    BABALOOO! Trump declares himself cross with Vlad...

    Can we hope that the revelation (suppressed for months) that Russian intelligence has been paying the Taliban bounties for dead GI's will rouse Trump to irritation?

    Russia Secretly Offered Afghan Militants Bounties to Kill U.S. Troops, Intelligence Says

    The Trump administration has been deliberating for months about what to do about a stunning intelligence assessment.

    (Spoiler alert: prolly not, but he'll ferret out the leaker fer sure....)

    Image may contain: 2 people, suit, text that says 'Puty, you have some 'splainin to do.'

    Too bad this news was not out before the West Point debacle....the cadets could have eloquently turned their backs (and mooned??).

     

    Cue Trump accepting Putin's denial in 5...4...3...

    Try to keep up, Putin denied several days ago and Bolton is an evil warmonger and certified member of the Deep State conspiracy who does not deserve our time of day.

    More recently the Deep State conspiracy has been yugely enlarged and is attacking on many foreign policy fronts.

    Not to mention his prolific porn career under the Harry Reems pseudonym (the moustache does not lie...)

    From the annals of cognitive dissonance/persistence of belief..

     

    While he does not usually vote, he described himself as a supporter of President Trump.

    “I am a Republican and I am a Trump supporter,” he said. “But there would be no way he didn’t know about it if Russians were paying off these cowards like mafia payoff hit men.

    INCREDIBLY INTRIGUING twist on topic (and I must admit it is one that definitely verifies my biases about him!):

    Why is Trump trying to destroy Fox News via Twitter, while repeatedly propping up the pro-Kremlin One America News Network?

    Why do the Trumps do anything? Greed.

    Donald Trump Jr. is connected to a group trying to buy OAN—and if Trump loses in November, OAN will become Trump TV.

    PS/ What this means, of course, is that instead of protecting our soldiers abroad or communities at home threatened by a pandemic, Trump is sitting in the White House residence plotting his future business moves. Don't get it twisted—every American can drop dead for all he cares.

    Glad I saw it before I wasted too much time on other interpretations of any current Fox bashing by Trump....will take them with doses of salt
