    What L? I'm arguing this adamantly because just like the **** hole Syria that the liberal media b****ed about leaving over Russia these are Trump successes that said media is trying to dictate the narrative.

    No confirmed sources on this story, no deaths since peace deal or alleged briefing. The L media is taking Ls

    Yeah. Y'all b**** Every. Single. Time. trump betrays the US Constitution, the American people, and every semblance of moral and ethical values. It's like y'all have a grudge or something. It gets soooo old. Just let the guy do what Putin wants him to do and get played by Xi and Kim. Sheesh.

    btw, I posted this at 7:45am...

    First... sourced mollie henningway of the federalist newsletter... always sketchy. And it has already been reported that dni ratcliffe (who also has a truth issue) as proof is sketchy. Was the term "briefed" purposely chosen? Was it used to avoid the content was included in the written PDB but trump didn't read it? He was not verbally briefed?

    But even if you assume hemmigway and ratcliffe are telling the truth... the "WHY WERE THEY NOT BRIEFED"?? Was it not important? Did they worry about providing the info to the POTUS? And, why or why not?

    These are all important questions that Congress and the American people need answers to...

    The sources are the (failing, allegedly) NY Times, The Washington Post, CBS News, and--get this--the Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal. Oops.

    You know who's not denying it? The Pentagon and our Intelligence Community.

    So not having any troop deaths is betraying them?

    That is exactly and exclusively what he does. His M.O. Cherry pick, misdirect, deflect, distract, gaslight. Because keeping to the topic and the facts undermine his narrative.

    Not holding Putin accountable or taking action to protect our troops is a win for Trump? I can see why someone who works for Putin would believe so.

    Wow. That's highly presumptive and mis-representing. NewRoxFan presents tweets from historically reliable sources. His presentation of information is careful and considered. He is too intelligent to build a contention or communication of fact on assailable material.

    That's something nobody has suggested. What people have suggested is that refusing to take steps to hold the government responsible who is paying militants to kill our troops accountable is betraying them. For some reason you disagree.

    No, you won't. You've already made your judgment, but are hoping that someone will you give you cover so that you can express it publicly without looking like you are just closing your eyes to the truth.

    Which publications do you believe are more reputable than the NYT, Wallstreet Journal, Washington Post, etc.?

    We do know that Trump has ordered to have all of his briefs cut down to under one page. So his ability to grasp and interest in briefs is noted. If he wasn't briefed why not? It's his fault if he wasn't. What is he doing different in his Whitehouse that other presidents haven't done that is preventing him from being briefed? If the President is as ill-informed as he claims, why would he publicize that other nations including our adversaries and enemies?

    Overwhelmingly, you aren't worth a response, but here you have become self-parody. This is a self-own for the ages.

    So let's pretend that Trump wasn't briefed. He's aware of it now. What is he doing about it? Is Putin being held accountable now that the President as well as the rest of the country is aware of the bounty?

    What is so wrong with the way he runs the Whitehouse that unlike all of the presidents before him, he isn't getting briefed on these things? Why is the president broadcasting to our enemies that he's uninformed? Why aren't people who normally loudly proclaim the importance of supporting our troops pushing for action to literally support our troops?
