americans being, quote, stranded in afghanistan. take a listen to her response. i think it s irresponsible to say americans are stranded. they are not. we are committed to bringing americans who want to come home, home. we are in touch with them via phone, via text, via email, via any way that we can possibly reach americans to get them home if they want to return home. i m just calling you out for saying that we are stranding americans in afghanistan when we have been very clear that we are not leaving americans who want to return home. we are going to bring them home. to be clear, the white house, the national security council, the state department, the pentagon, all the troops over there, they are working day and night to get americans out. and we shouldn t pretend that they aren t. but that said, there are also no doubt americans in afghanistan, i know for a fact, who feel as though they have been stranded, at least as of right now. so, i don t understand the point she s making
control my destiny, my future and my life. and that s the point she s making. and beyond the celebrity aspect of this and the interest that we might have in her private life, there is this issue of conservatorships. 1.5 million americans not being able to control their own finances and their own health decisions is a lot of americans. how do these conservatorships work? so, what happens is, is that you have to, as an adult, be competent to deal with and manage your affairs. and, as a result of that, if there is some competency issue, whether it be because you re old or you have mental health maladies, whether it is that you have drug or other substance abuse issues and you have assets in many ways it s for your own good. the court sets up a system that allows people to come and petition. who are those people? family members, others who are close to you to say, hey, something is amiss here, let me step in and let me otherwise have control over something as basic as food and shelter
and u.s.-led forces. now, that s all factual, right? this is a factual recitation of things happening in the international court. the implication in the question is, how do we move to a system in which there is actually in a global sense, equal justice under the law? that it is not just ruled by the powerful, of course, who will not investigate their own government s crimes but some kind of investigative body that investigate crimes with no fear of favor of powerful and less powerful countries alike. that s the point she s making. based on the facts before the icc. then the congresswoman tweeted out her exchange with secretary blinken adding, we have seen unthinkable atrocities, committed by hamas, israel, the taliban. they called on the congresswoman to quote, clarify her words, placing the u.s. and israel in the same category as hamas and the taliban to which she
should not be in the position of censoring the position, just like television and radio does not sensor the speech. we also saw that too where biden rob: right, she s making the point, hey f president trump can put things up and democrats think are fake, although we don t really know what s going on with the binds, that s the point she s making. that s true, again, you know, what if facebook were to cave here and give her what she wants to what would that look like? it s a slippery slope, people are accusing facebook of censorship, now we are really going to have censorship, a whole new level is facebook is going the say, you re right, we will do what you re asking here and we will get in the political game. rob if elizabeth warren wins nomination, you don t think she will run ads against the president? she will do it on facebook and every other social media
the law. they can obviously go and change the laws. to enforce for some not for others. here s the thing. she did commit a crime in the sense she came in this country illegally. used a fake visa. hasn t become a citizen in the 18 years she s here. the point she s making. why is that okay for anyone. when you use the word discretion. that by definition means some people are going to get the good end of the stick. reality is francesca has been a part of this nation for 18 years. she is part of our work force. for the last 18 years of congress have yet to do their job by securing a couple immigration form package with supposedly francesca would have benefitted from. the fact we have millions of
