My only opinion is to  :lol: over the usual meltdowns.

It's not like they're dumping billions of dollars on a tarmac in Tehran or anything like that.

What a beta president. Memorandums. Pffft.

Guy billed himself as a deal maker and olds like dax and my dad bought it.  That makes me mad that he exploited our elderly.

Phil is the guy who gets all horned up about Nancy "Oxy and Gin" Pelosi playing hardball now and trying to rail on the Senate for moving "slowly", while forgetting that Nancy sat out behind her gated fences and ate ice cream on "recess"  instead of going back to Washington and getting the CARES act done in a more timely manner.

Didn't they pass a bill in May? Lack of movement? Pffft.

Don't you hate executive orders or is that just ones signed by brown people?

Between that and unemployment not withholding, tax time is going to be an absolute disaster in '21.

Going to have to waive federal tax on that stimulus money. Still won't avoid a disaster with state taxes though.

The payroll tax collection moratorium is a way for Trump to follow through with his promise to defund Medicare and privatize social security by putting the solvency of these programs at risk while still leaving open the possibility that those taxes may need to be paid in a lump sum next year.

Luckily Pres Biden is being briefed.  Let lame duck Trump go golf and do less harm.

Wow. the CJOS and the SECDEF both say there's no verifiable evidence of any of this, but BidenBot Nation still continues to run with the story anyway.   

The propaganda and manipulation that the Party of Perpetual War will invoke and undertake to advance their agenda of war is absolutely amazing, and sad.

It's also hilarious and sad that a huge BidenBot/ProgFascist propaganda mouthpiece like the HuffPost is touting this rather than touting that the United States remove itself from Afghanistan after 2 decades of occupation with no end in sight . . .  as long as the Party of Perpetual War has its way.

Guys, month into this story they aren't sure yet but still looking into it so just drop it.  Back to emails and things Bill Clinton did 20 years ago.  Important stories to still run with per Dax.

Just create a pic of an old beater apartment with busted down hoopties in the parking lot and BLM flags flying next to a biege suburban house and be done with it Trump. 

He really hates the polls showing he is losing the suburban housewives who thought he was smokin' sexy in 2016.

What's extremely sad is smart people like me understand that if these bounties actually did happen, they were extremely limited in scope.   Smart people also realize that this is likely coming from Afghan insiders who don't want the decades long free lunch called the United States to exit the scene.

Anyone with a modicum of understanding of the nearly nearly 75 year back and forth between Russia and the United States has seen these kinds of things happen repeatedly.

The saddest part of all, is realizing that extremely unintelligent people have chosen to believe that the Taliban and AQ needed to be incentivized to kill Americans in Afghanistan.

Oh and Phil, your guy (per the GAO) skipped the public docket intelligence briefings early and often throughout his presidency.   Like . . . a lot.
