When asked about this development Nancy Pelosi replied: “this just shows how important it is that we get our election law passed.”

Translation: “we need to make sure we can pretty much trash the place and the voters have no say in it.”

Biden’s disaster in Afghanistan makes you wonder what other countries might try something when him as POTUS...

If China wanted to take Taiwan, this would be the best opportunity they’ve had in decades....

Biden’s nickname on Congress was “Slow Joe” because he was so stupid.

That is NOT a joke.

“Biden’s nickname on Congress was “Slow Joe” because he was so stupid.”

With a minimum amount of effort, one can find numerous examples, from both sides of the aisle, of Biden’s lack of intelligence.

The fact that anyone voted for him is a condemnation of Americans.

Joe Biden....the ultimate surrender monkey. He surrendered on the coronavirus, he surrendered our southern border, he surrendered to BLM, and now he is surrendering to the Taliban (I am sure I have missed a few).

What next??

Comparing Biden to Carter is an insult even to Carter...Biden is far, far, far worse.

You can say what you want about Jimmy Carter, but at least he didn't try to blame Gerald Ford for the Iranian hostage crisis.

My prediction:

There will be at least several hundred American’s left behind—they are not able to get to the airport.

Those Americans will be rounded up and “interned.”

In the end, China will come to their diplomatic rescue. And the US will have to send aircraft to Beijing to collect them.

Anything to make the Americans lose face is a plus.

I would guess that deal is already being brokered between Biden’s people and Xi.

Carter is more lucid than Biden, there’s no comparison.

Carter might be dumb but he was not stupid. Valedictorian if his small high school and graduated top 10 percent Anapolis.

In all fairness, Jimmuh created the problem in Iran, when he deposed the Shaw. To his credit he did allow the Shaw to come here to die when no other country would. We screw everyone who trusts us, no wonder we have enemies.

The military is nothing but an obstacle to democrats.

In the past that was certainly true but lately the top brass are openly supporting the woke agenda.

The real Jimmy Carter moment is yet to come, as the economy tanks and America falls into a Carteresque malaise. Only it will be worse this time around, seasoned by the Democrats with their anarchy and racial hatred.

Biden is an INCOMPETENT BUFFOON who makes Jimmy Carter look like a genius. He and Harris OWN THIS MASSIVE DEBACLE. Thousands of Afghan women and children will be raped and murdered because of their STUPIDITY. I still can’t believe they gave up Bagram AFB (which was rock solid secure) and let 6 to 7 thousand Taliban prisoners there go free. Unbelievable and we’ll just have to fight these scum again elsewhere. 20 years, trillions spent, 2500 American brothers and sisters dead, and it all goes up in smoke in a few days because LEFTIST DEMOCRAT IDIOTS ARE MINDING THE STORE.

That being said, I always had my doubts the ANA (Afghan Army) and the ANP (Afghan Police) could make it on their own without us propping them up. Even though I worked along side them as a US Army combat Infantryman, I could NEVER TRUST OR TURN MY BACK ON THEM. After my unit left our combat outpost in NE Afghanistan in 2012, 3 US soldiers from the unit who replaced US were murdered by an ANA soldier who turned his weapon on them. Many ANA would shrink away in firefights with the Taliban. For the most part their loyalty does NOT lie with their country like here in America. The average Afghan’s loyalty lies with their TRIBE or whoever gives them their next bowl of soup. I feel the most sorry for the women and children in Afghanistan. Many of the Afghan men are depraved cowards or sexual deviants - homosexuality and pedophilia are RAMPANT among many Afghan men (look up “The Dancing Boys of Afghanistan “). I told my wife the only way I’d go back to Afghanistan would be as a Christian missionary because those people need a saving relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ above all else.

“I may need to buy a Pinto “

Hey, I owned a Pinto back in the day (1973 to be exact). Worse car I ever owned and that included a corvair! The Pinto was dead after 40K miles.

Carter was asking for it. Like Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson before him (who famously said, "Gentlemen don't read each other's mail"), he believed human spying was a base an uncivilized activity. So Carter signed Executive Order 12036*, which had the effect of decimating the human intelligence (HUMINT) community.

Carter believed the advent of the spy satellite** made HUMINT obsolete because we could learn anything we needed to know from overhead surveillance. As a direct consequence of EO 12036, the US was blind to the "student revolt" that was ramping up in Tehran, and which led directly to the seizure of the US embassy there.

* Boss Ray-Gun overturned the more odious clauses of EO12036 in his legendary EO Twelve Triple-Tree (12333), but in a closed society like a Muhammadan Arab nation, it takes many years to "grow" a HUMINT asset, and we remain blind in key areas of Arabia to this day.

** Carter was the first US official to make a public statement acknowledging that the US was operating "spy satellites," and he did so -- for completely self-indulgent reasons -- in an election campaign speech.

Carter was incompetent but he meant well. Biden is incompetent and he plays for the other side.

The real insult to Biden, is that Carter was a better president.
