This news site, unlike some, is committed to covering the Russian bounty story at least once a day until it is resolved. Because of all the Trump scandals, cons, idiocies, whatever – this is the one that is truly sacrilegious in a civic sense. The one duty that is wholly non-negotiable, even before the duty to protect American citizens (which Trump’s also failed) is the duty to protect Americans serving around the world. Not only has Trump failed that test, but it also appears that he’s failed it precisely because it pits our American troops – our best – against Trump’s master, Putin. Until someone explains Trump’s inaction with proof, the Putin subservience will remain our working explanation.

Despite the fact that the story has exploded out of the New York Times, and been covered on nearly every platform, it still isn’t getting the coverage required. Our national security is at stake. In any other administration, “bounties” would be seen as akin to an act of war, if not war in and of itself. Indeed, one could argue that the SCOTUS failed the American people yesterday by not ordering the taxes turned over to Congress immediately, as a national safety issue, to explore whether there is or is not a conflict between Trump and Putin.

Of course, there is a conflict, the Trump kids told us as much just a decade ago. Most Americans prefer to pretend it’s not there. Our troops don’t have the luxury.

Vote Vets, fittingly, has stepped into the inexplicable void to demand some answers. Vote Vets believes that the way to shake Trump into action is to highlight his inaction, in short – humiliate him, and at least pressure Trump enough to drive the story back onto the front pages:

It’s been two weeks and Trump has done NOTHING about Russia’s bounties on our troops.
He’s a coward who cares more about pleasing his Russian master than keeping our troops alive.

What are you going to do about him this November?? #TraitorTrump#TwoWeeksOfSilence pic.twitter.com/ttS33l5AX5

Thank you, for the troops.

Some reviews:

This is phenomenal work, please tell me you're pushing this HARD in Ohio, Florida, Arizona, and all swing states — this is the failure message of the @realDonaldTrump presidency. #TraitorTrump

Should be pushed everywhere, but they require money to get it on the air – you don’t, you can forward this to anyone.

I know I left the Republican Party couple of years ago, it’s still amazes me how they’ve lied saying that they cared more about soldiers than Democrats. If that was true, we would see more condemnation from the Republican Party on this Russian bounty on our soldiers.

Powerful powerful message! This deserves so much air time! On airwaves across the Nation. Our military deserve better than this! The families deserve better than this! And our Nation deserves better! Keep up the great work and THANK YOU for your service to our country!

Well, we at this site will not. As said, this is sacrilege. A president unable to protect troops in the field – for whatever reason – must be deposed, as fast as possible.

Peace, y’all
