If Islam is so peaceful then why aren’t Islamic nations stepping forward to take in the Afghan refugees and working against the Taliban?

I understand that the British officer firmly rejected the request.

What a disaster.

This will go down as the worse presidential decision of all time.

But partisanship beats intelligence, right?

Go ahead and spin your wheels, and still try to blame Trump.Not sure how that all makes sense in your head.

Lets say we handled our removal better, I still don't see how this part is Joe Biden's fault, unless he authorized or supported supplying the Afghan forces with Blackhawk down helicopters. The Afghan army fled and left behind all the equipment we gave them. They need to be held accountable for this epic failure, but their not.

By the way, I think it's devastating all the equipment that was left behind and now in the hands of terrorists.

“America is back!” - Joe Biden

The painful lesson America learned, is not to fire people of mean tweets. Because his replacement could be much worse.

That can happen. The last time it happened was in 2002 when James Traficant was expelled. There have been others, going back to a group who was expelled 1861.

Expulsion means the Representative loses her credentials. Margie's seat is taken away, and Shen can no longer enter the Chamber.
Most resign before expulsion, some resign afterwards, but there's nothing to prevent an expelled member from serving out his term doing nothing at all except showing up at the office and collecting a paycheck.

There are 3 levels of discipline Congress can use on a member.
Reprimand is the least, a letter of disapproval read on the floor. The member does not have to be present.
Marge has already been reprimanded. There was a motion to expel her, but since she was a new member, Nancy Pelosi refused to go along with expulsion and Reprimand was used instead.

Censure is next. A letter of censure is read on the floor to the member, who must stand before the entire House to hear the rebuke. This adds public humiliation to the rebuke.

Expulsion is the most severe. The offending member is stripped of all powers and responsibilities.
This has only happened 5 times in our history. 3 of them were House members who joined the Confederacy.

The House Ethics committee handles all of these disciplinary actions, and there are penalties that can be used as discipline as well.A Rep. can lose banking privileges with the House Bank, can lose cafeteria priveleges, the best cheap lunch to be found in D.C., mail franking privileges, and some others.

Then old mad maxine waters should be brought up on charges for inciting a riot and encouraging people to attack people on the trump cabinet . Do you remember when she made that speech ? yep I hope her old butt gets dump in mid terms . I like ms greene and she should go for it . And I agree with her 100 % he is what she called him .

If they were smart they would have put in hidden cameras, or recording devices, or spy ware, GPS monitors, to spy on these guys.
