There is plenty of blame on the democrat side but I hold Mitch McConnell ultimately responsible. Biden/Harris would not be in command without MM's treachery and approval.

Australia’s evacuation operation in Afghanistan was been suspended five hours ago, after the suicide bombing attack.

All Australian military personnel and other government officials have left Kabul.

Approximately 4,000 people have been secured by Australian forces on the ground leaving Kabul on 29 flights including 1,200 in the past 24 hours.

Aus govt has made no decision as to when to resume the rescue mission.

An increasingly dangerous and deteriorating situation, more suicide bombings from ISIS-K.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (aka the Taliban) will say it's not them ... crafty aren't they?

Mr President, put down the spoon from the apple sauce tub, stop fixing blame and fix the problem. Distrust but verify. Make it cost.

That was the first clip that I've seen of this press conference. Truly one of the most pathetic things I've ever watched. Peter Doocy seems to be the only real journalist in that room.

I've noticed Bidet really likes lists. He gave a list of "hands off" places to Putin that shouldn't be hacked when he was in Europe, he's got a list of Americans for the Taliban to "help" us find, a list of reporters he's to call on, etc., no doubt more that I haven't thought of. He's probably got a list of what to do when he goes to the bathroom. It's as if somebody writes these lists for him.

Lots of body language experts will have fun with this one. it comes off to me like it is a combination lifebuoy and shield to protect himself. In other words very weak sauce from an old man with dementia.

I couldn’t make it through one minute of this video. What a disgrace he is.

I believe it was because he was expecting that type of question and thought that he could nail him right back and win points with that obviously prepared hit on President Trump and his "deal with the Taliban." It was a way for him to make excuses as to why this is the first time in 18 months that a US serviceman has died in Afghanistan, and it happened on his watch. Because it's after the agreed May 1st date. Well, it fell flat, and Ex-vice president Biden then had to hang his head in shame and frustration that Doocy didn't play along.

Also, part of what makes Biden’s excuses so silly is that do we even know for sure the Taliban had any part of this attack? Was it ISIS-K? Another terror group? Him blaming Trump for these deaths is absurd, but I'm sure he really thought he'd get the better of Peter Doocy. Nope. Arrogant ass.

This is basically what happened to the British in their exit from Afghanistan. They made a "deal" with one group of goatfuckers, and another group of goatfuckers attacked them.

It was kind of like F. Lee Bailey daring Chris Darden to have OJ try on the glove, and we know how that turned out.

I don’t even know what to say. “Dismay” doesn’t cover it. This is beyond disgusting. Anyone who voted for this goddamned vegetable gets a healthy share of the blame. We need to get that son of a bitch out of office right fucking now.

Everyone is throwing around the 100K number of people evacuated.
I am not sure I buy that number.
Maybe a combination of all the people all the nations hauled out?

I watched thirty seconds of that press conference and could not stomach more.

The police chief getting shot doesn't hold a candle in my book.

This is gross and I'm feeling sick. Bad enough they are dancing around in our gear and utilizing it for bad acts.

I'm reminded of the old lady in Mars Attacks where she laughs and points at the TV "They killed Congress"

Our allies now hate us, our enemies hate us.

George Clooney said it best: "Damn, we're in a tight spot!"......... O Brother, Where Art Thou?

I was wondering the same thing.

Hell, Glenn Beck's Nazerine Fund is supposed to have gotten out something like 5K. Thats one guy, one foundation, and private donations. You'd think the US .gov could maybe step it up.

oh, wait...

If true, then the US .gov is even more inept and pathetic than one might have thought...

Today is just shy of Extortion 17 and Operation Red Wings, we have no leadership or leaders, we have clowns. Sadly in my part of the country most people agree with the clown from MSNBC who said suicide bombs happen every day in Afghanistan. The liberal, left loonies around me think Biden is amazing and he’s better than Trump and people respect us around the world again. I must be in an another existence than they are. Today’s press conference was sickening and pathetic.

So they all think the world is one giant snuff film.

Because that is what is happening and increasing every hour.

Good times I guess until/when it hits us directly.

Oh, hey. A new phone is out...........
