  1. Why would General Bone spurs care about U.S soldiers when he doesn’t care about the country dying from Coronavirus ???

    1. Traitor to the United States and our troops but you are a real ‘murican huh? Brainwashed moron!!!

    2. The senile old man is falling asleep behind the desk; he doesn’t have the physical nor the mental energies.

  2. There’s something weird going on with turning the military towards China and away from russia

    1. You notice that too? Republicans for SOME REASON won’t stand up against PUTIN. Trump has blamed and bullied Obama, Hillary, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, Blacks, immigrants, the Chinese, but NEVER RUSSIA. They have interfered in our elections, targeted our military soldiers overseas and TRUMP HAS YET TO SAY ONE WORD AGAINST PUTIN, also the entire Republican party has been rendered MUTE!

    2. @Peaches Williams ….when the Russian hacked the US in 2016 …they got allot of dirt on the Republi-kkk-ans as well as Chump . All of America is being played by Putin’s puppet and its only going to get worst till election day !

    3. @Peaches Williams Typhoid Donnie was swapped with a KGB doppelganger during his visit to moscow in 1987. The manbaby currently squatting in the whitehouse is a Russian national and was not born as Donald J. Trump.

  3. The question should be ” When did CadetBonespurs tRump know about Putins Bounties on American & British Coalition Forces serving overseas in Afghanistan.”

    1. @Dave Schultz Well, now, that much is true: I wish Obama had plied a heavier hand when he discovered the Russians were backing Trump, but he claims he didn’t wish to expose the guy because it wouldn’t have seemed “fair.” Whether that’s true or just a politician’s version of “I didn’t want to hand him a whining point, as I thought Clinton would win anyway,” the result was the same: an American President who owes his job (and apparently lots of money) to an adversary nation.

    2. @TexTech Tex, if you wish to claim you’re too classy to respond to your critics, you have to stop responding.

    3. @Dave Schultz Your view of history is too short. This is all payback for our winning the Cold War. Welcome to Cold War II. We’re losing.

    4. @Bryant Patterson The only detail you missed is that they don’t wear masks because they think they’ll be the vanguard of the Zombie Apocalypse.

    1. @JC Oh come on you can think of a better way out than that . check your liberal handbook of excuses !

    2. @Painting Animals On Rocks Don’t worry only liberal freaks get to smell Creepy Joe OBiden fingers that’s how he paying for his campaign . If you donate a lot to his campaign he will let you taste one . I bet you’re a money maker you could buy 2 fingers !

    3. Great description, Charlie. MORBID-45 is still my go to description to rile up the Fat Flu Fascist trolls getting paid in vodka and pickles.

    1. @Dave Schultz “Proofs” only exist in math and logic. For starters, you need to learn how to ask the right questions. To find the EVIDENCE that substantiates the claim, you can start wit the NY Times article that brought this to the presidents attention and got him “briefed” on the matter. Another article was just published today about the financial transactions between the Russians and the Taliban. Stop asking other people to educate you and learn to educate yourself.

    2. Yup! And he only has to maintain that it’s a hoax for a few days for his followers to consider it the gospel. Once fox starts calling it a hoax, then fat boy will be in the clear! After that, it won’t matter what info they uncover.

    1. The men and the women in the service of the United States of America are being murdered by Donald Trump and Putin

    2. That US position and place in the world is now decided by what the Kremlin thinks is all over my head. We’re all now crazy all over the world, aren’t we? S..t.

  4. In Trump’s West Point speech, he bragged he would stop the endless, costly foreign wars and bring them home. I certainly hope he didn’t mean bring our soldiers home in body bags. People are just collateral damage to Trump whether it be wars or pandemics. He. Just. Does. Not. Care. Trump is so used to seeing people as collateral damage that it didn’t alarm him that Putin had a bounty on American troops. He probably threw the daily brief in the trash and thought nothing of it. That would explain a lot.

    1. @Anne Rodgers I read an article about trump and one of his old teachers said trump was the dumbest student he ever had.

    2. Nicole Brown Yep, Trump is still the dumbest student; he never learns! Does not care, period.

    3. What would you do about that briefing of you were President..? You geniuses seem to have all the answers.

    4. As a narcissist, Trump can’t conceive of how information affects other people.

      While it’s true that dying is part of a soldier’s trade, there is still something offensive about an enemy state paying to have people murdered. Trump, who is not in danger himself, nor in fear for anybody he loves (that would be Ivanka) doesn’t see bounties on American servicemembers as a big deal, so he probably didn’t listen very closely when he was briefed. Also, he has standing orders: don’t do anything to get Putin upset.

  5. Trump’s tweets as of July 1 are still calling the bounties a “hoax”. He still does not believe his own intelligence services. He is a menace to the US. Putin must be so happy.

    1. @uppgrayyed So, you think Special Forces on the ground are lying to us all? Nice to know what you think of us military types. Typical of the cultist mentality, since it’s no less of a disconnect that that of your mango Mussolini.

    2. He believe he just doesn’t care he love Putin he must go not a good president

    3. Jim, I didn’t say anything about you or the special forces..but if you have some kind of bombshell information about special forces having proof of this allegation that’s news to me.
      Do you have a link, and do you know the names of these special forces people you are talking about?

  6. Now more than ever we need to see this man’s tax returns Russia definitely has something on this man!!!

    1. I hope SCOTUS will give the verdict that Deutsche Bank have to open up their accounts on Trump and the Russian money. And that Trump needs to give his tax returns. It is time that this crook get exposed.

    2. My friend Jack told me there is video of little girls peeing on Trump when he went to Russia years ago. I didn’t believe him and researched it and I believe it’s true now

  7. I pray that the crimes he is committing are adding up against him and that justice WILL be served when he’s OUT of there.

    1. Do you really believe they didn’t brief him? The us intelligence told the British government and the prime minister so to think us shared the information to an ally but didn’t tell the president is unbelievable

  8. Kinda makes one wonder if it’s only the president who the Russians may have dirt on the other Republicans 😐

    1. Republican servers were hacked at the ssme time as the Democrats’ server. They know where the bones are buried. Obviously Russia now has leverage on the Republicans. They as well as Trump, have to comply with Russia.

  9. I’d say Trump is guilty of TREASON if the information is true. Why is he not being held responsible??!

    1. Exactly. Why is he still walking around the White House a free man? Who is the authority to do something about that?

  10. The bounties started when trump SURPRISED killed that guy in Iran after his impeachment…… What a mess!

    1. Yep…I agree….The only thing CHUMP will be remember as is a failure which sums up his entire life including all his kids !

  11. There is one solution, only one : vote Biden in November.
    This is not about liking Biden or not, it’s about throwing the agent orange out of the WH.

    1. Regardless who vote in November, Trump should be in prison by this time. It’s crazy to me that a traitor could be considered a candidate in the most powerful nation in the world.

    2. I do like Biden and I also voted for Obama and Hillary. I would have voted for Sanders. Anyone who voted for Trump is stupid unless you have now seen the light.

    3. Actually there is a FINAL SOLUTION for trump, his family, his administration, AND his MAGGOT supporters.

      A FINAL SOLUTION indeed.

    1. He is deflecting at the highest extent! He needs to resign because apparently he is not doing his job as an effective leader.

  12. The american people are not jumping up and down over his lack of everything and he is turning on US all. He needs to be out NOW not LATER.

    1. Stephanie Reynolds , I agree with you . It seems like all we do is write comments or tweet . Comments coming out is ” this is a disgrace ” , is that it ? It seems like the country is taking all of these in stride . What’s going on ??

    2. @Peter Robertson The reason is simple. We do not have the parliamentary system where you guys can have a vote of “no confidence” & get rid of the clown. Our options are Impeachment(Done) & removal by the Senate(failed), the vote, the 25th amendment due to illness, incapacitation or assassination.

    3. @Pete Lind Yeah, a few years earlier Reagan & Oliver North were secretly selling weapons to Iran VIOLATING a Congressional arms embargo following their release of America Embassy workers in Tehran held in captivity for 444 days. All those Reagan was praising are now our enemies killing American soldiers.

    4. brian bowes Glad we are calling Evangelical Christians a more appropriate title. Although Satan worshippers probably follow some sort of belief other than Greed, so it’s a little bit unfair to actual satanists. Some of them are very fine people…

  13. Everyone needs to see that this isn’t a partisan issue. It is an American issue!
    Trump has betrayed the USA!!!!!!!!!!
