Biden: Bragging about airlift, "double what the experts said we could."

Commends military, diplomats, natsec.

"Just at Dover. We owe them and their families a debt we can never repay. We must never, never forget."

He is yelling, not sure why.
"I told team to prepare for every eventuality. We were ready for Afghan forces not to hold on."

Yelling about Ghani fleeing the country.

"This is the way the mission was designed." YIKES.

Since March, we reached out to Americans 19 times with warnings and offers to leave.
"Most of those who remain are dual citizens who earlier decided to stay. 90% of Americans who wanted to leave were able to leave. We remain committed to getting them out if they want to get out."

Blinken in charge of that. YIKES.

The Taliban has made commitments...
to let people leave safely.

Biden now blaming Trump. By the time I came to office, Taliban was in strongest position since 2001.

"I was not going to extend this forever war. This was a unanimous decision" by his staff and commanders in the field.

He's really yelling.
For those who remain, we will make arrangements to get them out if they so choose.

Says we will continue to lift people out of Afghanistan.

"I take responsibility for the decision."

Joe Biden acting like his fingerprints aren't all over this 20-year war is pretty infuriating.
"We delivered justice to Bin Laden ten years ago." (He opposed the Bin Laden mission.)

"It was time to end this war."

I would say this is phony indignation but it's not. Biden is very pissed he's getting blowback for this.
Biden claiming he'll go after foreign terror after prioritizing imaginary "domestic terrorism" for the first part of his presidency is something.

As we turn the page on the past 20 years of foreign policy...WHO WROTE THOSE PAGES?

"We will not forgive. We will not forget." 🙄
"The war should have ended years ago."

Like between 2009 and 2017?

He's now raging about what we've spent in 20 years. "What have we lost?"

He really is the victim/hero in his own mind. Galling.
OMG HE JUST BROUGHT UP BEAU AGAIN.

He has not mentioned the name of one service member killed last week.

Oath Keepers status hearing. DOJ says it’s making “progress” on discovery. Lol FBI put together still shots of USCP surveillance video for defense. DOJ does NOT want that video made public or even to defense. Just amazing.
Reminder that DOJ and USCP have total control over 14,000 surveillance video from January 6. In a recent update, DOJ said half the footage was not relevant to J6 investigation.
Judge Mehta asking if defense will be able to access video for a specific area of the Capitol.

He says it’s “critical” for defense to access video. The legal battle for USCP footage will be huge.

As we mourn the murder of nearly 3,000 Americans while taking our lives back to that horrific and heartbreaking day 20 years ago, I wonder how many feel how I do.

Unlike 20 years ago, I believe the biggest threat to America doesn’t exist outside our border. It resides here.
Our political, government, business, and academic leadership are destroying the goodness and hope of this country. They’re doing far worse damage than any foreign terror cell could possibly hope to achieve. It’s why their comparisons btw 9/11 to January 6 are so revealing.
Look no further than the collaboration between every powerful interest in 2020 to oust Donald Trump. When the folks in charge hijack one of our most sacred rights, then brag about it in plain sight, what’s more threatening to our democracy than that?

Big hearing today in Oath Keepers case. Two motions on the schedule - change of venue and motion to dismiss obstruction of official proceeding count.

Listening now. Last month, Judge Mehta scolded DOJ for discovery delays in the case:

amgreatness.com/2021/08/13/the…
First trial date is set for end of January for detained defendants. Five Oath Keepers are behind bars awaiting trial, some have been in jail since January. Accused of no violent crimes.

Mehta addressing Ken Harrelson -- John Pierce was his attorney. He's been MIA.
David Fischer is Thomas Caldwell's attorney. He has filed a lengthy motion that argues obstruction of an official proceeding did not apply to Electoral College certification. Other attorneys have as well.

There is zero change Mehta will dismiss this charge.

Jacob Chansley, the most famous J6 protester, pleads guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding, a felony.

Last J6 protester to plead guilty to same charge sentenced to 8 months in prison.

Chansley has been in prison for almost 8 months. amgreatness.com/2021/07/19/bid…
Chansley, with no criminal record, will now be a convicted felon.

I cannot wait until the next massive protest in DC when leftist activists occupy a building to stop official Congressional business. Think those people will face felony charges? No way.
Al Watkins, Chansley lawyer, asking for his release. He’s been in solitary 22/23 hours a day with exception of time at time in Englewood facility.

Suffers severe mental strain. Wants him sent home to his family during pre-sentence period. Lamberth denied his release last hearing

Plea hearing up now for Jacob Chansley, the so-called QAnon shaman. Checked docket this am and no filing about plea arrangement. My guess is guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding charge.

Chansley has been incarcerated for almost 8 months, mostly I solitary.
Chansley isn’t accused of any violent crime. Judge Lamberth, an obviously cruel man who needs to retire, refused to release Chansley after last hearing even after lawyer detailed Chansley’s deteriorating mental health.
Getting started. Someone just yelled “FREEDOM.” Not sure if it was Chansley.
