    Fixing my mistake... a VP who takes over from a president who can't finish a term must serve in that president's four-year term less than two full years, thus, as long as Joe holds out after Jan. 20st, 2023, Kamala can finish out his term, and run for two four-year terms of her own. Got my 'before' before my 'after'.... :psychoitc: Imagine, ten years under Kamala Harris and whatever she dredges up to be her VP. I don't see them sticking Susan Rice in there, but what I dread is the idea that they could stick Michelle Obama in as Kamala's VP.

    And THERE I do agree with you, even though I think that Geriatric Joe and his Jamaican Voodoo Queen VP are a national disgrace!

    Indeed, why in HELL didn't DOD and the State Dept. start shutting down and gradually and intelligently leaving there back in March?! Why would anybody have waited until after May to get the hell out of there...? Because they love the scenery...?! :roflol:

    The pre-planned level which would be held, along with our full air support and intelligence until the Taliban met the conditions of the agreement. They did not and Biden surrendered.

    What warnings, Biden told them there was no way this would happen. I still wait for you to post the State Department advisory to leave you claim exist.

    How many US hostages do you think the Taliban will hold? They literally have the upper hand here right now!

    Dude, enough is enough. After repeating the same thing 100 times it's about time someone educated you.

    The prisoners were held by Afghan's government, they were going to be set free no matter what. My dad used to tell me that if I'm going to put my foot in my mouth (100+ times) I'd better be wearing clean shoes. Trump didn't set them free, the Taliban did and nothing was going to stop them. So end your ridiculously repetitive nonsense and go wash your shoes.

    The Taliban has no motive to take hostages. They want us out. That's what's happening.

    it was part of the Trump deal, Trump should have not pushed for their release until AFTER our people were home safe

    if Trump was smart he would have kicked that can to Biden too, so you all could attack Biden for releasing them - now you have to defend Trump doing it

    Awesome so all the 10k Americans are at the airport. Thanks for breaking this news...Unfortunately the reports on the ground, the department of defense, the sect of state and all our allies disagree with you. Probably need to make some calls and let them know. It might save lives since the British and French are sending in special forces in secret missions to get their civilians out...

    Are those prisoners making any difference to what we're seeing now? No. Give it up.

    So the Taliban's motive in taking hostages is what again? Maybe they'll demand we reinsert Trump. As dictator. Inserted. Yay Taliban. Smh.

    Well they sure as hell aren't rolling out the red carpet. You might want to watch some MSM news they have people on the ground. They've interviewed those turned back, beaten and now we have fatalities at a check point. Hey seriously since you got the scoop call them let them know all is good. The Taliban is in control per the sect of state, maybe you have some inside scoop from the Taliban?

    Where is the evacuation order for all Americans in Afghanistan and why was the President telling them the Taliban would not take over the country, NO WAY they would? That is a pretty standard travel advisory. Why was Biden telling everyone the Taliban would not take over the country NO WAY?

    The prevailing view at this point is that Joe rushed it WHOLE-HOG so that he could bask in a hero's glow of being the president that got America totally out of Afghanistan by the 20th anniversary of "911".

    Instead, Afghanistan turned into 'Viet-ghanistan' on him, and now Geriatric Joe will forever be remembered as a simple-minded, glory-hungry, old fool! :evil:
