I was just gonna say that too, but wasn’t sure if it was him that favors red flag laws? I couldn’t remember. I think he is In favor of them, and he a.so doesn’t think civilians need adequate rounds to handle mass home invasions- he apparently thinks a few rounds are all that civilians need. Apparently he thinks civilians are all expert marksman and can take out 3 targets with one shot while runnign througn a dark,house during a raging gun battle with armed home invaders.
The “82nd soldiers” refers to the 82nd Airborne, which Joe Biden ordered into Kabul to defend the airport and facilitate the mass evacuation as the situation collapsed.
The 82nd is the most famous of all so obama and/or obama's generals must have done a complete "fundamental transformation" of them in an effort to kill the spirit of Americans, civilian and military.
The dead rot Congress doesn’t care. They are worthless!
And on eternal vacation.
The Pentagon is saying go to the airport
State is saying stay away
Congressmen and reporters are saying Americans are being turned away
We need to hear from Americans in Afghanistan
There are two puzzle pieces that help to make sense of the Politico report about “U.S. Officials” giving the Taliban a list of American and U.S. Afghan names to allow through the checkpoints. {GO DEEP 1 and GO DEEP 2} However, if you don’t understand the two dueling power teams -each attempting to position- it doesn’t make sense.
Remember, the State Dept (DoS) and CIA are one team. The White House and Pentagon are another team.
Both teams are highly political. However, the State Dept/CIA team consider themselves above political changes; essentially the deeper Deep State.
With the DoS/CIA aligned with CNN/WaPo, when the Pentagon needs to defend their specific interests in crisis management, they must go elsewhere, hence Politico.
From the Politico Article:
“U.S. officials in Kabul gave the Taliban a list of names of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan allies to grant entry into the militant-controlled outer perimeter of the city’s airport, a choice that’s prompted outrage behind the scenes from lawmakers and military officials.”
The move, detailed to POLITICO by three U.S. and congressional officials, was designed to expedite the evacuation of tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan as chaos erupted in Afghanistan’s capital city last week after the Taliban seized control of the country. It also came as the Biden administration has been relying on the Taliban for security outside the airport.
[…] But the decision to provide specific names to the Taliban, which has a history of brutally murdering Afghans who collaborated with the U.S. and other coalition forces during the conflict, has angered lawmakers and military officials.
“Basically, they just put all those Afghans on a kill list,” said one defense official, who like others spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive topic. “It’s just appalling and shocking and makes you feel unclean.” (more)
So it’s fair to say the aggrieved party is the Pentagon in this scenario…. which aligns with Politico receiving the information from the military perspective.
Applying the dynamic of interests from the previous history between the teams, it would appear the State Dept. and CIA gave the Taliban the list.
Indeed, the quick dispatch of the problem of stranded Americans is a ‘toxically political’ priority issue for the State Department. Additionally, the previous meeting between CIA Director William J Burns and the Taliban leadership now takes on a fulsome context.
It was a decision by the DoS and CIA to share the list and get the evacuation facilitated in the most expedient fashion possible. However, from a tactical perspective it put the Pentagon, charged with Kabul airport security, in a slightly compromised position.
Both teams were responsible for the Afghanistan mess. In the aftermath of the mess; and with the current situation in/around Kabul, each team is positioning to avoid scrutiny. Scrutiny on either team runs the risk of identifying massive corruption; so the objective is to push the spotlight onto the other team. State Dept. blames White House/Pentagon…. Pentagon/White House looking to avoid sunlight.
The Pentagon (arrows) is supposed to working in coordination with State (olive branch), but both institutions are corrupt regarding Afghanistan; so it’s a game of hot potato. If the executive office wasn’t corrupt, the eagle would be having whiplash; alas, the White House was/is an active participant. [So much for school civic ‘checks-n-balances’ eh?]
Externally, we are seeing the executive appointed heads of each faction battling for position on behalf of their institution. The media get to pick and choose which faction they will support. CNN will support the State Dept. ABC, CBS, NBC will lean slightly toward the White House/Pentagon.
Modify the focus of your review of events in/around Afghanistan to see the connective tissue between CNN, the State Department and CIA [strongest institution within the Intelligence Branch]. Then keep in mind, the Senate is in alignment with, and a facilitator for, the Intelligence Branch. As a consequence, the institution of the Senate will align with the interests of the State Department; and, by default align with the CIA, intelligence community and CNN/WaPo reporting.
The modern U.S. State Dept is an independent, bureaucratic, and massive foreign policy institution that does not accept any oversight. They are able to accomplish their independent position by partnering with intelligence agencies. The Dept of State use the U.S. Intelligence Branch as a weapon against any individual or entity who would attempt oversight.
The deepest, swampiest part of the Deep State is protecting its interests against the outcome of a crisis in Afghanistan they collectively created. The picture has now emerged of their plan to blame the White House, and by extension Joe Biden along with the Pentagon.
The probably won't need to do that. Biden will be happy to send them pallet loads of money in exchange for any assistance they might provide and in solidarity with those who weaken America.
IMPORTING AFGHAN NATIONALS BY THE THOUSANDS INTO THE U.S. WHILE IGNORING THE PLIGHT OF AMERICAN CITIZENS IN AFGHANISTAN.
If this isn't grounds for PROSECUTION AND ARREST OF TEAM BIDEN MEMBERS AND OUR MILITARY, I don't know what is.
SICK BASTARD BIDEN HAS TURNED THE AFGHANISTAN SITUATION INTO A 'MEXICAN BORDER HUMAN TRAFFICKING OPERATION' FOR NEW DEMOCRAT VOTERS..
SICK. TWISTED. CRIMINAL. TREASONOUS. MURDEROUS BASTARDS ALL.
OUR FINE MARINES DIED FOR BIDEN'S POLITICAL OPERATION? SICK. WE SHOULD ALL BE BEYOND OUTRAGED.
Crensaw thinking the election was legit is a staggering mental or moral (know its not but lying) defect that is just a bridge too far for me too. He’s been toast.
Yep? Crenshaw is a McCain clone. Totally worthless and a deepstate sh!t! Hey Danny, if what Biden is doing is such an outrage, where you on joining MTG’s impeachment train? ****Crickets****
I suspect public officials have been threatened by the deep state over the legitimacy of 2020 and any subsequent elections. Their families, friends, peers, etc....Will be in peril if the issued positions are not fortified at all times.
Why is Lara risking her credibility with that Democrat-lite, chicken hawk?
Your on the wrong site, if you want people banned you need to go to Twitter
Everything we see of Bidens Afghanistan is according to some really fu#$Ed up plan from those yet to be exposed. This colossal a disaster isn’t a mistake. The installation of Biden is just the cover they needed. Much more to come.
Nailed it. Dan has moved the overton window so it isn’t even a topic worth bringing up in his uhh eye.
Obviously they are under orders, but this will also manifest in trauma on these men in the years ahead. The fact that they had to turn American citizens back won't age well with their souls.
The Ministry of Propaganda outlet put the two tweets together, they are not working together.
You voted for this Dan. Hope the people can elect a true Conservative next time, or at least, you’re taken out by the voter fraud you sanctioned on January 6th.
Isn’t Crenshaw the one who thinks the election was without problems?

This I believe.
