Imperative Congress get to the bottom of recent media reports that Russian GRU units in Afghanistan have offered to pay the Taliban to kill American soldiers with the goal of pushing America out of the region.

I expect the Trump Administration to take such allegations seriously and inform Congress immediately as to the reliability of these news reports.

Leftwing mobs are destroying cities across America. But Nancy Pelosi and Basement Biden haven’t said a word.

Why are they silent about the violence?

Wm McKinley sat on his front porch and didn’t campaign and was elected President. So it is possible for Biden to sit in his basement and not campaign and be elected President

This is great news. As a former manufacturer, I have long believed there are multiple ways to achieve your full human potential. A college degree is only one of many paths

Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have not commented at this time

MoscowMitch has not responded

Devin Nunes, Jim Jordan, Marsha Blackburn, Mike Crapo, Roy Blunt, Matt Gaetz, John Ratliff, Lee Zeldin, Tom Cotton, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Doug Collins, Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski, Lamar Alexander, John Thune, John Bolton, that motherfucker Pompeo, and Susan Collins have not commented on the murder of US troops

[ResistantAmerican17]

1. Susan Collins concerned that the information leaked.

[Rebl2]

22. Will she

ask trump if he knew about this and did nothing?

[Arazi]

2. A sternly worded letter. That'll do it 🙄

[mnmoderatedem]

3. Yeah

Uh Lindsey? You been paying attention the last 3 1/2 years??

[Cosmocat]

4. IF this happened under a D POTUS ...

[sop]

8. You mean something like Benghazi?

[Catherine Vincent]

35. Totally agree!

The Fox News anchors would be foaming at the mouth. Fvckin hypocrites!

[gratuitous]

5. "I expect"

Well, that will certainly light a fire under Trump's ass! I wonder if the administration knew about this program while they were trying to get Russia included in the G-7 conference?

[leftieNanner]

18. Yes. He did know.

He was notified by Intelligence that this had happened and he subsequently requested to restore Russia's position in the G7. He was given a menu of options to deal with this - sanctions etc. - and he has yet to respond.

[tblue37]

34. The reports say Trump knew before those efforts. nt

[dalton99a]

6. Lindsey knows what Trump will say

[Eyeball_Kid]

13. Lindsey will play golf with Trumpy and,

miraculously, Trumpy will SCORE A HOLE IN ONE!

[PCIntern]

15. Eighteen of them In a riw

Even the par5’s.

[Miguelito Loveless]

7. Shut up, Lindsey!

You will be fine with this in a week l, and praising Trump and Putin the following week, you shameless toad.

[Iliyah]

9. STFU . . .

What about the weapons being sold from this effed up administration to gawd knows who.

republicans can care less about the USA nor her citizens and soldiers.

[gibraltar72]

10. Harrrumph.

[Grins]

11. Hey, Lindsey!

What do you think your former BFF, John McCain, would have said after hearing that? About a president who was briefed on the assassination of America soldiers and still expressed his desire to bring Russia back into the G8?

[winetourdriver01]

16. This

That was the very first thought that crossed my mind as well.

[RainCaster]

12. Lady G is looking for some more election funds

Just like Susan Collins.

[phylny]

14. Hey Lindsey,

we can forgive almost ANYTHING except sex with minors. So, if you haven't had sex with minors, come clean and grow a backbone.

[oswaldactedalone]

17. Hey Lindsey

Take some time off from sniffing Trump’s ass, and go fuck yourself.

[NRaleighLiberal]

19. pic if Lindsey and Susan

20. We aided the Mujahideen when Russia invaded them.

Now Russia is supporting the Taliban. We are making the same mistakes in Afghanistan that we made in Vietnam. We should not have gone into Vietnam and we should not have gone into Afghanistan. And the US and Russia should not have partitioned Korea.

[Mersky]

21. He was supposed to take that seriously in MARCH.

BEFORE his chat with putin on June freakin’ 1st and...

BEFORE us only learning about this through leaks to the media.

putin killed Americans and then gets a seat at the G7? I don’t think so.

Ditched out on coronavirus preparedness, so China would do him a favor and help his campaign?

Who is the enemy of the people, Lindsey? Hmmmm? Who’s killing Americans, Lindsey? Cuz it sure looks like it’s tRump, putin, and GOP bootlickers like you, Lindsey.

[Python boot]

23. Helsinki Plan

Looks like he is providing cover for the rethuglican roll out of the Helsinki Plan.

[Lonestarblue]

24. In response to Kevin McCarthy's comment about left-wing mobs.

The Guardian has an interesting article reporting a 25-year study of domestic terrorism in the US. Haven’t read the report mentioned in the article, but I think I’ll send this article and the report to McCarthy. Perhaps we all should. And to SG Barr who, like Trump, is fixated on the amorphous antifa.

“Violence by far-right groups and individuals has emerged as one of the most dangerous terrorist threats faced by US law enforcement and triggered a wave of warnings and arrests of people associated with those extremist movements.

The most recent in-depth analysis of far-right terrorism comes from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

In a report released last week, the Escalating Terrorism Problem in the United States, CSIS analyses 25 years of domestic terrorism incidents and finds that the majority of attacks and plots have come from the far right.
...
The report shows the far left has been an increasingly negligible source of attacks since the mid 2000s.”

[aggiesal]

25. And today Lady G will say ...

"After speaking with the WH over my comments yesterday, there is nothing to see here. The administration has already agreed to fund Putin to cover his costs, with the $14B not used for coronavirus PPE."

Do I need the sarcasm thingee?

[usaf-vet]

30. Why would you need the sarcasm thingee. The truth is just that.

Oh! and let's not forget the other outrage. From yesterday's new dump.

Trumps want the SCOTUS to kill the ACA completely. Denying millions of Americans' health care.

26. Blow it out your ass, Lindsey.

[FOLLOW-UP COMMENTS WELCOMED.]

[MontanaMama]

27. Oh Lindsey..l

the story isn’t that Putin offered a bounty on American soldier’s heads...the story is that the pResident was okay with that and, you are too apparently. THAT’S the fucking story you ass hat.

[usaf-vet]

28. This coming from the dunce you can't read and WON'T listen to experts.

Trump's executive order directs the federal government to totally revamp and update its hiring process by prioritizing skills above educational background.

Translation: Experienced grifter will be given priority status for jobs in Trump's gang.

[lsewpershad]

29. Ha ha whatever you

say little Lindsey.

[dem4evah]

31. or SOME would say...

Little (Miss) Lindsey

[NNadir]

32. It's a little late in the game for Leningrad Lindsay to pretend he cares about Americans.

If he ever had a soul - and it's doubtful he ever had a shred of dignity or integrity - he sold it cheap to Satan.

Trump could shoot American Soldiers wearing a Russian Colonel's uniform on 5th avenue and Lindsay would say nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing.

That's all the traitor Lindsay has for his country. Nothing.

[0nirevets]

33. Sure Lindsay, we believe you're suddenly a patriot. Actually, no we don't.

Whichever way the wind blows, that's your position. Until it's not, then you stand firmly on the opposite position. Or if Orange Face says something then that's your position.
