    Try brave and transparent....your choice of descriptors sounds like the Democratic Party propagandists wrote them for you.

    These veterans actually provided everyone a reality check that we are not getting from the Biden Administration. We should all be thankful that they were brave and transparent.

    I would like to learn more about them. To be honest, I have never heard of either and am open to change my opinion of them with more information. If you have any to share, it is appreciated.

    The article clearly prints quotes by the lawmakers in which they detail how their travel did not interfere with operations.

    Regardless, there was a need for a couple of lawmakers to go over to Afghanistan in order to provide the public with some honest accounts of the situation. Biden and his Administration are essentially useless in this regard.

    Well I posted this link about Meijer. I'll see if I can locate the other link regarding the Democrat politician a bit later, because it's difficult to locate information due to the tech censorship. That's the other red flag to me. My searches should be yielding the bad stories, but all I'm getting is fluff nonsense. The opposite is true if I were to type Trump's name into the search with positive terms. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/n...raw-donor-scheme-paperwork-blamed/3733858001/

    I'm not trying to be a party-pooper, but I don't trust these pieces that prop up establishment Rhinos and Democrats, because it allows the media to give these politicians name recognition and stature which will later be used to bolster a narrative or economically beneficial campaign. For example, think the gang of eight and the push towards compromised bills that benefit corporation.

    The article is dated October of last year and it's all alleged accusations and not proof Meijer even knew about it. What happened to innocent before proven guilty? I see the smear campaign starting already so I have to wonder what the Democratic Party is worried about?

    Dude... They have the records for the money and business entity. The shell corporation that received and transferred the donation is registered at the Uncle's address. The Uncle used the business address to donate to other campaigns. Meijer's father admitted to donating $150,000 to Leadership Fund through the address of the LLC. The business was created two weeks before the donation. The reason they used the LLC was to hide the fact that they were giving to a Super Pac that launches attack ads against opposition candidates. The only problem was that the morons didn't know that they should put their lawyer's office as the address. The whole point of the lawyer is to hide behind confidentiality. https://www.opensecrets.org/outsidespending/recips.php?cmte=C00504530&cycle=2020

    I'm not saying Meijer is guilty. I'm saying he did it. My legal speciality is business entities (corporate law). It's a textbook shell company. It is what it is. And they go after Democrats, so I don't know why you're defending this dude. I think you're confused.

    And it's not a smear campaign. It's just me looking at evidence within government records and court documents. Anyone could look at this evidence and come to a conclusion.

    What is the Democrat Party worried about? Well... They look real stupid at the moment. I don't know if you've been outside lately, but it's very well-known that Biden handling of Afghanistan disaster and the Border crisis was an epic failure. The Democrats want to refocus the issue towards Covid, and away from the fact that the Biden Administration appears out of touch with the situation. Meijer and company didn't help the situation for the Democrats.

    No, if a congressional aide wasn't.there already, just send one. Safer and cheaper.

    They want to control the flow of information. They are now forcing foreign journalists onto planes.

    Surviving the Biden Administration. We will, many in Afghanistan will not:

    “The nation is ruled by a president in the terminal stages of galloping dementia. His potential replacement resembles a cackling witch with the intelligence of a feral child. The Senate majority leader is by all reasonable accounts a candidate for intensive psychotherapy. What unites these three presumptive authorities is a triple condition consisting of
    (a) contempt for the country they were elected or appointed to serve;
    (b) an intelligence quotient at the low end of the bell curve; and
    (c) an insatiable lust for the spoils of financial jobbery and unmitigated power.”

    Well typical of a Biden run military, they literally can't handle two congressman that paid their own way and didn't require the military to do anything. Wonder why this withdrawal was so f'd up

    I doubt the military couldn't handle the congressmen. This is Pelosi, and I agree with her. The politics needs to take a break. We're getting our people out, and getting other people out. NATO partners are getting their people out. There will be plenty of time for accountability. These hacks can interview anyone they want once they get home, and now, that's what matters. We have enough political theater right here, right now. If you're not doing something to help the evacuation, stay tf home.

    More than likely Pelosi doesn’t want credible people going there and telling us how fubar it is. She almost certainly wants to tell fluff stories about Biden’s heroics while putting on her best Baghdad Bob face.
