Donny says the report of him being briefed on the report of Russian bounties on American soldiers is a hoax. Fellas help me out here. This accusation of a "hoax", seems like I've heard that somewhere before but I just can't put my finger on it Anyone else heard that before?

Russian bounties to Taliban-linked militants resulted in deaths of U.S. troops, according to intelligence assessments

https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...1dc_story.html

Sorry, Donny, you aren't going to be able to "hoax" this one away. You are a clear and present danger for ignoring this one. Even Trumpkin idiots must be appalled at this.

Quote:
Russian bounties offered to Taliban-linked militants to kill coalition forces in Afghanistan are believed to have resulted in the deaths of several U.S. service members, according to intelligence gleaned from U.S. military interrogations of captured militants in recent months.

Several people familiar with the matter said it was unclear exactly how many Americans or coalition troops from other countries may have been killed or targeted under the program. U.S. forces in Afghanistan suffered a total of 10 deaths from hostile gunfire or improvised bombs in 2018, and 16 in 2019. Two have been killed this year. In each of those years, several service members were also killed by what are known as “green on blue” hostile incidents by members of Afghan security forces, which are sometimes believed to have been infiltrated by the Taliban.

The intelligence was passed up from the U.S. Special Operations forces based in Afghanistan and led to a restricted high-level White House meeting in late March, the people said.

I dare call it treason! Trump's Russia policy after this surfaced seems to be plain "aid and comfort to the enemy" to me!

A huge defeat for pro-lifers — and for Donny
By Jennifer Rubin

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...-lifers-trump/

Quote:
The Supreme Court in a 5-to-4 decision struck down a Louisiana law — one nearly identical to a Texas law previously found unconstitutional — that would have essentially eliminated access to abortion by requiring doctors in the state to have admitting privileges at a local hospital, a measure repeatedly found to have virtually nothing to do with any legitimate health concern. Joining the court’s four liberals, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. preserved the architecture of abortion precedent that pro-lifers sought to abolish with the elevation of Neil M. Gorsuch and Brett M. Kavanaugh to the bench. For those who supported Donald Trump despite his personal corruption and unfitness because he would eradicate abortion rights, the decision comes as a blow; for Trump, it marks the third defeat in the past two weeks (following a decision barring discrimination against LGBTQ employees and another preserving the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program) and yet another blow to right-wingers’ rationale for supporting him.
Our resident right-wingnut "Christian" hate-mongers must be peeing their pants about now, lol.

Too bad the right-wingers have gone all ride-or-die with tRump. I don't think they have the guts to do what the Republican Party did with Nixon and tell him to step down.

Congress Unites To Demand Answers From Trump On Russian Bounties In Afghanistan

https://www.npr.org/2020/06/29/88461...in-afghanistan

Quote:
Members of Congress in both parties demanded answers on Monday about reported bounties paid by Russian operatives to Afghan insurgents for targeting American troops.

The stories appeared to have taken even the most senior lawmakers off guard, and they said they wanted briefings soon from the Defense Department and the intelligence community.

"I think it is absolutely essential that we get the information and be able to judge its credibility," said Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee.
This one is too big for even the disgusting Repubes to ignore. Have they finally figured out that Donny will be roundly defeated in November, that his SCOTUS picks are losing most battles, and that they no longer need to fear a "mean tweet" from Donny? We can only hope...

Donny in ‘fragile’ mood and may drop out of 2020 race if poll numbers don’t improve, GOP insiders tell Fox "News"
Recent polls have shown president losing support among older white voters to Joe Biden

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-a9592036.html

Caught the Covid in OK, did you, Donny? Afraid Joe's going to kick your sorry ass in November? Poor widdle Donny!

Wow! He's worse than we thought. Thanks for another round of great reporting, Carl Bernstein! Covid, do your deed on this bloated piece of garbage.
