No thanks...as bad as Slo Joe is I do not want to see the kind of damage that Kneepads Harris can do to the country. And, people are calling for Harris to go down with Biden...leaving Comrade Pelosi in charge.

More knowledgable folks can correct me if I'm wrong, but if her number came up in the line of succession, then she would become POTUS and no longer Speaker of the House, thus serve out Sleepy Joe's term.

She should be impeached as well. The whole bunch need to go. Pelosi too. Congress is just as much at fault.

you are probably right because that makes the most sense, but that's all the more reason we need to take the congress out of democrat party control. That said... as awful as it would be I still would take Nancy over Joe or Kamala. I can at least hope that if she were no longer speaker of the house that at least she would hopefully be not beholden to the socialist wing of the party. But God help us all, (and I mean that as a prayer), President Harris is going to happen and she will almost definitely serve out the remainder of Joe Biden's term.

A Fromer Navy Seal was on the radio and said this plan isn’t working. He suggested a new plan. Retake all the air bases and begin getting our people out. He said that there were reports of the Taliban troops massing. He thought that this was a good development over hiding amount the civilians.

He expected Xiden to not take this approach and instead to pay ransoms after the 31st.
I suspect he will just ignore them like He and Obama did with the college kid in North Korea.

To me the only thing we are missing is a picture of Xiden holding a piece of paper over his head saying “ I have a guarantee of their safety”

This will be a slow agony for all of us.

Any one going to be flying somewhere on September 11th.

and lets toss in the 100 turbo prop fighter planes the air force contracted with embraier , to be built in florida over the last 7 years
my son worked there up until this past june.

air force delivered about half to date, i wonder if the rest get nixed since afghan army is no more

and about the black hawk helicopters sitting on the tarmac

a few well placed drone strikes should cover them to be no more


his speech today was weird, he is so weak and we will all pay the price, how many isis have crossed southern border?
court ruled he has to re instate remain in place, but so far NOPE has not been done.


i have to agree with the former seal, i bet we pay ransom starting sept 1st at 0001

I agree. My plan is to get the 82nd Airborne on the move now (the division is ready to respond anywhere in the world in 18 hours) and tell them secure the Kabul airport. Then have every other infantry and armored division we have, including Marine divisions start landing within 12 hours after the 82nd. The order for all of them is to spread out and secure the Afghani borders within 48 hours. AS they do that, they start searching for three things: any taliban members (surrender or die), any American equipment left behind (recover or destroy it), and any person who wants to leave that country that is not part of the first group (escort them to the airport and out of there).

Then we do a planned withdrawal, leaving nothing behind us but tracks, and tell the exiled Afghan President, it is his country and we will never be back.

The purpose of this is twofold. First I want revenge on the taliban for killing American troops today. Second, I want to put the rest of the world on notice to not wake the sleeping giant. America is a powerful giant that is cranky when woken.

Facebook removes Instagram account of Mom who lost US Marine son in Afghanistan a few days ago and then began threatening her Facebook account over blaming Xiden for her sons death.

“ I hope you burn in Hell” sister of slain Marine shouts out at Xiden during Dover casket ceremony. Xiden is caught looking at watch.

Near as I can tell from headlines Xiden blames Trump and says withdrawal was complete success in speech today.

If Nancy P gets the POTUS job, she would get to finish Joe B's term. She would not be ousted from POTUS if the House flipped Red.
