Biden, as it turns out, left as many as 10,000 Americans behind in Afghanistan. No one really knows for sure.
“American citizens’ houses have been ransacked, and they are in hiding because the Taliban are terrorizing and tormenting neighborhoods. That’s happening all over Kabul,” a “senior GOP congressional staffer” told Rogin, noting that their office had been “fielding calls” from desperate Americans left on the ground. “There are a lot of people who are falling through the cracks. [The administration] didn’t have a plan to handle this on a mass scale…For the people in Kabul, they’ve basically said it’s up to them to get to the airport.”
The US government has a fine tradition of leaving behind those whose purpose no longer serves their goals. The current Administration has no plans to get these Americans out, and I would guess that the faster they disappear and fall out of the news cycle, the faster Biden and the MSM can get back to the Great Reset.
There were nearly eight times as many troops guarding the 435 members of Congress from their own constituents than there are guarding the airport to get the 10,000 Americans out of Kabul.
One of the people left behind is a friend of mine. She was sent there as a contractor, and once they were done with her and the other Americans who were sent there, they were discarded like yesterday’s newspaper. But, hey, at least you don’t have to read Trump’s mean Tweets any longer.
EDITED TO ADD:
So now it appears as though there are at least 10,000 and as many as 40,000 Americans trapped in Afghanistan.

And I thought it was bad when it only looked like they were leaving behind a considerable amount of military equipment. Now they’ve left a small city worth of our citizens behind ? In a week we might loose more Americans than in the entire 20 year war up til now.
But yeah. At least he’s not orange. And hey, who doesn’t love ice cream.

Not to worry — those citizens will be more than replaced by unknown thousands of illegals.
We’re in good hands … I can feel it!

No Man Left Behind !!!
Join the USSA Military!!!
Hurry kids, get that parent signature. Your Govt cares. Jabbed and left behind. Merca!
Mom and Dad, get rid of that Failure to Launch, permanently.
At this point, anyone enlisting or working for the US Govt is A True Believer or has just enough synapse firing to keep its skinsack and bone structure alive.
I am praying military recruitment and Govt Employment plummets to National Security Level Danger.
We must suffer, unfortunately.
And Hope, the lesson is learned…..this time.
I aint holdin out any hope.

I guess they now know the final price of their high-pay merc jobs.
I’d imagine it will be the same thing here, when all the powder-blue helmets finally have holes in them.

Any word on your friend?
This is the most incompetent, uncoordinated, fustercluck evacuation in history. If they air dropped the SEALs or Delta Force in there to find people and get them out – maybe. They should have gotten them out weeks ago while we had Bagram airbase. Bagram should have been the last thing they closed, not the first.

They are still hiding and engaged in E&E. Last update read “Still here. Lying low.” Oddly enough, cell service is still working.

They have effectively guaranteed that not only no one will sensibly ever assist Americans in a risk zone again, they have ensured we are the laughing stock of the entire world. I will interested to hear over the months ahead of reactions abroad to Americans. I doubt they will be good.
