Trump's a traitor: The bounty should be on his head (metaphorically speaking)

Trump's a traitor: The bounty should be on his head (metaphorically speaking)

Is the Russian bounty scandal the final nail in Donald Trump's (political) coffin? It certainly should be

LUCIAN K. TRUSCOTT IV, JULY 4, 2020

The first story of the rest of Donald Trump's life was published last Friday in the New York Times, revealing that the Russian intelligence agency known as the GRU has been paying bonuses to Taliban fighters to kill Americans, and that this intelligence had been reported to Trump and had been known at least since March. The story was subsequently confirmed by the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and the AP.

But at least as interesting as the facts in the story was this gem a few paragraphs down: "Spokespeople at the National Security Council, the Pentagon, the State Department and the C.I.A. declined to comment," the Times reported, pretty much giving us a list of who in government wants Donald Trump out of office. Remember that old saying, "When they tell you it's not about sex, it's about sex." Well, when newspapers tell you who refuses to comment on a story, they're telling you who leaked the story to them in the first place and hinting strongly at their motive.

The White House took more than 24 hours to respond on Saturday evening. Saying she wasn't commenting on the "merit of the alleged intelligence," White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany assured us that "Neither the President nor the Vice President were briefed on the alleged Russian bounty intelligence." Thus began what would become an odd, drawn-out series of denials, non-denials, denials of denials, and explanations and revisions of previously denied denials. Trump's defense of his ignorance about the bounties was immediately clocked as the "Sergeant Schultz" defense: "I know nothing. I know nothing!"

On Sunday, the New York Times reported that "United States intelligence officers and Special Operations forces in Afghanistan alerted their superiors as early as January to a suspected Russian plot to pay bounties to the Taliban to kill American troops in Afghanistan."

Trump knew in early January. Boom!

I'm certain there are all kinds of articles/posts out there on the internet with terrible titles, so let me think about this.

If this thread disappears it's because of this concern.

Reasonably drawn at the threat (direct or implied) of physical violence to a person. That's my 2 cents anyways.

Or would it have been considered dangerous and racist?

Do you really want to open the door to threatening posts being legitimized here merely because they are titled elsewhere first and then copy/pasted?

I think that it's wrong in either example, and I think that you do too.

Should those be eliminated too?

The idea of expression and information is the big concern.

Allowance to offer information that might be objectional to some, may be just information to others.

He said “there should be a bounty on POTUS head”. That is a threat to life, not prison....

......the deeper some of you sink into your psychosis, the more titillation you get by pushing the limit and imagining your hate fantasies. You seem to think that you can skirt the rules by sticking in a legal hedge phrase.

As much as I despised BHO, no one should have ever talked about taking his life. Amazing how hate filled these Dems have become. Definitely not the Dem party of my parents.
