The FBI is asking for your help identifying the insurrectionists in the Kabul presidential palace riot!

Maybe Kabul has all just been to prove that it's really non-binary.

Now that you see the lengths democrats will go just to make Trump look bad, you really still believe there was no election fraud?

China gave us the virus, and the "cure". Think about that.

Well, yes. That is literally how mainstream media works.

We can't afford (or want) to send our own reporters to every single story. So for stuff like this, we tend to utilize wire services / pool feeds.

That specific story comes from Associated Press. You'll see this if you click on any of the links which you pictures.

Even the experimental ones that have killed more people than all the vaccinations combined in the past 20 years?

Some alternate reality you live in there, bud. Not gonna bother arguing with the dingdong squad here, but yeah, it really is that simple. You either do what you're told or accept the consequences in the military. Don't like it? Don't sign up. Simple.

a) The vaccines are experimental until the the FDA says they're fully approved. It's provisional right now.

b) The "death toll" from the vaccine that's been bandied about is about 3,500. Seeing as two of my friends have had their fathers die within days of the shot (inflammation around the heart), and that my own 89 y/o father went almost comatose with his first shot, I'm not surprised. Plus--again with my dad--he had TWO false positive Covid tests which were later disproven with a far more reliable antigen test. However, I'm sure that both false positives have been noted in official documents as being positive Covid tests. All the data has been skewed the way the government and big pharma want it, so I'm going to make the not so bold claim that the 3,500 number is low.

Last, no need to cast aspersions on someone you don't even know.....it's bad form.

This was on purpose. Just like the fall of Afghanistan.

It's kinda amazing watching the same people that have been bitching about us being there, crying able what's about to happen to the Afghan people. Do they not realise they are the cause of this?
