It is no longer morning in America. Now many are mourning America. Primitive Taliban savages just routed allegedly American-trained Afghan forces, waltzing across Afghanistan in a matter of days. Resistance-- and the erstwhile Afghani government-- collapsed like paper lambs because the Afghan forces did not believe in their cause and the government didn’t either. Much as those in charge of the U.S. no longer believe in American exceptionalism and the founding principles on which their nation was proudly built, and because of which it succeeded beyond any other in human history.
The Biden administration claims that the Afghanistan fiasco is in no way a repeat of the Saigon Surrender of ’75, even though it looks remarkably like that very thing, replete with frightened and betrayed souls falling from aircraft, one of which appeared to be the same exact model of helicopter that we saw fleeing Saigon in April of 1975. When it's raining people, literal hangers-on who have tragically lost their grip on their last chance for life and liberty, you know things aren't right.
Yet, U.S. Secretary of State Antony (Winken) Blinken (and Nod) rejected any comparisons to the U.S.’s frantic and chaotic pullout from Vietnam over 45 years ago. “This is not Saigon” he said on ABC. Good one. You got us there. No, it's technically Kabul… but other than that it's Saigon ’75.
Afghan president Ashraf Ghani wasn’t any more forthcoming, as he quickly boarded a plane and fled the country, after which he posted on Facebook that he left to “avert bloodshed in the capital.” Yes, his bloodshed. He did not tell anyone where he went.
As the American flag was lowered from the $700 million U.S. Embassy, America’s esteem was likewise lowered, around the world and probably even at home.

The Douche State who stole elections and knew better, at it again. So long we are woke a f , we are safe...
Not just Biden, but this is a culmination of hysterical Covid antiTrunpism of Rinocrat election thieves who had no faith in the US governance.
In reality, it's much worse. The idea that American Citizens are NOT first is unbelievable.
This has to be “Chinese Water Torture” for the American family’s at home. This evac will not end well.
Another operation Fast and Furious, nuke dollars for Iran etc...
Kabul is worse than Saigon. No video of people falling to their deaths during the Saigon evacuation.
It sure is.
“Morning in America”... reminds me of the 1984 Ronald Reagan re-election commercial.
It is impossible to un-see what we have just witnessed. BIDEN, is he the anti-Christ come to destroy?
Must claim, he’s certainly doing a bang up job.
Perhaps you can make a four frame meme showing these 2 helicopter pictures together with 2 pictures showing the Saigon picture of the many people climbing up the ladder to get to the embassy rooftop and a picture from Kabul Airport of the people climbing up the ladder to get onto a plane. I think the pictures of the crowds of people desperately climbing up the ladders is even more descriptive of the horrors of what is happening.
Ike was prepared to die by his own hand if the D-Day invasion failed.
Someone needs to show Milley into a room that has a bottle of his favorite liquor and a loaded .45 in it.
Either that or lock him up in a jail cell and give him a little sharpened up piece of bamboo.
“After the fair trial.”

I agree. You know FDR wouldn’t let Americans leave the PI in Nov-DEc of 1940. That’s how come there were thousands of Americans in Japanese concentration camps.
Not a soul I know knows anything about WWII in Asia. Not one. The ones who knew must have gotten too old and died or gotten too old and don’t remember anything anyway—so why does it matter? I think it is only a factor of time before the same thing happens here with the non-vaccinated (who knew better than to let those spike proteins enter their bodies)but didn’t understand the insanity prevaling in the Woke pop.
General Miley is at least incompetent.
