'Monstrous Human': Erik Prince Reportedly Charging $6,500 for Seats Out of Kabul
Blackwater founder Erik Prince. The brother of Trump's Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.
"Last year, Trump pardoned four contractors of the now-defunct Blackwater who were convicted of killing over a dozen unarmed citizens in Baghdad's 2007 Nisour Square massacre. Earlier this year, a United Nations report accused Prince of violating an arms embargo by sending weapons to Libyan warlord and former CIA asset Khalifa Haftar."
Nice guy. Typical conservative. Making money off the suffering of other humans.

@mott-the-hoople saidA part of me says that if these folks went there on their own free will, paying their way over, then that was their choice, so they should pay their way back.

@mott-the-hoople saidMy guess is they'll end up not paying for it. The taxpayers will foot the bill.

It's not a partisan thing, though. Not everything is.

@averagejoe1 saidthe people were there of their own free will but was not expecting to be abandoned in the manner biden did.

@Mott-The-Hoople
So the bottom line is you could give a rats ass if we had left all those folks who helped the US and allies against the Taliban and it is already well known the Taliban WILL kill every one of them AND their family.
Besides that, we get into another overseas conflict and send troops there and we ask the locals for help, just how would they be expected to trust the US to take care of them when the fighting is over and we lose again just like Saigon and now Afghanistan, if we throw those THOUSANDS of people under the bus and just go home and FUK those patriots who helped us.
You have SUCH an empathic mind.
@mott-the-hoople saidThey sound like a bunch of free loaders to me.

Someone's gotta de-escalate this carp. Every single bad thing Trump did, it was all IMPEACH or JAIL HIM FOR LIFE. Conservatives were blaming the media for over-hyping each crisis and libs were falling out of their chairs reading their tweet feeds.
Now the shoes on the other foot. Biden's executing the withdrawal agreement with the Afghan gov't and the Taliban and the US. It's never pretty admitting we lost a war and pulling out, but we're doing it. We need to stop saying Biden needs to resign or quit or be impeached for this.
ALL OF WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW WAS PREDICTED TO HAPPEN YEARS AGO. We still made the deal with the Taliban.
@Mott-The-Hoople
Exactly how did Biden abandon 'them'? There have been 105,000 airlifted out as of today.
You are really TERRIBLE coming up with what you THINK are jabs at Biden.
What is REALLY going on here is your continued life long STUPID.
@mott-the-hoople saidTry to convince me that Erik Prince is not Republican.
