I'm no fan of Trump and Twitter etc. are private businesses so it's up to them.

That being said, it is hilarious that Nation of Islam and many many others still roam about twitter, facebook etc.

*shrug* vote with your wallet and participation.

He’s late. Probably can’t find the podium.

There does not seem to be anything factual to support the Trump Admin had a plan to resettle those Afghans who spent years, decades helping the US. In the meantime, Canada and Germany did so.

The US has spent $1 trillion in/ on the Afghanistan initiative since 2001. Thousands of lives have been lost. The military industrial complex however has been pleased.

This is not the first nor last time, the US has withdrawn troops from Afghanistan and had to reverse itself.

It was insane to invade Afghanistan.

It was insane to remain in Afghanistan.
People sobbing that we "lost" Afghanistan are delusional. It was never ours to lose. The Taliban owned everything in the country not physically occupied by us or our allies. Our daytime friends were our nighttime enemies. The outcome we are seeing was always going to happen. This is an ungovernable and irrational place by western standards. It is tribal and poisoned by perverted religious fanaticism. Concepts such as human rights or equal protection or due process or democracy are foreign -- from a different century or different planet.

In agreement with Arya Stark's comment and acknowledging the tragedy of what will be the likely outcome.^

The Afghan people deserve so much better.

When a person wrote in their Christmas letter to me last year that she was happy that she finally had a president that she could be proud of (Biden) and feel like other countries respect us, it was clear that being a liberal meant deluding one's self about certain realities. The sad events of the past few weeks and the absurd lies and projections from politicians and journalists is more evidence that Biden's puppet masters have no idea what they are doing. Most liberals cannot confront their mistakes and blame everyone but themselves. Harry S Truman is the exception.

U.S. just suspended ALL flights, civilian and military, in and out of Kabul due to the tarmac being overrun and civilians blocking the landing strip and climbing onto planes. Per Bloomberg news.

This is far worse than Saigon.

Right. Good luck with that.
Oh SHUT UP! Pelosi.

Just shut the hell up!

She knows damn good and well that's never going to happen, but she needs to say her 'female' words so that all the idiots in that party will think she's done something.

News flash lefties: She isn't doing jack all except trying to make herself look good. She doesn't give a damn about the females in that country, nor this one, for that matter.

The Taliban doesn't give one camel's turd what Pelosi squawks.
