It is the defining episode of the Biden presidency and the death of the Democratic Party as we knew it.
Your political opinion is worthless. How did Lindell's symposium turn out? Trump going to be appointed speaker in 2022 so he can invoke the 25th on Biden/Harris, become President again, resign, AND run again and win in 2024? Are you going to pretend you don't believe all of this with every fiber of your being? Your head is so full of dogshit propaganda that it spills out all over our forum every time you watch/read some more.Pretty tough for fucking the incompetent and senile Biden to pull out of Afghanistan when there's still @ 15,000 Americans that he left behind enemy lines. The collapse of the Democratic party has stunned everyone.

He was one of the most powerful politicians in the country and he did nothing to end it during his 8 years as Senator and 8 years as Vice-President. Suck it up buttercup, you and your little dog.
People proclaiming political doom for Biden over this don't understand modern American politics. This is simply too early in his term to define his presidency or be political doom for him no matter how badly it goes. The news cycle is too fast, and Americans have too short of a memory, especially when it comes to anything that does not directly affect them, for this to be a major political issue. This will be forgotten before Christmas. There will be 10 more crises before the next Presidential election, and this one will be ancient history. I give it at best a 40% chance that it will even be mentioned in the debates.People proclaiming political doom for Biden over this are probably quite a bit over their skis.
I figured, but I thought I'd add that. Anyway, we didn't pull out of Cambodia, it was Vietnam.I'm talking about the Khmer Rouge.
I think a lot of it depends on how many of the Americans left behind are beheaded on tv.People proclaiming political doom for Biden over this don't understand modern American politics.

I've also seen several reports saying Biden was just following Trumps plan. I think that's a major mistake. It comes across as weak and foolish. Joe owns this fiasco, he needs to oversee fixing it.
Uh, he is fixing it. In consultation with the NSC, State and the Joint Chiefs, we are moving 6,000 solders in, air transport and air combat assets to get as many personnel out as is possible and is doing everything he can to cut the red tape on the SIVs. What else do you want?I think a lot of it depends on how many of the Americans left behind are beheaded on tv.

I doubt even that would matter. In a few weeks the major takeaway from this is going to be the feel good stories about American solders who are being reunited with their family after coming home from Afghanistan. Then we will hear the stories about how the average American solder is happy that we are no longer over there. By Christmas the way we got out will be completely overshadowed by how glad we are to be out. Whatever the Taliban does will just be seen as evidence we were right to get out. They are going to say, see after 20 years we didn't change anything would another 20 have made any difference? Why those people are still there won't be the story.I think a lot of it depends on how many of the Americans left behind are beheaded on tv.

Sure, they plan to hold the airport until September. There remain tens of thousands trapped behind enemy lines. None of this addresses that.
US troops fire shots into the air and use teargas on desperate crowds as chaos at Kabul airport enters fifth day: Taliban block Westerners from reaching flights and Afghan mothers give their BABIES to soldiers
- Westerners and Afghan visa holders are facing fresh hell at Kabul airport today as they try to flee Afghanistan
- Ex-pats say they cannot reach checkpoints to get into the airfield because 'terrified locals' are blocking them
- Britons, Norwegians, Australians, and Canadians all said their way out of the country was blocked by crowds of Afghan refugees and Taliban guards who dished out beatings and whippings seemingly at random
- Paul Farthing, a British ex-Marine, said getting a flight is a 'lottery' and rubbished claims that the Taliban are letting people through checkpoints - saying he cannot even get to the checkpoint
- Flights are leaving the airport today, UK and US officials insisted, with more than 2,000 people due to fly out
This situation will be defined by what the Taliban decide to do with their thousands of American and foreign prisoners. A result of complete incompetence in intelligence and planning. They could be merciful and it turns out to be a lot of nothing. Or September 11th could be celebrated with mass beheadings. Or anything in-between. Regardless, the lives of many NATO citizens are in the hands of the Taliban.
In an op-ed published in The Washington Post, the son of Afghanistan's most famed anti-Taliban fighter claimed to have the forces to mount an effective resistance, but he called on the United States to supply arms and ammunition to his militia.
So much for that so called Taliban blanket amnesty. Who thought they can be trusted?

Coming from the party calling the worst pandemic in 100 years a hoax and suggested to the public ingest bleach methinks your pronouncement of the Democratic Party is a bit premature.Pretty tough for fucking the incompetent and senile Biden to pull out of Afghanistan when there's still @ 15,000 Americans that he left behind enemy lines.

Then I hope someone from the administration punches then in the nuts. GTFO means GTFO.CIA is so totally going to have wood for this.
I don't always agree with Matt Yglesias but this hits the bullseye re: media coverage of this
