WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden is slated to address the nation from the White House Monday afternoon after the Taliban seized the presidential palace in the war-weary Afghan capital of Kabul, a dramatic development that marks the apparent end to a 20-year American era in the country.

Kirby at the Pentagon just announced Americans will not have priority over Afghanis to be airlifted from Afghanistan. Tens of thousands of Afghanis will be sent to American military bases in the US. They will not be sent to middle eastern countries that are accepting refugees.

These asswipes are American Last, while putting our soldiers in harms way.

“Fly Me to Kabul”.... “and let me see the crap I’ve done”

“in other words..... “ I’m the stupidest dumba@@ to ever have been in the Executive Office. Including the puppeteers who tell me what to say and prompt me through earpieces on wireless.

That’ll be interesting

No it won’t be like Carter.

It will be unprecedented like this whole mess is unfolding to be

Most interesting will be the media faces scrambling for position. They’re antiamerican but don’t meant o ...eh. No... tge taliban is friendly when they chant death to America

They’ll see Biden for what he is. Then what.

American Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a CNN interview on Sunday that the administration of President Joe Biden “can work with and recognize” a Taliban government in Afghanistan that respects women and “doesn’t harbor terrorists.”

The horrible reality at the Kabul airport! Thanks to our brain dead Potus, Blinken and whomever is controlling them!

AP: Biden administration is currently in negotiations with Boeing (NYS-BA) to retrofit it’s military transport planes with external seatbelts. The administration is seeking fastening belts attached to the outside of the planes for easy runway access. 2 posted on 8/16/2021, 7:41:32 AM by kjam22

PDJT: “I personally had discussions with top Taliban leaders whereby they understood what they are doing now would not have been acceptable,” he said, noting that if he was still president, he would have focused on a “conditions-based” withdrawal.”

PDJT knew what he was doing, and how to do it.

The stolen election of 2020 has been an unmitigated disaster for America.

I don’t want a speech. I want a full press event with questions. Hard questions!

No stumbling through a TelePromter speech and then running off to hide in your basement.

Biden: “We inherited this mess” and are trying to make the best out of Trump and Pompeo’s failed policies, they got us into this.

Now I’ll answer questions, uh, let me consult the card here, uh, of reporters who have submitted approved questions, O.K. ugh how about we start with Yamiche Alcindor, PBS.
