As the Biden administration grapples with the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan, Biden’s State Department has joined with the UN Security Council in calling for a new government in Afghanistan that “is united, inclusive, and representative. Including with the full and meaningful participation of women.”

Are you kidding me?
The Taliban don’t exactly have a stellar record when it comes to women’s rights in the first place. The liberation of Afghanistan under President George W. Bush enabled girls to go to school and women to have more rights. Now, Afghan women are afraid to lose those rights again. Does the Biden administration really believe that “full and meaningful participation of women” in a Taliban-controlled government is possible when women are going to be made second-class citizens again?
And, here in the United States, the word “inclusive” doesn’t simply mean equal rights for men and women of all races. Does the Biden administration hope that the Taliban will take some cues from Joe Biden and have transgenders serve in their government? Does anyone really believe that radical Islamists, known for throwing homosexuals off of buildings, will try to win diversity points with the United Nations and the Biden administration?

It is not enough to oppose them as if they were rational actors.
LOL!
Taliban announce ‘amnesty,’ urge women to join government
Following a blitz across Afghanistan that saw many cities fall to the insurgents without a fight, the Taliban have sought to portray themselves as more moderate than when they imposed a brutal rule in the late 1990s. But many Afghans remain skeptical.
Following a blitz across Afghanistan that saw many cities fall to the insurgents without a fight, the Taliban have sought to portray themselves as more moderate than when they imposed a brutal rule in the late 1990s. But many Afghans remain skeptical.
Older generations remember the Taliban’s ultraconservative Islamic views, which included severe restrictions on women as well as public stonings and amputations before they were ousted by the U.S-led invasion following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

The capital of Kabul remained quiet for another day as the Taliban patrolled its streets and many residents stayed home, remain fearful after the insurgents’ takeover saw prisons emptied and armories looted. Many women have expressed dread that the two-decade Western experiment to expand their rights and remake Afghanistan would not survive the resurgent Taliban.
Germany, meanwhile, halted development aid to Afghanistan over the Taliban takeover. Such aid is a crucial source of funding for the country — and the Taliban’s efforts to project a milder version of themselves may be aimed at ensuring that money continues to flow.
The promises of amnesty from Enamullah Samangani, a member of the Taliban’s cultural commission, were the first comments on how the Taliban might govern on a national level. His remarks remained vague, however, as the Taliban are still negotiating with political leaders of the country’s fallen government and no formal handover deal has been announced.
“The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan with full dignity and honesty has announced a complete amnesty for all Afghanistan, especially those who were with the opposition or supported the occupiers for years and recently,” he said.
Other Taliban leaders have said they won’t seek revenge on those who worked with the Afghan government or foreign countries.
But some in Kabul allege Taliban fighters have lists of people who cooperated with the government and are seeking them out. A broadcaster in Afghanistan said she was hiding at a relative’s house, too frightened to return home much less return to work following reports that the insurgents are also looking for journalists. She said she and other women didn’t believe the Taliban had changed their ways. She spoke on condition of anonymity because she feared for her safety.

Lecturing and virtue signaling is a great way to get chimpanzees to love you and follow your lead!
(does not work real well with homo sapiens, though....)”
Actually it appears to work well with about half of the dumbed-down Americans.
When someone says “inclusive” to me it is like waving a red flag in front of a bull.
The Taliban probably feel even more anger when they hear it.
This is incitement to be-headings and terror attacks.
Because virtue signaling is the most important thing. At least to what passes for a mind in a libtard. Survival--meh.
This sounds like something Nancy would say
Mixing Transvestites and Talibunnies. What could possible go wrong?
Send them the US Embassy Gay Pride flags as a peace gesture.
Isn’t it just like liberals to screech out demands as they leave after getting an azz kicking?
Nice; +1
“especially those who were with the opposition or supported the occupiers for years and recently,” he said.”
This reminds of those LEO websites that offer to check your meth or fentanyl for gluten. “Just bring it in for a totally free complimentary checkup.”
Joe’s merry administration seems to not understand THEY LOST THE WAR!! Gave up. Ran home with our tail between our legs. Morons.
This sounds fantastic. The Biden Administration should exclusively appoint women, LGBT’s, and ethnic minorities to be ambassadors of the US to Afghanistan. Heck, send Kamala on an extensive “Listening Tour” to see how best to engage with the Taliban going forward, in each and every corner of the country.
I’m still wondering what was up with Joe’s nose. Several options below
1). Surgery scars to stop the growth of Pinocchio Joe’s nose.
2). Wearing eight COVID Masks at one time.
3). Nose cartilage is rotting from the inside out from excessive cocaine use.
4). Mask was used for oxygen treatments to make him more alert.
5). Allergic reaction to some little girls hair shampoo.
Losers don’t get to make demands after losing the war.
There’s no one more accepting of gay, trans and other deviants than Islamo-fascists.
I think we should send “Rachel” Levine to give the Taliban medical assistance.
The Taliban has softened.
