Afghanistan Crisis
House GOP: Biden Should Resign Over Afghanistan Mess
The House of Representatives Freedom Caucus said that President Joe Biden should resign. The President must go after botching the evacuation of US forces and civilians from Kabul. This left many US troops dead and stranded hundreds of Americans in Afghanistan.

Biden Should Resign
The President decided to fully withdraw from Afghanistan by August 31 after a 20-year military presence in the country. During the evacuation phase, a suicide bomber managed to claim the lives of 13 US troops and 170 Afghans.
Despite the setback, Biden stuck with the August 31 timetable. Consequently, the last US military flight left Kabul Monday night, less than a day before the deadline. Left behind in Afghanistan were around 250 Americans who had no access to the airport.
As a result of the disastrous evacuation, House Republicans said that Biden should resign and own up to his shortcomings. In addition, Representative Mike Gallagher (R-WI) filed a bill to address the unresolved issues in Afghanistan.
Gallagher Files Bill, Democrats Reject It
Gallagher’s bill, filed Monday, demanded the administration to further act on continuing the evacuation and limiting the Taliban. It contains five measures.
First, the bill demands that the Biden administration produce a plan to bring stranded Americans home. Second, Gallagher’s bill will request a full accounting of all equipment the US left behind.
Third, the bill requires transparency on any agreements with the Taliban. Fourth, establish that Congress will not recognize the Taliban as the official government of Afghanistan. Finally, the bill aims to ban funding or relief efforts to the Taliban.
However, during a floor vote Tuesday, House Democrats managed to block the legislation. Gallagher expressed his frustration in not getting the support his legislation needed.
“House Democrats have had not one, but two opportunities to join House Republicans in supporting legislation to hold this administration accountable and do whatever is necessary to save lives.
Both times, they declined to join our efforts to do so. This is unacceptable,” he said. “American lives are on the line and we have a moral obligation to do everything we can to get them home. Congress cannot sit on the sidelines while hundreds of our fellow citizens have been left behind enemy lines,” he added.
House Republicans Blast Democrat Partisanship
Meanwhile, the House Republican leadership blasted Democrats for their display of partisanship. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) asked what the administration is doing about the Americans left behind.
“What is the plan to bring Americans home safely? Not some, but every single American? What about the list of the weaponry that has been left behind, accounting for that? We now have Americans stuck in Afghanistan, the Taliban in charge with more weaponry than they've ever had in the past, and a border that is open,” he added.
In addition, Gallagher called out Democrats for their apathy. He found it ironic that his bill is exactly what the Democrats publicly asked for. “This is exactly what many Democrats said they wanted.
They pushed back on the administration. They begged and pleaded the president to abandon the Taliban's surrender date,” he said. “But when the moment of truth came on the House floor, they all voted against it so as not to jeopardize the passage of Bernie Sanders' budget,” he added.
Pelosi Missing During the Proceedings
Aside from saying that Biden should resign, Republicans also called out House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for being absent during the vote.
She was also missing in action when the House called for a moment of silence for the 13 fallen service members. “Where is Nancy Pelosi?” Representative Jim Banks (R-IN) asked. “Why isn't she here? Each and every one of us changed our plans so that we could be here today.”
In addition to Biden, the conservative Freedom Caucus also formally called for the resignation of Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
They want all three to resign due to an “overwhelming failure” of leadership. “Mr. President, if you have an ounce of respect for your 50 years of service to this nation, and to move forward toward healing, to unite our nation, to get past this nightmare that you've created, then by God, man, resign,” said Representative Clay Higgins (R-LA).

Oh shut the hell up GOP!!! Conservatives are sick of hearing your cowardly bullshit!! You did nothing when this demented moron was illegally placed in the White House last election. You did nothing will President Trump was constantly attacked for his entire term and actually helped with so much of stopping him from implementing his America First agenda. All conservatives need to focus on now is to vote against these traitors in the primaries and get all of the fake conservatives out and elect some patriotic citizens with a spine to fight. Smarten up people! Do not give a dime to the RNC or these lying weak ass politicians that are only starting to talk tough now since next year is an election year.
Yes! That preverted corrupt imbecile should resign or be impeached! And his corrupt regime too!
Biden needs to be dead along with his evil regime. They are all traitors and I have no doubt that biden got paid off by the Taliban because this is how he operates.
Hang all traitors, I’ll furnish the rope
I strongly agree with both BBA and TIMOTHY. The PROBLEM goes so deeply here that while I long for this retched POS to be out of our white house, I know that having Harris move into position is not going to SAVE AMERICA from the death that the democratic party has been planning for over the past 50+ years!
In reality I think a DEEP CLEANING of both demoncrats and GOP needs to happen. These people are traders to America, our Constitution, Bill of Rights, our freedom and values.
At 63, I don’t want to have to go to war. But, I find myself at a sincere loss as to what and how AMERICAN CITIZENS who love AMERICA are supposed to reclaim our beloved country and stop this mess from going any farther into the socialized future that has been implemented here.
Biden is the most failed president in my lifetime. He has done worse in his presidency than I could even imagined. I had very little faith that he would do anything of value. Everything that he has done has been an utter failure. He is not a leader and he It’s not qualified to be the president of this nation.
All you people just need to shut up stop your crying face reality that Biden only finished what sorry trump started if it wasn’t for trump making deals with taliban the deaths of our soldiers wouldn’t of happened he told the taliban president that we would get them out by a certain time that a way you can take control of Afghanistan even if we lose people that is why the president in Afghanistan didn’t fight to stay or they’re people just jumped back and let it happened them and trump already had it planned when they had a private meeting sounds like you all are a bunch of morons believing in everything trump did was right he’s the biggest loser as president in American history look it up you people needs to straighten up and realize that Biden did great with what mess that trump left him in at least Biden got them home as promised trump never did anything in 4 years that he promised no new insurance no finished wall nothing and you say trump is great sickening go Biden great job keep it up and we love you and support you and will vote for you again
Everything Trump did was redacted by Biden, so how could he? Trump didn’t kill 13 service members for any decision he made. So, who needs to wake up? Someone needs to shut up, Terral.
you must be some kind of stupid…biden is an embarrassment to this country Trump would NEVER allow this!!!!
Right on Anonymous.Terral Just tell me one good thing Biden has done? Well i guess you think letting thousands of illegals lots with coviod in threw the southern border and turning them loose all throughout the usa is a good thing. Giving out blank visas to Afghanistans to be brought here and provided for with our tax dollars is a good thing. Pulling out of Afghanistan with no sort of plan,leaving behind lots of military hardware, americans, and causing loss of life for not securing the perimeter at the base before the Taliban took over. And on and on i could go.
biden got NO mess terral biden IS the mess so is his so called vice president they both need to take a walk you are a mess too for thinking biden is wonderful hes not competant face reality
Biden and all his top administration should be all tried for treason and punished accordingly no questions asked. They all have the blood of 13 American soldiers and many civilians including children.
Getting out was not the problem ,the way it was done is ,I pray Gods protection over those left behind and Biden to start listening to others advice not just hearing there is a difference! and not just do what he wants anyway no matter how it is destroying our country
Well, Harris might be worse! Sleepy Joe is just a puppet without a lucid, cohesive thought. He’s just being strung along. I’m thinking Harris has a scary, evil mind & the viciousness to push her plans into action! We need to clean the slate & get it together with True GOD-fearing, Patriots who know the real history of this nation. They are the people who can & will bring this country where it once was: One Nation Under GOD, with Liberty & Justice for ALL!🙏🏼👍❤️
Why is that clown still in office, he has made a mess of this country ever since he got to the White House. He needs to go NOW and so does all them American hating dems in DC.. All I can say is Terral you really got your head up your ass. Stop watching that lying cnn and those other anti American hating news networks.
He should resign because he didnt win and isnt the legitimate President. Harris isn’t even legally wualified to be VP. And gop, you’re in on all of it, so shut up. Terrell, Trump already said what the plan was, and besides your buddy pedo joe ignored advisors because their plan wasn’t disastruous enough. Besides he’s done nothing positive. The border is a mess with over 1.2 million illegals who are testing positive, then they’re being distributed around the country. Then you have Afghanistan. Rhey had a year to watch another admin with covid and they still know nothing and dont know what to do. Eonomy is tanking, inflation on the rise, and on and on. Go take some more vaccinations. But hey, thanks for the laughs!
Terral sometimes it’s best to keep your opinions to yourself. Especially if your comments reflect your lack of education and facts. JFK was a great man but was murdered by left wing radicals such as yourself by threatening to expose the deep state and didn’t live long enough to show what kind of president he could be. The last effective and pro American people democratic president was Truman. Trump must have hurt your feelings with mean words or was it because he created an economy that actually employed people instead of buying their votes with welfare money as Biden has.
Does the name, CARLOS HATHCOCK ring a bell? Too bad he’s not still with US! FEEL ME?
@TERRAL…first of all, you clearly need to go educate yourself! China Joe pulled out of Afghanistan NOT Trump? Biden did not follow Trump’s plan to pull out in May of 2021 but rather August 2021 in the height of the fighting! Trump did NOT look as the Taliban was our friends but rather as our enemies. Trump would of NEVER close the 1st secure Airport that was able to handle this pullout in a more secure type fashion. Trump would of NEVER left American’s behind as the final plane left. Trump would of never left all our military equipment behind and if any would of been, it would of been bomb the hell out of! Trump would of never looked at his watch each time a military gold dead body of 13 was unloaded from the airplane in front of family members showing disrespect, like he had somewhere else to be! I could go on and on but to to get to work… China Joe has been in office for over 40 years and everything he has done has turned to shit! Please TERRAL, tell me and these good readers, one good thing china Joe has done for this nation without lying about it as Joe seems to be caught doing time and time again! To all you love fearing Americans out there who served this country with honer, Thank you from the bottom of our heart’s!!!! America is still the greatest country in the world!!
Joe Biden is an Idiot!!! Also, an empty suit, we know he has nothing between his ears and he sure doesn’t have the Balls to fight, a total empty suit from head to toes!!!! What does BIDEN stand for, “Biggest Idiot Democrats Ever Nominated”!!!! He needs to resign or be Impeached and I know, then we get IDIOT #2, Kamala Harris! The Democrats are determined to ruin this country!!! God help us all……
I read biden had a brain anuerism [however it’s spelled] First you have to have a brain = he doesn’t! Then a heart condition as he has NO Heart = no condition! He is NOT president only a joke to the satin worshiping idiots that tell anyone he is. He and his whole group are not fit to pick up dog-poop; anyone that voted for him or stands with him are on a straight path down to hell! They best enjoy all the evil they have done now as their furture is not going to be pleasant! Dem. or rino rep. have all set themselves on this path.
THIS COUNTRY IS IN ONE HELL OF A MESS WITH NO WAY TO FIX IT HERE WE HAVE A LOUSEY PIECE
OFSHIT CRIMENAL FOR PRESIDENT. IF HE GOES THEN WE HAVE A COMMON STREET WALKING (SELF ADMITTED)WHORE RUNNING THE COUNTRY THAT ALL SHE CAN DO IS LAUGH AT EVERYTHING,SO IF GOT RID OF BOTH THOSE SH8IT EATERS THEN WHO IS NEXT THE WORST SHIT EATER IN CONGRESS NUTTY PELOSI,
AND IF FOR SOME GOOD REAWSON SHE SH9OULD DROP DEAD GUESS WHO IS NEXT IN LINE?
SHIT EATING JERK OFF SHUMMER. IAM AFRAID THAT ONLY GOD IN HIS WISWDOME CAN GET US OUT
OF THIS TURMOILE WE ARE IN.
God help us ,when Biden makes his next decisions. We are at the point of ,one more biggie ,over the cliff we go.
Trump wasn’t any better I voted for Him I was very disappointed in him especially bringing the riot at the capitol! If he is impeach we will be worse off. He’s not in he’s right mind
he’s too old!
@ANONYMOUS #2…another idiot in waiting… Trump did not bring riot at capital or anywhere else in the country!we all know what happened during last year’s street riots! I live in Portland so I know what I am continuing seeing today! If you are disappointed it should be for your own lack of education and knowledge!
Keep after Traitor Joe. American’s worldwide and America as a country are in a much more precarious position as a result of this botched evacuation from Afghanistan. People have compared it to the evacuation of Saigon, but it’s more like the retreat by the British and French forces at Dunkirk. It does not signify the end of the war. It is in reality a retreat in an ongoing war that now will be on a much larger worldwide basis. The Taliban is not an army. It’s a terrorist organization. They are going to hit us (and our allies, if we still have any left) wherever we are. Times are about to become really rough.
From 1953 to 1964 Khrushchev was the leader of Soviet Russia, he once said “we will bury you from within”. Seems like his vision is coming true. Socialist and communistic ideas in the Democratic party are a nightmare. Have you heard of their plans for our monetary system? Anyone with savings or IRA’s will be wiped out. I’m afraid we are headed for a revolution.
