Summary

Donald Trump has suspended U.S. refugee programs, canceling flights for nearly 1,660 Afghans cleared for resettlement, including families of active-duty U.S. military personnel, unaccompanied minors, and those at risk of Taliban retaliation.

This executive order leaves thousands more approved refugees in limbo.

Advocates warn the move abandons vetted allies and strains U.S. credibility.

Minority Democrats called the decision “shameful,” citing its impact on vulnerable groups and U.S. service members’ families.

    You’re not wrong. Republicans and Dems at every level had 4 years to stop this shit show and failed miserably.

        Republicans are not a monolithic entity.

        There are people like Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney and Megan McCain who are all right wing Dbags but see Trump for what he is. Aside from the tech bros like Elon Musk there are those in the business community that do not support Trump because they don’t have a seat at the table.

        They failed just as much as Biden and the Democrats did to stop this.

          Moscow Mitch fought against all bills, including from his own party just to make Dems look bad.

          So I don’t give a fuck if he sees Trump as a dbag cause that asshole did everything he could to make Trump’s return possible. For all intents and purposes, Republicans are a monolith. Fuck them.
