Liz Cheney tries her best to spin the Afghan failure towards Trump.
Comedian Sarah Silverman praised Los Angeles’ decision to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine for certain indoor venues, including bars and gyms, during her recent appearance filling in for her ex-boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! But she omitted the fact that the city’s least vaccinated ethnic group is its black residents.
Oh, she's getting rippedHARDby everyone because of who her dad is.
BIDEN: You have now gone TOO FAR. Get your act together.

JUST IN - Taliban orders its Mujahideen of the "Islamic Emirate" to enter #Kabul in order "to prevent chaos and theft" shortly after President Ghani fled the country.

We'll know if China or Iran end up with the weapons and equipment we left behind.
We'll know which side they're on by who they sell our stuff to.
And the large surplus of rare earth elements Afghanistan has? Who will the Taliban sell that to? Iran, China?
"President Biden will own the fall of Kabul—when the real killing begins"

Remember that Trump fired Ambassador John Bolton as national security advisor when Bolton openly rebelled against Trump’s decision to negotiate a peace agreement with the Taliban.
Trump’s deal set a firm withdrawal date for U.S. combat troops — May 1, 2021.
Trump also maintained U.S. fighter jets and armed drones at Bagram airbase and used them to keep the Taliban in check. Biden ordered the midnight evacuation of the airbase on July 5 without even notifying the Afghan military. Not surprisingly, within hours the Taliban had looted the base and today our remaining troops have no U.S. air cover.
The Pentagon estimated on Friday that the Taliban will sweep into Kabul in thirty days. I would treat that prediction like last night’s beer. My bet is, the Taliban will arrive the day after U.S. troops complete the evacuation from the capital. And then the real killing will begin.
Biden owns this, personally. And every Gold Star family should remind him of that fact.

What if the Taliban DID negotiate a deal with Trump? Possibly thru North Korea?
Think the Taliban are prepping defenses? if so, against CCP/Iran?
Right. We saw them already, but sunlight IS the best disinfectant…
"Multiple meanings" and so on…
Taliban in a fresh statement says it has decided to enter Kabul even after deciding this morning that they shall wait for transition of power. Says decision taken so that abusers/thieves don’t get mixed and harass common people.
Taliban asks common people not to fear.

This first mistake people make about people, is assuming the people they make assumptions about, know less then what they know.

Right. We'll have to keep an eye on what the new Taliban do with China
