Yikes.....
Texas? It’ll be every state led by the GOP. And I’m pretty sure we were repeatedly told here we were being hysterical for suggesting Trumps court would overturn Roe. Now they haven’t done that officially, but it’s basically done for all practical purposes. 6 weeks isn’t even enough time for a woman to figure out if she’s legitimately late
Yes, most women know if they are a day late. Jesus man, 2 weeks late their ass is taking a test. By week 3 or 4 they know for sure.

I was referring to the fact we're still going to try to get some people out of there.
I should've worded that differently.
That dog story is sickening. I have no words. I couldn't even bring myself to click on the Reddit thread about it.
This administration has no shame.
In all fairness, the Pentagon is denying it. Saying these dogs belong to some Kabul Rescue Group, not the military. Could just be spin after "giving" the dogs to the Afghani's, who no longer exist, but the point remains US Troops left cages of what appear to be German Shepherds (the only dogs used in the US Military) with no one there to care for them. It's hard for me to remove personal animus from this equation, but I'd feel really bad if I voted in this Alzheimer patient after believing every lie and conspiracy the media tossed at the former President. Biden cost American's their lives and has done permanent damage to the US's standing abroad. No amount of spin or denial can change that. All because he and his puppet masters couldn't enact an orderly withdrawal.
Yes, their spin is not adding up. Kabul Rescue dogs? In crates in front of Helicopter in a hanger? Looks like US service dogs to me lol. The dogs are more valuable than most of the people we got out of there

More like mission delayed.
Looks like the Taliban are going to give us more time to get out of Dodge.
I thought everybody’s out? Military wise anyway

Now that's some accurate and timely Intel....
The Taliban has just as much a reason if not more so to eradicate ISIS-K. They don’t want them turning Afghanistan into the next isis stronghold which would results in a repeat of our actions in Syria and Iraq since 2011.
Reports saying we hit a family and killed like 3 kids. Could be Isis disinformation. Can’t trust shit at this point.

Looks like we just did a drone strike on some terrorists.
Hopefully we didn't just crash another wedding....
Killed 2 people. Is this a wag the dog moment?

What's the lesson of Afghanistan? Maybe it's that everyone from the giant dorm room bitch session that is the internet should take a good look at what real oppression looks like. #Wokeistan #WakeUpCall pic.twitter.com/HoNJkucheF

https://www.foxnews.com/media/pompeo-bi … withdrawal
MIKE POMPEO: We were clear with the Taliban that we had this understanding--but you were going to live up to it. And we had a conditions-based withdrawal plan and we executed that. We were down from about 15,000 to a little over 2,500. And for the last 13 months of our administration, we didn't have a single American attacked or a single American killed.
It wasn't because of the piece of paper, that was the set of understandings. It was because the Taliban understood that if they acted against Americans and took on actions that were inconsistent with what they had promised to do, we'd respond and we did. We did it multiple times. When they pushed on us and the Trump administration, we responded with American power and American might, and we made clear to the Taliban that deterrence was going to be maintained. The difference was when the Biden administration came in, when the Taliban pushed, they withdrew. They showed weakness. The Taliban rolled it up. They put our military in an incredibly difficult position because they weren't prepared to defend the conditions and then decided to withdraw when the conditions weren't right.
President Trump wanted to get all of our folks out. No one disputes that the right thing to do was to get these folks home. But we never found the conditions right to execute what President Biden chose to do. President Trump wanted everyone out from January of 2017. We never found the conditions right to be able to do that. So we withdrew from 15,000 to about 8,600 then to about 4,500, each time along the way thoughtfully making sure that we understood that we had deterrence maintained, that we had an order that we could protect Americans. And we did so every single day

Definitely, after the two impeachment hearings the House put a show on the past 2 years, Biden is definitely going to be impeached when the GOP gets the House next year. Except they'll have plenty of military officers as witnesses and not a chow thief whose now making the rounds on CNN.
What impeachable offense took place? We need to stop weaponizing impeachment. Better to let Biden and his admin be fully exposed.
Axl S, I am not trying to be pro Trump here, but even Biden says the reason there were no attacks for so long was Trump’s deal. Trump’s blame pretty much stops at “he made a deal to get out”. A deal that in principle most other people were fine with at the time. The vibe of America and our Military is different with Biden over Trump. Do you think we would have needed the Pineapple Express if Trump was president? The answer is no.
