    Whatever, floateth your boateth. Bolton doesn't know crap about this because it came up after he left. In fact as of yet almost all reliable sources indicate that there is damn little to be know except that a raid on a Taliban site in Afghanistan turned up a butt load of money that one of the Taliban fighters said came from Russia. Whether he was just guessing or knew with certainty is unknown at this point and the purpose for which that money was there is also mostly guess work. We've know for years that various actors in and around Afghanistan, including some nominal allies, have been funding the Taliban.
    Now ask your self a question, what makes you think the Taliban are more than happy to kill Americans whenever they can. You don't have to bribe people to do things they already want to do any way.

    I know Bolton was there when this report came to light, obviously he was gone. What Bolton knows is what the process is sopposed to for bringing these types of security issue and potential issues to a POTUS. Bolton has years of experience in multiple administrations.
    What DJT has is a history of Schiesting on our American Intel agencies. DJT has a history of taking the work of the KGB Turd over our American Intel agencies. DJT had the history of crawling on his belly and kissing the feet of the KGB Turd. That was painfully on display in from of the entire world in Helsinki Finland. You must remember Finland the country that DJT "thought" was part of Russia. It is sad disgusting despicable dangerous that a POTUS puts his own EGO over the security of our country, your country, my country by not wanting to see any truth, hear any truth, or react to any truth about what Russia is doing against the USA.

    “The president called this a hoax publicly. Nothing in the briefing that we have just received led me to believe it is a hoax,” Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, the No. 2 Democrat in the House, told reporters after leaving the briefing.

    “There may be different judgments as to the level of credibility [of the reports], but there was no assertion that the information we had was a hoax,” he added.

    House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., another attendee in the briefing, said, “I find it inexplicable in light of these very public allegations that the president hasn’t come before the country and assured the American people that he will get to the bottom of whether Russians are putting a bounty on the heads of American troops.”

    We are reminded EVERY SINGLE DAY what a colossal mistake our fellow citizens made when they elected the Orange Fraud.

    So what - both sides help to kill the other side all the time when on opposite sides of a conflict - so even if the story is true - there is no there there. Ave Joe however has no idea - and so will gulp the anti Russia propaganda and fearmongering kool aid down - a continuation from "Russiagate" and the various nonsensical narratives that came with that one.

    Then we have the question of whether or not the story is even true - partially true - and so on. Look who the sources is - our intelligence community - who has a long demonstrable track record of lying their faces off - along with the creation of propaganda.

    This is doubly true with respect to foreign policy - and triply true with respect to any nation with which we are in conflict. Standard Operating procedure in fact - to be expected.

    So forgive me for not attributing much to Trump hearing or not hearing this in a briefing .. the substance of which is often classified - in which case a President is expected to lie .. none of which has any bearing on the fact that there is no "there there" with respect to this issue - other than a bad case of pot calling kettle black - and calling out something which is normal as abnormal - in a fit of Orwellian doublespeak.

    Never even implied he has no credibility. Your point has not been made, and false claims don't help that.

    "Some of the others" meaning idiot leftists like lying Adam Schiff, incompetent Robert Mueller, Wipe-That-Drive Clinton, I've-Kelt-Down-But-I-Can't-Get-Up Pelosi...? I never said THEY had credibility, either.

    It took years for Kwanzaa to make a dent. Juneteenth sounds just the same. Give it twenty years and if it's still around, then put it on calendars and give the day off without pay because nobody pays me to be white and equality for blacks means they get treated exactly the same. Be white, black, brown, caramel, green, purple, you name it...on your own damn time. Same for me, same for thee.

    Are you trying to say everyone has to know the very same things? Or believe them? Including your claims Trump actually did such things? He stayed informed long enough to get to the White House. My bet is he's still that smart. November will be a true delight, watching the libs here go sailing down Denial.

    Wait....so Trump's buddy Putin is paying to have American soldiers killed and you shrug it off as BUSINESS AS USUAL?

    "Anti-Russian propaganda"??

    Please tell me that you are a Russian sock puppet because I can't believe that Americans have sunk this low in defending the Orange Idiot

    Telling you what reality is - is not shrugging it off - I called a spade a spade - and the fact of the matter is that this is state sponsored propaganda you are promoting - reciting the kook-aid mantra like a cheerleader - dressed up in the stars and stripes.

    That both sides support opposite sides in various a conflict zones is not some big secret - suggesting otherwise is an absurdity.
    While this is a good reason to "Shrug" this off - I do not - as state sponsored propaganda is a concern. It is you who "Shrugs off - the idea that this indeed is State Sponsored Propaganda.

    You said something about a "sock puppet" - Seems like we have a clear cut case of projection.

    Rather than address the claims put forward - Sock Puppets - demonize and name call when encountering information that conflicts with cherished spoon fed narrative aka "necessary illusions" - a book you should read :) "Thought Control in a Democratic Society".

    Don't be silly. He was both uninformed and lying before the election, during the election, and after the election. What in the world makes you think otherwise besides his lies and the lies of right wing media?

    There is a great deal we don’t know about the Russian bounties, and we should be exceptionally cautious. But one thing we can state right now is that President Flim Flam should be taking a lot more of an interest in this and should be saying publicly that he is doing so. The thing is, he's not interested. Not in protecting the troops or in protecting the country. He's just interested in how the story effects him.

    You certainly talk like a sock puppet. I hope you are because if not you are the opposite of a patriot

    You are projecting again. "Projection is a psychological defense mechanism in which individuals attribute characteristics they find unacceptable in themselves to another person"

    All you have come up with so far is name calling and demonization because you have no ability to address the topic.
