Afghanistan

Buchanan (R-FL-16) 04/10/2023: Tweet – “Truly disturbing When asked if he has any regrets about our withdrawal from Afghanistan that led to the death of 13 U.S. service members, Defense Sec.

Lieu (D-CA-36) 04/09/2023: Twitter thread – “Well, being a Browns fan is pretty darn inconvenient. And I commended Trump for ordering withdrawal from Afghanistan and funding vaccines. Also, any objective person would know a “deeply honorable, decent and patriotic person” would not lavish massive gifts on a public official. Link to quoted tweet@tedlieu Do you ever get exhausted from doing fan service? Or do you enjoy doing tricks for those who agree with you the most? Show some critical thinking that actually inconveniences you politically for once. If I missed an example please let enlighten me.   Link to reply@tedlieu It's not against the law to have rich friends for decades. In any way. Or rules or ethics. @kareemjeanjr2 You are right it is not against the law to have rich friends. But it is against the law to have a rich friend who lavishes millions of dollars in gifts to a judge and that rich friend also sits on the board of an organization that sends legal briefs to the same judge. Link to reply@tedlieu @Miss_Placed_ Ok, but if the Cleveland Browns offer you a $500K ‘fan package' I hope you'll refuse it. Otherwise, keep up the good work. @graymagiker @Miss_Placed_ I would refuse such a gift because I'm a “deeply honorable, decent and patriotic person” with no statues of homicidal maniacs in my home.”
