Up to 1,500 Americans are waiting to be evacuated. Tony Blinken said on Wednesday, "There is no deadline on efforts to evacuate American citizens and Afghan allies. That effort will continue every day past August 31. People who want to leave Afghanistan after the U.S. military departs should be able to do so.'

Desperate Afghan men, women and children have swarmed the airport in a bid to get out amid fears of an attack from the Islamic State offshoot ISIS-K and 10,000 evacuees are inside the gates waiting to get out. About 4,500 U.S. citizens and immediate family members have been evacuated over the last 10 days. As many as 6,000 Americans who wanted to leave Afghanistan were in the country when the Taliban took Kabul last week.

The administration has been criticized by Democrats, Republicans and the international community for sticking to its August 31 deadline to remove troops with critics worried the evacuation won't be completed in time. Biden said on Tuesday they were on track to complete it by that date. His latest remarks came as he enlisted the private sector to help his administration combat malicious online cyber attacks. 'We've seen time and again how the technologies we rely on, cell phones, and pipelines and the electric grid, can become targets of criminals,' Biden said. 'The reality is most of our critical infrastructure is owned and operated by the private sector and the federal government can't meet this challenge alone.'

Being a smart ass has pulled him through other issues.
It’s serious this time, and he doesn’t get it.

One of the better posts from DM UK:

This is the true face of “progressivism.” Everyone who voted for this clown has blood on their hands: from this debacle and from the involuntary injections. Disgusting!

They pulled that 1500 out of their rear ends.
It went from we don’t know @ 10,000 to 1500.
I call BS. Why anyone believes this administration or the State Department is beyond me.

Even with an adoring press, Puppet Biden still can’t handle the questions.

Imagine if he had a raving hostile press like the one Trump had to deal with on a daily basis. He would implode into the fetal position. The occupier needs to be removed NOW!

This has nothing to do with Biden’s mental state.

He has always been like this. He is an arrogant elitist with the “working man” facade thinly layered over a disgusting interior the same way Vegas Casinos are nothing more than fancy facades over disgusting buildings.

15 seconds of relative clarity, and he pisses it away with a snarky hate.

You know he was never very bright...

Peter Doocey earned his pay asking what was so funny about this debacle. Jen got hit with a right hook on that one.

“People who want to leave Afghanistan...”

Shocked and disgusted the first time I heard that line, I think it was Psaki. The posturing and positioning applied to American lives at risk is appalling. Sure, some may want to stay - but what tiny fraction of US citizens likely facing persecution could that be?

The above line coupled with quoting tens of thousands evacuated when only roughly 15% is US citizens, is insulting and disrespectful to US families with loved ones desperately seeking to come home.

Our president is unfit.

Why should he or pyssaki care? They will be getting the payoff no matter how many Americans have their necks sliced by the taliban. They are obeying the orders of their new masters: out by Aug 31 or we kill Americans.

pyssaki is a useless piece of trash, but biden is a traitor.

Our white house leaders are a bunch of pre-teens, unsure of what to “get away with” first, other than the opposite of everything the parents (Trump admin) did or didn’t do.
