Yeah, because Trump led the charge. And certainly isn't on record telling everyone to go home, peacefully. :roll:



You're not very good at trolling. I've seen you trying it a lot lately. And failing ... a lot. lol

You're confused about the term 'trolling' ... but then that's the trendy fallback complaint when you don't agree with someone, isn't it? :shucks:

I understand that Trump belongs to the bad guys and Taliban belongs to the good guys.

I do not questioning his ban on Twitter. I'm questioning Talibans free access.

Because they are evil and dangerous too.

It’s the frenzy people find themselves getting wrapped in. They sometimes don’t see the path being taken until it’s too late. The idea of banned speech because you don’t like it is just plain wrong. If you don’t like what the person is saying confront them with intelligent conversation make an effort to find out why or just turn off the TV and go do something else.

Even European leaders spoke out against the social media bans. But here in the U.S. the mind set is to shut them up, prosecute them, ban them, send them to jail, accusations of treason, insurrection, mutiny, sedition. IMO because of that group mentality it’s going to become easier and more frequent in this country as time goes on.

If you 'understand' that then you're possibly having issues with 'unreal absolutes' or false oppositions.

It's not like they were captured on their own cell phone videos rushing the capital building, breaking in, assaulting capital police, calling for the capture or death of senators and congressmen while shouting out platitudes for Trump and waving his flag or anything. :shucks:

East Tennessee woman stays in Afghanistan to save military contract dogs

Clinton, Tennessee native Charlotte Maxwell-Jones is the director and founder of Kabul Small Animal Rescue in Kabul, Afghanistan, where she has lived for 11 years.

She said she’s staying behind until about 130 dogs, about 50 of which are military contract dogs, are safely evacuated.

Maxwell-Jones wants people to know that she is okay even though she was at the Kabul airport the day explosions killed 13 U.S. service members. She described that scene as a loud nightmare.

She said she received a visit from the Taliban on August 23 when 12 armed men warned her to leave immediately.

Yeah but Germans, especially you Easterners, were never really "us". You were the reason the rest of US had to spend decades defending your country.

Thousands of Taliban fighters are taking on resistance forces in the last province holding out against the Islamist takeover.

Reports say there have been fierce clashes around the Panjshir valley.

The resistance includes former Vice-President Amrullah Saleh, former Afghan security force members and local militias.

Both sides are claiming to have gained the upper hand.

The EU and Britain have joined the US in saying they will deal with the Taliban, but won't see them as Afghanistan's government.

The EU is planning to re-establish a diplomatic presence in Kabul.

But it said any engagement would be subject to strict conditions and would only be to support the Afghan people.

It comes as the Taliban prepares to announce who will be in its government.

UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab is visiting Pakistan amid efforts to help Britons and others leave Afghanistan.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

I don't see a real problem with a tax paying business determining their policy.
