Congressional Democrats aren't sparing a president from their own party of criticism over the chaotic U.S. evacuation of Afghanistan as the Taliban seized control of the country and images of fleeing Afghans at Kabul's airport surfaced worldwide.
“There’s no way to hide it. The situation in Afghanistan is another shame on this admin. Withdrawal was never going to be easy but it didn’t need to come to this,” Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, a Texas Democrat and a Foreign Affairs Committee member, tweeted on Sunday. “The US must do everything in its power to help our partners & allies to safety & protect our national security.”
The Texas Democrat, first elected in 2016, was not alone in his criticism of President Joe Biden's administration on the Afghanistan U.S. troop withdrawal. The move ends a 20-year stay in Afghanistan following the Sept. 11 attacks.
Rep. Seth Moulton, a Massachusetts Democrat and a member of the Armed Services Committee, released a statement on Sunday ripping the administration over its evacuation efforts in Afghanistan.
“To say that today is anything short of a disaster would be dishonest," said Moulton, a retired Marine Corps officer who served four tours of duty in Iraq. "Worse, it was avoidable. The time to debate whether we stay in Afghanistan has passed, but there is still time to debate how we manage our retreat. For months, I have been calling on the Administration to evacuate our allies immediately - not to wait for paperwork, for shaky agreements with third countries, or for time to make it look more ‘orderly.'"
Fellow Armed Services Committee member Rep. Ruben Gallego, an Arizona Democrat, went on a Twitter rant calling for transportation to move Afghan refugees out of the country.

My wife looked at those photos and in seconds she commented about the lack of women or very few women in the photos.
The guy who shot osama wants Milley to resign
Biden was Vice President for two terms of Afghan occupation.
He’s just as guilty as the others.....he cannot avoid the blame.
Agree!
Look at El Paso....a heavy Dem city....with Ft Bliss.
Between family service members and contract workers, over there, Reps are likely getting earfuls. Rightly so.

I am now living for the moment that I can somehow work this into a sentence.
“Put To Bed With A Shovel”
That is one of my favorites - it starts out slow and innocent and then punches hard right at the end.

You should write a vanity post titled “It is Time for America to Put the Biden Regime to Bed with a Shovel”.
With everything Biden has done in the last six months the post would practically write itself.
It reminds me of my much missed dad, who would always threaten to write STUPID [or whatever applied, in the given situation] on a shovel and hit me with it.
Hillbillies talk colorful.
:D
Biden is an incompetent buffoon. He and Harris OWN THIS DEBACLE OF STUPIDITY. 5 to 7 thousand Taliban prisoners set free at Bagram AFB yesterday. Now thousands of Afghans will be raped and killed. I spent a year there as a US Army Infantryman - all for nothing and we’ll just have to fight these scum again. Biden is such a moron he makes Jimmy Carter look like a genius. Makes me very angry at these idiots.
The Trump “Bat Signal” is great!
LOL! I know, I saw it on some guys Facebook page and stole it! I’m posting it everywhere, even leftist sites. lol lol
I am preparing now to see the propaganda media use this exaggerated female presence picture and maybe even leave off most of the people in the back of the plane so it looks like there are lots of women being evacuated.
