Actually that's exactly what I think. If you don't like a business's rules, don't shop there. But triggered Trumpsters can't accept that.

Following bombshell allegations that the Russian government offered Taliban militants secret bounties for killing U.S. troops, the Trump administration on Monday invited a bloc of eight GOP lawmakers to the White House for a briefing where administration officials insisted that there was conflicting intelligence on the matter. However, the White House reportedly refrained from divulging a key piece of evidence which legal experts say casts further doubts on the Trump administration’s shifting excuses about what it knew and direct claims from the president that the entire ordeal is a “ hoax.” According to a Tuesday report from the New York Times, U.S. intelligence officials had supported the contention that the Russian military was running a bounty program with intercepted electronic data “showing large financial transfers from a bank account controlled by Russia’s military intelligence agency to a Taliban-linked account.” According to the Times report, which was sourced to three officials familiar with the intelligence, “[t]he intercepts bolstered the findings gleaned from the interrogations, helping reduce an earlier disagreement among intelligence analysts and agencies over the reliability of the detainees.” “The disclosures further undercut White House officials’ claim that the intelligence was too uncertain to brief President Trump,” the report went on to say. “In fact, the information was provided to him in his daily written brief in late February, two officials have said.” University of Texas law professor Steve Vladeck, a noted expert in national security law and military justice, lamented the administration’s apparent decision to intentionally mislead lawmakers. “It’s almost impressive how the Trump White House keeps making this series of scandals worse,” Vladeck wrote. “It’s bad enough that they lied all weekend about what they knew and when; now it turns out that they even misled the hand-picked congressional Republicans who they ‘briefed’ yesterday.” It's almost impressive how the Trump White House keeps making this series of scandals worse.

In a different time, we’d be talking impeachment,” Litman wrote.

Do SI Trumpers think Trump should retaliate against Russia for targeting American troops. Apparently, NO THEY DON'T! They apparently all agree that Putin s/b rewarded by inviting Russia back into the G8.
