Taliban talks story is just another blockbuster lie to distract from the Air Force re-fueling...

scandal, right? By propping up the failing airport next to his failing golf resort in Scotland, and crew paying to stay at his resort, money went directly into trump's pockets.

Yet repugs are all over cable and social media pushing this cancelled Taliban talks bullshit story because of why?

Why are they saying trump cancelled the talks?

inviting enemies we've been at war with for nearly 20 years to camp david just before the 9/11 anniversary. that's like trying to distract from a story about jaywalking by murdering someone.

every time a new outrage pops up there is a thread about how it is meant to "distract" from the previous outrage. Honestly, drumpf is really just that horrible and does terrible things because he's a terrible person, not because he wants to distract from something else.

My question is what is the so-called reason for the cancellation? (Whenever another trump scandal/negative story comes to light a lie/distraction is immediately floated. The pattern is noticeable for those watching. There's no doubt he's a horrible person.).

"Trump invited terrorists who have killed Americans to come to Camp David, but then some of those terrorists...killed more people."

"Meeting's off!"
