The Pi Brew
We’re back at it with an all new Morning Brew. AEW officially made a huge splash this week. WWE tried to counter with the return of Brock Lesnar. Joel Embiid has agreed to a contract extension with the Sixers. The United States has withdrawn from Afghanistan and it has led to chaos. We have a lot to get to this week, so let’s get it on. It’s Brew time.

I guess not everyone’s a fan of how things went between the Eagles and Pats at joint practice:
“They were finishing plays in a way that caught the attention of some of the Patriots …”

The President Speaks
President Joe Biden’s speech defending U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan laid bare his limited ability to change events on the ground and also reflected a long-time suspicion of the Afghanistan project https://t.co/SWaLhEMVSQ

When they tell you Trump had nothing to do with it, call them on the BS
As a part of the 2020 Doha deal, Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo made an agreement with the Taliban to lift sanctions against the group and have 5,000 Taliban prisoners released in exchange for a 3-month cease-fire. Those prisoners now control Afghanistan.https://t.co/LbpsKKwewd

The video doesn’t lie
Trump says Biden should “resign in disgrace.” Here’s what he said about Afghan troop withdrawal back on June 26th:

A coward to the end
Wait a minute, now Trump’s statement from April 18, 2021, has been deleted from his website! He said, “Getting out of Afghanistan is a wonderful and positive thing to do. I planned to withdraw on May 1.” Republicans now think they can delete history to try and own the libs. pic.twitter.com/YzyJBiA3Fl

All of them are cowards
New: Republican Party has removed a page from their website bragging about Trump’s deal with the Taliban that committed Biden to withdraw 5,000 US troops from Afghanistan — and led to the fall of Kabul today.

Everyone I’ve talked to today is in disbelief over the fall of Kabul. After our Capitol fell in January why would anyone think the Afghanistan Capitol would last the day.
