    Harris laughs at, shuts down questions as she says Afghanistan is her highest priority

    After embarking on her Southeast Asia tour, Harris addressed a gaggle of reporters on the airport tarmac, cutting off a reporter who began to ask her about the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan.

    "What's your response to reports of Americans—" the reporter began, speaking over the sound of jet engines.

    "Hold on, hold on, hold on," Harris said, cutting off the reporter. "Slow down, everybody," Harris added, afterward letting out a big laugh.

    "I want to talk about two things. First, Afghanistan— We couldn't have a higher priority right now," Harris said after finishing her laugh. "And in particular high priority is making sure that we safely evacuate American citizens, Afghans who worked with us, Afghans at risk, including women and children, and that is one of our highest if not the highest priority right now."

    Because the reporter was never allowed to finish her question, it's not clear what she was going to ask Harris specifically. However, it sounded like she was going to ask Harris about the Americans trapped in Afghanistan.

    I’m surprised her handlers let her get near a microphone.

    We all know that you really dislike Harris and really couldn’t care less. Another nothingburger from the peanut gallery.

    The majority of the country dislikes Harris. I’ll bet her dog even hates her.

    VP Harris doesn’t need any handlers. She is an intelligent, highly accomplished woman who came from humble beginnings to rise to the Vice Presidency of the US. We all know how threatening that is to some people in America. Some of the vile insults that are commonly hurled at her by the anonymous trolls in the cheap seats say a lot more about their limp dickedness than they do about her. She had just returned from a long trip and was ambushed by a bunch of news buzzards. Maybe she just woke up and wasn’t in the mood to play their game at the moment.

    We all know what she is, the only thing left is negotiating a price.

    Proved my point by calling her a whore. If it was my sister, my wife, my daughter or my friend and you said that around me, I’d have to beat your ass on the spot. But as an anonymous troll on the internet, you can do it all you like. However, as I pointed out earlier, those ie cheapshots say a lot more about you than they do about Ms. Harris. I am sure she’s heard and read all of them and just laughs the off like she did to the reporter.

    The bottom line is that anyone who is in Afghanistan now and wants to get out is a dummy for waiting so long. They should have left weeks, if not months, ago.

    BTW, the US pullout of Afghanistan is typical behavior for America. It did the same thing in the South after the Civil War when it abandoned the Reconstruction effort and left the newly freed slaves to be killed and terrorized by the KKK. The country still hasn't recovered from that. So, why would you expect America to stay in Afghanistan for the next 1,357 years?

    This is a disingenuous spin. She was obviously laughing because she couldn't answer all their questions at the same time. I don't think nitpicking is going to win over new voters but hey what do I know. It seemed to work well against Trump.

    We may not like her, but Biden is impossible. And so is Milley.

    "General Miley stood the military down and engaged it with CRT discussions in the exact months when it should have been planning the evacuation of Americans and allies from Afghanistan. This group can’t explain why US intelligence was sure there was a Capitol ‘insurrection’ and completely sure there would not be a Taliban insurrection. They can’t explain what’s happening or what’s coming next.”

    Look at you fawning over a total ******* of a person.

    • She blew her way to the top... literally.
    • People that work for her hate her. I know some of them personally that are Leftists and can't stand her from their time with her in Sacramento.
    • She got less than 1% of the vote in the primaries. Her key qualifications have nothing to do with merit.
    • She has treated minorities terribly in California.
    • She has no executive leadership experience to speak of... let's take her fine work at the border. Total fail job.

    You're welcome.

    AKA they intend to bring MILLIONS of replace-u-and-i-gees to America. See, I knew this was happening. Been saying it all week. It should now be crystal clear that the way this withdraw happened was intentional. Pres Biden himself said today that "we have a long way to go" referring to evacuations after authorizing the first wave of funding for them $500 million now but that will increase dramatically in coming weeks/months. This Administration knew this would happen, we know they knew it would happen, we know they were explicitly warned by people who knew this would happen, and yet...

    This from a Trumper. Trumpers go beyond just being disliked, they actively cultivate it.

    With your extreme opinions about forcible vaccination and locking people up for it and confiscating people's children I would be careful casting those stones.

    You know, it's one thing to refuse to help out a neighbor whose house just burned down, quite something else when you set the fire.

    We didn't set anything. We spent a decade trying to teach them how to fight fires and when the call came they gave up. Plus we didn't invent the cause at the core of this problem: radical Islam. This is Muslim tribal **** that not only predates America but almost every country there is! They need to deal with it. Don't want to fight? Fine, go wallahuaoolakcbarrr as the new regime commands.

    You're the only one around here I've heard Express an opinion like that as remotely extreme.

    That's an accomplishment I suppose and I'm talking about the entire formum not just one side.

    There is so many reasons not to like Harris that we are bound to miss a few. :smile:

    The people who work for her must be whores since they continue to stay with her even though they claim to hate her.

    So, why didn't the wonderful Governor commute their sentences or pardon them? If you know that the guys are innocent you could become a hero by getting them released from prison.
