Did President Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan leave you stranded in a terrorist-controlled country?
Hopefully, you have $2,000 to cough up to the U.S. government.
If not, it might be wise to brush up on Sharia law, because you might be stuck for a while.

Trending: Biden Administration Announces It Will Cancel Student Debt, But Only for a Certain Group of People This shocking revelation was buried deep in a Politico article published on Thursday.
“Even though U.S. officials tell NatSec Daily and others that evacuation flights from Kabul will be free, people trying to catch a plane in the Afghan capital say differently,” the outlet reported.
“One person said State Department staff were seeking large payments — up to $2,000 — from American passengers and even more from non-U.S. citizens.”
Politico asked the State Department if this was, in fact, true.
In response, an official spokesperson didn’t deny it.
“U.S. law requires that evacuation assistance to private U.S. citizens or third country nationals be provided ‘on a reimbursable basis to the maximum extent practicable.’ The situation is extremely fluid, and we are working to overcome obstacles as they arise,” the spokesperson told Politico.
This sort of doublespeak non-answer might as well be an admission of guilt.
Thanks to Biden’s overly hasty plan to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan, between 10,000 and 15,000 Americans have been left trapped in the country under Taliban rule.
When chaos began to reign in Afghanistan following the withdrawal, those Americans received a less-than-promising message from the Biden administration.

Did we do this to Americans caught in Germany, Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, The Gulf, or Iraq?
Money doesn't grow on trees.
Sure be nice to here some REPUBLICANS bitch about this. Does ANYONE think that the Trump would be getting a pass here?
Hey TED CRUZ, you back from Mexico yet? If so, how about SAYING SOMETHING here?
*unless you get 10% to the big guy, then things magically happen....
But for illegal aliens: free airflight to wherever you want!
And housing
And food
And clothing
Etc.
Iran?...................10% for the Big Guy..................
10% to the “big guy”, with choice of little girls, too?
If true, this is the most tone-deaf move ever by any administration.
SMH
Did the Afghans on that C-17 pay?
Coyote-in-Chief.
Fake news
Just say you’re an illegal alien and want to vote for dims....you’ll be here in 24 hours.
The way the regime prints and burns cash what’s $2000?! The thinking is something like this, “these individuals were probably promoting democracy or working with the military. Do we really want that type coming back to America?”.
He’s going to spend much more than 2000 on each Afghan “refugee” that he brings into the USA.
A government’s first obligation is to its citizens. Other countries know that and are evacuating their citizens. The USA, under the puppet of the chicoms and the taliban, has abandoned US citizens in Afghanistan.
One more block falls. There are a few more that they must topple before the USA falls entirely into the hands of the hate-America complex (composed of chicoms, islamists, BLM, antifa).
When the last block does finally fall, remember that obama was the brains, soros the pocketbook, china the impetus, islam the threat, and biden the willing puppet.
Bought your prayer rug yet?
Call me skeptical.
Money doesn't grow on trees.
Just have your family buy one of Hunter's paintings and you're good to go!
If true, this is the most tone-deaf move ever by any administration.

It’s also just plain EVIL and right out of their play book ... ask the 3 guys who barely managed to survive Benghazi despite the DemonRat administration.
If not them, then who? Their employer? Shouldn't they be responsible, or at least feel responsible?
