Hoyer: 'No Assertion' Intel On Russia Placing Bounties On Soldiers Is A Hoax | MSNBC
I call BS the idea that this is a hoax and I call BS on Trump saying that he was not briefed
Why even invite Republicans and not Democrats to the briefing. This is serious GOP corruption.
I can believe that he wasn’t briefed. Not because nobody tried, but because trump doesn’t want intelligence breifings. He goes out of his way to not attend them
@Lilly Patrick for sure, I was thinking about making vote Blue masks
Being President of the United States means you don’t get to say “I didn’t know.”
@DavidCAdams definitely
Trump is panicking like a pregnant evangelical schoolgirl
🤔😆😆
Vivian Stimpson don’t forget high heels leather shoes
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😁 What a visual 🤣
And how is the boy who got her pregnant behaving??
Republicans are responsible for the worst things to happen to this country.
Conservatives
@Jim Myers Treason should not be dealt with so lightly.
@Rudy PenzaOh, Dave definitely likes the soup.
@Crystal Giddens why would anyone believe anything from ANYONE at that lying ADMINISTRATION
TRUTH
Trump needs to publicly address this issue. Republicans cutting democrats out of intelligence briefings has got to stop. It’s another obstruction of Congress.
Laura Zaboraski They have long been dog-whistling it for sure
7charlierox You are so right — Trump’s pathologies run so deep, and are so entrenched in his every thought and behavior, that he is literally incapable of not only speaking truth, but of even seeing reality. His internal defense system is so maxed out that reality has no way to break thru to puncture his fantasy.
@Crystal Giddens fake news. It’s his job to know
@ckendall67 You actually believe that!? Yikes!!!
@Claudette JYES. OK? Because Republicans are ALWAYS acting like Obstructionists. They did the same thing when Obama was in office. They obstruct & obstruct & obstruct & obstruct & obstruct! Because they want to protect themselves and their precious agenda.
When the President of the US turns his back on the military in order to appease a foreign adversary, that is the definition of treason.
article 25 may be in his future.
@Edward MacLennan The GOP is scared shitless of a convention.
@Wade Stanton No, not right now. When the balance of the Supreme Court is not 5/4 against and all branches of the Government are Dem, then they would be terrified. There are many GOP who have been planning on 86’ing the Constitution on the DL, for a while now. And they still have the Senate Majority and presidency*
@Edward MacLennan The GOP likes the status quo, because it works for them. The GOP is scared of change and a convention’s outcome cannot be predicted. IMHO
Aaron – Calling out our elected officials on their wrongdoing is not “trolling”. It’s holding them accountable and demanding justice for our servicemen. Some conservatives used to find merit in that.
We can’t forget Helsinki, when Emperor Bunker-baby McBoneSpurs stood next to Putin and said I believe Putin over the US intelligence community.
Anyone who believes in Russian lies is a nut
We believe putin than us Intel
Trump doesn’t care about America, never did, only himself. He was programmed to USE America, for his own business affairs, after all, he is a businessman first with no heart. A lot of us saw this right from the start, but the Republicans played foolishly with fire and voted for him anyway.
La Patrie
I’m k
@citizen X You mean, like the Uranium One Fabrication, that Fox News, itself, shut down?
https://www.businessinsider.com/fox-news-shep-smith-hillary-clinton-scandal-the-uranium-one-deal-2017-11
Like that?
@Richard Heikkila What is almost silly, is that literally NO PART of trump’s self professed story, is true. No aspect of him is really what he portrays, and he is not the self made man he pretends to be, the playboy that he wishes he was, or the genius, that simlpy does not exist on the planet, let alone outside of his imagination.
Any veteran who votes for Donald has forgotten why they served. Donnie could care less about you, your service to country or for your fallen comrades in arms.
Aaron ‘too’ stupid, Comrade?
🤣🇺🇸🖕
Trump is the most incompetent oligarch in the history of Russia.
😂😂😂
Wrong!
In the history of Russia, there has never been a person that was able to damage the USA so much, in so little time.
@England Calling exactly
😂😂😂😂nice one.
@geheimschriver You can’t even call him a double agent, he’s clearly a Russian asset engaged to bring America to her knees.
Clearly Trump knew. The questions now should be: What will congress or the senate do? Will republicans just remain silent as usual? 🧐🤔
@Andrew Mitchell Somebody should explain to Moscow Mitch that all those Russian dollars that go into bounties will not be invested in Kentucky to secure his re-election.
Edit: misspelled Kentucky, thanks Rosalyn.
they will remain silent, because they know they will not be reelected, without the support of the trumpazee’s, Yes, some will lose seats to dems, but without the trumpanzee’s they have no chance of holding onto the POWER they crave
They will remain silent every single time. The Republicans in the senate, and the Trumpanzee’s are traitors to the US. They’ll defend Trump on this, as well as on anything he ever does, JUST to spite liberal Americans and keep them underfoot.
@Dozo G Kentucky. He’s from Kentucky…
@Rosalyn Jeffery That’s what I thought, then I looked it up and picked the first city listed on his Wikipedia page. He was born in Alabama. He represents Kentucky.
You re absolutely right.
Republican have sold this country out to the Russians to line their own pocket$$$$
And to own the libs. They will shoot themselves in the head just to own the libs.
@moomoofish 1 No wonder you conservatives love the Confederate flag. It is the flag of treason. And you moomoofish are a traitor.
Any veterans paying attention to this crap and your insides are boiling, me too.
Yes, my family is military. We are OVER TRUMP!!! It was first brought to attention by our troops over there! Trump is accusing our troops of lying???!!! He thinks it’s just intelligence, no, it was brought to attention by our troops. Now Trump is going to say the Military times is a fake like CNN or MSNBC OR EVEN FOX. Trump is absolutely a traitor!! Omfg!!
Which is worse:
That the President of the US was briefed and did nothing.
Or that he wasn’t briefed at all.
Both scenarios reek of treason and/or incompetence.
Or he couldn’t be trusted with the intel
Trump believes his master Putin than our 17 intelligence agency’s. That’s the definition of the word TRAITOR.
Putin lied and will be lying.
@Pioneer Nut Liar in Chief lied too. Swampy Trump have lied more than 80,000 times. He put Pinocchio into shame. Off course Putin lies too. Both are liars.
The problem with lying is that sometimes the truth won’t cooperate.
“Hoax” is Trumpspeak for “yes, I did that horrifying thing, but don’t believe your lying eyes”
haha
Every single thing trump has called a hoax, has proved true, and proved Barr, and everything related to trump through the DOJ, false.
Any veteran who votes for Donald has forgotten why they served. Donnie could care less about you, your service to country or for your fallen comrades in arms.
😂😂you got it
derry667dingo Also “fake news” is conman-speak for the actual subjective unflattering truth.
Trump is the most unpatriotic President in the history of America!
Just say it – “traitor”…
B Smith: what do You mean by “the most unpatriotic”?
What exactly does unpatriotic mean to You? It is meaningless and You know it.
History will not be kind to Trump and his cronies Gop
I just hope Trump can do *something* good so it won’t be so bad.
Any veteran who votes for Donald has forgotten why they served. Donnie could care less about you, your service to country or for your fallen comrades in arms.
@The Blade Trump has opened the eyes of so many people just this year. I hope people are finally able to see the truth.
@The Blade — how could any veteran support a draft dodging cowardly POS like Trump in the first place
Ones again Trump is lying to the American people.
So what else is new!
James, that’s putting it nicely. Trump is complicit in getting US soldiers killed.
Trump: “if it’s Intel on Russia I don’t want to hear it.”
Trump is a Russian asset.
Moscow
Agent
Governing
America
All roads lead to Trump’s creditors in Russia, and Vladimir Putin.
And an unreleased tape that he asked Comey about, and then repeatedly told Comey, didn’t exist.
