Back to Square One.
George W. was an idiot. Or is it just not smart ?

There was never an exit strategy.
Not a feasible one anyway.
And if anyone says Trump had one I will laugh so hard I will fall out of my chair.

But this is definitely a Shit Show.
On Biden’s watch.
Trump had one. . .

And get a video.   ;D  :geekdanc:

"Associated Press
Taliban vow to honor women's rights but within Islamic law"

Quote
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Taliban vowed Tuesday to respect women's rights, forgive those who resisted them and ensure a secure Afghanistan as part of a publicity blitz aimed at convincing world powers and a fearful population that they have changed.

Following a lightning offensive across Afghanistan that saw many cities fall to the insurgents without a fight, the Taliban have sought to portray themselves as more moderate than when they imposed a brutal rule in the late 1990s. But many Afghans remain skeptical — and thousands raced to the airport on Monday, desperate to flee the country.

Older generations remember the Taliban’s ultraconservative Islamic views, which included severe restrictions on women as well as public stonings and amputations before they were ousted by the U.S-led invasion following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

As others have in recent days, spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid addressed these concerns head on in his first news conference Tuesday.

Wonder if they have Paypal.  They could make millions. . .

This pretty much explains it.

Afghan withdrawal is being brought to you by some the same minds leading during the time of Benghazi withdrawal 9/11/12.
Anthony Blinken
Jake Sullivan
Jen Psaki
Bill Burns

Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki can’t offer any guarantee that all Americans will be evacuated from Afghanistan



Supposedly 10,000 Americans still in country, also reports that US citizens are NOT granted first priority for evacs.

What people expected to hear at the press conference is biden saying "I f*cked up......"

But instead he laid blame on everyone but himself.  He just doesn't realize that the US leaving Afghanistan was not the issue.  It was the handling of the withdrawal that was so appalling and incompetent.

Yes, President Trump initiated the withdrawal while he was in office.  But biden is the POTUS now.  The responsibility and execution of the withdrawal falls 100% on him and his administration.  Doing the blame game when he is the commander in chief only shows that 40 years in politics does not make a smart man.  It shows a man on the take and a man skilled at spewing bullshit. There are lots of these asshats on capitol hill.  These kinds of people are a dime a dozen.

How he can retreat to Camp David while thousands of US citizens and Afghan supporters are stranded and in danger is beyond comprehension.  He needs to forget his f*ckn vacation, roll up his sleeves, and fix this mess.

The 25th Amendment is in order here.  Get him out.  Then we can also work on doing the same for kamala.

Yes, some people are saying that invoking the 25th Amendment will send a negative message to all our allies and enemies in the world.  That this will damage the integrity and credibility of the US as a superpower and beacon for democracy.

But the damage is done.  The credibility and integrity of the US is gone.  All this in a short period of 7 months of these 2 clowns in office.  We are vulnerable on all fronts, especially the Southern border where anybody and everybody is being let through like a broken dam.

To fix something one needs to throw away the broken parts.  We need to throw away joe and kamala and all the clowns in their administration.  One at a time. 

Start with joe.

Sometimes you gotta know when to save your bullets.

Have you not noticed that the guy is a total racist?

He has several posts literally advocating for eugenics.

My guess is that a lot of his motivation for harassing us comes from his disdain of mixed race people.

OmniGrub is also a racist who believes in eugenics, based on all his pro-abortion / pro-Planned-Parenthood comments.

He believes you can breed poverty and crime out of society, especially in the high crime, high poverty areas where minorities live.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Obama gave $5 Billion to the Taliban AND released 5 Gitmo prisoners to get back 1 US service man who DESERTED.

https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2018/10/30/5-freed-from-gitmo-in-exchange-for-bergdahl-join-insurgents-in-qatar-taliban-says/


Those 5 Gitmo Grads are the ones Qatar flew into Afghanistan and took it back.

Let's keep pretending this is Trumps fault.

It's starting to look like the new thing is the Taliban taking selfies with Ice Cream to mock Biden. Pretty sad they can meme better than the Left. Think of all the little girls they sniff when the camera is off.

Usually when you are a POTUS wing man and you royally screw the pooch you resign to take the heat off your boss, notice not a single one of the people on his team are willing to take the bullet for him?

Asking for prayer:

Just got this from a friend………”Today sadly they just confirmed this terrible news at this time. They can corraborate it in the news. How sad!! Please pray for the 229th Christian missionaries, who have been sentenced to death tomorrow afternoon by the Afghanistan army.The whole planet united in prayer. The radical Islamic group has just taken Quaragosh, the largest Christian city in Iraq. Where there are hundreds Christian men, women and children who are being beheaded. Quaragosh has already been taken several times. They have asked us for prayer, please pass it on to others”

Its a win win for biden/dnc. Media got his back. They could care less about lives or astan. Let thousands of real refugees into the US after being airlifted to various bases. Then they vote, their future kids vote and so on. Later will come the spin to make GOP bad and push the blame more as to deflect from the dnc. So they vote blue. It wont happen overnight.
