The prez can't speak until they pump him full of teleprompter reading juice. Also, the handlers need to figure all the right words that need to be said, and I'm sure it won't come from the heart. And if he takes questions they will need to have a list of who he is to call upon. This is BS. This whole debacle is BS.

RIP to those who gave all.

I'm pretty sure they're pumping Biden full of something to make him somewhat lucid for a couple of minutes so he can read his pre-scripted messages off the teleprompter. He never sticks around to answer questions because he can't risk the drugs wearing off while he's on camera.

We've seen videos of Biden in unguarded moments -- the guy's a nursing home patient who doesn't know where he's going.

20 years worth of American + Allies improving Afghanistan and after the bombings today, they're STILL taking people away in wheelbarrows WTF ? 😉

Now we have 11 Marines and 1 Navy Medic killed 😠

Seriously? OMG, that is really bad optics all around. Even the most minor of comments, or even just extending sympathies to the families would have counted positively.

What a coward.

They started cutting Biden's microphone off again this week. He's imploding.

I am seeing rumors that there has been a 4th explosion.

American casualty list will grow 😠

I've been wondering about how many smaller attacks there have been that we just haven't heard about.


If it's not happening AT the airport, they may be able to keep quiet about it.

Are you able to obtain any sources?

Zero Hedge is saying that there are reports of up to FIVE explosions now.

a reply to: butcherguy

I'm seeing rumours of a 5th blast circulating on Twitters feed but nothing to confirm whether this is legit. This is horrifying

Supposedly Biden will be popping his head up out of his hole and speak at 5:00 P.M. EST.
(A little over 1 hour from now)

Yes, they are unverified, but at this point, I don't that it is true.

Islamic State have claimed the attack.

Islamic State claims it carried out Kabul attack

The terror group has said on its Telegram account it was behind the twin blasts and gunfire outside Kabul airport today.

It was widely believed Islamic State affiliate ISIS-K had carried out the attack

In all fairness, that doesn't mean much. They'd claim responsibility for a bar fight.

Reports suggest the explosions were US forces destroying ammunition. According to Sky News.
