A group of Taliban fighters released a collection of propaganda footage, including a photo where they mocked the famed World War II picture of soldiers raising the American flag on Iwo Jima.In the original 1945 photograph, a group of six Marines are depicted hosting the flag on Mount Suribachi.The Taliban's Badri 313 Battalion recreated the image this week. In their version, a group of soldiers is seen hoisting the Taliban flag in a similar fashion while sporting U.S. weapons and gear that was likely stolen from allied militaries during patrols of Kabul.
This is what it looks like for an entire country to be humiliated.

Shows they were web browsing while they were melted into the general Afghan population all those years.

I can’t imagine being a member of the military (past or present) and knowing the monkey in the White House is CIC.
The Founders, in all their brilliance, never figured on a morally bankrupt, intellectually challenged, vacuous, persona leading this nation.

This is kiddie trash designed to inflame the masses. What else would you expect from 7th century, boy -touching goat rapers? We have far worse things to deal with than this.
If you actually manage to get all Westerners out, we should do the world a favor by making Afghanistan glow from border to border. Would not result in the loss of a single human being, and would be a courtesy flush to the world.

#3 - The Founding Fathers did, anticipate this, and if we had an honest judiciary that enforced the Constitution, he never would have gotten there to begin with.

The Founders did anticipate this - they put in all manner of roadblocks and obstacles for just such. The Left has been dismantling the framework for some time now to get around the obstacles. And Republicans let them.

Yes #3 nor did they envision traitorous Generals with medals never honestly earned who are nothing more than wealthy bureaucrats doing the bidding of America’s enemies. The filthy corrupt intelligence agencies and our well-paid thousands of security analysts are an expensive joke. The Republicans sure are quiet the last 48 hours too. Guess they are all in their summer homes like Biden hiding out from the press.
God HELP us.

We are not going to get our people out, sadly. I say a neutron bomb on Kabul would be the honorable thing at this point.

Poppy Bush eliminated the US neutron bomb arsenal, so even that can't be used to save face after the failure of the 20-year nation-building folly his idiot son got us into, no doubt under advisement of the former CIA director himself.

The US is humiliated, and our enemies are laughing at us, our allies are angry with us, and the rest of the world is laughing.
Thanks Joe Biden and the democrats.
Don't look at me, I voted for mean tweets.

I thought they were not allowed to make graven images of any kind.
