WSJ ^ | 8.26.21 | Yaroslav Trofimov

The U.S. ambassador in Kabul has told staff there that four U.S. Marines were killed in an explosion at the city’s airport and three wounded, a U.S. official with knowledge of the briefing said. Two explosions ripped through crowds of Afghans trying to enter the airport on Thursday.

At least three U.S. troops were injured, a U.S. official said. Witnesses reported multiple fatalities among the Afghans, many of whom were trying to enter the airport because they had assisted U.S.-led coalition efforts and feared persecution by the Taliban.

I spoke to my older brother a little while ago. He’s a former 1st. Lieutenant ,1st Marine Division. He’s beyond words. This piece of s**t president needs to be impeached.

White House silent, no updates in the past 5 hours since the explosions.

This would never happen under a Trump administration, but if it did Congress would have an impeachment vote tonight.

This is the deadliest single day in the War for US troops since 2011:

The worst day for American casualties in Afghanistan was on Aug. 6, 2011, when a CH-47 Chinook helicopter carrying Navy SEALs was shot down by a rocket-propelled grenade over eastern Afghanistan. Thirty Americans, including 22 Navy SEALs, were killed in the crash.

There was a car bomb here. The Tallyd have a dozen checkpoints going bvb to Karzai. Not one of them picked this up. They are in on it and the lives of their own don’t matter. Sacrifices to Allah.

The difference between Trump and the Democrats.

Trump was one man. The Democrats are a Team, it really doesn’t matter who is in the White House, the same people are going to run the show. That’s why impeaching Joe won’t make much difference.
