“....Taliban thugs using whips and pipes to beat men, women, and children who try to go to the airport...”

They’ve got nothing on democrat Chicago.

Still 32 detainees at Gitmo. Couple 1000 American as a trade off.

Administration officials like National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, White House Spokesman Jen Psaki, and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin refuse to guarantee that they will evacuate all Americans.

That could be the nail in Biden's coffin if another hostage situation arises like it did in Iran. People will be out for blood.

Sounds plausible, and it might happen very quickly.

Hostages. That Taliban guy will squeeze everything he can from the US; both Biden and 0bama are traitors.

I feel like a hostage in my own country. Old white men like me are the most persecuted, vilified, ill treated, demographic in the country. America is gone. No leadership, no honor, no law and order, no constitution, and the only thing that is holding anything together is Christian hope and love and charity and when the Holy Spririt catches the last train for the coast it will become hell on earth.

I’m worried about our troops. They will be the last ones out of there.

It’s not gonna be pretty.
The only way I can see they can get out is to have the Taliban give them escorted passage to the airport.
And so far, the Taliban has said no to that.

I don’t understand why any Americans are still in Afghanistan. They should have been streaming out the day we closed Bagram AF Base.

I don’t have much sympathy for those that decided to take a chance in this hell hole.

“The only reason the media is going after Biden is because Harris is the next play.”

interesting issue: Senate is split 50-50, so if Harris becomes Prez, there’s no tie breaker AND the Constitution requires a majority of the Senate to agree to appoint a new VP, thus the GOP could prevent a new VP from being appointed, and therefore prevent the Dems from getting a Senate majority for any future part of their destroy-America agenda ...

Why can’t we have attack helicopters, or 130 gunships in the air covering and escorting transport trucks picking our people up? First Taliban attack, and they are dead, I think they would get the message. I no nothing about war but this seems logical.

Maybe Afghan pilots flew them to neighboring countries for sale to the terrorists there.

Above I said, "Sounds plausible, and it might happen very quickly."

Of course, it requires that Harris go along with what the party tells her to do, and there is a fair chance that she will simply refuse. This is her big chance! First female president!
