    ...apparently not.

    ...knowing what you're doing, and knowing what to call whatever it is you are (or aren't) doing...are two very different things...

    ...just look around this forum if you want an example...;)

    trump is so desperate to belittle the importance of the story that he turned a blind eye to russian bounties on American soldiers (that he then lied about)... he is now retweeting geraldo rivera's effort to make a joke of the story...

    This is gonna blow up in everyone's face. Trump does not work for Putin. Why would he not respond to an accusation of Russian bounties. Cause he has man crush on Putin? So what if he has a man crush on the guy,?

    There is nothing for him to gain by ignoring intelligence like this.

    These are White House briefings. He is a Congressman. If there were Congressmen that could confirm the story the story would be confirmed

    This WaPo article from April 27 seems timely and relevant... ties both the russian bounty thread and covid-19 thread together.

    President’s intelligence briefing book repeatedly cited virus threat

    Two different subjects. Trump didn't ignore virus warnings. He didn't take them seriously but that wasn't classified information

    Secondly there isn't a mass outbreak of soilder deaths. As a matter of fact there hasn't been a combat casualty in Afghanistan since the alleged briefing.

    The media continuously failed to say there has been no casualties so now the media is saying he knew in early 2019 when that's when any suspicions supposedly began.

    New York Times is headed for embarrassment

    British Intelligence confirmed it, US Intelligence confirmed it, and numerous officials are saying Trump knew. How could he not know? I mean if this happened and Trump didn't know that's actually pretty bad and shows he doesn't know wtf he is doing.

    So Trump is either grossly incompetent or he is Putin's lapdog. Which on is it?


    Answer is it's both, but I'm curious to see how you defend this

    This is as open and shut 25th Amendment material for Trump’s removal and Pence taking over as can be obtained. Not because he is demented or anything, but because of the absolute dereliction of duty to us the citizens and our troops by not reading or listening to any intelligence briefings. This man can live tweet fox and friends every day but did not use the head start given by the intelligence community to start preparing a federal response for COVID back in January. Even a poorly planned response would have been better than pretending it’s nothing until March. Now we find out he his still cozying up to Putin trying to get Russia back into the G7/8 and calling him after hours multiple times over the last several weeks despite multiple attempts to let him know that Russian intelligence were putting bounties our troops and our allies troops in Afghanistan.

    This is a disgrace. Conservatives got some half assed tax cuts removal of some regulations on the environment while we all got our international standing tarnished, a failed trade war with China, too numerous to list scandals, COVID, a suffering economy for naught since the cases surged anyway, dead soldiers from botched raids in Africa, and now dead soldiers in Afghanistan because of Trumps best personal friend dropping bags of cash for Taliban to kill them.

    @Trader_Jorge @bigtexxx @cml750 @Os Trigonum @pgabriel @dachuda86 etc.
    Only you have the power to stop this. We can protest until we are blue in the face but as long as Trump has a base, this goes on. End Trumpism and the style over substance that has infiltrated conservatism over the last 12 years. Trump is the symptom of a deeper problem that needs to be fixed now.
