No surprise here, of course.

The only question is what will those 5,000 freed Taliban and Al Qaeda prisoners do now. Whatever it is, it’s gonna be ugly.

This should end well. Are they wearing masks?

I have a feeling that this is going to make Vietnam and Cambodia look like Girl Scout camp.

That's why the Demonicrats want the southern border wide-open, silly.

Well Vietnam, maybe. But the Khmer Rouge set the bar rather high. I don’t think the Talis can match it.

Walk into our country via the southern border.

Maybe 90% will be be caught, leaving 500 (of just these 5,000) free to do whatever they'd like.

The propaganda being spread by talking heads is that this will be a “new, kinder, gentler Taliban who will care about the people and women”. Kid you not. 🙄

“NBC News has confirmed that the Bagram Air Base has fallen into the hands of the Taliban, where they will be emptying out prison housing 5,000 Taliban and Al Qaeda prisoners.”

Now we’re starting to see why the Dems aren’t having a problem with this...they HATE PRISONS.

I hope none of them figure out how to get Covid and get to our southern border.

Why would that be sarcasm?

Why wouldn't they blend in with the hundreds of thousands without "documentation" pouring across the border on a monthly basis? From their point of view, it would be foolish not to.

Far easier access to our country than those that had to go through the visa process for 9/11.

And even if by some miracle, 90% of them are caught...figure hundreds will be successful in spreading across the country...no to mention several dozen more will simply be "let go" by this administration for a variety of reasons.

It wouldn’t take a genius to see this coming. Maybe this will give him a boost in the polls.
