Note to Republicans---You've Got to Stand for Something

I got a reminder today when I saw that it was July 3. Bing notified us all it was, among many other truly notables, that it was country singer Aaron Tippin's birthday, 1958. I really didn't know who he was but looked closer and found he did this following song.



How timely and perfect, I thought, I think.

At a time when this President has not, to this day, made any attempt whatever to punish Russia, our known, very public enemy, for putting a cash bounty on our American soldiers heads, collectively and individually, who are serving our country in Afghanistan, what better statement to be made presently than "You're got to stand for something"?

These two lines seem especially pertinent, poignant and applicable for and to this Republican Party President and all in Congress presently:

You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything

You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string

Ironically, very ironically, the Senate today passed this measure.

Senate sends Hong Kong sanctions bill to Trump

Get that.  They're sanctioning China today for not standing up for Democracy there. But even propose, let alone pass a sanctions bill against Russia for putting a cash bounty on the heads of our American soldiers in Afghanistan??

To date, not a word. Not a peep.

So. Republicans. Do you stand for our soldiers in the field? Do you stand with us, with the nation, or with your President who seems to be supporting Vladimir Putin and Russia? And standing for him and that country in this and in other ways, provenly.

We're waiting.

Still, Still Nothing From This President In Response to Russia's Bounty on American Soldiers

Still, to this day, July 2, 2020 and this Republican Party President has done nothing, nothing whatever to even come close to punishing Russia and Vladimir Putin for putting a cash bounty on our American soldiers in the field in Afghanistan.

Thanks, Mr. President.

Thanks, Republicans.

Just imagine Donald Trump in the Oval Office facing a real crisis. 

We can’t afford that kind of risk.

Thanks, Republicans!

If this information, that Russia was paying bounties to the Taliban in Afghanistan to kill American soldiers and this President did nothing about it doesn't bring this President down, nothing will.

Trump a ‘coward or complicit’ over Russia bounty claims, says ex-Navy SEAL in new ad

Seriously, How Is This Man Still President?

So either last week or a month or two ago this President Trump learned Russia and his buddy Vladimir Putin actually put a cash bounty on our own American soldiers over in Afghanistan, to be paid to Taliban members who killed them, again, our American soldiers.

The revelation was bad enough, certainly.

Then we learned our President hadn't done anything about it.

Nothing. 

Did nothing whatever to punish Russia for putting a cash reward for killing our soldiers in the field.

At least as bizarre, if not more so, to this day, this Republican Party President Trump still, still has done nothing. Done nothing to punish Russia in any way.

Stunning.

Thanks, Mr. President.
Thanks, Republicans.

I ask again, how is this man still President?

No one can or does say it any better than an American Veteran.



How long, Republians?

How long, America?

How long?

Is This Not, Then, the Very Definition and Act of Treason?

On the subject of Russian bounties paid to the Taliban in Afghanistan for any and all of our American soldiers killed by them there, this broke yesterday.

White House aware of Russian bounties in 2019 and Trump was briefed, officials say

And still, from that day to this, from whatever day this President Trump learned of these bounties paid by the Russians for killing our American soldiers, still, still, to this day, this President has done nothing, nothing to punish Russia for this act, for these acts.

What is that, ladies and gentlemen, if not treason?

Is that not, as I asked, the very definition of treason?

It certainly seems to clearly be a betrayal of our American military, of all our American soldiers.

TR45SON

I honestly do think and believe and feel this President Trump has now committed treason, yes, absolutely. But it's treason by ignorance and recklessness and even stupidity, not by design.  It's unbelievable this is where we are.

Thanks, Republicans.

Remember Hillary's 11 Hour Testimony on "Benghazi!"?

Me.  I'm right here.  My hand is up.

Thanks, Mr. President

Thanks, Republicans.

How Is Donald Trump Still President?

This President Trump learned, at some point, either last week or months ago, that Vladimir Putin and Russia put out a bounty to pay the Taliban in Afghanistan to kill our American troops, our soldiers over there.

His first response to this information

First he said he wasn't told, that he knew nothing of or about it.

Trump Says He Was Not Briefed 

On Russian Bounties

Now he says what he was told, the intelligence, wasn't credible.

Trump claims intel on Russian bounties 

was deemed not credible

Which is it?

Now it's June 29 and still, to this minute, that same President Trump has still done nothing about these bounties to Russia.

That is at least gross, gross dereliction of duty if it isn't, in fact, treason, no exaggeration.

Finally, there's this, breaking today. So much for the "I didn't know" and "No one told me" defense.

Spies and Commandos Warned Months Ago of Russian Bounties on U.S. Troops

Given this and everything else, honestly, this man Trump has done and said while in office, I'm one more who has to ask..

How is Donald Trump still President?
