Man confronts NBC News correspondent Shaquille Brewster on live TV during Ida coverage





So, anyone want to guess what "Report Accurately" meant to that guy who went after Brewster?

LOLOLOL...look at that idiot. He probably got triggered the moment he saw a black man working as a reporter.

Where are these goofballs coming from?

Got another one for you WBE and WestPhillyPunisher, I believe this crazed lunatic is in your neck of the woods.

Yeah, the county that nutbag hails from is some sixty miles northwest of Philly, close enough to be part of our media market I do believe. If a Democrat even hinted at what Lynch said aloud, Qpublicans would be calling for his arrest.

And the general giving the briefing on CNN. of course we will be back. We will be working with the government of Afghanistan and the Taliban (As if they are not one in the same) to bring them home. Then he wanted to note that several wanted to stay behind for different reasons.

Ill believe this when I see it.

Many are dual Afghani/American citizens.

But not all. There are Americans he left behind and are trusting the Taliban will let them out at a later date. That is what gets me. Even the Dual Citizens are pretty much there for life or for a very very long time.

Trusting the Taliban is a fool’s errand. They should’ve booked when they had the chance. Maybe I’m wrong, but I compare them to people who choose to ignore evacuation orders when a hurricane is barreling down on them, then beg for help after they’re trapped and can’t escape.

I do feel for anyone who stayed because they married a local and were worried that they might not both get out.

Yeah, I can grasp that. This is going to be a mess for quite some time to come.

But we can get a cool Chuck Norris movie out of it.

Sorry. Too soon?

Some would say too soon. But I say 3 hours too late!

Secretary of State: "Mister President! Not everyone got out of Kabul! What are we going to do!?"

*Oval Office chair slowly turns around ... revealing the POTUS in rugged jeans and a white shirt, cowboy hat, face in covered in shadow*

Shadowy figure: "I will get them out."

*The man leans forward into the light .. uncovering a stern looking President Chuck Norris with steepled hands*

"All of them."

Movie voiceover guy: "Coming soon to theaters near you ..."

Nah, it will have to be a new Rambo movie (to make up for how bad the last one was).

"Last time, he fought with them. This time, he will TAKE THEM ALL OUT."

Thanks Babyblob, this isn't is larger than any political party. This is about a core belief of our nation, never leaving another behind. Yes there have been times when it's been impossible because we've been under attack forced to retreat...but this isn't that. So worried about their fate...how they must feel.

Probably an Argo about a specific success.
