Good on her!

Nice to see a billionaire use their money for something positive.

She had gone up in my opinion since her stand on transgender nonsense.

I hope they were all real women and not men pretending to be women.

And Biden donated $80 billion in military equipment to the Taliban.

People are so generous to Afghanistan!

Did she demand a refund if a male lawyer managed to escape as well?

“She had gone up in my opinion since her stand on transgender nonsense.”

She went up in my opinion BECAUSE of her transgender stance.

Will this change any opinions by the liberals who have condemned her?

The male lawyers weren’t under a death sentence or any restriction whatsoever.

The women lawyers were facing extermination, one way or another, by the Taliban, and she rescued them and their families.

So presumably this includes their husbands.

Not just liberals...

Every time something positive about her is posted some idiot has to say “She’s a liberal!!!”

Money vs Mouth. Labels are crutches for the weak of mind..

I know. I get so annoyed with FReepers sometimes...they can’t think outside of the labels.

If somebody does something right, praise them for it. When they do something wrong, criticize them. Regardless of label.

But the LGBTQWTF crowd will still hate her because she didn’t donate money to save *trans* lawyers from the Taliban.

Randomly I went to a RUSH concert many many years far from home, after it was over my friend who was driving wanted to show off his ‘super high tech prototype nav system’

We ended up in some little town at 11:55pm with at least 30 children dressed up as witches and fairies marching around town blocking the streets waiting for 12.01am so they could get the new potter book at their local independent bookstore.

I doubt it. Once you're on their bad list, it is next to impossible to redeem yourself in their eyes. They are a vindictive bunch without mercy.

Right after this Afghan disaster started, I started to meet at work Afghans who were able to get young female relatives out of that country. Most of these young ladies wanted to go to med school. They were torn between having freedom and leaving their families.

Also met a bunch of Afghans who were helping Americans during the war. Some made it out with their families, most did not.

The ones who came here alone knew there was a good chance they would be executed if they stayed.

FJB on steroids. And then some.
