Airbnb Announces 20,000 Afghan Refugees Housed for Free, Internet Has Great Idea Where to Send Them


The American property rental company Airbnb announced on Tuesday that it will host 20,000 Afghan refugees at no cost to them. Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky made the announcement on Twitter.

“Starting today, Airbnb will begin housing 20,000 Afghan refugees globally for free,” Chesky said. “While we will be paying for these stays, we could not do this without the generosity of our Hosts. To make this happen, we are working closely with , NGOs, and partners orgs on the ground to support the most pressing needs.”

“The displacement and resettlement of Afghan refugees in the US and elsewhere is one of the biggest humanitarian crises of our time,”



One popular idea going around is to house Afghan refugees in Greenville, Delaware, which is Joe Biden’s hometown. A Change.org petition has made the rounds pushing for the president to step up and own the results of his disastrous policies.

Resettle Afghan Migrants in Greenville, DE and Other Upscale Suburbs


Joe Biden says WE are going to welcome 28,000 Afghan migrants in the US, and when he says WE he means working class neighborhoods. The buck stops with the President, Joe Biden has said it himself therefor Greenville, Delaware should be the first neighborhood selected for Migrant resettlement.
This will take the load off of working class Americans and guarantee Afghan Migrants a higher quality of life and a warmer welcome from people who appreciate diversity. Other locations worth considering are Martha's Vineyard, home of Barack Obama and Crawford, Texas, home of George W. Bush.

Warning  Don't click if fatal NDs are something you'd rather not see.

Maybe leaving all those weapons wasn’t a terrible idea after all

I didn't visit LL for the gore, they had real videos of things the news never shows. Lotta great footage of global hot spots. Stuff everyone should probably see, state of the art German tanks getting ganked by old model hand held Russian tank busters. Mex Cartels kidnapping cops off the street, South African Blacks murdering Whites in their sleep etc etc. MSM ignores this stuff when it should be front page with pics. The world is a dangerous place, Americans have no clue what it's really like in the rest of the world.

A former CIA officer organized a rescue of 500 Afghan interpreters and other special visa holders.

They made it to the airport.

*Then they were kicked out by the State Dept.*

Last 2 days Jen Psaki and clowns from the State Dept have been trying to move the goalposts to get to where they could say 'Americans still in Afghanistan wanted to stay' like Judas washing his hands. And now the DNC is doing a Bush Jr. 'MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!' These people are pure evil.

The Democratic National Committee wants you to know: It's been a success.

This whole thing is messed up. It was never going to be clean and simple but the way it is occurring is pretty bad.

For all the people who are blaming this all on Biden I think ti is fair to point out that the agreement to withdrawal occurred about 18 months ago. So of all the planning and steps to take, Biden was in charge for about 6 months so if we want to be fair, this mess is about 2/3rds Trump's fault and 1/3rd Biden's fault.

And I say that with the caveat that a president doesn't personally plan the details of pullouts, they delegate that so some of the blame definiately belongs to various other generals and other government officials as well.

So everyone who sabotaged Trump's plan only gets off with a slap on the wrist and he gets all the blame. Got it.

Pin another medal on them. Maybe they will do better next time.

Trumps plan was to provide US air support for Afghan Army even after our ground troops left, Joe turned it off.

Trumps plan was a direct personal threat to the Taliban Commander 'Act the fool after we depart and I will bomb your ancestral village to dust I know where it is'. Joe is literally begging and hoping for permission FROM the Taliban.

 Joe shut down the US Airbase BEFORE getting everyone out and is now stuck trying to use a civilian airport dead center in a city. Bidens owns commanders have said it was beyond stupid to do.


 Trump told the Taliban IF they decided to play more terrorists reindeer games after we departed he would not only come back but unleash a level  of military response that had never been seen before on the planet. Joe won't even answer questions about anything going on in the country.


I don't see how any of this is even a fraction the fault of Trump. He didn't start that war and he knew it was never going to be 'won' the way they had run it.

Sorry, but you can't blame Trump.  The Joint Chiefs and Theater Commanders didn't get shuffled just because we have a new CinC.

The same military leadership that existed under Trump, and who had the responsibility for the planning and execution of the withdrawal, also exist under Biden.

The President is not responsible for doing the work of planning and implementing the logistics of what's happening.  While the CinC gets briefings on what's happening and has the opportunity to make sure objectives are being included, Trump wasn't the one pulling the levers and pushing the buttons.

Having said that, it now appears Biden's staff totally ignored the withdrawal until things started to fall apart.  When that happened, they failed to get out in front of it. 

I think Biden gets the full blame for letting this failure get as far as it did.  It shows how disconnected he is from running the country.  Trump would have never let this turn into the debacle it's become, because he's a problem solver.

Biden is more interested in getting another ice cream cone.

Agree 100%.

And I'd just like to add Hawaii's people have no clue (or very little) of what it's really like in the rest of our country.
