Blinken was vacationing in the Hamptons hours before Kabul fell
Secretary of State Antony Blinken was vacationing in the Hamptons just hours before Taliban insurgents invaded Kabul and completed their retaking of Afghanistan 20 years after their ouster by U.S.-led forces, according to a new report. According to a detailed timeline of the Taliban’s takeover of Kabul compiled by The Washington Post, the actions by U.S. officials in the days leading up to the collapse suggested "no immediate cause for alarm," with many of them "surrendering to the customary rhythms of Washington in August." Blinken, like other U.S. officials, had to be called back from his vacation once things started rapidly deteriorating in Afghanistan, the report said. "By August, the dominant view was that the Taliban wasn’t likely to pose a serious threat to Kabul until late fall," The Post reported. "On the Friday afternoon before Kabul fell, the White House was starting to empty out, as many of the senior staff prepared to take their first vacations of Biden’s young presidency. Earlier in the day, Biden had arrived at Camp David, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken was already in the Hamptons." ... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: People like this can't actually think for themselves and see a problem and solutions to them. I don't get it either...It must be too complex or simply too fucking simple to understand for them. I see it also in some of my "older" family members. They completely have deferred on who they vote for to their parents who have been long gone 30 years ago. They say....well "Dad was a Democrat...and so I'm gonna vote Democrat". Problem is...this definitely IS NOT the same Democratic party from 35+ years ago. If you voted for any Democrat after Reagan, you’re not a good Person. |

Hannity (I know, I know), just said on his radio show that videos are emerging on the web of Taliban burning women to death and other gruesome executions.
Don't need to see any of it. We've seen it before and know exactly the type of people we just armed-to-the-teeth. It's nearly beyond comprehension, what they've done. We haven't even begun to see the extent of the damage - which will go on for generations, really. |
