U.S. officials in Kabul gave the Taliban a list of names of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan allies to grant entry into the militant-controlled outer perimeter of the city’s airport, a choice that's prompted outrage behind the scenes from lawmakers and military officials.
The move, detailed to POLITICO by three U.S. and congressional officials, was designed to expedite the evacuation of tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan as chaos erupted in Afghanistan’s capital city last week after the Taliban seized control of the country. It also came as the Biden administration has been relying on the Taliban for security outside the airport.
Since the fall of Kabul in mid-August, nearly 100,000 people have been evacuated, most of whom had to pass through the Taliban's many checkpoints. But the decision to provide specific names to the Taliban, which has a history of brutally murdering Afghans who collaborated with the U.S. and other coalition forces during the conflict, has angered lawmakers and military officials.
“Basically, they just put all those Afghans on a kill list,” said one defense official, who like others spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive topic. “It’s just appalling and shocking and makes you feel unclean.”

We can't pass this disaster off as stupidity or ignorance, THATS not possible, so it must be on purpose! Which means the Democrats put their Party before Country. Being that is the truth, they should loss their citizenship and be tried for Treason & Sudition, that includes the people in the corrupt medias and the entertainment industry that also has their hands bloody for willfully lying to the American people,and the people that voted for this social incompetent should loss their right to vote for 10 years for not doing their homework and allowing this to happen. We as a nation STILL have laws and we STILL have penalties for people that break them. I for one never saw Trump do ANYTHING wrong that wasn't created in some way by the intolerant left. IF Trump is willing to run again in 2024, the massive election fraud MUST be addressed or it will happen again.
GOP leadership at all levels of Government need to demand Biden's resignation and a total recall of everyone elected to office in November 2020... subject to new elections and paper ballots, cast in person or by absentee ballots notarized as to the authenticity of those casting the ballot. We must also demand proof of citizenship and an official government picture ID as proof of who is casting a ballot. Those not willing to abide by these simple requirements must be denied a vote. We must know who is voting and if they are qualified to vote.
The GOP needs to mobilize its base and send tens of millions to every state capitol demanding a recall amendment subject to new elections... removing every sitting member of the government at the federal and state level... local community governments can remain as staffed... subject to the local voters desire. Tens of millions must remain assembled and on strike until the government acts to pass the recall amendment and sets a date for new elections within 180 days of the recall amendment being ratified.
We must hit the RESET BUTTON on government... let God sort out the good frm the bad... recall them all and deny those currently sitting in a government office any further elected government office...
GOP is in the same boat as biden how can you say the GOP needs to demand biden resignation you and I know he is not going to resign?
How... by organizing millions who are ready to go on strike.... to stay at home or to march on their state Capitols demanding Impeachment and a recall of the government subject to new elections... a Recall and Term Limits Amendment ending the reign of political parties... returning government to the civilian politician who serves his term and returns to his home... to live under the law he passed.
Shutting down the Economy is the greatest PEACEFUL POWER the people COMMAND... the people can withhold their labor... shutting down retail sales, and all the tax revenue generated from economic activity. They can impact the bottom line of major corporations, by going on strike, causing the corporations to put pressure on Government to meet our demands.
However, such an activity requires national resourcing, organization, leadership, and planning... None of which has so far materialized. The GOP is missing an ideal opportunity to impact our future. It can act and in so doing mobilize the people to take back their government PEACEFULLY... without violence... by simply withholding their labor. for as long as it takes to break the hold of the elite and Marxist on OUR REPUBLIC...
The debt limit should keep Congress and the President from printing money without raising the limit... if they are willing to print currency and ignore our Constitution... we are left with little option other than armed revolt... and that could end very badly as we are not organized or resourced for such an action. The ceiling is 22 Trillion hence printing currency should have stopped. Every dollar advanced now has to be funded ... unless Congress suspends the Debt Ceiling again.
The U.S. debt ceiling officially became operative again on Sunday after a two-year suspension, with lawmakers in Washington yet to outline how they’ll avoid a potential default later this year.
See: U.S. Debt Ceiling Suspension Ends, Congress Unclear on Next Step - ... July 31st, 2021.
I have never known phone calls to do a damn thing... those who claim they have are blowing smoke... as there is no way to correlate calls with votes other than speculation. Not only that the switchboards in DC shut down when overloaded and many of the calls simply get dropped. There are separate lines for conducting the business of government... shutting down the incoming calls from citizens doesn't impact Congress or the Administrations's lines... they are private numbers and many are secured lines. For example, the DNS system is the Defense Departments' dedicated network... it is not affected by outside network calls. The White House, Administration, and Congress have similar systems.
The 12th Amendment doesn't exist in a vacuum... the entire electoral process must be considered including the 20th Amendment and Article 1, Sections 4, and Article 2, Section 1, clauses 4 and 5. There is an intrinsic order and timing in the election of a President that bears on the lawful process. Electors can not be used to decertify a president after being sworn in as President. If that becomes law... then no president is secure in his office once sworn in... one or more states may decide to remove him by decertifying the electors... that is seriously problematic.
Well, well I got some news to tell you Marlene America is surviving through Satan's leadership right now.
Giving names of our citizens and/or allies to me certainly seems a treasonous activity. OMG there has to be a way to get rid of this person who is absolutely disastgerous for our Country. It is so sad to see how far the Country has fallen under the Biden presidency. I know it started long ago, but his actions have only exasperated it.
All the more reason for our allies (former allies?) not to trust us.
Thx democrats. You hate Trump so much that you would prefer this. What a bunch of treasonous mf'ing bastards we have running America!!!
