Republican tidal wave coming in the midterms

You hope. It's more likely that we will be in lockdown by next summer. Congress, in the name of "helping voters" will pass a bill ordering ALL VOTING be done by mail-in ballot. Next November, (surprise!) not one Republican gets elected/re-elected.

My prediction.

The reporter doesn't give any kind of source for this report, only "I understand that...".

I'm not saying it isn't true, but neither is it verified to the extent that one can jump all over it as if it were. Let's be adults here. At least temper our comments with something like, "If this is true..."

“America may very well be further along in its rot than the Roman Empire.“

As I look around I see many parallels to the fall of the Roman empire. Especially rot from within, your post is spot on.

“Appalling“

It certainly is isn’t it.

We know what sometimes happened to these types in Vietnam. Not so friendly fire.

This guy most likely didn’t do this of his own accord. Probably ordered to do so by that “woke joke” Milley.

This is what the Kenyanesian Usurpation turned our military into.

The only part that may not be true is the quote that we asked for them to stop as it is making us look bad.

The Brits and the French are running patrols and getting folks out, while we are not. These facts that we know without a shadow of a doubt.

From these facts alone, there is no need to temper ourselves. American patrols should be running as we speak, BUT THEY ARE NOT, which is inexcusable.

This is what it looks like when an American President surrenders.

Would have to be by somebody else’s military, ours is as corrupt as the FBI, CIA, etc.

For anyone confused, the answer is VERY SIMPLE: The Taliban is letting British and French Special Forces ‘rescue’ (really pick up) their civilians, but won’t give the US the same permission. And they have access to thousands of Americans to back up their rules.

That’s how things work when you have new masters that you have to answer to.

Right. And that’s why I won’t be buying this story until I see it in a British paper.

I heard about this yesterday 82nd and Brit paras.argued over tactics. That first photo of getting the toddlers over the wall was a Brit. They were not wearing US helmets. Brit said that there wasn’t a dry eye by the end of the day.

Even if Trump was in the White House, our generals still suck. They’re Obama generals, remember?
