Along with reading AZ Blue Meanie’s excellent summary of Donald Trump’s apparent indifference to dealing with Russia for its reported paying members of the Taliban to target United States and British soldiers in Afghanistan, please view the latest one-minute presentation from the Lincoln Project called “Bounty”
The video depicts Donald Trump as nothing more than a Putin lackey and enabler as well as a traitor to American Troops, saying:
“Donald Trump knows too (about the Russian bounties) and does nothing…Trump is silent, weak, controlled. Instead of condemnation, he insists Russia be treated as our equal. Instead of retaliation, he invites Putin to America(Remember when he postponed the G7 Conference. He said he wanted Russia to be one of the nations to attend when it convenes in the fall.) When Trump tells you he stands by the troops…just not our troops.”
With over 18,000 lies from Mr. Trump since his inauguration and an average of about 20 falsehoods a day since the beginnings of the Coronavirus, it would probably be wise and prudent not to believe the White House Press Secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, when she says ” the President or Vice President were not briefed on this.”
However, readers should consider that if he is not lying or giving false information to his Press Secretary, does that mean United States Intelligence does not trust Donald Trump or Mike Pence with classified information on matters concerning Russia.
2020 Democratic Presidential Nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden condemned the Administration, stating:
“Not only has he failed to sanction or impose any kind of consequences on Russia for this egregious violation of international law, Donald Trump has continued his embarrassing campaign of deference and debasing himself before Vladimir Putin. His entire presidency has been a gift to Putin, but this is beyond the pale. It’s a betrayal of the most sacred duty we bear as a nation, to protect and equip our troops when we send them into harm’s way.”
Reaction among some of Arizona’s political elite has also been quick.
Representative Ruben Gallego, in reporting from Rolling Stone, said:
“It’s heartbreaking… their own president is basically hanging them out to dry… I want to apologize to all of our members in the military. I’m so sorry that this man is your president.”
In the same article, Senate Candidate Captain Mark Kelly stated:
“This report that the administration has had no response to Russia putting a bounty on the lives of American soldiers in Afghanistan is just staggering. As a combat veteran, I can’t imagine how this could go without a response. We need answers.”
The country can not continue functioning with a leader that gives aid and comfort to the enemy or is not trusted by the nation’s intelligence services with sensitive classified information.
As MSNBC commentator Donny Deutsch first said last November, Donald Trump is “the President of Betrayal.”
He is also a menace to the American People.

Trymp has been harder on Russia than his predecessor with sanctions. Trump has given Russian enemy the Ukraine arms and weapons, his predecessor gave blankets. Trump never was caught on a mike promising after an election he would be able to bridge a relationship. Obama did that. Trump didn’t have a failed Reset Button like Hillary….and for years enemies have put bounties on US troops, this is nothing new. Cuba did it in the 80s in Central America, Middle East dictators in Iran and Iraq did/do it now. These are facts. Bejing Biden will be overwhelmed by Putin, because Plagerist Joe is clearly cognitively challenged.
My compliments on repeating virtually every fringe and mostly inaccurate reactionary talking point in circulation. Trump has been dragged into imposing sanctions on Russia and supplying Ukraine Obama gave a lot more than just blankets. Trump was caught on a mike saying how he would treat women and there are various pictures of him interacting in a questionable manner with his daughter. In terms of failures, where is that check from Mexico for the border wall? Where is the health care that is supposed to be better and cheaper than Obamacare. Where is the infrastructure plan? Joe Biden plagiarized a British Labor Party leader and one of the Kennedy’s over 30 years ago. Trump has lied close to 20,000 times since he has been President, risked numerous lives with his poor handling of the Coronavirus, and can not walk down a ramp without assistance. Have a nice evening.
Someday we might find out why Bunker Boy is so reluctant to condemn anything that Putin does. Is there a chance that the Russians have pictures or videos of Trump in a Moscow hotel room with some hookers?
You have gone from ridiculous to absurd. Please find a source who is not on the opposing side, using some real facts.
These are real facts. The story from the New York Times was confirmed by the Washington Post and CNN. The White House Press Secretary did not deny the accuracy of the intelligence. The statements from Biden, Gallego, and Kelly are also accurate. The only fact in question is whether or not Trump received the briefing and I addressed that in the piece. It is bad either way you look at it.
The Wall Street Journal, owned by Rupert Murdoch who also owns Fox News, has confirmed the reports.
The British have confirmed the reports.
Stars and Stripes is reporting on the story.
More and more Republicans are asking for answers.
Trump is Putin’s boy.
If you are a Trump supporter and you’re not feeling shame yet, you will.
One of the Lincoln Republicans should run for President to challenge Trump in the Republican Party!
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), the chair of the House Republican Conference, tweeted on Sunday morning: “If reporting about Russian bounties on US forces is true, the White House must explain: 1. Why weren’t the president or vice president briefed? Was the info in the PDB? 2. Who did know and when? 3. What has been done in response to protect our forces & hold Putin accountable?”
