Ok, so now that Trump has denied being briefed, what's next?

Is he going to do anything to punish Putin, or is he just going to deny he knew about it and continue to do nothing? He can't get away with not knowing at this point. Everyone knows, and now can see how he will handle it. My guess is he'll find some way to ignore it, and his die hard followers will too.

But the more he lies the more the truth will come out and prove he ignored the warning like he ignored the corona outbreak.

Incompetent or evil?

until he fixed it.

I can't hear his name, hear him talk, or see his face without feeling sick to my stomach and realizing he's a madman and the puke party is willing to let him do what he wants.

I really need a talk down. I'm an older white male that never thought his country could elect someone like him and it sickens me.

much, if anything. Christ, we’ve done the same, even arming Afghans when Russia occupied their country.

He's always so nice to Putin. Now that he knows (and can't say he doesn't know) is he still going to smooch Putin?
