The father of a U.S. Marine who was killed at Afghanistan's Kabul airport in 2021 as America pulled out of the country was arrested by U.S. Capitol Police officers for disrupting the State of the Union address, authorities said Thursday night. Kareem Nikoui, was killed when a terrorist set off a suicide bomb outside the airport gates in Kabul, according to a news release from Florida Rep. Brian Mast's office, provided earlier in the day Thursday. Nikoui had been a guest of Mast's at President Joe Biden's SOTU.

During Biden’s speech, Nikoui could be heard yelling, “Abbey Gate, Abbey Gate” at approximately 10:15 p.m. ET. Abbey Gate is the entrance to Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, where a single explosive device was detonated by an ISIS-K terrorist. The blast killed 13 U.S. service members and at least 170 Afghans.

    You failed to read it the first time so I will paste it here.

    Yea, straight-up bullshit. The retreat was signed by Trump. The only orders from Biden were to remove the residual force that would have just been bait for casualties to instigate the next bloodshed.

    It’s funny that I directly talked about that bit. And of course, you decide to start attacking me with an uncivil slap fight response instead of addressing my statements.

    You need to revisit the comment and the bit of Wikipedia that you cut out of the quote below.

      they seem confident about things they are wrong about factually, and have certainly moderated based on opinion or accusing others of misinformation where they are the one who is misinformed. but I don’t see it changing.

      also your comment and mine are in violation of the rules about discussing moderation. we can whine on !modabuse

        If moderation is being used as a tool to manipulate conversation on the thread, I don’t see how people can be expected not to talk about it.

        What instance is that group on? I might have it blocked.
