    House GOP wants Afghanistan hearing to be Biden body blow

    House Republicans are hoping to dredge up one of the most damaging moments of President Biden's term in a Tuesday hearing on the 2021 withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

    Why it matters: The hearing comes as Republicans have largely abandoned their hopes of impeaching Biden just as the 2024 election heats up.

    Driving the news: Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, the head of U.S. Central Command during the withdrawal, and Gen. Mark Milley, the then-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will testify to the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

    • Republicans on the panel will try to get the retired generals on the record in order to tie the chaos of the withdrawal back to Biden and his White House officials, a GOP committee aide said.
    • The withdrawal is one of Biden's biggest vulnerabilities, the aide said, predicting the hearing will be intense.

    I have not seen any new, baseless accusations from the likes of Gym Jordan lately so I assume House weaponizers against Joe have come to understand the Smirnov arrest stuck a fork in the fabricated hoopla. All the lies and innuendo have fallen flat for a lack of actual evidence.

    Football fans will know the reference, "we're on to Cincinnati." For House Repubs, "we're on to Afghanistan."

    My New Year prediction was that this would not be a good year for Republicans. And it's going to get worse.

    The withdrawal from Afghanistan was sloppy. But what will come out of hearings like this is that it was TRUMP who signed the surrender to the Taliban, and then took NO steps to prepare for withdrawal. Because those are the facts.

    The best they can do is blame Biden for following Trump's commitment. And that's a fair criticism. But there is a fine line to be crossed when attempting to show the world that our traditional shifts in power from one party to the other does not affect consistency in international policy, and being the successor of a complete MORON.

    But.........the facts (as we know) are immaterial to what MAGAists will take away from House weaponizer's hearings. The alternate reality media machine will be in high gear after the impeachment debacle.

    Don't worry, they aren't done with the Biden family crime syndicate just yet
    https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/j...nquiry-hearing-hunter-biden-business-dealings
    They learned a lot from THE LEFT on how to impeach over anything, even farting in public. Its gonna be fun to watch this crime syndicate get dragged through the mud in another hearing. I would like to thank the super smart politicians on THE LEFT for setting this NEW PRECEDENT

    Thank you

    If a dog touches a hot iron it will never touch another.

    It seems the GOP isn't quite as smart as your average canine.

    The House is having an open hearing and now Hunter has said he will not show up after saying repeatedly he would only testify in an open hearing. The impeachment investigation has only just began.

    True. However, the good thing is that will be the takeaway ONLY of MAGAists... They don't count because they will vote for him no matter what. Any other voter who follows the procedures might come out with a greater understanding of what happened.

    This is just another circus that was produced for an audience of ONE. They feel they need Trump's blessing to have a chance to be re-elected. However, that stock is quickly losing value.

    This most definitely does not look like a good year to be a MAGA.....

    Hunter already testified behind closed doors. But now he has the upper hand, after the Republican "star witness" has been proven to be a liar. And he will make them pay. Because the longer MAGAs in Congress extend this, the worse they will look as more and more people start paying attention ahead of the elections.

    BEFORE he was afraid his testimony would be taken out of context if he testified in a closed hearing. But now he's laughing his head off! Basically he's telling them: come after me... if you dare!

    October surprise this year should be a lot of fun. But everything else having fallen apart, right now it doesn't look like there is anybody with brains in the GOP anymore to come up with anything that might stick. They're in the hands of intellectual midgets like Marge Taylor and Jim Jordan.

    The problem is still Biden. Even without a scandal, he is mentally unfit to be president.

    It’s far from imploding. The hearing that Hunter refused to go to is getting pretty interesting on more people than Hunter

    Get back to us when you have something more than vague innuendo.

    This is such an ironic post, by you, who entirely endorsed and even marketed this behavior of the 2021-2023 democratic house and every effort to use law fare against the former president. You simply never expected folks to use the tactics you yourself highly endorsed to be used against your team. And now that they are being used in that manner, you're whining about it. Laughable. Even for you.

    You used the statements of the Steele dossier, for years, and you still haven't ever disavowed the foreign intelligence and the collusion between mr Steele and ms Clinton and her staff. And this is you saying what? Only your team can use lies?

    So, fun stuff, you applauded, giggled, and jumped up and down with glee when the democrats in congress used what were flights of fantasy against your tormentor... And the longer this drags out, the worse it's going to make Biden et al look. All you care is to turn off the flow of information so not too many folks get to hear the truth. You don't care that it's the truth as long as you can stamp your feet and plug your ears so no one else gets to hear it.

    Is that your new standard? For so long, that's all you ever traded on on these forums.... All you have to hope for is that your weaponized DOJ can keep the folks intent on litigating this out of the courts that you know won't support you anymore.

    Hah! There is not a WORD in the Steele Dossier that has been proven wrong. In fact, everything that CAN be proven at this point HAS been proven. The rest is likely just a matter of time. It would only take the fall of Putin for us to find out if the "Golden Showers" episode is what the Russian dictator is holding over the head of OUR dictator wannabe.

    I wish it were that simple. But it's WORSE! Your problem is that only your team BELIEVES lies.

    Along with charges against Smith, Willis, James, Engoron, Bragg, multiple Congress critters. The list is long.

    There isn't anything in the dossier that's been proven right. By now, that means it's fiction.

    There's not a word in the Steele report that has been proven correct. Burden of proof is yours. You assert proof, and yet, has never been proven. Anywhere, let alone tested in court. You assert you know the truths of this, and yet could not provide a shred of actual evidence outside of the foreign intelligence provided dossier that substantiates it. You imagination is running you wild... LOL

    We've been hearing about an impeachment since Biden took office. Biden is in the last year of his administration. Begs the question....what in hell are the Repubs waiting on??? Let's go already.
