If you’re this unprofessional, you should be fired. It’s telling that you don’t criticize Trump for negotiating with terrorists and giving up our bases.

As a reminder, it was Trump and Pompeo who went behind everyone's backs and negotiated the deal with the Taliban for the US to abandon Afghanistan. They did it without input from our Afghan allies, without input from DoD et cetera. And then they gutted all of the logistics and infrastructure needed to help that transition be more orderly.

Biden should understand how this father “lost his sense.”

Jill proclaims they are a “military family.”

Yet they let a Gold Star Father get arrested. Hypocrites.

Take it up with the Speaker.

Speaker has NOTHING to do with filing criminal charges. That is up to Biden appointed US Attorney for DC.

Who cares? Do the crime, do the time.

Louder and one more time for the people blinded by party loyalty and bad news sources.

This. If you are mad at Biden about Abbey Gate, then you should be positively apoplectic about what Trump did.

This father doesn’t need your permission to feel his feelings.

But he does need permission to interrupt the SOTU, which the Capitol Police did not give, so he disregarded them and was consequently arrested.

Yes. We know what happened.

Another reason to not vote for democrats, who enjoy arresting grieving Gold Star Fathers.

Guess you’re SOL in this election then because Trump insulted a gold star father and a military widow. He also saluted a North Korean general. You may not understand how insulting that is but it’s terrible.

Trump also ducked military service with a bogus excuse. We all know he's a traitor, that much is obvious...but he's a coward too.

Louder and one more time for the people blinded by party loyalty and bad news sources.

It's pretty convenient people have forgotten this.

And they've also forgotten that Congress (not the president) is in charge at the Capitol. Johnson warned people not to heckle.

And, another reminder.....

This was BIDEN'S withdrawal. He planned it and poorly executed it. He didn't listen to his military advisors because, you know, Biden thinks he knows best.

"The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction found in a February 2023 report that the Biden administration’s “abrupt and uncoordinated” withdrawal gave locals the impression the US “was simply handing Afghanistan over to a Taliban government-in-waiting.”

A State Department report in June of that year revealed that the administration also failed to take seriously the concerns of the Afghan government at the time amid warnings that Kabul would fall if American troops left."

The U.S. military planned it, of course. The White House doesn’t micromanage details of something like this. Biden approved the recommendation. The U.S. military did their best with the f***ed up situation that Trump’s surrender to the Taliban created. There was no Afghan government and no Afghan military. It was Trump’s dumbass policy that forced us to make a hurried chaotic departure.
