No one sent him a strongly worded email. No one mimed it to him. No one called him on his house phone. No one wrote him a letter. A text message. No one gave him a birthday card with a note in it. The president and his administration want America to believe that U.S. intelligence learned that the Russian military was quietly offering Taliban-linked militants a bounty to kill Americansโ€”the people Russia has Trump governingโ€”and no one told him.

No one sent out a plane to spell it out in the sky. No one wrote a secret message on one of his fat-ass ties. No one scribbled it on a Post-It note and left it inside his sleeping coffin.

Not. One. Word. Was. Told. To. The. President.

In the words of my sisterโ€™s friend Tee: โ€œWhat did that nigga say? OK, he lyinโ€™.โ€

But that didnโ€™t stop the president and his lying-ass administration from pushing that bullshit-ass story to the American public.

From The Associated Press:

American intelligence officials concluded months ago that Russian officials offered rewards for successful attacks on American service-members last year, at a time when the U.S. and Taliban were holding talks to end the long-running war, according to The New York Times.

Trump, in a Sunday morning tweet, said โ€œNobody briefed or told meโ€ or Vice President Mike Pence or chief of staff Mark Meadows about โ€œthe so-called attacks on our troops in Afghanistan by Russians.โ€

โ€œEverybody is denying it & there have not been many attacks on us,โ€ he said.

The White House sent out a statement claiming that neither Trump nor Vice President Pence had been briefed on such intelligence because Trump doesnโ€™t like anyone talking to him about his boyfriendโ€™s country, and we still havenโ€™t confirmed whether or not Pence is, in fact, a human capable of interpreting data.

โ€œThis does not speak to the merit of the alleged intelligence but to the inaccuracy of the New York Times story erroneously suggesting that President Trump was briefed on this matter,โ€ Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnanyOfTheState said, AP reports.

Trumpโ€™s Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe also claimed that no one ever briefed the president or the vice president โ€œon any intelligence allegedโ€ in the New York Timesโ€™ report, and he said the White House statement was โ€œaccurate,โ€ AP reports.

Iโ€™m just curious: if youโ€™re the director of national intelligence, wouldnโ€™t it be your job to tell the president that Russia is offering incentives to our enemies to kill American soldiers?

But but but butโ€ฆ..what about kneeling during the anthem?!

Trumpโ€™s tweet came after presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said that if the report is true that the president is a lying piece of shit and he would like to take him behind the bleachers and give him the ole 1-2 (and then Biden started punching and winded himself out.) it is truly a โ€œshocking revelationโ€ about the president and his failure to protect U.S. troops in Afghanistan and stand up to Russia, AP reports.

Russia called the report โ€œnonsense.โ€ (Seriously, what else was Russia going to say?)

โ€œThis unsophisticated plant clearly illustrates the low intellectual abilities of the propagandists of American intelligence, who instead of inventing something more plausible have to make up this nonsense,โ€ the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

A Taliban spokesmanโ€“wait, these bamas have a spokesman?โ€“said the militants โ€œstrongly reject this allegationโ€ and are not โ€œindebted to the beneficence of any intelligence organ or foreign country.โ€

John Bolton, a former national security adviser turned internet baddie who is now hawking a tell-all about his time in Trumpโ€™s White House, said, โ€œit is pretty remarkable the presidentโ€™s going out of his way to say he hasnโ€™t heard anything about it, one asks, why would he do something like that?โ€

Well, because the president is a liar and he doesnโ€™t give a shit about America. Also, if they wanted to make sure the president knew about this, they shouldโ€™ve written it on a golf course or on top of South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Grahamโ€™s head since that is the only part Trump can see when Grahamโ€™s kissing his feet.
