Americans and Afghani allies. They are being round up and killed know.

I live near a large airport for US transport airplanes (5 miles as the crow flies). Unfortunately I have not heard any taking off.

If America rounded up 3,000 everyday Americans and told them to run the Stare Department we would get a better result by far than we do now.

Yeah, Boris is a disappointment. The Torries lost all the balls after Maggie.

he’s blaming everyone but himself.

Trump had an agreement with the Taliban. We’re in the next house over. Mess up and we will hurt you. Bigly. It’s worked for the last year and a half and it was a good policy going forward that didn’t distract from other missions in surrounding countries. Biden lied when he said there was nothing in place.

Biden must resign. Harris must resign. The congressional dem leadership must resign and take some generals with them out the door.

Biden is an incompetent buffoon. He and Harris OWN THIS DEBACLE OF STUPIDITY. 5 to 7 thousand Taliban prisoners set free at Bagram AFB yesterday. Now thousands of Afghans will be raped and killed. I spent a year there as a US Army Infantryman - all for nothing and we’ll just have to fight these scum again. Biden is such a moron he makes Jimmy Carter look like a genius. Makes me very angry at these idiots.

"Not any more."

Perhaps not. Too many of the smart ones were taken out by attempting the "Tide Pod Challenge."

Spot on. They saw what we saw, an incompetent doddering fool hiding in his basement during the entirety of his campaign and they still were desperate to assist in the propaganda to elect him. What about roosters coming home? With the Beeb’s help, Biden’s dark winter is now upon all of us.

The Limeys (as you put it) didn’t all hate Trump.

It was about 50/50 and rather like Brexit. Your typical Brexit voter would be a Trump supporter.

It’s been a long time since the BBC spoke for the majority in the UK.

That is mathematically reasonable. In a random sample of 3,000 the over-educated, doctrinaire, arrogant, and willfully ignorant should statistically only be a small minority.
