The 2020 Presidential Election - Convention & General Election

[Ratt Mhule]

I dislike Trump more than the next guy but I have a REALLY hard time believing he said those things about the military. He made military service and building the military a top priority in 2016.

congratulations P&R, you are propagating the words of a bona fide Russian agent.

 

Funny thing about the Lincoln Project. They don't use their own words.

 

They use Trump's. 

 

So if you don't like what they're saying, I have bad news for you.

 

 

 

As far as Weaver goes, here's the work he signed up for:

Fletcher Newton, Tenam’s president, said in an interview the company hired Weaver to head off legislation that would make it harder for American utilities and nuclear power plants to buy nuclear fuel from Russia.

 

Weaver will “work with Congress and, hopefully, make sure they don’t come up with something vis-a-vis Russia that ends up hurting the United States,” he said.

 

 

BUT, turns out, he never worked for them.

A GOP political consultant and one of President Donald Trump’s harshest Republican critics has backed out of a six-figure agreement to lobby against potential U.S. sanctions on Russia’s nuclear energy industry.

John Weaver said in comments on his Twitter page Thursday that his decision to work for the U.S. subsidiary of a Russian uranium services company was a “mistake” because it could distract him from “playing any role” to ensure Trump serves only one term.

Weaver is a strategist for John Kasich, Ohio’s former Republican governor. Kasich has contemplated a primary challenge against Trump.

“I must reject this agreement,” Weaver wrote. “No funds were transferred, no actions taken. Now, I’ve got to get back to the barricades. Apologies for the momentary distraction.”

A foreign agent registration statement posted Wednesday on the Justice Department’s website showed Weaver was to be paid $350,000 through October to represent the Tenam Corporation on a range of issues that may include any restrictions on nuclear energy trade with Russia.

Tenam’s parent company is Tenex, which in turn is owned by Russia’s state-controlled nuclear energy agency Rosatom.

The Commerce Department has been investigating the impact of uranium imports on U.S. national security. American mining companies have argued that the U.S. uranium industry has been decimated by imports from Russia, China and other countries.

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said last year that the United States produces just 5 percent of the uranium it needs for the U.S. military and for electricity generation, down from nearly half in 1987.

Why would @Notre Dame Joe suddenly attack The Lincoln Project with a misleading claim about John Weaver?

 

So weird! Right?

You have a hard time believing it? After the things he has publicly said about John McCain, military generals, the intelligence community, and gold star families? 

 

A story like this should certainly be verified, and we don't want to fall into the same gullibility trap of misinformation that occurs so frequently with Trumpers, but this is all extremely plausible. And apparently there are multiple sources for it.

Not to mention he also followed the law and registered as a foreign agent (even though he apparently never acted as one), something Manafort and Gates did not do but still acted as foreign agents.

When Trump shows you who he is (repeatedly), believe him.

@admo @Notre Dame Joe

 

Republicans constantly claim they love and respect the military and the people who serve.  Might want to start listening to them.

And shows you who he loves, believe him.

Might want to listen all the way to the end to get the punch line.
