      What I was referring to was your claim that "We're taking steps appropriately." If (the plural) you were doing so this nightmare, which has hardly begun, would not have gotten to this point.
      I'm not responsible for all of Texas, sweetie. My sphere of influence has been doing quite well.

        I'm not interested in walking you through how you like to say things which are ambiguous and then insisting that you actually meant something different from what you clearly said (almost like *another* poster on this board). Your stance against what experts would call reasonable precautions wrt COVID45 is well documented. Just a few weeks ago you quoted your wife's refusal to wear a mask. One would assume your purpose wasn't to criticize her behavior.

          Yet here you are.

          Any "news" yet, or just more of these childish rants?

              Yes, here's the news. In the week since he learned that Russia put bounties on American heads Benedict Donald has played golf three times and is now at a campaign rally. No action taken to support the troops or push back against Moscow.

              Oh, and your showed yourself to be totally untrustworthy for the rest of time in any matter where your "mod powers" might possibly have played a role.

                First it was that Trump knew about the alleged bounties that Russia was paying for dead Americans.
                That appeared to fizzle, as the CIA officer never passed on that info, and the Dems had the same intel.

                Now it appears that, even though he wasn't told, he shoulda just known it anyway....

                or, now that he knows it, why isn't he doing anything about it.

                The goalposts keep moving so it's hard to tell, except for OrangeManBad.

                  That's a lie. The info appeared in the PDB.

                  Now it appears that, even though he wasn't told, he shoulda just known it anyway....
                  Yes, because it was in his PDB and he richly rewarded Russia *after* it appeared there. Why wouldn't you *ask* if there were a reason not to ask Russia back into the G7 before going public with that?

                  or, now that he knows it, why isn't he doing anything about it.
                  Yes, that is the second scandal. Why *isn't* he doing something about it now that we know Russia placed and *paid* bounties for American lives?

                    Maybe the third one will be the charm.

                      Both the existing ones are bad enough man. Are you really unaware of the quite loud chatter from McConnell telling Benedict Donald to shape up or ship out?

                          In any case you asked for the "news" like 5x in this thread so I gave you the news. And you have no answer for why a sitting president would play golf rather than push back against and adversary who placed and paid bounties. Other than to call me a hamster or whatever that emoji is supposed to be.

                            I don't believe I called you a hamster, but if it hurt your feelings, I apologize.

                            Trump plays golf because he likes to play golf. As for "pushing back", he actually has people for that.

                              The whole premise that Muslim terrorists needed further incentive to kill American soldiers is absurd on its face.

                                And it has been edited. I have completely deleted it, as it is blaphemous and thus contrary to our campus decorum.
