Has there been any proof at all shown that any Taliban leaders were actually even contacted

[brewens]

about meeting with Trump? It seems to me that the media is just pretending Trump is telling the truth this time. They should be demanding proof, which should be easily provided.

1. Well, there's this. It's pretty definitive...

3. Nope. Just another example of Lard Butt making shit up.

6. I suppose someone is trying to verify that and will call bullshit eventually. It's just like the

Chinese phone call about trade that never happened.

Trump said they were "coming tonight" on Saturday I believe, the first we heard about it. I'm pretty sure Taliban leaders don't have offices in downtown Kabul and just cab to the airport and get on a plane to come here. I'd say more like coming down out of the mountains to meet an arranged military escort, then to a base or Kabul to fly them out. If all of that was going on, it should be easily confirmed.

4. I thought it was a fractured fairy tale from the very beginning.

If it was a real thing, chances are Don got scared. Grifters gotta grift. Bad guys gotta be bad guys. They might have done the world a favor and slit his throat.

7. I doubt it

And likely this was done to redirect attention for a pr event and to make himself look better, but again it has backfired and all made up from trump.

9. It sounds like it was discussed and they tried to talk Trump out of it, but that doesn't mean

it was happening and Trump called it off. I'd love to hear the story of how and who contacted the alleged Taliban leaders. I bet they know enough English to say WTF? Followed by uproarious laughter! Some special forces guys probably had to climb a freakin' mountain shaking their heads all the way.

10. Could be they were going for a redux of this

P.R. stunt but couldn't get a mint to make some new ones in time!
