Well, who could have seen that coming.
I may be wrong, but I feel like we had a reprieve from this crap during Trump’s active Presidency.
And so, it begins. Words cannot express how full of anger and hate I have for this fraud in the White House. The only, only thing that gets me through is the knowledge that in 2022 there is going to be a reckoning for the Democrat Party. However, I hope it is not too late.
Still havent broken any of Biden’s rules so I dont see anything to worry about.
Islam is a religion of peace.....
THREE MARINES DEAD?...............
BIDEN MUST GO!............................NOW!......................
Was the suicide bomber wearing a mask?

***************
A lot of Dems may get tossed out but I’m not at all sanguine about the worthless and spineless Republicans doing much of anything to help right the ship. I have zero confidence in the GOP.
Faddis on Bsnnon’s Warroom just reported his sources on the ground said Christian missonaries with children who were at the airport were ordered out by a two star, to wait for their charter flight that was supposed to leave Kabul today.
Nice job joebama.
3 Marine’s killed.
Their blood is on Biden’s hands.
No. That's not a reckoning for what they have done and are doing.
What would be a reckoning can't be said publicly.
How long with defunded police, woke military intelligence does a similar Terrorist attack happen here?

The US wasn’t full Banana Republic then..
I believe 4 Marines KIA.
By giving up military control of Bagram and Kabul BEFORE we had executed all withdrawal plans, we as much as invited the Taliban, Al Queda and ISIS to disrupt those plans.
We should have kept Bagram running and doing its job with the Afghans military, while we executed our withdrawal plans and until we had completed them. Bagram air base should have been the end not the beginning of our withdrawal.
There won’t be a reckoning if mail-in ballots are allowed and voter ID is not required.
FNC says injured, hope to God they're right
