The Taliban took control of the presidential palace in Kabul on Sunday — brazenly posing for pictures inside vacated Afghan government offices and meeting rooms.

The images show heavily armed fighters from the extremist Islamic group standing around one Taliban leader as he sits at the desk of departed President Ashraf Ghani, who fled the capital city, according to reports.

Another photo shows more than a dozen rebels sitting at a long conference table inside the Afghan government building, Al Jazeera reported.

The group announced from the palace that they will reestablish the Islamic emirate that was disbanded after US forces invaded in 2001.

Stolen elections have stolen consequences.

Joseph Stolen is an idiot.

Lots of FGM to start immediately, I'm sure Kamala is thrilled.

Unlike the subversive marxist communist coup by totalitarians in DC, where the US government was fraudulently stolen by criminals, grifters and Death Merchants of Covid, like Biden and Harris, these terrorists just marched in and took it, by military force, in Kabul.

Joe - take credit where credit is due.

They don’t look happy about their success. The should be high-fiving and crushing beer cans on their foreheads.

That’ll come later when they terrorize the female population of Kabul and hang and mutilate a few thousand of their opponents. Then you’ll see the smiles!

Nice JDAM target. If we only had someone in power that would pull the trigger.

Well, it’s taken them 20 long years to achieve their Democratic Win.

Helluva job, Biden.

This probably just cost the Dems the House and possibly the Senate, because I don’t think that they will be able to steal enough votes to swamp the legit votes.

Too bad that it cost a lot of lives and probably lifetimes of even worse misery for the people there.

Disturbing idea: Biden resigns?
