The libs are never held accountable these days.

This is actually IMHO one of the greatest tragedies of this tragic time (the Biden administration) in which we are living.

I know I harp on the border a lot…but with a couple of speeches and a couple of executive orders Biden turned that southern border into a complete train wreck. Why isn’t he being held accountable for 9 months of completely ignoring the laws he is supposed to be enforcing? That homeland security scum Mayorkas can go on tv and tell the most easily proven to be a lie ever, “the border is closed”, why hasn’t anyone held that moron accountable. The only people facing any accountability are those horseback border patrol agents.

There seems to be universal agreement that our withdrawal from Afghanistan was a debacle…yet the only person facing any accountability is a Marine who dared to question what happened. Where is the accountability for the generals who were apparently spending more time yapping about whiteness and critical race theory and giving bob Woodward interviews than planning this most important military exercise…it’s disgusting.

The most frequently used descriptive words during Biden seem to be debacle, fail failure or failed, and disaster. When will clueless Joe face some accountability for getting everything he has touched since he becomes POTUS wrong.

The party will face a reckoning from the voters next year…if there isn’t wide spread cheating that is.

Jimmy Carter looks like a genius compared to these clowns.

Exactly what reckoning would that be?

We have heard this song and dance from you before….

Loss of the house and the senate. It may happen but they have predicting huge red wave every election.

Only those that were there are capable of knowing anything about it…That thinking kinda leaves historians out of a job doesn’t it?

So this guy is getting released. It’s weird that I’m the one providing the update.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d guess that he isn’t politically useful to ya’ll (c) anymore.

STODR · October 5, 2021, 11:50pm

Why is it weird? Has he been released? When is he gonna be released? What are the conditions of his release? Not much to discuss but go ahead break your arm patting yourself on back for posting something first.

This article has more details, including answers to some of your questions

Smart guy. They released him after he bashed Trump…

SeaManatee · October 6, 2021, 8:19pm

I have no real comment, came across an update.

And pleads out.

Hopefully they take into account his full record when meting out sentence.

And the judge did, 5,000 buck fine, and a letter of reprimand goes into his file.

Allan

biggestal99 · October 16, 2021, 1:06pm

Lol. Yep. You are correct. Once someone principled stands up to the plate. Crickets from the cons.

And under the plea deal he will be leaving the service. Not reaching retirement will cost him about $55,000 - $60,000 per year for the rest of his life.

Still a light sentence for disobeying a direct order. Discharge will probably be honorable.

Hope it was worth it to him…

Pretty sure that while sitting in the Brig his lawyer explained what was about to happen and he had a What-The-Hell moment realizing what he had done and he had two chances of a not guilty verdict by other Marine officers: Slim and None and “Slim” left town.

Hence the plea deal.
