Has President Biden's Capital Hill Allies Deserted Him?

The Hill: Biden finds few Capitol Hill allies amid Afghanistan backlash 

President Biden is getting little cover from Congress as he faces broad backlash over his handling of the U.S. withdrawal in Afghanistan. 

Some Democrats, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), have rallied to Biden’s side and circulated White House talking points to their members. Pelosi also urged Democrats during a conference call to stand behind Biden, according to a source familiar with the conversation. 

But the quick fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban, images of chaos coming out of Kabul and questions about how, and how quickly, Americans and tens of thousands of Afghan allies and their families will get evacuated have merged into broad, bipartisan frustration between the two sides of Pennsylvania Avenue.

WNU Editor: With the exception of the Democrat Congressional leadership, Democrats are distancing themselves from the President. But this is only for the short term. They still need each other to push their agenda and for their political survival.

Wnu, do you really think that Biden was picked to serve out an entire term?

He's senile, doesn't know where he is much of the time.
No.

He was picked to be replaced and do as he's told until then.

We are living through a coup, a global Marxist corporate authoritarian coup

Speech is limited and censored by corporations that work hand in hand with the marxists

You gotta be blind to not see what's going on

Corporations in the west are now doing to us what they've done for years to people in China.

Do you think corporations who run slave labour camps in China are on the side of human rights? Apple? Nike?

Haha seriously....

I think once Kamala is in office, they'll really put on the screws for the US population

And if you resist tyranny, they'll call you racist or sexist. It's so predictable. And Don Lemon will call you the most dangerous people etc etc while he and his buddy Jessie Smollett fostered racism and division based on lies for years and years

She's perfect for the totalitarian takeover

Also.. just on a side note.. she was the most unpopular candidate of all candidates, left and right lol and she will be your president .. it's funny but also sad that you went along with the obvious coup

He won. He will stay in office. Trump lost and will soon be forgotten except for fellow losers

Biden stole the election. He will stay in office. Democrats shredded ballots in Georgia. They do not want a recount or the public to know the truth.
