And Here We Go!---Breaking News: Taliban Now Confiscating U.S. Passports To Prevent Them From Leaving The Country
Breitbart ^ | August 21, 2021 | Wendell Husebo

The Kabul airport gates are reportedly closed Saturday, as additional details indicate the Taliban is confiscating U.S. passports.

“All of the entrance gates to the airport were closed on Saturday morning because of the dangerous situation,” the New York Times reported, adding that the U.S. embassy in Kabul is advising evacuees not to travel to the airport in light of “security threats.”

"Because of potential security threats outside the gates at the Kabul airport,” the embassy alerted on its website, “we are advising U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates at this time unless you receive individual instructions from a U.S. government representative to do so.”

The active security threats come as the New York Post reported the Taliban is “now attempting to take their U.S. passports and identification orders in an attempt to stop them from leaving the country.”

We knew this was coming. Get ready for the biggest United States hostage crisis ever as the Taliban get ready to celebrate their own 20th anniversary of 9-11. This will be even more humiliation than the actual fall of Afghanistan itself.

With KH out of the country can’t enact 25th amendment. She is the one who has to enact it according to Constitution.

“In fact, working in close coordination with the management of the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal, we have successfully evacuated all 204 of their employees in Afghanistan on U.S. military aircraft earlier this week.” - Biden August 20, 2021

It won’t be much of a crisis if Demented Joe pays for their release. Those 169 Americans who were airlifted out yesterday, a mile outside of the airport? How do you think that arrived their together? That had $$$$$ written all over it.

Are Joe’s puppeteers preparing his resignation speech while getting their Giggles Kamala puppet ready to take over?

Towards the end of the article:
“ In another report, the Taliban even attacked CNN’s camera crew.”

Doesn’t make grabbing passports right, but it does raise them a notch...

Really? I didn’t know it had to be the VP to enact it. I thought it had to be a consensus of the cabinet.

If this comes to pass, millions of us need to exercise our right to protest and show up in DC.

They are now hostages, pure and simple. This is the Iran hostage crisis on steroids. Either they will ask for enormous sums of money which Biden will happily provide, or it will take a Trump victory in 2024 for their release.

The Taliban is not as “understanding” as the Ayatollah.

They want outright revenge.
