I didn't say it applied to you homeslice. Relax. Lots of people have served in the middle east post 9/11. One of my friends did 6 months in Diego Garcia. She complained it was the worst duty ever..I can only imagine the horror.

You said the ones you know and then likened it to the others you mentioned. I still go to my squadron reunions and other organized events with those that I served. Trump isn't very popular

Biden is like Sandusky

This is a dumb comment. It serves no purpose other than to lessen the crimes of Sandusky.

I was called a hypocrite in an above post for criticizing Trump's Vietnam War-era military draft dodge, but still supporting Biden (and maybe the Sandman guy had a point). However, it is just as hypocritical for Trump supporters to be critical of Joe Biden's inappropriate touching of females when "Mr. Grab 'em by the Pu$$y" himself, has also been accused of the same thing. Not to mention Trump walking into the dressing room of a Miss America Pageant while young female contestants were changing their clothes, and then later boasting about it to Howard Stern, and arrogantly saying that he was allowed to invade their privacy, because he owned the pageant. Combined with his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, when he also once referred to Epstein as a "terrific guy" who just likes his women on the young side... and this isn't a winning battle for Team Trump.

Indeed, there aren't many attacks against these two guys, which can't be equally applied to both men.

White House aware in 2019 of Russian bounties on American troops in Afghanistan, officials say

Top officials in the White House were aware in early 2019 of classified intelligence indicating Russia was secretly offering bounties to the Taliban for the deaths of Americans, a full year earlier than has been previously reported, according to U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the intelligence.


The assessment was included in at least one of President Donald Trump’s written daily intelligence briefings at the time, according to the officials. Then-national security adviser John Bolton also told colleagues he briefed Trump on the intelligence assessment in March 2019.

If true and Trump did nothing and in fact sought to bring Russia into the G7, I don't see how any pro military voter from any party can vote for him again. What a complete betrayal that would be.

Maybe there is something to this, but I discredit anything Bolton says before he utters it. Zero cred.

So are you saying there shouldn't have been years of investigations about Benghazi or there should be years of investigations about this?

I didn’t comment either way.

But, that was a F’ed up deal and heads should have rolled, but we all knew they wouldn’t.

You said that Trump did not want to remove already existing sanctions against Russia at the time he took office. That is a lie. Almost as soon as Trump took office, his top aides told the State Department to develop proposals to lift penalties on Russia that had been imposed by the Obama Administration. Those penalties were imposed for Russia's intervention in Ukraine and from meddling in the 2016 election.

For a man so rarely factual, you throw the term 'lie' around pretty recklessly.

I linked the Reuters piece depicting that very time frame and the false allegation being made by Democrats. here's another:
AP FACT CHECK: Pelosi lacks facts to back up Trump criticism
By MATTHEW LEE and CALVIN WOODWARD February 4, 2017

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats didn’t wait to assemble the facts before they accused President Donald Trump of rewarding “thugs” in the Russian intelligence service by lifting certain sanctions. The facts don’t support them.

The Trump administration on Thursday revised sanctions on the Russian intelligence service, FSB, to correct an unintended consequence of broader penalties placed on Russia by President Barack Obama. That prompted a hair-trigger response from Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the House Democratic leader, and others.

The Dec. 29 sanctions imposed by the Obama administration were not intended to ban the U.S. sale of cellphones, tablets and other consumer electronics to Russia. But they had that effect, by barring U.S. firms from getting the permits needed from the FSB to sell in Russia. The FSB has regulatory as well as intelligence responsibilities.

You seem to have no sense of proportion or objectivity. You swallow - immediately - this new meme and when all indications are that it's an unverified, non-actionable rumor, you reach back into the threadbare 'Putin Puppet' memes. It's like trying to converse with a child.

Use better judgment against the urges of your bias, and this won't happen so often.

You just BELIEVE it aligns with fact. Trump has been a disaster for our foreign policy.

Really? So, yanking promised defensive weapons from two NATO member nations - because Putin wouldn't like that - isn't "disaster"'. Instead of blankets and good wishes, providing Ukraine with *actual* lethal weaponry to defend against Putin is a "disaster". Compelling Europe to allocate more funding for her defense; "disaster". Being proven right all along about the threat from China...."disaster". Not listening to the 1980s "calling for their foreign policy"? - "disaster". Not starting another war like prior presidents..."disaster", too, eh?

So, no, I actually substantiate remarks and show how they align with facts. BELIEF plays no part.

LOL! You are pompous and verbose. You also give the pretense of an erudition which you clearly don't possess. I wasn't referring to anything that Nancy Pelosi has said. I'm not sure why she is relevant to anything, nor do I care. It seems you crafted my post to meet the response which you wanted to give.

My source is an interview with Michael Isikoff, the Chief Investigative Correspondent for Yahoo News. The interview was posted on NPR.org on June 2, 2017 and it is entitled "Trump Administration Made Secret Efforts to Ease Russia Sanctions". The interview was conducted by NPR's Robert Siegel.

"Pompous and verbose" - translation: "Stop doing facts, man!"
No, Pelosi is used as an example of how Democrats made false claims during the very period you reference..."LOL".

You mean the Isikoff that worked with DNC's Ukrainian operative A. Chalupa in March 2016 on the Manafort-Russia angle? You mean early-adopting, DNC/Clinton funded dossier-pimp Isikoff? Sept. 2016 Carter Page's shadowy "opened up private communications with senior Russian officials"and cited unnamed "intelligence reports" as the source of his information, Isikoff? I'm breaking the Russia-Seth Rich conspiracy story that was already broken, See my new book! - Isikoff?

“I think one of the reasons people were so surprised by the Mueller finding is that it undercuts almost everything that was in the dossier, which postulated a well-developed conspiracy between the Russians and the Trump campaign,” he told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes. - that previously self-assured Isikoff?

I read the article back when this meme was occurring; here: How the Trump administration’s secret efforts to ease Russia sanctions fell short

Yeah, Isikoff has gotten so much right during four years of Russia web-spinning.
