Our current President is holed up in a basement; won’t answer any questions from the press.
Our last President is banned from social media and silenced.
Our only news source on Afghanistan is from the Taliban, who hold press conferences and have an uncensored Twitter account.

If Biden believes so deeply in NATO why hasn’t he spoken to any of our NATO allies about the chaos in Afghanistan?

Q: “Will the US government commit to ensuring that any Americans that are currently on the ground in Afghanistan get out?”
SULLIVAN: “We have asked them all to come to the airport to get on flights and take them home.”

This press briefing is nothing but talking ab[ut how hard Biden has been working and the hard decisions he has made.
I’m confused. Are you wanting to buy just the mp3, the albumn or what?
I’m assuming you’re referring to the explicit version? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0979NGFZ6/ref=ap_ws_tlw_trk1

Jake Sullivan was just asked if Americans are safer now than after Democrat President Joe Biden’s disastrous decisions in Afghanistan.
HE DID NOT ANSWER.
SULLIVAN: Biden hasn’t spoken to world leaders since Kabul fell

Several U.S. media reports have estimated somewhere between 10,000 to 40,000 American citizens are still in Afghanistan as of Tuesday.
“An administration official who was not authorized to speak on the record told me that there are an estimated 10,000 U.S. citizens in the country, with the vast majority in or near Kabul. Some are residents, journalists or aid workers who may not want to leave,” Josh Rogin wrote in the Washington Post. “Most are scrambling to escape. Some are dual nationals or children of Americans who may not have the proper passport or visas, but the State Department has not told them how to fix their paperwork.”
The Daily Mail reported 40,000 Americans are stranded in Afghanistan, while a White House official reported only 700 Americans will be evacuated Tuesday. Monday saw 150 Americans evacuated, a Newsy reporter tweeted:

Two things stuck out to me.....
We asked people to leave earlier and they didn’t want to leave. (So it’s not our fault they are stuck there.)
We had no idea that the Tolly-bon would advance as fast as they did. (Many IC have come forward to say they were briefing Biden Regime what the Tolly-bon was doing and so it should not have been a surprise.)
Only 700 Americans today? And they’re making children of Americans fix their paperwork, yet Afghans that just rush on board get away.
Biden “has not yet spoken with any other world leaders” since Kabul fell to the Taliban.
***How reliable is that? That is a deep indicator, I would presume at least some right wing media would be all over it.
So they were warned, but think they know better.
LOL Yes, there is this.

@AnnCoulter
On the bright side, Biden has figured out a way to unite the entire country.
Btw...found out The bill did pass but the 3.5 trillion spending for it has not yet. Crazy.
I took Jake saying that the people wanting to stay and not leave was on them, not the Biden Regime’s problem now.
A cop out!
Do we really believe Sullivan, though?
Sounds like a plan to me.

What if we load the empty planes going back to Afghanistan with immigrants coming in from the southern border and we just tell them that’s Arizona or something?

There is some speculation floating around social media (mostly, but not totally, from the right) that Democrats may try to pull the 25th Amendment card on Biden to push him aside and bring Kamala Harris forward in an effort to save face in this moment of geopolitical crisis. It is some of the same speculation you saw several times when the Left called for members of the Trump administration to turn on Trump and invoke the amendment.
However, the Democrats have put themselves into such a terrible position that they absolutely cannot get rid of Biden through this means, or else they give up the only chance they have to get anything through the Senate, and they would definitely hurt their electoral chances in 2022 and 2024.
Amendment XXV
Section 1
In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.
Section 2
Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.
This is a problem for the Democrats. Kamala Harris is currently the tie-breaking vote in the Senate, and Republicans are only crossing over if Mitch McConnell supports a bill or if he realizes the Republicans will lose the fight anyway. He has a very tight grip on his caucus, and he can get his 50 votes whipped if he wants to make a stand. So far, he hasn’t had to. But there is a lot of power to be had in a 50-50 Senate with no tie-breaking vote, and he will take advantage of it.
So, Kamala Harris becoming the President via the 25th Amendment means the Democrats lose their tie-breaking vote in the Senate, and without a 51st vote, there is no way for the Democrats to break a tie in the Senate in order to confirm a replacement Vice President. They are effectively stuck.
Lol, they think Mitch and GOP Senators wouldn’t pass any dem, even Omar. For VP?
At the link, there is a video of it being said during the press conference today.
I suppose they could be lying, but that is what was said by the Biden admin itself.
