Can't disagree on the transplant which was also asserted as the top post on this same conversation - https://old.reddit.com/r/SeattleWA/comments/p7rik1/uw_medicine_pulls_heart_transplant_patient_from/

Medical ethics have become a front running issue. And a frightening New World wall of post modern selectivity.

I don't like Larry Elder but this sex smear just recently cranked up and includes the usual hit job - https://www.politico.com/news/2021/08/19/elders-ex-fiancee-said-he-brandished-a-gun-at-her-506286

It is a Newsom/DNC funded hit piece.

Embassy personnel have long been evacuated. These are the subcontracted muffs who work for a paycheck; the US had a considerable workforce in Afghan and a $1.5 billion fortress embassy that was abandoned.

Nothing has ever been this bad, not Saigon, not Tehran, not Benghazi, I lived through all of them.

This is really concerning for me as I'm being treated for stage IV cancer at Harborview/UW medicine. I'm terrified that they will begin to refuse treatment to unvaccinated patients; I'm afraid the vacc will overwhelm my already compromised immune system but so far I've stayed under the radar.

Most of the Americans remaining in Afghan were government contractors and there on government payroll doing US government work.

In other words they were part of the US government workforce and would not have been in Aghanistan but for their jobs working for the government. Yeh, government needs to pay for this.

Welcome to my world, we haven't had a car since 2003.

It is so much worse.

Hoisted from the comments elsewhere:

According to various officials, there are 11,000 to 15,000 Americans in Afghanistan. Several days into the airlift, with all our C-17's and KC-135's in operation, we only managed to fly out 165 Americans in a single day. At that rate it would take 66 to 90 days to evacuate all the Americans, which would be Oct 23 to November 16th. The Taliban will shut the operation down long before then, probably by Sept 11th. Many of those Americans will simply disappear.

After the fall of Saigon, American's spent decades wondering if Nixon and Ford left POW's behind. Biden will be accurately blamed for willfully abandoning American civilians on the battlefield, all because he wanted some zinger lines for a speech. He will be condemned now, he will be condemned tomorrow, and he will be condemned forever. Twenty years from now people will still talk about Americans who were abandoned and might still be living as a captive in some village outside Herat or Kandahar.

So actually we don't know where it came from. Because somehow it seems to be missing a whole lot of original sourcing.

I assume you posted it as an example of US govt. directives? I am in doubt of this entire thing.

Ok, where did Osinttechnical get it? not sourced on his twitter.

ahmygot, how do these people not grasp that they have to get off the fucking runway so the planes can land??

I've seen a lot of similar footage over the last 4 days and I can't wrap my head around it.

I know. The airport is utter chaos, there looks to be thousands of people on the ground. Fiasco doesn't even touch this madness.

I'm assuming that their local currency was pegged to the USD.

US Treasury Freezes Billions In Afghan Reserves, Depriving Taliban Of Cash - https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-treasury-freezes-billions-afghan-reserves-depriving-taliban-cash

Also depriving the population of cash. What better way to destroy the civilian population than to hand them over to the Taliban and then turn off the money. This is a strategy from hell, if indeed there is any kind of strategy.

Where did this snippet come from? I just checked the US Afghan embassy twitter and did not see a message like this.

Why do you always post bits and pieces extracted from something else without links or context?

Stephenville is still dry isn't it? Crappiest college town ever.

Great post 👏 110% true.

Washington state just announced mandatory vax passports for access to public health services.

I was at Harborview public hospital in Seattle twice this week (including yesterday) where I received very good care and nowhere was a claim like this evident.

Kindly back this claim if you will.

Texas has a lot of downsides and I could write a book.

But if it is endless freeway off-ramp burbs you want in the DFW area, there is an infinite supply.

I don't know what you do for a living and if you can WFH, but if that were me I might migrate to the Athens tx area, somewhat more deep-southier; still real, good rainfall and great food without the never ending freeway offramp type of development. Athens TX is a nice place.

I lived a lot of my life in Texas although I am not there now. I would ask where you are now (California?) and what you're looking for. There is a whole lotta strip mall, parking lot, air conditioned drive up throwaway culture in the ever expanding DFW metroplex.

If you live in Texas your life will require a car and your life will be driving, driving, and driving somewhere all the time; always.

Save Denton (which used to be an actual town), all of the rest are exurb mini mcmansion tract home ever-pavement burbs without redemption.

.saved

I like Denton, the rest of them are somewhat shit. The DFW metroplex now stretches from Oklahoma to Waxahachie. .

That's really pretty funny, attach trump to object = hatred justified.

Too bad it's a Sunday
