I gotta say, I never expected CNN and MSNBC to turn on Biden this fast. That just shows how wildly unpopular his handling of Afghanistan has been. This is going to be his legacy.

And, they want Kamala as POTUS.

Guards at Kabul embassy told they are ineligible for UK protection

The Guardian by Amelia Gentleman 8/19/2021

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/19/guards-at-kabul-embassy-told-they-are-ineligible-for-uk-protection

Quote
More than 100 guards at the British embassy in Kabul have been told they are not eligible for UK government protection because they were hired through an outsourced contractor, the Guardian has learned.

Most of the 125-strong team of security personnel, employed by the global security firm GardaWorld, have been given informal notice that they no longer have jobs guarding the embassy, several said.

The guards, some of whom had been working for the UK embassy for over a decade, described feeling abandoned by British officials and their employer. Many have been forced into hiding, fearing for their lives.

Meanwhile, more than 100 guards doing the same work for the US embassy, under a separate GardaWorld contract, have been evacuated and others were receiving support from the US embassy, according to a senior Afghan national GardaWorld employee in charge of human resources.

On Saturday night, at the end of a long shift helping British diplomats get to Kabul airport so they could flee after the fall of the Afghan capital to the Taliban, several British embassy guards said they were told by phone that since the embassy was now closed their services would no longer be required. They were asked to hand back computers, body armour and radios.

Arming the Taliban with advanced weaponry funded by the American taxpayers will be the highlight of the Biden foreign policy legacy.

Don't hold your breath waiting for the media to mention it without spinning it into something wise.

@mystery-ak

I see this as the beginning of the push by the DNC to remove Biden and replace him with Harris in time to build up her creds and distance her from Biden in time for the elections.

THAT is why she is in VN now. Is it even possible to get further away from Afghanistan than VN?

Taliban Going Door To Door Seeking Christians, Searching Through Phones For Bible Apps: Report
"Only God understands how much pain we have and how broken our hearts are."
By  Jon Brown
Aug 19, 2021  DailyWire.com

Afghan Christians are reportedly fleeing to the mountains in a desperate attempt to escape the Taliban who is going door to door trying to kill them.

An underground church that partners with Frontier Alliance International (FAI) has reported that the Taliban are targeting Christians for death. According to FAI:
Quote
    The Taliban has a hit list of known Christians they are targeting to pursue and kill. The US Embassy is defunct and there is no longer a safe place for believers to take refuge. All borders to neighboring countries are closed and all flights to and from have been halted, with the exception of private planes. People are fleeing into the mountains looking for asylum. They are fully reliant on God, who is the only One who can and will protect them.

    The Taliban are going door-to-door taking women and children. The people must mark their house with an “X” if they have a girl over 12 years old, so that the Taliban can take them. If they find a young girl and the house was not marked they will execute the entire family. If a married woman 25 years or older has been found, the Taliban promptly kill her husband, do whatever they want to her, and then sell her as a sex slave.

    Husbands and fathers have given their wives and daughters guns and told them that when the Taliban come, they can choose to kill them or kill themselves—it is their choice.  ...

The State Department Has Abandoned Its CH-46 Helicopters In Afghanistan
Evacuations in Kabul will likely be the last major mission for U.S. CH-46 "Phrogs," which served in this same role in Saigon nearly 50 years ago.

Something big is going on here, as everything points to it.  The media just doesn't turn on Biden like this, as this is no accident.  They are trying to get rid of him.  Everyone knows now that Joe is incompetent.  Tucker tonight read from the ABC interview transcript that ABC didn't broadcast and it was devastating.  Biden got his facts wrong and had to correct himself over and over.....heck you could even see that George saw his incompetence.

Now the news that Biden is going home for the weekend....this is just too weird.  I give him a few days if not a few weeks before he's out of there.  Just a gut feel, but something doesn't feel right.....
