    Tree-tard is pushing a white ethno-state agenda. He can’t stand to be reminded this country is actually majority liberal. In his mind immigrants and minorities are the problem. He was caught wishing for dead Americans and I’m sure that is the narrative he is pushing in the aftermath the evacuation.

    I really don't think that's the case, at least from the posts I read. I mean if 100's of thousands of people are crossing our borders illegally every month, how can you not agree that is in fact a serious problem?
    Hey my heart goes out to the innocents down there, its the ones who aren't so innocent that pose a threat to many aspects our way of life.

    America probably is majority liberal, we're a very generous country, but its this binary categorization of people that's messed up. It doesn't come down to you are either on our team or their team.... pizza-gate and tiki torches or Team AOC.... that's just stupid. I'm liberal in many ways, but I'm also very conservative in many other ways. Why does it it have to be one or the other? That's just stupid and I honestly feel that the MSM feeds that mindset. And you know what the result is? An ever growing divisiveness that will only serve to destroy our country from within.

    A couple of points and this is where I will piss you off:

    1. person claiming asylum aren’t crossing the border illegally. Is it a loophole yes. Is it illegal no.

    2. if hundreds of thousands were entering the country illegally every month - that would mean 2 million people every year at least. But our own population estimates don’t show that at the local state or federal levels.

    Is the border a serious problem, yes. Big time. We are fortunate in the way a president can use emergency powers during a pandemic and turn the vast majority around. However, this is a strain on the resources at the border.

    If you ask me, our asylum laws needs to be updated for fast turn around to be the norm. So that this way we can have a 90% turnaround rate no matter if an emergency or not.

    We are certainly a majority liberal country. Are we “generous”, no. We live in a country where the big scam is that if you get something from the government and you’re rich, you’re extolled as a genius but if you’re a working family or poor and you get something from the government you’re an object of ridicule and shame.

    Providing for early child education and care is not generous it’s basic government function in the west. Credits to offset food and housing is normal life in most other western countries.

    So, no, we are not generous unless you are talking about to the wealthy and corporations- who actually have the status of being a person in America. Which is absurd on its face.

    What it comes down to in America is culture wars have replaced common sense. Of course working people could use some relief and of course corporations should not be paying zero taxes - this is common sense stuff.

    People should treat themselves and their families like a corporation. Lobby the government for what you want and get it. No one seems to think it’s a bad idea to cut taxes on millionaires and billionaires so why is it a bad idea to give working people tax credits for childcare or food or housing. It’s all the same.

  5. Just remember that last week we got a stern lecture from Psaki cautioning us that the Americans and others were most definitely not "stranded."

    So I hope those of you who are getting paid to post will not go off script. It takes a pro here to stay with the party line. We know you can do it. They are not stranded. They are just being prevented from leaving by the Taliban.

    The rest of you should not try this trick at home. You have to be a full trance-state lefty to make that kind of argument.

  6. AT LAST!!!

    Commander in Chief Shiite For Brains is getting serious about getting rid of military advisors who he thinks are not suitable.

    Way to go, Shiite For Brains. It's your right to do so but how bout maybe taking care of real business first, given that we have just suffered the most humiliating defeat in American military history. Start by getting rid of the entire senior leadership of the military and the state department and the national security agency and then commit hari-kari out on the National Mall. All of em. President included.

    Nope, but by jeeesuzz we got Sean Spicer and Kelly Ann Conway rooted out of advising military academies. While we leave Bozo the Clown and Ronald McDonald still over at the Pentagon getting ready for our next national disgrace.

    Idiot.

  7. Ya know, on the anniversary of 9/11 Joe will be out and about making commemorative and reflective speeches. Because Joe is so stupid, I doubt very much that he has learned a single thing from his disastrous interactions with survivor families recently. But I am tellin ya, it is not going to go over well at all in the country if he starts right in again talking about how he feels their pain because Beau, Iraq, Corn Pop, whatever. And do I think he is stupid enough to do that all over again? You know I do and so do you. You can't fix that kind of stupid in just a few days.

    So the dems need to be very careful and figure out whose turn it is to watch Joe on 9/11. Could be Jill, could be his Visiting Angel Kamala but for gawds sake keep him on a short leash. He has already killed many servicemembers. Has hostages still in captivity. And the entire Taliban government looks like people that he and Obama returned for an American deserter. Don't push your luck Joe. You start in on that Beau routine on 9/11 and you are toast. - especially if you mix up your son Beau and Beau Bergdahl. Whoa, you can do it Joe.

    Lefties you have been warned. Find some adult supervision for Joe on 9/11.

    Taliban Allow 200 U.S. Citizens to Evacuate, Al Jazeera Says


    (Bloomberg) -- The Taliban have allowed for 200 Americans and other civilians to leave Afghanistan on chartered planes from Kabul airport, Al Jazeera cited an unidentified official from the group as saying.

    The U.S. citizens and Europeans will leave the country on Thursday afternoon, according to the Al Jazeera report. Western countries have said that any engagement with the newly-appointed government in Afghanistan would depend on several factors including allowing safe passage out of Kabul.

    There were no further details on the evacuations. A U.K. diplomat said last week that Qatar was hoping to get military flights out of Kabul to allow evacuations as soon as possible and would offer international partners a quota of seats.

    White House Chief of Staff Ron Klein said about 100 U.S. citizens were left behind in Afghanistan after the international airlift ended. The Biden administration is working to evacuate more Afghans with special immigrant visas.

    The Taliban couldn’t be immediately reached for comment.
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    **** I love that last line...

    "The Taliban couldn’t be immediately reached for comment."

    Come on Bloomberg, get a few of those "2300 reporters worldwide" into some Afghani caves already. :cool:
