The Russian bounty on US troops must not disappear from the news

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.

Pelosi, Schiff, et al need to be very loud on this subject.

Reporters need to ask about it at every opportunity.

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.

If you are a troop in a foreign country with a Russian Bounty on your head this is LBN to you and your family at home.

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

$100,000 bounties on our servicemen's heads and they can not even verbally condemn it?

10. Like Cindy Sheehan, a mother should camp out in front of Mar-a-Lago to remind Trump of her loss.

Cindy Sheehan's son, U.S. Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, was killed by enemy action during the Iraq War. Sheehan brought national and international media attention for her extended antiwar protest outside President George W. Bush's Texas ranch.

SO many small AND really big things that would have ended any presidency are LONG forgotten.

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.

13. Why are Republicans turning their backs on our US troops?

Why are republicans betraying our soldiers, and falling to their knees to kiss enemy Russian ass?

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