    Yeah the same mom called into a right wing radio show and cussed out biden and called him all sorts of words after the attack. You dont think she had a bias before she met with him. Atleast he had the balls to approach someone he knew hated her and still spoke to her. Thats called leadership. Its funny. Biden was checking his watch because there was a CAT 4 hurricane hitting LA and he had to be briefed at the FEMA center. Its called being president and being on a tight schedule

    Trumpers forget that Trump laughed and mocked the families of the 4 dead soliders that died in Niger but now magically they all pretend they are so pro military LOL. Trump turds forget that Trump was literally president for 4 years and has a trackrecord.

    Biden and leadership doesn't belong in the same sentence, I can't take you seriously.

    Yeah pulling troops from a failing forever war isn't leadership lol. Sending mean tweets and spinning conspiracies and raising hundreds of millions of dollars spinning lies Is true leadership

    Biden is not acting very presidential when he’s checking his watch as dead soldiers are unloaded. Also, it’s stupid to continually bring up your son when talking to the families. Biden’s son didn’t even die in combat so what is the point? Yes, you know what it’s like to lose a child but not by suicide bomb. You should only be talking about the families’ children when you are addressing their loss. They don’t want to hear about your son. I voted for Biden but these criticisms are warranted.

    if it’s true they left behind service dogs, then that is shameful. I don’t understand how it could happen and makes me mad.

    Its widely told that he got cancer because he was exposed to harmful chemicals in Iraq when he was in deployment. If you read Obamas book he mentions this as one of the main resson why biden was anti Afghanistan bcz he blamed war for his sons cancer. It's obviously relatable because biden made the decision he made so other parents won't suffer from his pain. One of the main things they teach you in counseling is being able to relate to the subject and sharing their pain. What are you talking have you been to counseling ?!

    The same mom also yelled out loud as biden was leaving that he should go to hell and trump wouldn't have done this. I feel sorry for her as she lost a son but have some fkin respect. Maga followers are infested with hate and there's nothing biden could've said that would've changed her mind. Keep fooling yourself

    this has already been debunked. all military dogs were brought home. there were dogs from a rescue group who were left behind.

    also, did you criticize trump for saying POWs are not war heros b/c they were captured? i bet you didnt.

    Pentagon debunks reports claiming US abandoned dozens of military service dogs in Kabul

    The Pentagon shot down reports Tuesday that the U.S. military had abandoned dozens of military service dogs in Kabul while conducting its final withdrawal from Afghanistan on Monday.

    "The U.S. priority mission was the evacuation of U.S. citizens, SIV, and vulnerable Afghans. However, to correct erroneous reports, the U.S. military did not leave any dogs in cages at Hamid Karzai International Airport, to include the reported 'military working dogs,'" a Defense Department spokesman told the Washington Examiner. "Photos circulating online were animals under the care of the Kabul Small Animal Rescue, not dogs under the care of the U.S. military. Despite an ongoing complicated and dangerous retrograde mission, U.S. forces went to great lengths to assist the Kabul Small Animal Rescue as much as possible."

    It is wrong, that's why I criticized it. If DJT did the same thing, then shame on him too. But Trump aint the Prez right now is he?? Welcome to present man.

    Trump dumped on vets but now it's open season with a president who actually had family members who served.

    Whatever... He'll take lumps because he's in charge. At this low point, I'll give him credit if we don't hear about Afghanistan a year or two from now.

    Terrible situation

    Seriously blaming the mom? Biden put her son in a position to get needlessly killed. She had every right to speak her mind.

    where did you criticize trump insulting POWs and gold star mothers? can you link to any posts you have where you were critical of trump for that? id really like to see your take on it.

    what do you mean by "if". are you saying that youre not sure that trump actually insulted POWs and gold star mothers?

    im very much in the present. im seeing a bunch of trumpers who had no problem with trump insulting the military and their families now gleefully posting about how biden is disrespecting the military.

    Trump's reign of terror was really bad. In fact, it was so bad that he actually ignited an amateur crowd to attempt a coup. So, it can get much worse, not that it's really bad now. Nothing but exaggerated rhetoric from the haters. You'll get your chance at the polls. This is not an impeachable deal no matter how much Marjorie screams at the top of her lungs that he should be impeached lol.

    No son, you are just trying to deflect Biden's colossal errors by looking backwards to a previous administration, it's quite pathetic actually.
