  1. Meanwhile, Trump wants to free nearly 1,500 American “Taliban” prisoners who rioted in DC on January 6.

    Pointing out yet again that one of those prisoners went on to launch the suicide attack that killed the 13 servicemembers that Republicans keep trying to blame Biden for.

  3. I wish more journalists had spines and would call out his lie that no one died there in his last 18 months. It’s so frustrating. In other words, he gave up 5000 Taliban prisoners but made up this lie to mitigate how fucking bad that is.

  4. I wonder if Kamala can smack Trump this smear during the debate: “Trump worked to free 5,000 dangerous Taliban extremists, you can ask the networks to fact-check this now.” And the networks subsequently confirms this live.

  5. Why is the media just getting around to reporting this?

    It’s literally in the DOHA agreement which is available to anyone that can google.

  6. Look up the GOP “Two Santa’s” strategy. 

    It usually applies to taxes but applies here.

    They get “gift” during their administration and then get a “gift” again blaming the repercussions of their decision on the Democrats. 

  7. And they were successful. Perhaps trump should have waited for USA troops to leave Afghanistan before doing that.

    You know it’s Trumps fault because they only passingly try to badmouth biden. If it wasn’t so obviously trumps fault there would be a never ending series of trials and congressional investigations.

    So they just make comments.

    Hey guys, it’s almost like Trump set fire to the barn on his way out of Dodge or something.
