So our government is flying illegal immigrants from the Mexican boarder all over the US and dropping them off on the taxpayer dime but are charging US citizens for the privilege of being evacuated from a situation the government created??????????
While it's always been US law that reimbursement is required, "U.S. officials tell NatSec Daily and others that evacuation flights from Kabul will be free."
Now, back to reality and the root cause for the situation in Afghanistan as per Trump's previous national security advisor General H R McMaster who again today echoed his statements at the time that, "The Trump administration's withdrawal from Afghanistan and partnership with the Taliban has made the United States less safe," and "I think what [President Trump] did with this new policy, is he, in effect, is partnering with the Taliban against, in many ways, the Afghan government," and: "McMaster says the president partnered with the Taliban before peace talks in Doha, Qatar, and diminished the sacrifice of American troops who died during the Afghanistan War."

I'll add this from Trump's former secretary of defense, Mark Esper: " Trump 'undermined' US deal with the Taliban by rushing withdrawal of troops".

Greg's MAGABillie media feedstore leaves out that glaring fact, of course. Nothing like the "law and order" party being exposed for the hypocrites that they truly are...

We're supposed to give a shit what a guy with a hatred for the guy who fired him and caused him to leave in disgrace has to say?

Thanks for the laughs!   

We need them at this point, because things are so dire for 10s of 1000s of Americans and Afghanis stuck behind enemy lines, all due to Joe Biden's reckless, imbecilic actions.

He's already gotten people killed due to his recklessness, and now the Taliban are going door to door, yanking people out of their homes and executing them on the spot.

They are telling people that they need to mark their houses if they have young girls 12 and older in there, and if they don't and they come by and find young girls there, they will execute the entire family.

The girls they do find are sold into sex slavery,  12 year old children and you excuse this guy's recklessness. 

Disgusting.
"you mean the GUY that Trump FIRED because he was an idiot?"
Nope!, Trump only hires the best people, remember?
"Trump would nominate Esper to serve as Secretary of Defense in a permanent capacity," " after Acting Secretary Patrick Shanahan decided to withdraw his nomination."

He fired Esper.  Esper is like all the other tools, retaliatory.

His opinion is meaningless.

Next.....  
"Esper already had a resignation letter ready to go — because Trump threatened to fire him in June over a disagreement about using active duty troops to quell street protests — and had recently updated it.
Esper is the former Army secretary and Raytheon executive who took over the job in July of last year from retired Marine Gen. Jim Mattis. Mattis abruptly resigned over efforts by Trump to quickly reduce troops in Syria."
The only meaningless opinion here is yours...

If Trump had handled it, they would have had to pay and they never would have got their money back!...

The finger Greg, is what Trump gives back to his supporters everyday, like all the ones who donated to his election fraud recount scheme. 
"The majority of a donation went to helping Trump’s campaign cover its debt." ''And raise money the president can use to keep his political career afloat"

Maybe it's because he's being an obtuse moron?...

Regeneron: MAGA Media's Latest Hydroxychloroquine

The right wingers and MAGA media are supplementing it with animal grade dewormer Ivermectin (with predictable results). 
The FDA had to phrase it in a manner the MAGAbillies will understand:
“You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y'all. Stop it,” the agency said on Twitter, along with an article explaining why ivermectin shouldn’t be used to treat the coronavirus.
