Thank you Joe Biden, for giving us VP Kamala Harris.
She brings dignity to the International stage.

I'm so proud of her!

That is what they do. Short memories.

Eff them all.

Joe is doing a great job finalizing a war that never should have happened. He himself said he would not leave it for the next President to do.

Bravo, Mr President.

has temporarily succeeded in lowering Joe’s approval rating, it’ll go back up. Joe’s a likable guy and uniquely qualified and competent and Americans know this.

This opportunistic piling on at a vulnerable point is entirely expected. The only uncertainty was what the first big opportunity would be. And what the next one will be.

Singapore has a total of FIVE C-130H transport aircraft. Fully loaded they carry 94 passengers. Even if they were able to do two flights a day on the 1,200 mile journey from Kabual to Doha, Qatar. (1200 miles each way at 350 mph), that’s a full time stretch for multiple crews.

that’s less than 1,000 additional evacuees a day added capacity.

Yes, that helps, but not a whole lot. Maybe they can swing a deal with Singapore Airlines for passenger plane assistance.
