Way president Trump Bay ledies president Trump missen.

Their husbands have killed thousands of civilian Afghani people for about 20 years and have turned thousands of wives widows and have also made thousands of Afghani children orphans and now those first ladies want to send a fake humanitarian outlook to the world about US politcs

Yes, group stupidity will be real helpful!

What about Haiti?

Great move! Over due! They along with others with a comparable profile are needed and should continue to aggressively contribute!!! Why should we expect “one new President “to address immediately all of the issues that cumulatively they created modified, and or supported ? 🇺🇸.

👍Let's United 🇺🇸 not divided ➗ each other ❗🙏

Unvetted unvaccinated😡shame on you all

The big dogs create work and engagement for themselves globally!

Accepting 2000 Afghan refugees for PR, while sending away 10s of thousands of Haitian refugees.

Thanks

I’m

But they’re stopping Haitians at the border and deporting them.

Are you kidding me They all caused this crisis.

Just using them for future votes same as immigrants. Drivers licenses? No problem. Vaccine mandate, of course not. The dismantling of America in their hands. Criminals!!

Its hearing very funny😁

Will it be similar to how the Clintons helped Haiti on the earthquake relief? Bill and Killery made millions.

Team up to support the Haitians

So can they do the same for the Haitians in Del Rio, TX🤔?

And we all know what their personal gain will be or at least what they hope will happen ! Bless their hearts !!

They need to team up on a foggy day and take a helicopter ride together...

Send them to your house you feed them and let them all stay at your house

One started that stupid war and another did have the balls stop the war and another was preoccupied with Jeffrey epstien and yet another never got us in any kind of war. Only one did not make the world a more dangerous place.

Wow. We're in a pandemic with American citizens already dealing with homelessness, low wages, and food shortages.

What a bunch of bs. The global club

Let'us welcome the Haitian migrants too! They too deserve our humanity!

AprilDRyan Where is the welcome for the Haiti people?

It’s a natural passion of the top leader of the super power country “didn’t want to be the loser to much “

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Are any republicans helping with Afghans?

4 no reason, 3.) my daughter has C/p because of a med mistake) but a over140 IQ higher then our last presiden 4.) im Bi 5 .) im pagen 6.) I choose to not married ever again. To many ppl are hostil against 1 of those reason, how will thry treat anybpdy with out prejudic

Ok. Now do the Haitian and Mexican immigrants

Three weak leaders!

Z6=●○)87/□●○▪︎

Mk

don’t forget who started the war at first place. Shamelessness at its finest

It's a pity that the big powers don't help the homeless and the hopeless in their own land! 😓

How about being concerned for Americans. All of you are usless and un american. These NON Vetted afgans are here for 1 thing and 1 thing only.. TO DESTROY AMERICAN

HAITI

I just pray we all will find a great “WAY” to “STOP” fighting each other 🤦🏽‍♀️People should just turn their cheeks and follow Love ❤️ 🙏🏽

That’s all bs

Of course they are they’re behind it all…always have been.

Totally understand helping people that helped us, but the reason a lot of citizens are disgruntled is bc of the pick and choose aid given to non-citizens while daily people are struggling in our own backyard. For ex, tents in CA, Mexican children separated from parents, homeless.

I can’t believe the arrogance and sheer hate a lot of people are showing here. America invaded and occupied their country and these people were dedicated to helping America wipe out terrorists. They had bounties on their heads for doing this.

Sounds good. It's time for Leaders to send a powerful message that hatred must go.

I wish they would team up to help Americans. The homeless, veterans, those suffering and losing businesses and jobs due to Covid restrictions, those affected by hurricanes and other natural disasters. Why not help American citizens first?

What about the goat?

So… how much are they chipping in?

United against far right GOP's !

That’s well and good but what about help for the Haitians people that’s at the border of Texas and Mexico? They need help as well. I don’t understand why the United States help all other race of people and welcome them into the United States, but they send the Haitian people away

Well good for them. Will they assist with sorting the difficulties at the Mexican border now with Haitian immigrants and the back log of Natives of Americas that didn’t change much during their reigns? POTUS

Three former presidents come together regardless of their political beliefs to help other people that are in need of it, and all this comment section is full of is hate and judgement. This is why America is so divided. I wish for once we could just accept the kindness.

Good they support with their own money and quit letting working Americans pay the bill while they collect the thank you’s!!!!!!!!

Great

Bush shouldn't be on this list. He's the one who primarily ruined these people's lives...

People of class

FPWellman I'm sure the former guy will be joining the team momentarily.

All except TFG who signed the surrender agreement with the Taliban.

Do they now want a medal for that? They caused the crisis.

And the ones who were kilked by the drone?

Wow You need to see this 👇

Killers welcomes Afghan refugees. America waged war on Afghanistan & killed hundreds of thousands civilians without logistical reasons then leaves the military weapons to their enemy Taliban

Damn. The homeless veterans of the USA at a minimum, deserve the same respect. 🤦‍♂️

What happen to covid in Afghanistan did the Taliban destroy it.

Yeah that’s right welcome them in. I bet you everyone of them will get a job or benefits or both. Come to America its on the house

Border crisis, where’s crying Schumer and toilet water AOC? Where’s the transparency and honesty? What Policy Pres. Biden will enforce, that will actually help the American people and not hurt them? Is Biden going to blame Trump, when his tax plan is started? Higher than China.

Then let them take them into their own mansions and sprawling grounds.

Probably also preping them for more abuses like Racism sexism nepotism and the US is offering

Obama and Bush are one of the main reason there are so many refugees. They set a house on fire and now want to be praised for trying to put it out? Pathetic

These people were supposed to be in prison for the war and human crimes each one of them committed.

Wold biggest terrorist ORGANIZATION group Member

Yes smell running for senator or presedent

Democracy in the U.S. is like an alien society of secrets These presidents have caused harm to countless numbers of people around the world Intriguing is their ambivalence towards the plight of African Americans Somehow they are keen to assist & welcome refugees they created

Watch walking at the longest riverside in Bangladesh, jokingly i call it the beach of poor 😊😊

Obama and bush were the terrorist leaders whom killed millions of innocent civilians

Who started the war in Afghanistan?

I’ll take three of the baddest pitches they got

first off, i want to know if you listened to these girls & women and arrested these rapist men - or if they got the US gymnast treatment
