Once upon a time the U.S. had the best diplomats in the world Now we have a bunch morons in these positions.
@BabayBackRibs
Why are you bringing up January 6th when this is about Biden administration's incompetent withdraw?
@dwaters60
If you (CONGRESS)will not execute a contempt citation against Blinken you are wasting the time of the AMERICAN PEOPLE, remember the reason why you have a job . Congress is a silly waste of time, they do not accept that this is a criminal organization , not an administration that they are dealing with.
@creativecatalyst777
10 grand is nothing to these people and neither is probation. Here's another nothing burger. No wonder these people grin, smirk, roll their eyes and mock the process and pardon each other on their way out the door. This burden is on the tax-payers who can't afford to fight.
@AndrewCox-im8cw
Don't forget to point out that the clusterf*** was also partly to Donald Trump inviting the Taliban to Camp David in 2019 and solely negotiating with them while excluding the Afghanistan government.
@DoctorWu-sq6un
DemocRats forget just how many Americans were killed and the billions of American Taxpayer's dollars wasted by Biden and Harris in Afghanistan.
@kevinjenner9502
“Righteous Strike” Milley and the retaliatory drone strike in Kabul which killed 10 civilians, including 7 children.
@NotBoringFilms
it began like this: a fat orange ordered the withdrawal right before the American people voted his smelly carcass out of office. it was akin to crapping the hotel bed and setting it on fire just before you check out, and then telling the front desk, “good luck with that!”
@jon63chevy
Jim Jordan still has not shown up for his congressional sapien. Double standards need to stop.
@jon63chevy
Trump caused Afghanistan withdrawal problems. He started this in 2020 to hurt the next president.
Vote blue 2024!

How is this supposed to lower the cost of living for me and my family?
January 20th, 2025 can't get here soon enough.
@CaptainBathsaltyCornbread
Stinking Blinken
@rollsroycenetwork1221
This is just because of the election coming up. When the election is over all these hearings will disappear.

@an.american
Everything that we, as a country, the world is currently experiencing, is all due to the desastres failures of our current administration.
A KH administration will be worse.
@an.american
The botched Afghanistan withdrawal was the beginning of the end of world peace.
@judewarner1536
The shambolic Afghan withdawal occured barely NINE months after the very UNPEACEFUL handover of power in Jan. 2021. The military geniuses in charge of the situation were those INHERITED FROM FOUR YEARS OF SHAMBOLIC TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
@CrooksandMahoney
I wonder if they mention Trump's deal with the Taliban only.
@Timejumperk9000
Need to subpoena Mike Pompeo and Trump for the withdrawal from Afghanistan. it Was them who negotiated with The Taliban without Afghanistan's Government . They released 5000 Taliban Terrorists .Trump was Supposed to Leave by May 2021 . It was them that Did That They released One from Pakistan after 20 years . Destabilization Is what Trump and Mike Pompeo did. He wanted the Taliban leaders to come to Camp David . 13 of our Soldiers are Dead because of them Research it !!!
@timmypage1223
Should be asking Trump why he would negotiate a withdrawal with the taliban and not include the Afghan government. Ask why he left so little troops that created the unsafe conditions for withdrawal.
