Why does Team Biden insist on telling lies that even it can’t keep up for more than a day? Does it really think its shameless spinning can contain the public fury or that Americans will just forget those left behind in the dishonorable exit from Afghanistan?
It’s been insisting that fewer than 100 Americans are stranded in the land the Taliban now controls. But a reported 143 US citizens and green-card holders alone are stuck at Mazar-i-Sharif’s airport, booked on waiting planes the Taliban won’t let leave.
More than a week after President Joe Biden declared his evacuation an “extraordinary success,” countless Americans remain de facto hostages. And his minions’ efforts to spin away the truth is pathetic.
White House Press Secretary Psaki said Tuesday that “just under” 100 Americans were left in Afghanistan, but others, including Rep. Issa (R-Calif.), put the number of those wanting out at 500 — all victims of Biden’s broken promise to “stay until we get them all out.”
The administration won’t even estimate how many hundreds of green-card holders — lawful permanent US residents — remain. Heck, it barely deigns to mention them.

It is jaw dropping how Biden can lie at every turn, and the media stays silent. Remember the websites with tabulations of Trump exaggerations? The constant fact checks done to a ridiculous level.
This all works for them because the media controls the dumb masses.
“It’s been insisting that fewer than 100 Americans are stranded in the land the Taliban now controls”
...so I guess that under 100 is ok to these WH stealing thugs?!
But a reported 143 US citizens and green-card holders .....
Afghani’s that went home to see the family. Oh well.
Sorry. Not sorry. Hate it for ‘em. Sucks to be them.
Biden has already dropped Afghanistan and is now focused on preparing us for the next series of decrees to imprison us to solve the “climate change crisis”.
Somebody supported these stupid Democrat sons of bitches.
Hey, remember when the media breathlessly reported low poll numbers for Republican presidents?
Yeah, good times.
They can lie because of the corrupt media.
I’m getting the feeling even Democrats don’t like Democrats anymore.
