80,000,000 folks voted for this ineptitude and maleficence.

No, but there may have been that many ballots.

But the media is now saying that the Taliban is nice. They like to play on trampolines, drive bumper cars and now support women’s rights. They’re almost as authentic as the FR fake doctors.

I hear they are now offering free sex changes for anybody joining their ranks. They have really done a true 180.

Gee.
Biden announced withdrawals in April. They started in May.
WTF are they doing still in Afghanistan?

Not sure why they were still there? It’s kind of your fault if you don’t evac before the hurricane.

My suspicion is that the U.S. and Afghan government deliberately lied to these people in Afghanistan in the months leading up to the May 1st (then September 11th) departure dates. This would be done to avoid the obvious PR problems Afghanistan would face if large numbers of its residents who had been working with the Americans suddenly started packing up and leaving. The chaos and bedlam we've seen over the last couple of days would have happened months ago.

It's like the obvious signal that goes out to the public when everyone working at your local police precinct calls out sick and is seen driving out of your town in an SUV loaded up with everything they could fit in it.

If they wanted to leave, how much paperwork via the State Dept etc would be required?

It figures. Let the rag heads on the planes as many as can be hauled and without papers. Make the Americans wait for proper documentation.

Oh, well, that’s show biz.

10K to 40K thats’ quite a range !

Difficult to beleive that the State & Defense departments don’t know precisely how many are there.

Incorrect. There were 80 million or so votes for Presidentish Zhao Bai Den. How many were cast by actual voters is a very different number. . .

How many contractors, NGOs, embassy people could there be? Especially since everyone knew this day was eventually coming.

Money. A brother-in-law was talking about going and taking a civilian contract. Could make many times what he was earning from his contract with military in Hawaii. His wife balked about moving overseas, so he hesitated. Good thing he stayed put.

They thought they could blame it on Trump….in the end that will be the media talking point….they couldn’t cover it up short term because too many outlets from around the world were there to witness the carnage…it has already started….the Taliban is playing nice because they are getting everything they want..

I know CornPop didn’t get 80 million. I’m betting barely half that, maybe.

Forgot to add my, /sarc thing at the end.
