Unemployment is on the rise, recession indicators all over, inflation remains a massive concern and the democrats are funding terrorists during escalating global tensions. This is, without a doubt, the worst administration in US history. It's not even close.Is that bad? That seems bad.....
We have a vegetable being guided by assholes using a retard for communications. It isn't going to get better before November.
Didn't you excuse biden leaving billions in military weapons and equipment to the taliban in in failed Afghanistan draw down? I'd be surprised if you cared about this period with that in mind, regardless of how much evidence is laid out in front of you.I think I’ll wait for a more credible source on this…
Those networks who insisted for months that Biden was "sharp as a tack" will no doubt rush to bring you this news.I think I’ll wait for a more credible source on this…
Judicial Watch is hardly a beacon of truth…Those networks who insisted for months that Biden was "sharp as a tack" will no doubt rush to bring you this news.
This "report" is put together by Judicial Watch?
Grain of salt taken.
Neither is a single source that claimed joe biden wasn't a vegetable and was capable of leading this country.Judicial Watch is hardly a beacon of truth…
Judicial Watch is hardly a beacon of truth…
And then what?I think I’ll wait for a more credible source on this…
There is very little, if any, accountability in our government unfortunately.And then what?
Suppose any or all of it is true. Some here would have you believe Biden wrote the checks himself but of course that's not true. For me the question would be whether heads would roll in the offices that were to blame. It's all about accountability. If those in charge don't handle such serious mistakes with appropriate discipline, then they should be held accountable themselves.
It would hardly be surprising. The Taliban is the govt in Afghanistan so they're going to have a finger in every pie...it's the cost of "doing business" even if that business is humanitarian aid. You can accept that or cut off all aid to every group working there.I think I’ll wait for a more credible source on this…

Depends on the good that's being done otherwise. If the groups there are making lives better, that's well worth less than a dollar of my money over the years where this occurred.If that's the choice, do you choose to borrow money on the backs of the American taxpayers so that the Taliban can reap millions?
Or not?

The head of the U.S. government watchdog for the war in Afghanistan said Wednesday that the U.S. may have provided billions in taxpayer dollars to the Taliban and Afghan terror groups since the withdrawal of American troops, but even he doesn’t know the full extent of the problem.
"Unfortunately, as I sit here today, I cannot assure you we are not now funding the Taliban," special inspector general for Afghan reconstruction, John Sopko, said at a House Oversight Committee hearing. “Nor can I assure you the Taliban are not diverting it from the intended recipients, which are the Afghan people.”
The special inspector general for Afghan reconstruction, known as SIGAR, was formed in 2008 to monitor the billions of dollars the U.S. was spending in the war against the Taliban.
Sopko told the lawmakers that the State Department’s and the U.S. Agency for International Development’s refusal to provide information to SIGAR — despite what he says is their legal obligation to do so — is making it difficult for the agency to carry out its congressionally mandated oversight role over the aid money still going to Afghanistan.
Sopko said the U.S. has provided or made available to the Afghan people more than $8 billion since the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. troops in August 2021. He asked the lawmakers to help SIGAR get information from the State Department and USAID, which administers civilian foreign aid and receives guidance from the secretary of state.
“We need your support to end their obfuscation and delay," Sopko said. "And I’m sure my fellow inspectors general would agree we cannot abide by a situation in which agencies are allowed to pick and choose what information an IG may receive, who an IG may interview, or what an IG may report on.”
A spokesperson said the State Department "stopped providing assistance for the purpose of the reconstruction of Afghanistan" after the Taliban takeover in 2021.
"We have raised questions related to SIGAR’s jurisdiction with respect to activities after August 2021. Those questions remain unresolved," the spokesperson said.
Article is dated April 2023, so this has been known.
Suspect its just being brought up to try to generate the fake outrage the GOP loves because Harris has them scared. But this oversight was put in place in 2008.
I am sure its 100000% coincidence the article only goes back to 2021, the year Biden took office,
239 Million? Is that all? Most of us have that in our couch cushions..
You mean the lying Liars who Lie? Like Torbee? Yeah I'm sure it's gonna lead the 6'oclock newsThose networks who insisted for months that Biden was "sharp as a tack" will no doubt rush to bring you this news.

While I agree that Biden most likely didn’t write the checks and someone else should be held more responsible. He still shares some of the blame. He is the guy that is responsible for putting people in place to hire certain people.And then what?
Suppose any or all of it is true. Some here would have you believe Biden wrote the checks himself but of course that's not true. For me the question would be whether heads would roll in the offices that were to blame. It's all about accountability.

How do you figure it’s desperation to point out the incompetence of handing the Taliban money for years after we’ve left Afghanistan, and the acting like oversight of the billions spent (while we just eclipsed 2 trillion on this year’s debt) can just be ignored?Rs are getting desperate.
You're posting articles from over a year ago. That's absolutely desperate.How do you figure it’s desperation to point out the incompetence of handing the Taliban money for years after we’ve left Afghanistan, and the acting like oversight of the billions spent (while we just eclipsed 2 trillion on this year’s debt) can just be ignored?
If you think it’s such a good idea, put it on your credit card.
It’s hasn’t stopped!You're posting articles from over a year ago. That's absolutely desperate.
I'm not particularly happy no.Man, I'd be absolutely pissed if I gave away a portion of my youth to go fight in the sandbox only to have our withdrawal plans involve leaving roughly half a billion dollars in supplies and 350 million to keep.it operational with.
Can't imagine there are to many OIF/OEF guys that are happy with the Biden administration right now.
