Ill keep repeating myself Trump would have walked away and possibly had a ceremony in the rose garden to celebrate amid the ensuing chaos. Fox would have been playing hail to the chief as they floated a possible nobel peace prize. At least Biden is not ignoring the situation. Trump would have flown 1000 Americans out and said it was all fake news and a witch hunt.
See the insurrection. See the kurds. See rocket man. See hate crimes that were at a boiling point because of his mouth. I agree it was a fuck up none the less. Trump would have done the same as you have said many times and would not have tried to make it right.
Biden should be expressing major remorse about his decision at this point besides what he is doing behind the scenes to try and make it right though. Im thoroughly disappointed in the way he is still talking about the mess.

Re: Trump you are peaching to the choir. I have no doubt Trump would have been even worse given his history. But right now there are 10-15k (maybe more) Americans trapped in Taliban controlled territory, some of them, maybe even many of them, aren't going to make it out. Biden turned a stable situation into a catastrophe.

Agreed. And I know i was preaching to the choir. There are many afghan allies, all their families, and other foreign allies also trapped. The longer the cameras and media stay there the better. If the Taliban knows the World is watching they will behave to an extent.
I do find myself wondering how it would have been possible to get all those mentioned out whether we had 2500 troops there or not. Stable situation before? Yes. Everyone singing kumbaya not exactly. So I hesitate to say that there was some yellow brick road before for everyone- especially the Afghanistans that helped us and their families. You are talking mass exodus. Biden could have done an expert job and there would be problems. But he certainly could have cut the losses. Im praying for everyone- EVERYONE- in danger to get out and I hope to God Biden does everything in his power to clean up the mess that he was largely in charge of.

This new third party of Trumpers posing as Republicans crack me the fuck up.
Insurrection- no biggie.

Dude with a bomb talking about blowing up two blocks for the revolution- nothing to see here.

Countless domestic terrorists- not worried.

Afghanistans trying to flee the country who are in fear for their lives - security threat!

These fuckin Trumpers are sick motherfuckers.

Afghanistans (who passed background checks after literally risking their lives helping americans in afghanistan) trying to flee the country who are in fear for their lives - security threat!

Real talk, does anybody think any of those Afghanis who made it onto the C17's weren't ran through a serious background check before they were let on the plane?

We already know many (almost certainly most) weren't, through interviews with the refugees and flight crews. Not a major issue as they weren't brought to the United States. They will get their checks in Qatar.

Realer talk, does anybody think the most dangerous enemies to our democracy aren’t already here posing as patriots? Every intelligence agency in the world says domestic terrorists are the greatest threat to us, and the GOP will not even acknowledge they exist.

This is good news.

Well, that didn't take long reports are Al Qaeda and Islamic State are operating in the vicinity of the Kabul Airport. The President said that Afghanistan was no longer a base for international terrorists just a few days ago as one of the major reasons to justify his idiocy.

Seriously, this is not surprising. Logically, of course terrorist groups would try to take advantage of the chaos to see if they could insert some terrorists over here or at an overseas base to commit some terrorist attack later.

I hope our national defense leadership is aware and takes these threats seriously.

Good news the evacuation is starting to go faster and I think it’s a really big positive that the violence around the airport has subsided. Gotta be vigilant, but really worried about an extremist attack.
