Trump Attends a Memorial for the 13 Servicemen Killed in Biden's Disastrous Bug-Out; Biden and Acting President Harris Skip It

Not one member of Biden's staff was fired or even demoted over the disaster that was our chaotic, deadly exit from Afghanistan.

Trump vows he'll do the firing that Biden was too craven to do.

(Because the military would say, properly, that they did just what Biden and Harris demanded in the way they demanded it be done.)


DETROIT -- Former President Donald Trump told a National Guard Association conference Monday that he would can every senior military and diplomatic official involved in the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal fiasco -- hours after paying tribute to 13 service members who died in an ISIS attack during the botched bugout.

On a day in which the 78-year-old hammered the Biden-Harris administration over the removal of US troops and the subsequent reconquest of Afghanistan by the Taliban, Trump told an audience of part-time soldiers that voters "are going to fire Kamala and Joe on Nov. 5, we hope."

"And when I take office we will ask for the resignations of every single official," the Republican nominee added. "We'll get the resignations of every single senior official who touched the Afghanistan calamity, to be on my desk at noon on Inauguration Day.


"You know, you have to fire people. You have to fire people when they do a bad job," Trump added. "You got to fire them like on 'The Apprentice' ... You did a lousy job. You did a terrible, terrible disservice to our country. You get fired when that happens."

The service members and nearly 200 Afghans perished on Aug. 26, 2021 when ISIS-K suicide bomber Abdul Rahman al-Logari detonated an explosive vest outside Hamid Karzai International Airport's Abbey Gate -- the crowning catastrophe on a rushed evacuation that left hundreds of US citizens and Afghan allies behind to face a brutal Islamic fundamentalist regime.

No military or other government official is known to have lost their jobs over the disaster, even though a House Republican-led panel has heard testimony that President Biden ignored the advice of diplomats by insisting the pullout be completed ahead of the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attack.

In June of last year, a State Department report found officials were not prepared to process more than 125,000 evacuees at once because diplomatic personnel were directed to "continue embassy operations ... in the belief that the security situation would not deteriorate substantially in Kabul for several months at the earliest."

"Nobody ever gets fired in this administration," Trump complained. "It's amazing all the bad things that have happened. Nobody ever gets fired. Problem is, when you fire somebody, they always end up writing a book about you. I've had more books written about me. I fire a lot of people when they don't do a good job."

...

"We will never forget those brave warriors who made the supreme sacrifice for our country," the former president said, adding that "we will honor their memory by restoring a government that puts the American people first."

"The humiliation in Afghanistan set off the collapse of American credibility and respect all around the world," added Trump. "Our country will never be safe again until we have fired those responsible for this disaster."

Despite Biden-Harris lies about this bloody disaster being an "orderly" withdrawal, leaked emails show that the Administration knew it was a bloodbath from the start.

The Pentagon's chief spokesman turned White House spokesman John Kirby, has consistently claimed that the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan was not chaotic, but newly obtained emails reveal that he was acutely aware of the escalating chaos during the operation. These documents, released through a Freedom of Information Act request, show a stark contrast between the Biden administration's public narrative and the reality on the ground.

Key Details:

John Kirby, then-Pentagon spokesman, publicly downplayed the chaos during the Afghan withdrawal, despite receiving numerous reports describing the situation as chaotic and violent, particularly at the Kabul airport.

Internal emails sent to Kirby, obtained by the nonprofit watchdog Functional Government Initiative, use the terms "chaos" or "chaotic" more than two dozen times, directly contradicting Kirby's public statements.

The emails suggest efforts by the Biden administration to manage public perception and minimize the disastrous nature of the withdrawal, with Kirby and other officials instructed to portray the situation in a more positive light.

This is what John Kirby calls "orderly" in public, but admits to be "chaotic" in private emails.

Gee isn't "chaotic" the exact opposite of "orderly"?

Biden and Harris refused to show up for a commemoration of the 13 servicemembers' deaths.

Trump laid a wreath to honor them.


Earlier, Kamala admitted she was the last person to give Biden the thumbs-up on his chaotic, deadly bug-out non-plan.

The US military has already absolved themselves of the deadly disaster that was Kabul.

The US abandoned Bagram which was more easily defended and conducted the evacuation from a more dangerous location - Kabul airport.

All so Joey could claim he ran away on 9/11.

14 Basically everything the Democrats say now is designed not to inform but to be used as a springboard for their media allies to lie for them.

"Biden says it was an orderly withdrawal. Without evidence. Trump has disputed that. But military experts, including several retired officers, agree with Biden's assessment."

1) cite what the Democrats say
2) suggest Trump is lying
3) refuse to cite to what Trump said
4) buttress the Democrats lie by citation to authority

21 You have to remember that all this happened because Biden decided that withdrawing by September 11th would be a PR coup, for some reason.

Not much fighting takes place in the winter in Afghanistan - if the US had waited until winter (and had held onto Bagram airbase to assist the evacuation), the evacuation would have been much more orderly.

I've now got the CIA as #1. Someone took the shot from the Book Depository but it wasn't Oswald, who served as a useful idiot to be the patsy.

37 LBJ had a hand in the slaying of JFK. He was about to be exposed as a criminal--Life Magazine already had a damning article loaded and ready for print. Roger Stone wrote a book about it with LBJ being the one.

Stone asserts in that same book that LBJ had at least 7 other killings on his hands. A loose parallel is that of "pro wrestling"--prior to the internet, the (then) young Von Erichs could go to Florida and Georgia and wrestle as bad guys to get some experience, and then come home to Texas and still be heroes. There was no internet to point out any of this. Well, supposedly LBJ had connections to an assassin that had a particular M.O....which just happened to be how at least 7 of LBJ's opponents died across various parts of Texas over the course of ten years or so. With no internet and barely any police-to-police communication back in the day, Stone asserts LBJ was behind these killings.

As for Oswald, I think he thought he was working for the CIA, and his "defection," as well as his monkeying around with Cooba were concocted by the CIA. Who also got him his job at the book depository.

My guess? When shots rang out, he knew something was up, and high tailed it out of there, only to find out somewhere along the way he was being framed, not just for JFK's murder, but killing a cop he never even saw.

97 QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) — Gunmen in southwestern Pakistan killed at least 38 people in three separate attacks on Monday, officials said, while the military said security forces killed 21 insurgents, marking one of the deadliest days of violence in the restive Baluchistan province, with reports of other shootings and destruction in the area as well.

Twenty-three people were fatally shot overnight after being taken from buses, vehicles and trucks in Musakhail, a district in Baluchistan, senior police official Ayub Achakzai said. The attackers burned at least 10 vehicles before fleeing.

In a separate attack, gunmen killed at least nine people, including four police officers and five passersby, in Baluchistan’s Qalat district, authorities said. The bodies of six people were found in Bolan, where insurgents also blew up a railway track. They also attacked a police station in Mastung and attacked and burned vehicles in Gwadar, all districts in Baluchistan. No casualties were reported in those attacks.
The military said 14 security forces were “martyred” while responding to the attacks. Those appeared to be included in the overall death toll.

If all those happen, there will be no election most likely.

Deep states are not all powerful and they often end up dying from sclerosis and endless thieving at the end. The original term applied to Turkey and Erdogan has ground that Deep State into dust and created another one around him. FDR ground the apolitical Deep State into ground and created a Democratic dominated Deep State that persisted until Reagan. And so on. The Praetorian Guard could make a Caesar until it couldn't all of a sudden and so forth.

Deep States live a normal cycle of shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in about three generations or so.

141 Abandoning Bagram was and is a horrible sacrifice. It's so mind-numbingly foolish that it shouldn't be considered a bugout because "the war is over"; it should be considered an historic gift to China.

Given who is in office and the attitudes of the highest echelons of power, I would conclude this was as important - if not more - than the political calculus of a date-certain withdrawal. Donating the world's longest runway and the many tens of billions of dollars to build it (as well as abandoning a strategic outpost) pretty much screams a direct payout to Communist China.

He bravely turned his tail and fled
Yes, Brave Sir Joey turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave Sir Joey
Petrified of being dead
Soiled his pants then brave Sir Joey
Turned away and fled.

Not much wrong with the initial operation. We used allied locals for most of it, our guys provided needed muscle, and it was quick.

Giving our allied locals the shaft over the next 20 years was not. Having a base wasn't necessarily bad, but getting involved in "nationbuilding" with gay pride and wymyns studies was awful.

Not having a mission for 20 years and staying there was the worst of all.

The army should be banned from being an occupation force, its not their mission. You could argue that even the Post WWII mission in Europe has produced a dangerous, feckless state that provokes war without being able to fight any and governments that don't serve their populace.

Among the more speculative aspects of the RFK murder is the question of whether Sirhan's gun had blanks in it, and how many other shooters were in the room (in addition to Thane Cesar, for whom it is not speculation, but damn near certain he's the one who killed Kennedy).

The others though, would not have been patsies, but there to create chaos, and possibly fire from a close enough approximation to where Sirhan was standing.

229 My favorite Kamala lie is her claim that when she and her sister visited their father in Palo Alto, the parents of the neighborhood kids wouldn't let their kids play with Kamala and her sister, because they were black.

My favorite is that Berkeley schools were segregated in the 1970s. Hell, I was there then, and that's complete and utter crap. It'd be like claiming their schools are segregated today.

Yeah, in ultra-liberal Palo Alto, parents wouldn't let their kids play with the kids of a black Stanford professor.

Pull the other one.

Same as Obama's tales of harrassment at Punahou High School in Hawaii. It didn't happen so they manufactured it.

=================

Who lies? The people who assured us that Biden was "sharp as a tack" right up until they assured us he wasn't fit to run.

These are the same people who say that Trump lies.

232 199 Whig, that is something that I always find infuriating. If you don't talk to blacks or Hipanics you are leaving them to misperceptions. I did a political discussion group here and invited every black pastor and Hispanic leader in town. We had great discussions.

Yes it is and many people including most GOP campaign operatives are stuck in the past. If they notice minorities at all, they do the most awful and embarrassing pandering such as "I like fried chicken and watermelon too" trivialities. Remember GHWB's idiotic comments on pork rinds.

Trump is comfortable in his own skin which is why he can deal with others on an equal basis. Most GOP pols are not like that and the rare exceptions are often hated by their own party members. Fiorello LaGuardia was another example from the past and Reagan was as well.

My favorite remains Hillary saying she was named for Sir Edmond Hilary who at the time was an unknown beekeeper halfway around the planet.

237 "You have to remember that all this happened because Biden decided that withdrawing by September 11th would be a PR coup, for some reason.”

That soulles fuck wanted a photo op of troops leaving on the 20th anniversary, safety of those troops be damned. I’m very glad he will live out his last days with his brain a pile of fish guts.

239 228 Not to be depressing, but this election is pretty much over at this point. Whether Trump wins by a lot or a little, he is going to win.

(I am talking about actual ballots cast, excluding fraud).

And his win will be large enough that any fraud to change the outcome will be stupidly obvious.


i'm hoping he wins the popular vote so that we never hear anything about the popular vote compact again.

240 214 Let's see Kamala take a solo walk through her new "hometown" right now, with no SS protection. Walz would be the new presidential candidate. Oakland is a hellhole

I lived in Oakland for 33 years. Never was as 'bad' as it is now. But the residents are hopeless. To wit: a black woman bakery owner was robbed in daylight outside her bakery and she chased the car and got dragged and died. The perp was sentenced very lightly and her relatives and friends are relieved he doesn't have to spend many years in prison. WTH?

Posted by: Dave in Fla

Not so much. Maduro had the advantage of following Chavez who institutionalized the state but genuinely had majority support most probably as the existing Venezuelan political parties were nothing but looters. It also helps Maduro that Venezuela is a rentier state that depends on foreign oil sales and revenues. Those type of states where taxes are not important can do authoritarian things because it does not affect government revenues. We are in no such shape to do that.

242 The last time I saw the photo still of the Dallas Newsfeed of the Roof Rifle it was featured by a guest on America's Untold Stories.

The footage is out there, but it is hard as hell to find via search engine because of all the false hits.

It was complete bullshit. I]/i] went to Punahou before him, and the only people who got any shit were haoles. Which Obama most certainly was not.

One coach: "Two things I hate: it's race prejudice, and haoles." Now he was joking, but change haoles to ... well ... anything else, and try that on for size.

246 Not much wrong with the initial operation. We used allied locals for most of it, our guys provided needed muscle, and it was quick.

Giving our allied locals the shaft over the next 20 years was not. Having a base wasn't necessarily bad, but getting involved in "nationbuilding" with gay pride and wymyns studies was awful.

Not having a mission for 20 years and staying there was the worst of all.

The army should be banned from being an occupation force, its not their mission. You could argue that even the Post WWII mission in Europe has produced a dangerous, feckless state that provokes war without being able to fight any and governments that don't serve their populace.

247 Don't let
Gen. MIlley retire as a four star general. You can bust him at least down to Colonel for retirement purposes. That is a big chunk of change.
Order Austin back to active duty. Yes that is possible. Then bust him to Colonel for retirement purposes.
Now when that is done, revoke their security clearances to keep them from receiving classified info from moles to leak,
Those two are the first to go, then start working your way down the ranks to rid the stench from our beloved military.
