#JAILTOTHECHIEF- Shit Just Got Real

[Sredni Eel]

It's already being spun as "Well, he didn't hear the White Power part of the video."

I'm fairly sure Trump hires 8 year olds to spin his press.

His erstwhile enablers are deserting him

This is a test. I want to know how many if the “Support our troops” people think our impeached President is still a good guy after he ignored warnings from his own intelligence people that Russia was paying bounties to Afghans who killed those same troops.

Supporting our troops is more than a catch phrase or a patriotic slogan. It’s a moral obligation to the men & women who agreed to risk their own lives believing that we would actually support them.

There will be a quiz on Nov 3. Pay attention.

You're giving Trump too much credit. You think he gave a crap what the question was?

But hannutty is his buddy! They talk all the time! And probably discussed what questions Sean would ask beforehand.

It was a clear opportunity for Trump to slam Biden or make unchallenged empty vague promises... But he flubbed it.

It's not that he didn't care... It's that he failed to hear the question so completely that he couldn't even begin to respond appropriately... So he went all "I like turtles" out of context word salad until enough time passed for the next question.

Whether that was "a senior moment" or hearing impairment... Or a flashback to his joke of a rally in Tulsa... Who knows.

I'm sure he's giving a crap now, considering the blowback that followed. For a moment at least, until the next thing dominates his goldfish level attention span.

I'm really wondering how Gaetz is going to spin this mess - we're a -very- pro military area, as in support the troops, and his primary opponent is retired military.

I can get behind that.

It says it was not told? I call bullshit. Intel like that would have gone to the top PDQ. It just does not read.

We already knew that Trump hates the debriefs. He doesn't give a crap about this country's security - just his reelection.

So I would not be surprised to learn that, yes, they told him about it but he wasn't paying attention and never understood the extreme danger of the report.

So he is going with having hearing problems? Or that someone who wants to be elected does not review information before passing it on with his seal of approval?

No chance of it getting past their "fake news" filters. He could literally use the constitution as toilet paper, and they'd still believe that a Democrat president would deliberately do worse.

Yes, it was already known he could not read and hated the pdbs. His counter was he could read and got all the info. Well, this is another obvious one he should have done something about when it appeared.

Russia offered bounty to kill UK soldiers

Moscow accused of offering money to the Taliban in drive to destabilise America and its allies

www.theguardian.com

There is a suspicion that Boris Johnson and his predecessor, Theresa May, have been reluctant to publish an Intelligence and Security Committee report on Russia, finished last October, for fear of upsetting Trump.

In his confidential submission to the committee, the former spy Christopher Steele has reportedly suggested that the Kremlin has a “likely hold” over Trump, a claim that has been fiercely disputed but which would sour the government’s relations with the White House once published. “These worrying reports should be the catalyst for the prime minister to finally release the ISC report No. 10 have been stalling for more than six months,” said shadow foreign secretary Lisa Nandy.“Under this government, Britain is retreating from the world stage and the fear among our allies is that Boris Johnson is afraid to stand up to Vladimir Putin’s Russia.”

I'm more optimistic. Even Fox News is pulling away from his bullshit, including the whole bounty scandal.

They still represent less than 30% of the voting public at best, and only won in 2016 because of Russian help and a buttload of character assassination vs Hillary.

Now that some Republicans are abandoning the ship and swinging further to the left, I'm hopeful we'll tip over the whole apple cart in November and take the House, Senate and WH. Then we can get to work on undoing the incredible damage this asshat has done to our government, our environment, our minorities, and our international image. That's what will take time.

Not only did he do nothing, he was rewarding Russia by pushing their acceptance back in the G7.
