President Joe Biden claimed in an interview Wednesday no one was getting killed around the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, despite reports of 12 deaths in the area.
From the transcript:
STEPHANOPOULOS: Still a lotta’ pandemonium outside the airport.
BIDEN: Oh, there is. But, look, b– but no one’s being killed right now, God forgive me if I’m wrong about that, but no one’s being killed right now. People are– we got 1,000-somewhat, 1,200 out, yesterday, a couple thousand today. And it’s increasing. We’re gonna get those people out.
But people are being killed right now in and around the airport in Kabul.
On Thursday, NATO officials said that 12 people have been killed in and around the airport in Kabul since Sunday, prompting the Taliban to urge people to leave the airport.

“We don’t want to hurt anyone at the airport,” said the Taliban official to Reuters.
There is also violence elsewhere in Afghanistan.
An independence rally in Asdabad was disrupted after the Taliban opened fire on protesters, according to reports on Thursday.

Report Claims Multiple Fatalities After Taliban Open Fire at Afghan Independence Rally
Depends on your meaning for the phrase “right now”
yes - right now? probably not but by the end of this sentence - yes.
Babies are being tossed over the walls to the waiting U.S. and U.K. military to save them.

From NY Post:
“The mothers were desperate, they were getting beaten by the Taliban. They shouted, ‘Save my baby!’ and threw the babies at us. Some of the babies fell on the barbed wire,” a Parachute Regiment officer told the UK’s Independent.
“It was awful what happened. By the end of the night there wasn’t one man among us who was not crying,” he added quietly.
Anyone missing me, yet?
Arguments can be made about the US policy to pull out - there is a strong feeling that US involvement couldn't continue ad infinitum. But the manner of the withdrawal has been hapless, with a mass of miscalculation, warnings ignored, and - critically - a wild over-estimation of the capability of the American-trained Afghan armed forces.
The policy may have been framed by Donald Trump when he was president, but Joe Biden owns this unfolding chaos.
Anyone missing me, yet?
How did the withdrawal from Syria and Iraq go under Trump? I haven’t heard much.
Joe Biden is a disaster of the first magnitude for this country. Harris his successor is not any better. We are so screwed with these two in power.
BIDEN: LOOK! That was four-five minutes ago!
STEPHANOPOULOST: But it's still going on
BIDEN: LOOK! That was four-five seconds ago!
STEPHANOPOULOST: But it's still going ongoing on
BIDEN: LOOK! That was four-five nano seconds ago!
STEPHANOPOULOST: But it's still going ongoing on
BIDEN: Where's my pudding?
Translation: "That ain't even happenin' yet!"
” But, look, butt wiped.”
STEPHANOPOULOST: But it’s still going ongoing on
BIDEN: Come on man! You want me and popsicle Thursday or Friday evening, unless I went to the store, my pockets were replaced when i wasn’t looking, but it’s going to be Thursday that comes before Friday one of these days I thjnk. Unless they have changed that? Jill, did they change it? If you think about it, yellow is not only up and down, but left and before dinner too. If I were back in college, this place would smell. Of rock lobsters. Did I mention that I fought in iraq?
Stephie: Well said sir. Strong. Decisive.
It also depends on the meaning of “no one”. I think he meant “no one that I care about”.
Ask yourself: Would you bet your life on ANYTHING Idiot Joe says?
What he meant is that no one who gives 10% to the ‘Big Guy’ is being killed.
Biden: “...b– but no one’s being killed right now...”
Right now????!!!! But tomorrow???
Don’t we have some kind of leader. Straight out of 8th grade mentality. Unheard in world history, that the greatest, strongest nation that ever existed has that decrepit, senile, befuddled, evil old man as president and everyone knows that and everyone looks around and no one can think to send the idiot packing.
And I can’t fault Americans because he was not elected. I noticed Emmett Tyrell, the former fearless conservative spokesman, allowed that he was this morning. No wonder the country is falling. Most of our leaders are too gutless to stand up and stand firm.
What is the count for today? or shall I say their Thursday which is dark now?
What is the count for each nation?
Where is it?
Will Fakebook ban people who say the Taliban are killing people, raping women and girls, and taking slaves?
God can forgive him, but I won’t!
Will Fakebook ban people who say the Taliban are killing people, raping women and girls, and taking slaves?

Well if you haven’t seen any yet then they already did/have.
My question is where are all the pics of the dead bodies? Usually the MSM can’t wait to show it. Now that I’m thinking on it where are all the Taliban. Certainly not on news feed.
