As thousands swarmed Kabul's airport in a bid to escape the Taliban's takeover in Afghanistan, videos circulating on social media appear to show armed Taliban soldiers enjoying amusement park rides after their victory last weekend.

One video posted by Reuters senior reporter Hamid Shalizi depicts soldiers driving bumper cars while touting their guns.

As many of the comments said - how did this group of nit-wits win?

Start of the biden ass kissing media’s sugar coating of the bearded savages to make things a little more airy for the imbecilic nitwit who occupies the Whitehouse

Because the 2020 election was stolen and was allowed to happen by the Rat/RINO uniparty of treason.

When your opponent is even bigger nit-wit. How many years have the Delaware electorate sent Joe back to dc? Yup, lots which puts them at the bottom of the barrel - even worse than Joe!

They are celebrating the party Xoe Xiden threw for them, complete with free helicopters and other weapons. Democrats and their MSM toadies are acting like Afghanistan is a surprise. I saw an article disproving that, ‘IG in May: ‘Defense Intelligence Agency Said That the Taliban Is Very Likely Preparing for Large-Scale Offensives’’, and you can give that a look at CNS News. This is just like the left’s ‘Arab Spring’ risky scheme all over again, including importing ‘refugees’ (80,000 per one source). I’m just wondering where Biden will hide when their attacks on us here begin.

The only bright side of the past 2 years is the communists have all revealed themselves. Anyone who forgets who they are and what they have done to us and our country is a fool.

I feel the same way about South Carolina, and Lindsey Graham
and a lot of those who have been in office too long.

You can say that about any state.

Look at Wyoming, the bright red bastion, and Liz Cheney.

Conversely, consider California …the bluest of the blues, yet home to Free Republic.

They probably missed out on having a childhood, being shunted into joyless madrassas, where they had to memorize the Quran and be indoctrinated all day, instead of being allowed to play, like other kids.

One of Biden’s first votes was a no on providing aid to S. Vietnam including getting Americans and some key allies out of there!

Has anybody noticed that Afghanistan and the Taliban don’t seem to have any problem at all with COVID?

Makes you wonder...if only we had airlifted in roller coasters and skeeball machines instead of dropping bombs, we might have won over Afghanistan in months instead of suffering a decades-long debacle.
