isn't an unfortunate catastrophic example of what happens when you put together a cabinet/staff based on identity rather than merit and experience.

The Establishment and media are kicking themselves they picked Kamala as VP. Rest assured that if Klobachar or Buttigieg were VP, they’d be President right now.

Clarissa Ward spoke with a family from Texas trapped in Afghanistan: Twitter
And I don’t buy the 250 number in the slightest. Glenn Beck himself he’s in contact with way more than 250 Americans trapped in Afghanistan. Plus any American outside of Kabul weren’t going to get to the airport, and there are tons of them out there. At best you can add another 0 to that number, and it’s probably still higher than that.

Buttigieg
Even though I didn't necessarily agree with his policy, at least he is a smart guy who can put together a coherent thought.
