Woman Screams At Biden: ‘I Hope You Burn In Hell! That Was My Brother!’
Roice McCollum, who lost her brother Rylee in the attack, told the Post of Biden, “He cannot possibly understand. My dad and I did not want to speak to him. You cannot kneel on our flag and pretend you care about our troops. You can’t fuck up as bad as he did and say you’re sorry. This did not need to happen, and every life is on his hands. The thousands of Afghans who will suffer and be tortured is a direct result of his incompetence.”

Ouch.
That tweet is almost something to celebrate.
He’s a useless bag of shite
Why is Under Armour on there?
That's who I switched to when I quit buying Nike.
I have my principles, but I don't want to be walking around in a bunch of Spalding gear.
The right wants to cancel them because their ceo made some statement about America moving forward and unity under the new administration.
The right loves them some cancel culture.
Seems like typical thing for some to do
WASHINGTON, Aug 31 (Reuters) — In the last call between U.S. President Joe Biden and his Afghanistan counterpart before the Taliban seized control of the country, the leaders discussed military aid, political strategy and messaging tactics, but neither Biden nor Ashraf Ghani appeared aware of or prepared for the immediate danger of the entire country falling to insurgents, a transcript reviewed by Reuters shows.
The men spoke for roughly 14 minutes on July 23. On August 15, Ghani fled the presidential palace, and the Taliban entered Kabul. Since then, tens of thousands of desperate Afghans have fled and 13 U.S. troops and scores of Afghan civilians were killed in a suicide bombing at the Kabul airport during the frenetic U.S. military evacuation.
Reuters reviewed a transcript of the presidential phone call and has listened to the audio to authenticate the conversation. The materials were provided on condition of anonymity by a source who was not authorized to distribute it.
In much of the call, Biden focused on what he called the Afghan government’s “perception” problem. “I need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan, I believe, is that things are not going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban,” Biden said. “And there is a need, whether it is true or not, there is a need to project a different picture.”

A lot can be said about Biden, but it's pretty hard to hang the "you can never understand the death of a family member" tag on him.
Did we forget to burn the "How to Operate" manual before we left them there?
we left them with our allies, then they lost them.
we didn't bother to tell the Afghan National Army how to break them, we figured they could do that on their own.
