From a Democrat who went to Kabul….

“ Meanwhile, a Democrat congressman, who made a controversial secret trip to Kabul, was also highly critical of the president.

Seth Moulton, a former US Marine, told New York magazine that the situation at the airport was disastrous.

"I've never seen more people cry, just salty Marines, seasoned State Department veterans, just break down in tears, talking about their work, and hugging me, and saying thank you for coming," he said.

"The thing that everybody needs to understand, even if you completely agree with the Biden administration’s decision to withdraw, the way they have handled this has been a total f****ing disaster."…..
Seth Feckin Moulton, haha.
 



I’ve no idea who he is tbh….
he's a congressman from just outside Boston.
He served two tours in Afghanistan and he won't let you hear the end of it.
He had a failed presidential bid last year.
Basically he loves the sound of his own voice and will do anything to get in the news.
That includes flying to Kabul in the midst of an evacuation crisis.
The guy has no shame.
 
I see it’s now being reported that the Pentagon are blaming Britain for the explosion that killed all the guys at the gate. Apparently they are saying that we insisted it be kept open. Even though the US military were in complete control of the airport. I think Biden and his administration have completely lost the plot…blaming allies,…..the special relationship, or the U.K. doing whatever the US wants is probably dead under this absolute disgrace of a President. He needs to resign or be committed ASAP………
 
No one will care in a month or so so no one is going to resign

Also who cares about the non existent special relationship that is entirely based upon us being their sidekick every time they decide to go to war.

Almost certainly. There is no special relationship and there shouldn’t be. We need to do what is right for the U.K. only….

Where is this reported?
 
Jesus. There's a ton of experts on right wing American politics bloviating nonsense all of a sudden.

I grew up a conservative and still think I lean that way to am extent.

However, that party/ side of the aisle have been losing their heads ever since the 08 election. As a kid growing up in it, it was hard to follow it and know these people are just (in the United States) are just angry at how their life turned out and want to take no responsibility for it.

Hindsight is 20/20 but I should have noticed it when all the "Tea Party" ish started in 2010. Then there was Trump and Q, still they have both of them. They got the crap they did on the 6th.

They're just an absolute embarrassment that don't stand for any ideals other than anger that they just spray indiscriminately in every direction.

Say one thing they don't like and it all goes down hill. I had to leave it. I might come back to vote in the primaries. But from the local politicians who are amazingly worse than their national counterparts

And their come back is always some crap about not being a real conservative or American like the point of any of this is proving that.

Got a little off topic, but yea the conservatives/right wingers who are incapable of independent thought are just an awful angry irresponsible bunch.
