What To Know About Allegations That Russia Bribed The Taliban To Kill U.S. Troops | MSNBC
After he leaves the office, hanging Trumps presidential portrait will be akin to erecting a statue to John Wilkes Booth.
@Claudette J I think most of the Confederate statues are just statues and most people think that they’re just statues not dog whistles , but if the people vote to take them down take them down and put them in a museum somewhere, but all this crap about the facing Federal monuments those people are getting arrested
9 people have already been charged and they’re looking for four more
They should put it up so that it can be ripped down by BLM.
@Claudette J Trump is more like Jefferson Davis, the Confederate States President.
Trump portrait will be hung in the bunker. With a cover over it. Bunker boy
Hang it in the bunker
The spotlight of the Presidency reveals who he truly is. This is incredibly scary stuff.
Sivakumar Tp only if they don’t love the troops or the flag. Like someone told me a long time ago if walk like duck, quack like a duck , and walk like a duck it a duck. Trump has been the same person from day one about self. I need those Trump fans to wake up and see the duck.
Yes be very scared we don’t know what trump has planned for the u.s. with the help of his boy Puttin him and Mitch McConnell- Barr dirt balls
This is why it didn’t bother him when people were dropping dead from this pandemic. I promise you this traitor in the White House is a killer of the American people…he needs to go before more innocent lives are lost. #presidenttraitor
It also speaks volumes about those who are still supporting him
We are getting dissenting opinions because they are lying.
“He was not personally briefed on that matter”. Was she trying to get technical in her answer. Her answer could very well meant that “he was given a written briefing/report, but as you know Trump don’t ever read, he failed to read that report or any report, ever”.
Either Tump’s White House doesn’t think MAGA-nanny is intelligent nor sharp enough to speak to the US press & people without using an elementary school binder of pre-printed “answers”, just as Trump….
Or MAGA-nanny asked for the pre-printed “answers” in an elementary school binder so MAGA-nanny can say, “I never lied, I read aloud other people’s words, not my own.” semantics, just as Trump does….
Cards w one inch letters.
Many churches received Ppp money. If they dont pay taxes how is this right?
Mr. Casillas I think it is more like he owes Putin money and wants to expand more in Russia. $ before Americans.
@Teresa S Blackmail as in Christopher Steel’s so called debunked Russia Hoax. FOR 4 YEARS HE HAS NOT REPUDIATED IT BY HIS ACTIONS. IN THAT HOTEL THEY HAD WHATEVER SET UP KNOWING HOW PERVERTED trump was.
Crickets from Republicans who claim total patriotism… until something like this comes out involving their dear leader, which threatens everything they say they stand for. Then: *silence.*
There’s no such thing as a patriotic republican .
Huh? This started bc of a Times article. Lol. The Department of Defense just said the Intel wasn’t credible. Lol. Do you understand how many threats and so called intel comes into the white house a day? CNN and Democrats once again blowing something up. Lol.
T Fox — this is the problem. They did NOT say the information wasn’t credible, but I understand you Trumplings love to make something up and run with it. All their spokesman said was that to date they have not corroborated this evidence, but they are continuing to evaluate this intelligence. This ignores the fact that the Director of National Intelligence did NOT deny these reports, he only stated that Trump and Pence didn’t receive a briefing on this (laughable claim nonetheless).
Even Trump’s press secretary did not outright deny but said that Trump didn’t _personally_ receive a briefing on this. Hedging language to be intentionally misleading.
Republican lawmakers themselves just came out and CONFIRMED that US intelligence developed information about Russian military operations against US troops in Afghanistan.
Please spread your bullsh*t lies in the FOX comments section instead.
Yup
Bolton reportedly also gave him a verbal briefing. The Army also reported today in their newspaper that he was briefed by the military. So, three?
Bottom line is that Putin is supporting the Taliban with money. Wether it’s a bounty or not.
Iran is giving them the money Obama sent in cash.
Bottom line is that Putin is getting what he desires, and nobody seems to have a problem with it.
Yes and America supported isis that’s even worse
Trump knew but sided with Putin because after all the Russians got him elected in 2016 🧐🤔
@Chuck Nelson Hoping William H got banned for hate speech. I’ve reported him regularly. We need to get the Russian and Chinese bots off American social media. They won’t let America to use their social medi we should reciprocate.
@Q Wins In 4 months I will be drinking your tears.
He will say he asked Putin and Putin said he didn’t do it, so he will believe Putin over his own intelligence.
@Gordon Rebel Yeah, he also owes Putin a shitload of money, I wonder if that has anything to do with it ?
https://youtu.be/XkgA2rUAY-o. <<< let Malcolm X explain the Democrats Socialist Plantation .... this is Leftist Manipulation, #WALKWAY
It’s not the only thing that he didn’t pay attention to in February!
HE IS INCAPABLE OF DOING ANYTHING AGAINST PUTINEE.
Virus came to S. Korea at same time usa got it, with leadership they have less than 300 deaths and no failed economy. Dump the Drumpf.
If we had trump as president in world war 2 instead of harry truman, we would all be speaking japanese, and german today
@science wins thanks. Proud to have chatted with u. Farewell
@science wins oh yea, i wrote a poem for trump. Wrong is strong but not for long
@Paul Shermin 👍🎸🎶
@Paul Shermin If Ronald Reagan acted like a cowboy donnie is acting like a 2 year old. Like the failed business man he is.
@Paul Shermin Christopher Steel and Mueller were right. I REALLY BELIEVE Muelker Report if totally unredacted would sink. TRUMP.
So, just so im clear on this…Trump prefers oral when it has anything to do with Putin?
Obama likes to get Fisted by Michelle ( aka ” Big Mike”)
@Gary Quarty triggered for trump🎺🦆💔⌛🤡
@mohamedtowelhead projectionist 📽
Trump is the dicksucker.
Trump still didn’t Condemn Russia
now that the Report is Out. Shows
his Loyalty to Putin……😏☝
while trump is getting our soldiers killed he’s playing golf and professing his love for putin
@Gregg Arsenault Lol!!! Great one!!! My contribution to the sanity of our nation is. TRUMP LIED, PEOPLE DIED!!
@Joel Buchanan trumpian education hard at work
You voted for this FAKE PRESIDENT, shame on you and the American voter, shame.
@Ethan Park Short to the point and perfect!!! You could not be more spot on sir!!!!
@Lyle L i predicted to all i could that trump would be a terrible president but what i did not know was how dangerous he could be
Trump had no evidence that COViD 19 was deliberately started by China but has no problem calling it Kung flu. With Russia Trump needs solid information to act. Trump is a hypocrite.
@Chuck Nelson no. I love talking to idiots. Makes them feel like they have a brain. Sometimes I let them win an argument. Say hi to your parents. Brother and sister I’m guessing.
@Everrett Kleen
Oh, you’re back!
Still projecting I see.
And still deleting posts.
I guess I can’t really blame you.
Since I’ve been absolutely destroying your your misspelled make believe jibber jabber and childish insults, that you so eloquently present in your 3rd grade prose.
You really should have stayed in school and and picked up that SpEd diploma.
Clearly, running on nothing but an extra chromosome isn’t working out for you.
Delete away, little lady!
@Everrett Kleen
I’m sure that whenever you talk to idiots, they feel smart.
It makes me feel like I’m punching a kitten.
Who knew that would be so fun?!
trump and his followers…
@Chuck Nelson later loser. You’re boring. Proof of your idiocy. Bye.
We have a President that does not like bad news and is illiterate , who also admires Dictator’s
Trump could brag that he himself told putin he was ok with this and his supporters would still sceam USA USA USA and whine “what about Hillary ” when confronted
Sadly, all sane and decent people knew that before he was elected.
Trump is a Manchurian Candidate. He is owned by China, Saudi.Arabia, and Russia. Look at these three countries’ interactions with EACH OTHER since ~ January of 2020. For example, Saudi Arabia and Russia had a “public squabble” over (essentially) ~who could give away the most.oil at a loss~ which, when the affects of lockdowns compounded the problems facing the .flooded oil markets, left the U.S. Petro-Dollar in tatters. God only knows what else they have in store for us. This isn’t over, it has barely begun…
You have exactly the President that you deserve and that reflects the people you are.
A narrow-minded, dumb and obese people.
@MandelbrothFractal Killer STFU
If this news winds up being corroborated, it’s going to sink Trump. Thing is, a variety of things should have already sunk him, but here are, thanks to a moronic 35% of this country and spineless and soulless Republicans in office.
@Richard Cogbill you have any links that this is being collaborated?
@Richard Cogbill we need links. Please share so everyone can see. Thank you!
He should already be sunk, we all know his love for Putin. Why would we notify the British
And not notify tRump, makes no sense.
The fact that he did nothing in the beginning of pandemic and didn’t speak to g.floyds family should sink him .tha fact that he was involved with Russia to win should have sunk him .fact that hes a racist bigot should sink him fact that hes stealing exploiting this country for personal gain should sink him.but this so called greatest country support this racist.unbeleivable what the country’s true impulse is .its terrible awful disgusting hateful paranoid fearful.and unamerican
Trump is treasonous…
Aahh, that was the mistake – they gave Trump a WRITTEN brief.
@jeff mcgowan hard core supporter huh? What you fail to realize it that trump has lied about so many other things to the American people. Now that might not be his fault since he probably in the initial stages of dementia and just forgets things… but since he is the potus that doesn’t excuse what he says. I don’t understand how you people can still even trust him. Not saying i trust any democratic leader either.. they all liars
Should have drawn a cartoon.
Marc F. Nielssen jeff is a no content bot.
SnowLepard92 Jeff is a troll bot, no content on his channel.
@jeff mcgowan
Nobody wants to take anything from you. On the contrary, I would love to give you a functioning brain.
If this isn’t enough to have him removed. All hope is lost for this country.
Then all hope is lost for Shithole America. Sorry
Hope is lost? Lost a long time ago.
We’ll be removing him in November, by voting. I agree though not soon enough.
The hope has been lost. Your country has never been great, the only thing that guys had that was strong was the military and now sadly the will be slaughtered because the citizens of you so Called great land elected a reality Star as leader. Good job America
Nico Reveco Americans are fake nationality
They are migrants from everywhere but
North America
You can’t believe a thing Trump says.
After over 20,000 lyes from the President to the American People: Who are you going to believe?
One question. “Is Donald Trump fit for office?” If not Remove him stop messing around 🙄
Allan Gregory remove him, impeach him again, convict him and incarcerate him and everyone who backed him!
Everrett Kleen Walkaway’s a pathetic joke, you sad clown….is this REALLY all you have??
He is not fit to work in a mail room. (no offence meant to the peeps who do a valuable job therein).
Neil Jordan amen
@Wendy Carney-Hatch and I live in the UK and boris Johnson is trying the same tactics!!!
He just doesnt want to do his job , just enjoying perks of being President.
So then now I wonder what his spineless little puppets like Mitch McConnell & Lindsey Graham have to say….there’s absolutely no defending this. What a traitor!! Republicans please wake up!!!
allegedly the money he can steal
mohit barhate, he’s incapable of doing anything but lie, cheat and break laws with proficiency.
This paints him not only as an incompetent but also a traitor.
Trump isn’t a traitor he’s very loyal to his master Comrade Putin.
