50. I suspect you would be right about that.

After all, we now know that TFG's administration deliberately screwed up the visa approval process (or whatever you call it) for Afghans who knew they were going to need to get out when the Americans left. They had all kinds of time to plan for this, but it looks like their only goals for the transition were:

1. Get out of Afghanistan.
2. Let as few of those brown Muslim Afghans as possible into the US.

Anyone who thinks the previous administration would have willingly given asylum to a single one of the afghans who helped us over there is as delusional as the Mango Maniac himself.
