I was wondering how the right defends Trump over the Russian bounties on US troops.

And I found out on Townhall.com:

Members of the American intelligence community have concluded that members of the Russian intelligence unit offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants if they successfully killed members of the American military, the New York Times reported. The problem, however, is that almost everyone involved in this story says it isn't true. The White House, Russia and even the Taliban have said the Times' story is false.

So there you have it.
The White House, Russia and Taliban, lily white truth tellers all, say it's not true so the intelligence communities and news reporters must have screwed up.

2. Yup

The old "fake news" defense. It's a shame that it may take 10s of thousands of deaths for his minions to see the truth about what is fake (everything he says) and what is reality.

3. Well, when you consider

that the American Military has consistently fought on the wrong side since WWII it should be easy.

4. I have no idea how anyone supports him. Especially the religious right.

He's a New York billionaire , who never had a family member serve in the military. He's an adulterer, his wife has done soft core gay porn, he called his own daughter a "Hot piece of ass" on the Howard Stern show. He did an Executive Order to ban bump stocks, while President Obama allowed people to carry firearms in the back country of National Parks and he said that Covid was a Democrat hoax and it would be a miracle and just disappear until the economy collapsed.. The only reason the right likes him is because he's a narcissist asshole who spouts racist bullshit, which describes his supporters themselves.

5. He gives them permission to be selfish, piggish assholes.

It's their dream come true.
No more political correctness.
You can be as evil and nasty as you want to be without guilt.
That's why the Christian right adores him.

9. The White Religious Right are Mainly Just White Supremacists

This is why they have never been able to connect with blacks and hispanics even though blacks and hispanics are the groups with the highest numbers of Christians in this country and they tend to go to church more regularly .

6. Well of course Russia and the Taliban would say it is not true. Duh.

Since when do we listen to Russia over our own intelligence services? Oh right. Since November 2016.

7. They certainly must be nearing suffocation from retelling themselves the lies

to placate themselves to sleep.

What a horrible existence they must lead.

10. tRUMP is the reTHUGS' Golden Boy. They'll support him until they all get locked up in Gitmo

together and that's the least they deserve. They know what's coming...
