“The Taliban must immediately release Mark before it can expect any consideration of its aspirations for legitimacy. This is not negotiable.”

And that’s not a negotiation? Trading something for something? Has this guy got any perception of what he is saying?

Yes, this is how Democrats would have us “negotiate” with tyrants on international affairs, or the thug while he is robbing you on the subway.

And tell me again how the vote was not stolen

We now have zero leverage in Afghanistan. Biden truly has the IQ of a potato. Potatus.

Taliban should come back at him and say, “Just as soon as you release all the J6 prisoners.”

Recognize the Taliban? Brandon is a traitor. He should be tried, found guilty and hanged with a short rope.

Don't kid yourself. Plenty of Congressional Republicans would take that route too.
