NYPost: Psaki claims it’s ‘irresponsible’ to say Americans ‘are stranded’ in Afghanistan
WASHINGTON — White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Monday scolded a journalist who asked her about Americans “stranded” in Afghanistan — insisting it is “irresponsible” to use that term despite numerous reports of Americans being unable to board flights out.
Biden administration officials say they don’t know how many US citizens remain in the country following last week’s Taliban takeover, but some are alerting news outlets that they cannot reach Kabul’s airport to be evacuated.

She's right. The correct term would be, "Abandoned".
Jen Psaki's education looks middling to solid. It is hard to tell with English curriculums
"...degree in English and sociology.[12] She is a member of the Chi Omega sorority. At William & Mary, Psaki was a competitive backstroke swimmer for the William & Mary Tribe athletic team for two years"
I wonder how much of an idealist she is or was. I wonder how much of a social climber she is (Chi Omega sorority). Everyone is a climber, it is just what they are willing to do. I wonder how jaded she is.
I think she is at least half Mean Girls. I cannot believe how shamelessly she lies. Did she pick it up in grade school, high school, college, sorority, and the Swamp. I cannot believe it. She is hideous.
WASHINGTON, DC – A new poll commissioned by VoteVets shows that American veterans overwhelmingly support President Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, along with all Americans.
When asked, “Do you believe it is time for America to bring troops home from Afghanistan and end the war, or do you believe we need to continue the war in Afghanistan and send more troops in to retake the country from the Taliban?” veterans support the withdrawal by a whopping 63-24 percent margin. That is in-line with findings among registered voters, who support the withdrawal by a 65-22 percent margin, according to the poll.
“Veterans know the cost of war, so it should come as no surprise that they strongly back President Biden’s decision to end the war in Afghanistan,” said Mary Kaszynski, Director of Government Relations for VoteVets. “The military achieved its security mission in Afghanistan a long time ago, when it decimated al Qaeda and brought Osama bin Laden to justice. Veterans strongly believe President Biden is right – it is time to go.”
A lot of attention has rightfully been put on the plight of translators and other Afghan allies, in recent weeks. Overall, when asked if they would welcome Afghan refugees into their own neighborhoods, Americans said they would, by a 46-37 percent margin. A majority of Democrats and Independents would support bringing Afghans into their own neighborhoods. Republicans are out of step with the majority of Americans, saying they would oppose any Afghans settling in their communities (20 percent support, 64 percent oppose).
“The heartbreaking images we’re seeing from Afghanistan have most Americans feeling a sense of responsibility to care for our Afghan allies,” said Kaszynski. “Given how Donald Trump and his radical allies in Congress and right-wing media have riled Republicans up about helping any refugee, this shouldn’t come as a shock that when it comes to doing right by our Afghan allies, Republicans are just not willing to step up in the same way other Americans are.”
The poll was performed by Public Policy Polling, from August 20-21, via landline and text. It polled 668 registered voters and 606 veterans.
Good job, you've got my vote, dear president, you're the best!!! Everyone who disagrees with me is a terrorist!!
