Re: Today is another day that the GOP controlled Senate chose not to remove Trump from office.
pay attention to what? i'm not on a bunch of looney political websites, if that's what you mean. i don't subscribe to twitter feeds that send me propoganda bullshit all day. I just listen to the news when other things aren't going on. i was building gates most of the morning and went by the office a few hours this afternoon. but i don't think i have seen any news in a couple of days. they haven't interrupted any broadcasts on the tv tonight with breaking news that the president is guilty of treason.

So having settled on the extremely pathetic defense of trump not knowing about his own intelligence briefings (not true, but staggeringly weak if it were) every article you 'skimmed' confirmed your belief. Strange how that works isn't it. This is why you are so ignorant and ill informed, it's a mental defect. Think of this as a learning opportunity and read any actual news article on it more carefully.Flumper wrote: ↑Sun Jun 28, 2020 1:51 ami was just explaining what i read, skimming a few articles. they were pretty clear about that point, though. i think one of them said that the intelligence gets hundreds of things a day and they have to filter them out on which ones to brief the president on. it said this one didn't meet that test.

unlike your dumb fucking ass, i don't read a news article with a "preconfirmed" belief. And I don't scour the internet for "news" that supports my lopsided view of what I want the world to be like.

It's not the news that supports a lopsided view or a preconfirmed belief.
It's just called the news. It really isn't complicated. You righties are the delusional ones. All news is fake, education is fake, science is fake,. You're all literally retarded human beings

Let me just give you a small hint. If you read a "news" article and it says in that article that President Trump was briefed in March on Russia paying to have our troops killed, then what you are reading isn't news. Its propoganda. Plain and simple.Stapes wrote: ↑Sun Jun 28, 2020 4:40 pm

Could it turn out later that facts emerge that prove he was briefed? Absolutely. But right now those facts don't exist.

It's news, but if there's any chance it might not be true, then the news has an obligation to report that possibility. And if they don't, and later it's found to be untrue, then they'll deserve doubt for any of their future reporting.

Trump denies he was told about it.
Trump is a proven compulsive liar and cannot be taken at his word.
If he was not told about it, there's a serious problem in his administration if they are withholding this type of intelligence from him.
Now that he's been briefed by the New York Times about it, what is he going to do about it?
I see in his Twitter feed that he's critical of everyone but Russia.

Dear Director Ratcliffe and Director Haspel,
As you know, since the origin of the intelligence community, one of its primary purposes has always been force protection. A key priority of our intelligence community in Afghanistan is protecting our forces. And to that end, the community has apparently come upon very disturbing intelligence.
On Friday, press reports alleged that, according to American intelligence officials, Russian military intelligence secretly offered Taliban-connected militants bounties for killing American and coalition troops in Afghanistan.
Press reports also state that the White House National Security Council and other key Administration officials were aware of this intelligence in late March and that the President was briefed. However, although an interagency meeting was reportedly held to discuss potential responses including formal diplomatic complaints and sanctions, no action has been taken for three months. The President now denies being briefed, but the Administration has not denied the existence of the intelligence.
The questions that arise are: was the President briefed, and if not, why not, and why was Congress not briefed.
Congress and the country need answers now. I therefore request an interagency brief for all House Members immediately. Congress needs to know what the intelligence community knows about this significant threat to American troops and our allies and what options are available to hold Russia accountable.
The Administration’s disturbing silence and inaction endanger the lives of our troops and our coalition partners. The President’s refusal to stand up to the Russians also jeopardizes lives in the region, as the Afghan government and the United States are engaged in critical peace negotiations with the Taliban.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent priority for America’s national security.
Sincerely,
NANCY PELOSI
Speaker of the House

Well whaddaya know... The Taliban bounties briefing this afternoon at the WH is for Rs only. Got to get on the same page to figure out what BS to tell the rest of the country.
At least until Trump undermines it the next day. If the Dems had a spine, they would show up and storm the room.

Trump cancelled the talks with Taliban in Sept of 2019.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49642655
"We had a meeting scheduled. It was my idea and it was my idea to terminate it. I didn't even discuss it with anyone else," Mr Trump said as he departed the White House for a political rally in North Carolina.
.
On Monday, the top US negotiator said there was a peace deal "in principle".
As part of the proposal the US would have withdrawn 5,400 troops within 20 weeks, in return for Taliban guarantees that Afghanistan would never again be used as a base for terrorism.
The Taliban is now in control of more territory than at any point before the 2001 US-led invasion. They have refused to hold direct talks with the Afghan government until a timetable for US troop withdrawals is finalised.
More context from that day:
Bolton resigned
IG Atkinson made report to House and Senate Intel committees about whistleblower report that led to impeachment
