"CONGRESSMAN SEEKING TO RELAUNCH AFGHAN WAR MADE MILLIONS IN DEFENSE CONTRACTING"


"Florida Republican Michael Waltz made up to $25 million from the sale of Metis Solutions, a defense contractor with a spotty record training Afghan security forces."

"According to a Sludge review of financial disclosures, 51 members of Congress and their spouses own between $2.3 and $5.8 million worth of stocks in companies that are among the top 30 defense contractors in the world."

"Eighteen members of Congress, combined, own as much as $760,000 worth of stock of Lockheed Martin, the world’s largest defense contractor in terms of overall defense revenues."

"Rep. Khanna’s wife, Ritu Khanna, owns as much as $376,000 in defense stocks. Khanna told Sludge in an email that he and his wife maintain independent finances and file taxes separately."

“I have not personally invested in any defense stocks,” Khanna said.


The simplest solution is like for most things politicians do -- if you're part of his constituency, you vote him out at the first opportunity. If that's what you think he's doing. If his constituency doesn't think it's a problem, that's their choice. Of course, someone can try to remove or prosecute him if he did something wrong. But that's harder.

Yes, and Trump and his idiot son incited / inflamed the mouth-breathers to storm the Capitol shortly before it happened.

Hello, rabble-rousing.

Never in my life have I seen pig piling on a president from all sides of the media like I'm seeing today. What Beijing Joe did in Afghanistan is so egregious, so horrendous, so horrifyingly inept, even the left-wing media can't believe it. He obviously left 80 billion dollars of military equipment there because the people who control him and supply these armaments to the military told him to do it. Why he left tens of thousands of American citizens there to fend for themselves is a total mystery. We can understand senile Joe being that stupid. But his entire cabinet, all the people advising him. Can they all be this inept? Apparently so, turn on any news channel in the world.

EB only makes use of government sources like the FBI if it supports his narrative. There’s no official or even legitimate source that the election was stolen, but it never stops him from believing it. Maybe he thinks we won’t notice.

He doesn’t even believe it. He just can’t bring himself to admit Donny lost after he spent four years pretending he was more popular than he really was.

Parliament holds Joe Biden in Contempt over Afghanistan

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/08/18/parliament-holds-joe-biden-contempt-afghanistan/

How many times did this happen to Donald Trump? I believe the correct answer would be zero. If he had been this would have been an actual reason for impeachment instead of the stupid reasons they cooked up that made no sense. There is talk everywhere that Beijing Joe has committed an actual impeachable crime with Afghanistan. What do they he's the Godfather of a Crime Family

Lindsey Graham threatens Biden with impeachment over Afghanistan

Mr Graham said the US was “duty-bound” to evacuate every US citizen and “honour-bound” to do likewise for the Afghan interpreters and contractors who aided the American occupation. President Biden will have committed a ‘high crime and misdemeanor’ if any Americans or Afghan allies are left behind
