This is what the article said. What he posted is what some Repbublican idiot was quoted as saying.

A number of congressional Republicans are criticizing President Joe Biden's handling of the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan amid desperate scenes of Afghans scrambling to get on airplanes out of the country.

Yet the decision to leave the country was originally negotiated under President Donald Trump and allowed the Taliban to strengthen their position against the US-backed government — a circumstance most Republicans skirted around in their criticism.

You will never climb out of being enslaved to the Democratic Party. Trump did it….. feel better?

Big Girl.....you seem to suggest Republicans did not want to leave Afghanistan. Trump did set up the deal. If Biden didn't like the deal, he could of renegotiated.....or hell, he could of did the opposite like he does with all other Trump policies.....but he didn't.  The intelligence was faulty and the method was faulty.  I'm no military expert, but maybe they should of got the citizens and Afgan's out BEFORE the military.......

First of all, this fiasco is 100% owned by Joebama.  The President, Vice President and Press secretary are all on vacation while this disaster was happening.  If this was happening while Trump was president, can you imagine the field day the press would have?!

I saw him say this last night on TV:  From the article:  "“I told him (Taliban leader) up front, I said, “Look, up front, before we start, let me just tell you right now that if anything bad happens to Americans or anybody else or if you ever come over to our land, we will hit you with a force that no country has ever been hit with before, a force so great you won’t even believe it,’” Trump said.  "If anything bad happens to Americans or anybody else we will hit you w/ a force that no country has ever been hit w/ before. A force so great you won't even believe it. And your village, and we know where it is, and I named it, will be the first one.""  You can believe Joebama NEVER said anything like this!!

When one leads from behind, also like yobama did, with an America last philosophy, like yobama did also, then nothing good comes of it.

"Revenge as a strategy" is just a quote I heard someone say.  Too focused on making orange man look bad.

So biden loads up the Taliban with billions in weaponry and other military gear, and obama loaded up the Iranians with pallets of cold hard cash.  The last two Dim potus are true idiots.  Guess they learned from each other.

From the article:

Republican Alabama Sen. Tommy Tubervile slammed members of the left-wing "Squad" for being "closed-mouthed" about protecting women in Afghanistan after the Taliban took control of the country. 

"I have not heard one word from all of these women in ‘The Squad’ in Congress saying anything about protecting the women of Afghanistan. You know, they’re closed-mouthed right now. It doesn’t fill their narrative. People ought to be sick of this. They really should be. But we’ll work through this," Tuberville said Tuesday during a radio interview on "The Jeff Poor Show."

Biden admits what many of us already knew, he's not capable of doing this job.  The only folks happier than the fools that voted for him that he's President are the Taliban.

 

From the article:

Matters continue to get worse for President Biden as critics on both sides of the aisle panned the comments he made to ABC's George Stephanopoulos about his administration's turbulent Afghan withdrawal. 

Just moments after Biden walked away from the White House podium without taking questions following an address focused on the coronavirus, ABC News released clips from the sitdown taped Wednesday afternoon and more of the interview aired on "World News Tonight."

Stephanopoulos pressed Biden if he thought the withdrawal could have been "handled better in any way."

"No. I don’t think it could’ve been handled in a way that- we’re going to go back in hindsight and look but the idea that somehow there was a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing, I don’t know how that happens," Biden said.

"So for you, that was always priced in the decision?" Stephanopoulos followed.

"Yes," Biden answered

"This is a presidency-defining clip. And it’s really bad," Commentary associate editor Noah Rothman reacted.

"This is such a slap in the face to the thousands of Americans still in Afghanistan. He had no plan, he has no urgency, and he won’t take responsibility. #Shameful," former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley wrote.

Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the mouth.

From the article:

Staff Sgt. William Bee, who was one of the first Marines to deploy to the country after Sept. 11, 2001, told Fox News Wednesday evening that his wife ordered him to stop watching so much news coverage after he grew irate over some of the developments.

"It wasn't too much trouble getting in there," Bee said. "So why was it such a problem getting everybody out?"

Bee, who nearly died more than once in Afghanistan and was photographed ducking for cover as a Taliban sniper’s bullet exploded on a stone wall inches from his head in 2008, said it was ludicrous to pull out the way U.S. forces did and that a private first class earning one-tenth of what the Joint Chiefs of Staff are paid could have come up with a better solution.

"We pay the Joint Chiefs $16,000 a month; we pay a PFC $1,600 a month, and I guarantee you, if I ask a PFC, hey put your crayons down, if you let me know a good way to get everybody out of Afghanistan. And he could have came up with a better program," he said.

You know it's bad when they go to a clinton political hack like Steppy-stephanopoulos to interview Joebama about the fiasco.  It was never going to be hard hitting interview!  You know, like constantly interrupting him and trying to make himn look as sorry as he really is.  But wait -- he got 80 Million votes!

Lmbo, if you just came awake from a 5 year coma, you’d think what this Marine said was ludicrous, but man, he nailed it.  The 8 years Obama was president has left us with a “Woke” Military leadership that has sucked up to these Socialists.  They’re more concerned about indoctrinating our troops with CRT than preparing for war.  More concerned about licking the Far Left politicians shoes than taking care of America.  Imo, their allegiance is more to the Dem Party than the Constitution they’ve sworn to protect.  God Save America.

Remember Obama fired all the generals who wouldn't submit to the BS.

C'mon man that was 4 or 5 days ago.

    • This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up   I wish the Ohio AG much success...from the article: Ohio’s Republican Attorney General is pushing back against critics after warning that anti-Israel protesters wearing masks are facing potential prison time due to a little known state law. "The First Amendment protects you and saying whatever it is you have to say. Even hateful things are protected by the First Amendment," Ohio AG Dave Yost told Fox News Digital this week. "The First Amendment, though, was always designed to be a shield against the government. It's not a sword against your fellow students and they have rights too. Your First Amendment rights are limited by their right to be able to go to school, use the library, get the value of their education and the tuition that they paid for." In a letter sent on Monday, Yost warned university presidents of a historic state law that could mean masked anti-Israel demonstrators on college campuses could face felony charges.  "The law is an old law," Yost told Fox News Digital. "It goes back to the 20th century, and it was originally designed to make sure that people like Ku Klux Klan were held accountable, that, of course, the reason that the Ku Klux Klan wore hoods and masks over their faces is so that they couldn't be identified because they were committing crimes. So the General Assembly in Ohio said, okay, you can wear a mask, you can wear a hood, that's fine. But if you commit a crime with two or more other people, while you are masking yourself, we're going to see that as a heightened kind of crime, a worse kind of thing, because you're consciously doing this and trying to hide your identity because you know you're doing something wrong."
    • You keep pointing at the fact that Biden got so many votes as proof of cheating, when it’s actually proof of something else… Trump motivates people to get off of the couch, register, and vote for ANYBODY BUT TRUMP.  And instead of looking in the mirror and recognizing that the problem is you (the person who nominates a candidate that most people HATE) you blame the people who vote against him.    Haley pulled down 22% of the votes in the most recent Republican  primary. Those votes were cast AFTER she’d already dropped out of the race.    Trump is going to lose the fourth consecutive election cycle since he beat the even more unlikable Hillary in  2016. The Dems learned from their mistake (nominating a despised candidate in ‘16). The Rs keep nominating the same guy that most people hate and expecting different results.    Dems roll in November. 
    • Not yet, anyway. If you can't see that there has been a strong effort to create gender dysphoria amongst young folks AND try to keep it from parents in many instances, you're not paying attention. You may not care about this, but it's ridiculous to ridicule those that do. There is an agenda behind this, no doubt about it, like bullets pointed out earlier, it's just a name change...for now. And it was only very recently that girls were allowed to join the "boy scouts", they have been allowed to join certain other groups that weren't available to girls at the time. It's the frog in the slow boil.

    • I’ve stated over and over that I don’t think that the hush money trial has merit. I also don’t think that the fraud/appraisals case in NYC had merit, either. I think that the evidence in the Election Tampering case down in Georgia is pretty damning, and the case about mishandling documents down in Florida is a real problem for Trump… because that’s what intelligent people do-look at the facts make sound decisions not based on their pwecious feewings.  You know, just saying “Bah! It’s all a bunch of lies because I love him!” Or “of course he did it! I hate him.” But thought processes are something most people are incapable of. They only manage to scroll social media for posts that validate their own opinions and them off as truth or fact when they are just outright lies… but they make the re-poster feel good inside so he believes them without question.    Every time I soundly refute the  idea that trump was good for the economy, y’all yell “but COVID!” His tax cuts provided a short term bubble in the economy by way of an exploding deficit and debt that our grandkids will still be paying interest upon 50 years from now even prior to COVID.  It’s like when Mama takes over the family finances, maxes out all of the credit cards and drives the family into bankruptcy.  Y’all would be the spoiled brat, immature and stupid children that spout off “things were so much better when Mom was handling the finances! We had everything we wanted! Put her back in charge!” Anybody that says “Trump was good for the economy” is just letting they world known that they don’t understand micro/macro economics or the effects of rising interest rates have on a debt the size of ours.    What none of you seem to realize is that the problems were facing today (interest rates and inflation) would be occurring even if Trump were in office because his fiscal policies are more flawed than either conservatives or liberals.    Libs: we should raise taxes on the rich and spend more! Conservatives: We should cut taxes on everybody but cut spending!   Trump: We’re gonna cut taxes and spend more!    It’s a recipe for pure disaster. He’s literally the guy who says “we’re gonna buy high, sell low, and make it up in volume!”
