Hi,

Looks like Biden may have dug his own political grave, the way everything is unraveling in Afghanistan.

Will he be a 1 and done prez because of this - me thinks so. What do you folks think ?

Also, if Trump ain't getting prosecuted, he is prolly coming back for a second inning.

Thoughts ?

In a surprising move given his high character and decency, President Biden has shirked all responsibility and laid blame for the Afghanistan debacle at the feet of President Trump. Per Biden's 'Rules Of Blame', since Trump had planned to withdraw from Afghanistan - and called no take-backs - any resulting carnage from the withdrawal, even if done in the most unbelievably heinous, idiotic way imaginable, would be Trump's fault.

"I can hardly believe what I'm hearing - withdrew the military before ensuring U.S. citizens were taken care of?" said a despondent Biden. "And the system to take care of local allies crashed? Bases were abandoned so fast that lots of weapons fell into the hands of the Taliban? It's enough to make you sick to your stomach. I'm talking triple-scoop mint chocolate kind of sick. But you know, it is what is. My hands are tied.

Babylon Bee has jumped the shark. They are not creative enough to think of as hilarious answer as the real one Biden gave when asked about the whole AFG covfefe: "C'mon, man, that was 4-5 days ago!".

Absolute BS. He is the commander in chief, he had ample time to reverse decisions taken by prior administration.

Purely based on his inability to acknowledge his responsibility, he is unfit to lead.

Ousted Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has resurfaced in the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) after abandoning his post in the face of the Taliban’s advance to Kabul.

The U.A.E. foreign ministry confirmed Wednesday that Ghani was being welcomed into the country on humanitarian grounds. Ghani initially fled across the Afghan border into Tajikistan with a handful of close advisors as the Taliban encircled Kabul, eventually capturing the capital city.

New: Afghan ambassador in Tajikistan says President Ashraf Ghani escaped with $169m worth of cash in bags before Kabul fell to the Taliban, BBC reports.

Ghani is alleged to have stolen $169 million in U.S. currency when he departed Kabul. The Afghan Embassy in Tajikistan requested Wednesday that Interpol arrest Ghani for the theft.

Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield says U.S. expressed "in no uncertain terms" at the United Nations through "a very strongly worded press statement" from the Security Council that "we expect the Taliban to respect women's rights" and "to be respectful of humanitarian law."


OK, that will teach them. A strongly worded press statement!

If they don't, we ought to declare war on them! They are just a bunch of goat herders, I mean, how long would the war last? A MONTH maybe?

He didn't steal that money. It was bribe money from the US.

Why do you think the Taliban so easily retook Afghanistan? It's because the US puppet government was totally corrupt. The majority of Afghanis were happy to see it leave.

There will come a point where our government will fall apart just as easily and I expect I will live to see that day.

Nothing is going to happen to Ghani.

CONGRESSMAN SEEKING TO RELAUNCH AFGHAN WAR MADE MILLIONS IN DEFENSE CONTRACTING
Florida Republican Michael Waltz made up to $25 million from the sale of Metis Solutions, a defense contractor with a spotty record training Afghan security forces.
Lee Fang
August 20 2021, 7:19 a.m.

FEW LAWMAKERS are as outspoken about the end of the war in Afghanistan as Michael Waltz, a Republican from Florida’s 6th Congressional District.

In recent weeks, Waltz has called on President Joe Biden to “reverse course,” relaunch military operations in the region, and “crush the Taliban offensive by committing American air power” supported by “special forces.” The Florida congressman has warned darkly of an “Al-Qaeda 3.0” and stated that no negotiations should take place with the Taliban “until the situation is stabilized militarily.”

Leading this push, in the pages of newspapers, over talk radio, and on cable television, Waltz couches his advocacy in his identity and experience. Not only is he a sitting memer of Congress, but he is a former Green Beret, a former aide to Dick Cheney, and “a father … sickened by what’s to come for the Afghan women and girls that are being mercilessly abused by the Taliban and sold into sex slavery,” as he wrote in opinion column published last week in Fox News.

There’s one crucial part of Waltz’s experience he tends to leave out: Before his successful run for Congress in 2018, he managed a lucrative defense contracting firm with offices in Afghanistan. The company was recently sold to Pacific Architects and Engineers, or PAE, one of the largest war contractors the U.S. has hired to train and mentor Afghan security forces. The deal personally enriched Waltz by up to $26 million, a figure made public by a filing disclosed this month.


Gosh, without that war, how will he make a living?

The Taliban make a good point. They are identical in their practices to Saudi Arabia.

He will pay the Taliban off quietly and the media will make him a hero for saving american lives.

Am I the only person laughing at the idea that Joe Biden pulled out of Afghanistan because he didn’t want any more American sons & daughters killed?

It’s Beijing-Biden.

Wake me up when the rest of the world realizes he just handed over Afghanistan’s lithium to China.


He's certainly corrupt enough to do it.

We are shifting from the military industrial complex to the pharmaceutical industrial complex.

Get ready for a never-ending, existential health crisis that will continually shift and cost taxpayers trillions.

Save this tweet. It will age well.


Maybe the withdrawal from Afghanistan is so that the corrupt elite can get their money from eternal "booster shots" instead of from wars.

Which will probably kill a lot more people than the wars did.

Think about the fact that Americans are risking their lives landing aircraft in Kabul to evacuate American and Afghan civilians and by next month, those same men and women can be dishonorably discharged for refusing an experimental vaccine.

The Biden regime is DISGUSTING.

As per NBC, Biden will allow not thousands but millions of Afghans to get into us. In a decade Taliban will have their branches in us.
141   Eric Holder   2021 Aug 23, 12:11pm  

“In London ministers and their advisers watched with incredulity,” the Sunday Times reported. “One minister said the president ‘looked gaga’. An aide described the press conference as ‘completely mad’ and the president as ‘doolally’. Such thoughts are normally never whispered in Whitehall, let alone briefed.”

I just checked up on The White House's youtube page:

https://www.youtube.com/c/WhiteHouse/videos

Just to see what the up and down vote ratios were, and sort of surprised they still have them turned on. In many, it's now 10:1.

I thought this phenomenon would die out months ago, but there are 10's of thousands of people that go to these videos, just to express their distaste, after nearly a year.
