"Our country's done bad things too". "You think we don't put bounties on Russian troops?"

"Don't be a baby".

You know that these are the answers Donnie Dipshit wants to give to the Russian bounty on our troops story.

You know he's just dying to go there.

Seems all the press would have to do is ask him about it enough times.

He's already excused Russian interference by saying something similar, as if our country and Russia are just the same.

You know he's dying to excuse his treasonous response to the news that Putin was putting mob hits on our troops, by claiming that "we do the same".

I want cameras rolling when he eventually gets to the answer he really wants to give regarding this story.

It may be the final nail in his political coffin.

And the beauty of it is... all you have to do is get him to say what he truly believes.

I totally agree that it would hurt Trump if he mentioned it, though, especially if he seems to be excusing the paid killing of our troops.

Advocating for membership in G-8 and dropping sanctions while there’s a bounty on US troops.

... for how he plans to retaliate NOW that he knows about it. (We all know that he was aware weeks ago, but let's see him squirm.)

I don’t foresee any press conferences until he thinks it’s safe to emerge from his bunker, and his surrogates are under strict orders to gish-gallop their way past any inconvenient questions.

"He can nail jello to the wall"

As one of the bullets on his FITREP.

Thanks for making me remember that.

UNSAT means unsatisfactory, which is not a property that is desirable to maintain.

I don't care if it's an immoral war and America is criminal.
Aiding in the death of American soldiers is unforgivable.
