    Do you believe everything your media says? Do you see them as capable of error or misfeasance?

    Are you old enough to remember the Judith Miller Brouhaha during the runup to invading Iraq?

    Looks like this story was just another attempt to tie Trump to Russia somehow.

    Sorry to burst liberal bubbles, but the NYT seemed to have pulled a CNN.

    NYT Finds Themselves in a Blunder Over Their Botched Russia-Taliban Story

    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.

    Well, if Russia and the Taliban deny it. LOLOL.

    The UK confirmed it. The US intelligence services have confirmed it. But I guess you trust Putin more.

    Guaranteed, he’ll let his supporters run with this lie until it’s exposed, then they’ll pretend it never happened.

    They don't care who catches the virus, they just don't want the economy to recover.

    Nobody denied the actual intelligence report only the part about Trump.

    UK did confirm the report so it's straight dereliction of duty by Trump.

    How can the economy recover when people are getting sick and dying en masse? Why would you want more people to get sick and die?

    And it wouldn’t have mattered what they said, because the MSM would call them all war mongers who are endangering the country in this time of crisis. Start a war in the middle of a pandemic? That’s TOTALLY what a Democrat would do??? /derp

    OR they would accuse Trump of starting a war to take attention away from how racist we are or how many he is personally killing, because you know every Covid Death is his fault. /double derp

    AND Dems would start telling all Minorities in the military NOT to fight and revolt against our obstruction administration. /Triple derp

    Maybe because young and middle aged people doing most of the work are NOT dying en masse. Make up more **** why don’t you? Can you read statistics or do you think the elderly run the economy?

    It kills people of all ages. How many dead husbands, wives, parents and children are acceptable to you? And what gives you the right to condemn them?

    Also,

    Coronavirus: 'Swift and dangerous turn' in Texas cases, says governor

    The spread of coronavirus infections has taken a "swift and very dangerous turn" in the US state of Texas, Governor Greg Abbott has warned.

    "Over just the past few weeks, the daily number of cases have gone from an average of about 2,000, to more than 5,000," Mr Abbott said on Sunday.

    Several southern and western states have recorded a surge in cases after lockdown restrictions were eased.

    And so do car accidents, cancer, alcohol and a plethora of other ailments. That’s not the point. Covid kills elderly and those with major health issues at an extremely higher rate compared to young and middle aged. It’s no deadlier than the flu for most people. This isn’t debatable. To insinuate that everyone is equally in danger shows total ignorance of well documented information.

    So it's perfectly acceptable to you to have bounties on the troops?

    He should be protecting them at every step...

    We take precautions against car accidents and fatalities caused by them, ditto cancer. We have laws regulating the consumption of alcohol likewise intended to save life and limb.

    Covid kills all sorts of people and, no less importantly, messes a lot of people up who don't necessarily succumb to the illness. On top of that, having too many people ill at once risk overloading the healthcare system and causing problems, including needless deaths, for everyone.

    Your arguments are myopic and a little sociopathic. I'm not sacrificing myself or my loved ones to give Trump his precious economy. That self-serving ******** wants people to suffer and die so he can have a better shot at winning in November, simple as that.

    Where are these dying masses? Some people are getting sick but there is no mortuary overload.
