‘We Don’t Have The Capacity To Collect Large Numbers Of People’, Says Administration With Thousands Of Kids In Cages

WASHINGTON, DC—Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin explained to the press that the world's greatest military superpower will simply have to cross its fingers that Americans can get out of Afghanistan alive because we don't have things like planes or guns to help get people out.

"The military would really love to help, but we just can't," said Secretary Austin. "Fighting terrorists, securing safe passage to airports, flying planes—that's just not our thing. We're more into diversity training and free gender transition surgeries, to be honest. That's the stuff that's more in our wheelhouse."

According to sources, the government is still managing to detain hundreds of thousands of people at the southern border. When asked by reporters why the government has the capacity for one and not the other, the Defense Secretary just shrugged and said "Huh. I dunno. I just work here. Did I mention I'm the first African American Secretary of Defense? That's pretty cool, huh? I have that goin' for me anyway."

The Defense Secretary confirmed they plan to just have the military wait around at the Kabul Airport eating MREs and drinking RipIt energy drinks until hopefully, some Americans show up to the planes thanks to the Taliban giving them safe passage.

"Yeah, we totally trust the Taliban, they're great guys," said Austin.

What they mean is they can collect some people, just not "large numbers" of people. So let the groveling and currying of favor begin. These leftist elitists love to have people dependent upon them... So those that will pledge to be "Oh so helpful" may just find their lives saved...

The entire situation is disgusting.

The article had me going. I thought it was a factual article, and not satire, at first. Well, it seems so plausible!

They say this when for six months they’ve hunted down and imprisoned roughly 500 people for the January 6 demonstration.

The fed government can welcome a half million illegal aliens and fly them all over the country but they can’t evacuate thousands of US citizens from Afghanistan.

Very soon the Bee is going to come out with a piece that almost exactly mirrors a news release. This one has an excellent chance.
