Every Dem should be screaming about this the way Hannity and Rush and all of them were 24/7! Dems should hold 100 hearings on this just like the GOP did with Benghazi. Unfortunately it doesn't have the ring to it that Benghazi had. There has to be some soldiers and generals who are infuriated by this that should be used in ads.

(7,432 posts)He was COMPLIANT with a foreign adversary in the targeting and killing of our soldiers. He is in command of those soldiers and is duty-bound to protect them.
What kind of person does this?
I look at what I just wrote and I dont believe it. Trumpy is a lot of things. THIS shows is naked cowardice. THIS shows that no one could ever be worse. THIS shows that electing him was an abject national failure.

(13,776 posts)He found out about this and still carried Putins water by trying to get Russia into the G7/8 and by reducing the number of US troops in Germany. Still doing Putins bidding after being informed of the bounty on our soldiers. Weak, pathetic, and treacherous.

And you're right, Dems better be on EVERY SUNDAY SHOW, and LIVID, or I'ma be PISSED.

If we cant prove it happened and he knew it wont matter.

but no.
Rs dont give s shit about this.
They have spent their lived hiding behind "the troops" but everytime a moment arises to actually stand up gor them they go silent.
At this very moment their only concern is November playning THEIR rules. Which means stonewalling the shit out of this.

(25 posts)tell the truth on any subject. Unwilling to take responsibility for anything that might diminish his chance of
winning the November election. Under educated, Under developed emotionally. Uncaring about any human need other than his own. Unworthy of the life he has robbed from his fellow man.
Unholy and worthy of eternal damnation and removal from society immediately.
My condolences to every family that greaves a loved one lost due to the actions/inactions of this
craven rat fuck bastard.

Sgent
(5,857 posts)why Bengazhi was such an issue. Four diplomats deployed to a very dangerous place, and shit went bad. Are you going to never ask a diplomat to be in a dangerous place again? They didn't want to go in with Marine company because it would screw up their diplomatic mission.
Doctor's without borders, USAID, and countless others put themselves in danger regularly for the benefit of mankind. You try to minimize risks but that's not always an option.

(26,587 posts)I believe that our party still needs to figure out how this shit works, and learn how to use the weapons that the Rs hand to us on a silver platter.
I'm not terribly optimistic though.
duforsure
(11,885 posts)While forcing others to lie for him to cover this up with. I think numerous people know trumps claim he wasn't informed is a lie, and pence also, and their denials will be exposed as lies as more gets exposed on trump and pence. More whistle blowers coming out? I expect it, while trump threatens them , which will show his real intent is to prevent the truth from exposing him . More will come out showing he knew, and prove even more he's lying. trump will then change his story, then try to direct attention onto something else. He'll try to use Barr to go after them with threats of prison.
