The title just makes me chuckle.

"Unauthorized". Who "authorizes" them?

I personally think them going over like that was dumb, because it would cause a ruckus on the ground.. but at same time can understand 2 Vets who served, now serving in Congress, going to see the conditions first hand. I'm sort of 50/50 on it really. Maybe 51/49 okay with it, since two guys that have served in the theater, should know what's in store if shit goes sideways - so it's all on them.

My big question is though. What charter company took on the job... Who took that call and was like, "sure thing! we'll drop you right off in Kabul!". OGA flight maybe? Little something else going on maybe?

Don't see how people can get ticked though.. considering we apparently sent over the head of the CIA to meet with the head of the Taliban, without anyone knowing.

Hmm.. maybe the CIA Chief was on the flight with them? (Okay, okay that might be a little conspiracy theory) - but makes ya wonder.

I am 100% for removing the 230 protections from Twitter, Facebook, etc., and ensuring that they receive the same scrutiny and standards that major News outlets are subject to.

Pretty sure the State Department or possibly Homeland Security has a say about going into places that are designated conflict zones. Mostly to get security set up. It is laughable though.

I had never heard of ivermectin so I looked up what this is all about. The CDC says they don't recommend people treat COVID with ivermectin because it hasn't been approved by the FDA to treat COVID.....and yet for the past 6+ months they have been pushing everyone to get vaccinated even though (up until a few days ago) there has been no FDA approved vaccine for COVID.

That is pretty funny.

"Don't take that non-FDA approved medication! Take THIS non-FDA approved medication! Trust us! We're scientists!"

As always, you've fallen on your face with a totally unforced error, unprompted, Dreaven. The Moderna, Pfizer and J&J vaccines were indeed FDA approved, under an Emergency Use Authorization, just not regular approval.

Do you pride yourself on being incorrect? Is that why 99.9999% of the shit that flies out of your mouth is demonstrably false bullshit?

I wouldn't mind it, just cause this would literally collapse social media and destroy it. I don't think social media has been a net positive for the country.
