  1. Sad just sad on so many levels. A little shorttime political gain at the cost of the contempt and distrust from former currently and future allies.

    1. That was the point, trumputin spent 4+ years doing everything they could to ruin America’s standing on the world stage. This was the same thing as abandoning the Kurds.

    2. @Always Learning Exactly. What makes it more outrageous is the fact that not only are all the perpetrators, 45, Stephen Miller &co roaming free,the GOP is trying to weaponize this disgraceful action and a lot of the news media is complicit in amplifying their disinformation. What must our allies think of us.

    3. @ellobo1314 “A Court Ruled Rachel Maddow’s Viewers Know She Offers Exaggeration and Opinion, Not Facts
      “Maddow’s show is different than a typical news segment where anchors inform viewers about the daily news,” an Obama-appointed judge ruled.”

    4. @Always Learning “allies of the US are right now putting plans into place to protect themselves from being stabbed in the back by the US”.
      When the US are your allies the safest place to put them is in front of you. Champions of blue-on-blue, show up late and leave early.

    1. @firestream93 Not only is he still free but he has more influence on the American citizens than Joe Biden will ever have, he has about 29000 supporters in line right now in Cullman Alabama waiting to hear him in another save America ralley , Tune in to Newsmax 8;00 pm

    1. @Kristie Ching I understand the science. You don’t. Natural immunity will always be more efficient than artificial immunity from a vaccine.

    2. @Kristie Ching What do you think they’re injecting you with to gain immunity? Bleach? Sugar? No, they’re injecting you with a dialed down dose of the virus. Why do I need that when I had that?

    3. @Kristie Ching Obesity costs America $190 billion dollars a year.. & rising. You can force me to get a coof vaccine right around the time broccoli is mandated & I get to see your gym membership.

    4. @Kristie Ching Poor lifestyle choices have been killing people for decades. Health care money out the door. So you suddenly get to decide it’s OK to be obese, unless you don’t have a Covid vaccination… 😆 🤣 😂

  2. “Mike Pence knows this” and is going to do precisely what about it? Continue to praise Trump and vilify Biden. He still thinks he has a political career ahead of him. Beyond pathetic.

    1. Joe Biden just handed over Afghanistan to China because China needs mineral like Lithium. The unlimited supply of Lithium will enable China to surpass the US in electric car battery manufacturing in time for the CCP’s economic and military take over of the US in 2042. You are distracted and dumb and they know it and they are busy dividing this country by unfettered immigration, race wars and political affiliation harm. .

    2. Didn’t Trump try to have Pence killed on Jan 6, so that Pence couldn’t give Biden the oath of office?

  3. Rachel unfortunately Trump and all of them can say one thing and do another.. they are never accountable for their words.

    Omg they are taking a horse medicine 😳

    1. Just a question: Are you a doctor? Can you be absolutely sure that it wouldn’t work? Do you know anything about Pharmacology? It seems everyone on YouTube thinks they’re in the medical field.

    2. True this medication and variations of it are used on animals to control parasites, various worms, fleas, ticks and mites.

    3. @David Meyers From the WHO: “Ivermectin is a broad spectrum anti-parasitic agent, included in WHO essential medicines list for several parasitic diseases. It is used in the treatment of onchocerciasis (river blindness), strongyloidiasis and other diseases caused by soil transmitted helminthiasis. It is also used to treat scabies.”

    4. @firestream93, who are you asking about being a doctor? Rachel, literally, showed the legitimate groups of doctors and scientists (the FDA, NIH, and the WHO), AND the company that MAKES Ivermectin are all saying not to take the horse medicine. Good Lord, the medicine is for deworming horses! How does that even relate to Covid??? Learn something about the virus! It’s not a worm! 🦠🐛 SMH 😅🙄😒

    1. @Miriam Reiß Fascist propaganda. Just like fascist fox. The only Taliban in this country is Trump and his Fascist followers and this fool who calls himself TALIBAN Biden.

    2. @Boeingcorp news max is just as Anti-american ANTI-DEMOCRACY SUBVERSIVES as fox. All are deliberately and maliciously undermining this REPUBLIC. They want to being down the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. They couldn’t do it if it weren’t fur the fools who listen to them.

    3. @Black Raven Umm, actually that’s exactly what the left did. They have been completely ignoring the constitution and the left are the worst domestic terrorists of all time. They love burning, looting, and murdering. It was the left in Portland not anyone on the right, but cute effort. It’s almost like you love being wrong 100% of the time. Everything you said is you and the left. Get woke and try to keep up please.

  4. I’m a former Army Ranger who proudly served in Afghanistan and Iraq. Those interpreters and locals helped out more ways than DTrump will ever know! They deserve those Visas. It’s sickening how long (for years to come) it will take us to recover because of DTrump.

    1. @Freedom Life 😂😅🤣😅😂🤣🤣😅😅🤣 Wow, fake news has really done a job on your tiny little brain!!!!😂😅🤣😂😅🤣🤣😅🤣😂🤣

    2. @Sandi Harris So it does not bother you that previous adminstration’s anti immigration policies extended to the very people in Afghanistan that kept American soldiers safe?

    3. @Pat Doyle Biden just left BILLIONS of dollars worth of American equipment for the terrorists, but people like you, can’t help bringing up something that happend 6 months ago.

      So, let’s start investigating Biden’s role in Afghanistan, the same way that Jan 6th is being investigated. Sound good?

    1. Yes, but he is also a very sick puppy like Dump. They think the end justifies the means no matter what. He planned the Capitol attack.Blessings!

  5. That first post confirms what I have said all along – Trump had no intention of EVER allowing tens of thousands of Muslim refugees into the USA for ANY reason.

    1. “A Court Ruled Rachel Maddow’s Viewers Know She Offers Exaggeration and Opinion, Not Facts
      “Maddow’s show is different than a typical news segment where anchors inform viewers about the daily news,” an Obama-appointed judge ruled.”

    2. @News Troll You want to hear some irony:

      Biden doesn’t want civilians to own semi-automatic AR-15s. But, he leaves fully-automatic M4s for the terrorists. Odd, right?

    3. This is not a news program. This is a court determined opinion show. It was determined that she shouldn’t be believed by any reasonable person.

    4. @Mike Morgan same for Fox News as admitted by their own lawyers and cited by Judge in a court action.

    5. @coffeelovingmusic I take it you have never watched an episode of Fox News in your entire life? They are the only ones that show video of what is actually happening in the world! And they are the only ones that interview world leaders, nobody on CNN or MSNBC ever has world leaders on there. It tells you who all the prominent people of the world trust for news.

  6. I could’ve answered it blindly. Why didn’t the US save the afghans they are working with? Racism

  7. They can’t get their visas because republicans made it that way so they could blame democrats at a later date, duh.

    1. My surgeon needed my body to perform an “operation”. But he only used it to stash the instruments used in a malpractice lawsuit against him.

    1. Steven Miller. Will Be On The New “ “ “SOUTHWEST COMMERCIAL”. NEED TO GET AWAY RIGHT NOW “ !!😂😂😂😂💥💥💥🎉🐍🐍🐍💥💥💥

    2. 💯Multiple ex- Trump officials & an advocate for Afghan allies, all say Miller obstructed the visa application directly & with loyalists he put in certain jobs. It was so bad, a judge ruled the administration broke the law by missing deadlines to notify visa applicants. Matt Zeller, a CIA Afghanistan War vet, debunked Miller’s lie that no US government official ever offered refugee status to any Afghan ally. We always promise visas if people risk their lives to help. He wants Miller charged with war crimes, because he’s “complicit” in the deaths of Afghan interpreters he delayed.

    3. Joe Biden just handed over Afghanistan to China because China needs mineral like Lithium. The unlimited supply of Lithium will enable China to surpass the US in electric car battery manufacturing in time for the CCP’s economic and military take over of the US in 2042. You are distracted and dumb and they know it and they are busy dividing this country by unfettered immigration, race wars and political affiliation harm. .

  8. I only hope S. Miller gets the same he has been dishing out for decades. Tit for tat…. No more nor less. If it were the case, this criminal would end up in Guantanamo 🤣🤣🤣

  9. Know what would help? Having Universal single payer Healthcare so everyone would have a physician without worrying about how to pay. Then people would be more likely to consult a doctor.

  10. Not only did they know the Afghan government would collapse, “45” made sure of it w/prisoner releases of the worst; “45” broke yet another law — WHY is he not in prison?

  11. They didn’t want anyone from those countries here, just like any of those at our border trying to flee oppressions in their countries. To Republicans, if you’re not white and rich you’re not welcome!!
