Which audit? Is there any where in the world that election audits determines the winner of elections?What do you think is the purpose of Republican arranged audits? Is there any place for external audits in the electoral process?The so called audits is to keep MAGAs fired up until the mid term elections.
Do you have brain cells?

despite the knowledge the Taliban freed thousands of ISIS fighters, Biden still stood before the country Thursday night and told us the following to justify his fiasco of an evacuation plan: “[W]e have been made aware by our intelligence community that ISIS-K, a staunch enemy of the Taliban, the people who are in both those prisons were freed — were opened, planning a complex set of attacks on United States personnel and others.” Whoa, whoa, whoa… Slow down there… So ISIS is a “staunch enemy” of the Taliban, but the Taliban “freed” from “prison” thousands of ISIS fighters? So the Taliban freed its “staunch enemy?” Can we just back up a little back here? Who freed them? Who freed the ISIS fighters killing Americans? The Taliban freed them. And now you’re telling us the Taliban freed their “staunch enemies?” Why would the Taliban free their “staunch enemies?” And this is the same Taliban Biden put in charge of security.
Oh, and guess what else the Biden administration did for our good buddies, the Taliban. Sociopath Joe gave the Taliban a list of every American and Afghan who wants to get out of Afghanistan, a “kill list” that told the Taliban exactly who betrayed them over the course of our 20 years there, as well as a hostage list of every U.S. citizen in that country. Did Trump tell Biden to hand over a kill list? I have some other questions… Who told Biden to evacuate our troops before he evacuated our civilians and allies? It wasn’t Trump. Who told Biden to withdraw our troops and leave behind tens of billions of dollars in operational war machinery? It wasn’t Trump. Who told Biden to postpone Trump’s May 1 withdrawal date to late August when, unlike early May, the Taliban come out of their villages and poppy fields to form a summer army? It wasn’t Trump. Who told Biden to abandon Bagram Air Base before the evacuation was complete? It wasn’t Trump. Who told Biden to put Islamic terrorists in charge of our security? It wasn’t Trump. Biden’s failures here, his depraved indifference to human life, his misjudgments, his craven political calculations… It’s beyond anything in the history of American politics. Weak men have always caused a helluva lot more carnage in this world than strong men.

Very shameless people. I am shocked that some of them have the guts to crawl out of their wormhole after all the noise they made before the last elections on how Trump will annihilate senile and basement hiding Biden in the elections, even when all popular polls and the two presidential debates indicated otherwise. After loeing face, instead of keeping quiet, the are further humiliating themselves with a "Trump actually won and Biden rigged" narrative [/s].
Why not let audits go on.They democrats go to court to stop them.

Amid a warning Friday to President Biden from his national security team that another terror attack in Kabul is likely, the Pentagon acknowledged that thousands of ISIS prisoners were released after the U.S. withdrawal from Bagram Air Base last month. Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin asked Pentagon spokesman John Kirby on Friday: "How many ISIS-K prisoners were left at Bagram and are believed to have been released from the prison there, and why weren’t they removed before the US pulled out – to some place like Gitmo?"
Kirby said he didn't know "the exact number." "Clearly, it's in the thousands, when you consider both prisons," he said On July 2, U.S. troops abandoned Bagram in the middle of the night without warning their Afghan allies. On Aug. 15, the Taliban seized the base from the Afghan army and set free 5,000 prisoners, which included by Taliban and ISIS fighters .

The local Afghan won't have to worry about NATO, America or other Allies of the Western powers anymore after the 31st of August. They are leaving their shithole for them smiley
I think its only the US that still continuing evacuations from Sunday .
There will be people left under the mercy of the Taliban.
Turkey will be stationed at the airport in a tech support role.
US will help Taliban to search for ISIS-K and probably bomb them too.

This Kabul attack was that deadly.
175 casualties so far.
And a local Afghan whose neighbor died says All that happened because of the Americans.

Biden could not stop the withdrawals without serious political backlash for himself and his party. President Trump had already primed the US electorate to reject US troops getting involved in overseas conflicts, just like he had primed many US citizens against immigration - both legal and illegal. Biden reversing the Pentagon's order to withdraw all US troops by may 31 by sending thousands of troops back would have been political suicide.
I have not located the reporting that Biden stopped close air support to afghan army before baghram departure making the afghan army demoralized.
Taliban has never had any airforce and they use attrition to exact casualties. If the locals were not supportive of the jihadists It would be easy to rout them .
Lets not forget they have had support from Pakistan. Over winter they have always ran away to Pakistan and resume their summer offensive the following year. With no external support , their bullets would have run out 20 years ago.
So yes, Pakistan support them and their locals dont want the national army.
Those are factors Biden would know and have no problem calling out the Pakis. I think Trump had threatened to cut off Paki aid.
Biden would have ordered troops to remain in Afghanistan to ensure their army will fight the Taliban.

In an interview to Fox News over the
weekend, President Trump said that people
in Pakistan knew that Laden was living in a
mansion near their garrison city of
Abbottabad, but they did not tell the US and
kept on accepting billions of dollars in aidmran Khan has said that Pakistan got $20
Billion from the US for a loss of $120
Billion
"And I cut those payments off a long time
ago. We're not paying Pakistan any money
because they're not helping us at all and
we'll see where it all goes," President
Trump said.
Early this year, Donald Trump announced to
stop all security assistance to Pakistan.
"I hope to have a good relationship with
Pakistan," said Donald Trump, indicating
that the relationship between the two
countries can come back on track if
Pakistan took action against terrorist
groups and their safe havens.

He shouldn't have spoken out oo.

Fear these white supremacist huh they will use this to play politics as to why there is no racism in America or why for example they will say that,when a white officer shoots a black man it is racism/systemic racism but when it is vice versa we don't call it racism.


They will use this to campaign against CRT and tell you why racism doesn't exist and white people are victims and whatever nonsense comes up in their head.

Why do I feel like you have a thing against Muslims or immigration?
They are not evacuating all of them are they?
I understand your concerns but then because of the fears you allay doesn't mean the ones who can be assisted shouldn't many people arrived different countries as refugees and our humanity shouldn't turn them back.
I fault the withdrawal process but I will not solely blame it on him everyone involved has their fair share of the blame.He worked with the intelligence he got as he is taking his blame American allies and past administrations should take theirs.
Biden is not a failure and doesn't deserve this unnecessary criticism coming from the right wing.

I don't even know what to say to this but then there are a lot of people women and children especially who don't deserve this and I believe that they should be evacuated and given a chance for a better life.

I believe they are also evacuating their allies and those who served as interpreters for them as well the western forces owe this to them at least.They don't want a repeat of what happened in Saigon and with the Kurds so as for America not to completely lose its credibility of not standing with their allies.
Lying. What happened to the Kurds?
They were exterminated?

What is it with trying to take away Afghans, the men importantly?

Now see what is happening.
For 20 years ISAF worked with local translators, warlords plus a whole lot of afghans who helped their war.
After returning Afghanistan to Talibans, the local ISAF friends could be persecuted by the new rulers.

At least you have accepted that Trump messed up.

So that when he reverses the reduction you will start with your silly agenda that he wants more wars,that Trump never wanted one.Same way you all criticized the Trump policies he reversed.

There is no need going back 2300+ American soldiers are dead,2 trillion dollars wasted all for what?what did America gain? Nothing there is no need sending back any more troops to avoid more casualties you don't make faux outrage about dead Americans then want to send more back to die make it make sense.

The withdrawal is popular,one of the reasons why many democrats didn't even complain when Trump announced it,the other Trump policies Biden reversed were not.
Forget about the slur for now, you also insult people.
Joe as pryme has listed, reversed popular policies without any noise from the media.
If the reduction was bad, why did Joe not reverse it?
Why would he continue with the withdrawal , given that very soon to he will send troops to avenge today's bombing.

Counter my initial post or shut up

Biden has taken responsibility unlike the other orange baby and everyone with a functioning brain knowing the genesis of how it started will not fail to blame Trump.How does what you posted negate the fact that Trump messed up and also withdrew 13,000 troops from Afghanistan or is it not the ripple effects of those failed policies that has led to this.

If Biden had gone back you lots will not fail to attack him that he wants more wars and tout those useless narratives that Trump didn't start a war but Biden wants one.

Biden isn't going back to Afghanistan and is working with what Trump left after he negotiated with the Taliban and limited America's options not to mention the fact that his team refused to brief the transition team.on any foreign policy issue until it was almost January 20th.


If I may ask what exactly are you blaming Biden for that you won't blame on Trump?

You are the sick one without a brain
Why did Joe not reverse the reduction?
As of now he will hit back those who caused todays blast.He will send troops if need be.

Read the timeline of the withdrawals. DID PRESIDENT TRUMP NOT LEAVE AMERICANS BEHIND WHEN HE ORDERED THE REDUCTION OF US TROOPS TO 2500 IN JANUARY 15 2021?
Trump reduced number to 2500.
The troops who returned home left fellow Americans behind in Afghanistan . Yes.

The 2500 troops who were left by the troops who left Afghanistan stayed with the other Americans who were left behind in Afghanistan.

Was that the stupid point you were making?

Biden on inauguration:-

Rejoined Paris Club
Stopped Canada US oil pipeline.
Restarted Iran nuclear deal
Stopped Remain in Mexico policy

Just a few things he had power to do. As for Afghanistan he is claiming he was bound to withdraw, yet he extended the date scheduled.
And in 7 minutes with NATO shut down the meeting with a firm not an extra day extension.

No one is against withdrawal ,The chaos and lack of plan. ISIS is still around and has claimed 13 American lives ( Yea right, soldiers make a vow to die. BullShitt)

Liberal journalist Ian Bremmer noted, “Until today, the last US soldiers to die in combat in Afghanistan were on February 8, 2020.” Bremmer added that the least Biden can do is take questions from the press: “President Biden has to give a speech in response to today’s tragic events, has to answer direct questions. Baseline expectation of any US President.”
I think he is supposed to give one on 5 min time from now.
