1. K & R . . .

[madaboutharry]

2. The media, and certain journalists in particular,

owe President Biden an apology.

He is doing a great job.

[emmaverybo]

4. Yes, yes, yes!

[ffr]

31. I was just going to say, JRB is making the media look like fools

Turning what they are calling a failure into a triumph!

The JRB era is going to be one historians will be using for decades, maybe centuries to come as the benchmark of American leadership in the world.

[Botany]

3. And they did that in 10 days too.

Expect to see lots of stories on Fox & NewMax tonight (if you wanna watch that crap) about
crime in Chicago, the broken border, and transgender ANTIFA doctors who are forcing vaccine
mandates on American people.

[Ray Bruns]

38. and Benghazi. Don't forget Benghazi.

[electric_blue68]

5. That's a pretty amazing number!

[Botany]

13. We were at 57,800 @ 9:30 AM that is a pick up of 20,000 in just 8 hours.

We very well might be at 100,000 before Friday. CNN the NY Times and so on need to apologize to
President Joe Biden for those hit pieces about how poorly the evac was going.

[bluedevil4]

24. It didn't

We’ve transported 21600 people. Other countries are also transporting there people out. The larger numbers are inclusive with other countries

[Botany]

34. And that's a bad thing? We are working with our allies to get the mission done. ¡qu lstima!

Your concern is noted.

[bluedevil4]

36. That's a

good thing

[wnylib]

40. Hasn't Biden been coordinating the evacuation

with other countries? He has also been calling on other countries to accept refugees. It is not a one person mission, but he is actively coordinating with other parties involved.

One concern that I have now is that there are always people in situations like this who get stuck trying to get to a place where they can be picked up. Despite very active, aggressive efforts to reach out to around 1000 Americans still in Afghanistan, there are problems with coordinating how to meet up with US rescue teams to be taken to the airport. Inevitably, some will get left behind. I believe that we will still try for as long as it takes to get them out, but any snags in the process will be inflated. There is also the concern that geting them out will involve some violence.

But overall Biden is doing very well.

6. Around 4000 Americans evacuated as of Yesterday...

The Balance being coalition nationals plus Afghans.

Still ~10k Americans in Afghanistan.

17. Those Americans were told to leave in March, April, May, June, July....

WTF for they were waiting for. I don't think the military are going to be flying helicopters all around to find them, it is dangerous. Really, people that can't prove their Americans? Seven days left, get there or beware. Its sure makes one wonder just what they were doing there that they wouldn't contact the Embassy.

[monkeyman1]

21. that length of time - forget them -hard to say-they made the choice !

it's called common sense !

[Effete Snob]

7. That's pretty impressive

[TheProle]

8. It's a big number

But until we know how many Americans are still in-country tomorrow, I’ll withhold my applause.

[mcar]

9. An amazing feat!

Well done, team Biden.

BTW, just about every member of the MSM owes the president an apology. I won't hold my breath, though.

[onetexan]

10. compared to Vietnam's 7000 that is impressive. lame stream media needs to focus on this.

[monkeyman1]

22. you mean - " American tabloids !"

[Hulk]

11. Never enough for the cult gQp

I'm so damned proud of the President, his administration, the military and the whole mission thus far.

Can you imagine what would be going on with the orange draft dodging coward twice impeached fat sack of human waste would be handling this with miller the Nazi by his side.

Thank God President Biden won that election!

[peggysue2]

12. The Administration and the military are ramping up the numbers, all day, all night

I thought getting 10,400 out on Sunday was impressive. But the joint effort obviously has a well-planned evac-process in place and it's running in high gear.

to all involved. They're saving lots of lives.

[Fla Dem]

14. I'm sure Richard Engel (NBC/MSNBC) will have some disappointing news for us.

God he is such a wanker.

[crimycarny]

15. To those in MSM saying "This happened on Biden's watch. Biden bears responsiblity"

Does that mean he also gets the credit? Or is he only allowed to take responsibility for anything that goes wrong?

[bucolic_frolic]

16. I'm beginning to think the Republicans have been played

by Biden Administration underestimating possibilities, soft-peddling expectations, and then over-delivering. These guys are very, very smart!

[helpisontheway]

18. Sick of him and Jonathan Lemiere. Nt

[roamer65]

19. Hopefully some of them here setup Afghani restaurants.

I love Indian and Pakistani food.

There is room for them here, especially since we will be losing a lot more RW covidiots.

[monkeyman1]

23. helping out the housing problems ! ANTIVA'S!

[Lonestarblue]

25. I'll second that! If you're ever in the Boston area, check out Helmand.

It’s located in Cambridge and features Afghan food. I haven’t eaten there in ages since I no longer live there, but I remember it as being excellent. Helmand is owned by former Afghanistan president Hamid Karzai’s brother.

[RicROC]

42. and I've met Afghans.....they are the nicest people

we need to import some 'nice' people into the US

[BobTheSubgenius]

20. Critics are calling the evac chaos, a disaster.

If they're too young to remember it in the moment, they should find and watch footage of the fall of Saigon. I remember people leaping to catch hold of a helo after it had lifted off, and hanging on for dear life (literally) until they got within swimming distance of a carrier.

THAT was chaos.

[Ohioboy]

26. What is the estimate of people that need to get out?

In other words, how close is this to completing the mission?

[Johonny]

30. I imagine it's impossible to know the actual number

I imagine until they stop showing up to flee the country, they've not got everyone out that wants out. How many want out, IDK.

[Ohioboy]

32. There will never be enough for the haters and pundits

Even if every American and Afghan that helped us were to get out, the pundits will act like everyone was abandoned. It will all be on Biden, and TFGs role of surrendering the country to the Taliban will be totally overlooked by his supporters.

[Johonny]

35. It's standard US media

Americans always assume everyone in Vietnam and Cuba are helpless souls that will do anything to escape.

Heck the US media still ignores liberal urbanites to get a REAL American view by interview countless white middle age male rural Americans even though they're the minority and seemly an ever shrinking one.

[Hekate]

27. Oh the humanity! The chaos! The lack of planning! If this keeps up, it'll be ...

… the biggest airlift in human history!

I love Joe Biden.

[lindysalsagal]

28. tfg couldn't get a mouse out that door.

[Champp]

29. .

[Moebym]

33. Thank you, President Biden.

The cynical ones out there who have accused him of not caring about the people of Afghanistan, I have one question to ask...

How many people will have to be evacuated before you will concede that yes, he does care? 100k? 250k? One million? Every last woman and girl?

I know their answer - it's "not enough".

[Roc2020]

37. excellent!

You the man Joe

[llmart]

41. Joe Biden is an amazing President. We are so fortunate to have him at this time in history.

I'm also so glad that he won the nomination and that I could vote for him. This is what it means to have an experienced person as the leader of our country, not some full of b.s. grifter/conman who doesn't know shit from shinola (one of my late father's greatest lines).

Thank you President Biden!
