Like so many of trumps failures and transgressions, the Russian bounty seems to have dropped from the front pages of the news cycle over the weekend.
This cannot happen. This must be kept alive. Too much is at stake including the welfare of our troops and what is left of the integrity of the office of the presidency.
His failure to act must have consequences.

Reporters need to ask about it at every opportunity.

(21,264 posts)Democrats need to write a bill condemning Putin and putting sanctions on Russia to keep it in the news.
I hope the Democrats will, if but to just get trump-putin's bounty on american soldiers into the Congressional record(s). I hope it's been started somewhere. I will be e-mailing my political reps today.

To quote a former Navy Seal. Trump is a Coward or Complicit by not standing up to Putin.

This one is in my personal top few, but it is already fading.
Agree though that they can't let this slip by without something from congress.

America needs American patriots, and the corrupt Republicans do not qualify, will not protect our soldiers. Disgraceful.
