Americans Trapped By Taliban With No Rescue Plan Happy To Hear They Are Not Stranded

KABUL—Americans stuck in Afghanistan with no way to get to the airport or sneak past the Taliban are relieved after White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed that they're not actually stranded.

"It's irresponsible to say these Americans are stranded," said Jen Psaki as she forcefully swatted down a reporter who dared to use the word. "The word 'stranded' is divisive and a little bit dramatic, to be honest. You're only saying they're 'stranded' because you are a pouncing Republican, and because Americans are trapped behind enemy lines with the Taliban and they have little hope of making it to the airport and escaping certain death because we're not doing anything to go get them."

"That's not the same as 'stranded'," she said.

"Whew, what a relief!" said Mohammed Achmed Mohammed, a U.S. Military contractor and translator as he hid under a bed as the Taliban ransacked his house. "All this time I thought we were stranded, but Miss Psaki said we aren't! Great news!"

Psaki was also quick to confirm that the trapped Americans they are doing nothing to help are not 'abandoned', 'forsaken', 'trapped', 'cut-off', 'marooned', 'left high and dry', or 'screwed.'

The Americans stuck in Afghanistan breathed a collective sigh of relief after learning they were none of those things.

So while they are being be-headed they have comfort. No one is getting into any airport to leave.

The left has been allowed to change the plain and clear meaning of language for years, change pronouns, etc. Infrastructure now means all kinds of democrat pork.

Psaki has lost all credibility.

LOL, what's not funny is Psaki playing word games when lives are in danger.

I think there is a decent chance that on Sept 11, 2021, the Taliban will stage a massive beheading ceremony for the world.

Yesterday Facebook had the gall to slap a “Factcheck” on a prayer request for missionaries trapped in Afghanistan, labeling the need for prayer as “False”. The “factcheck” stated there was NO evidence that the Christians were in danger from the Taliban!
Our government and news media are being run by profoundly immature spoiled children.
Jefferson and Washington and the others would have taken up arms against these traitors years ago.

...usually, I just love what the Bab Bee posts, but this time, I am not amused...these Americans caught behind enemy lines are truly going to become stranded, and will be hostages to the ruthless Taliban...when U.S. forces pull out for good after August 31st, there simply won’t be any way to get these thousands of stranded Americans out of that s**thole of a country....when will be public beheadings begin....??
