I think it might be helpful for you.
Just Google KHOU 11 News - MOMENT OF ZEN.
Trump golfed rather than be briefed on Russia, a country he considers an ally, offering money for the murder of Americans.
You know you can't defend that behavior. You know that we'd generate enough energy to power the globe for centuries off the rage that would have been generated had Obama done this.

The White House briefed eight House Republicans on intelligence that Russia offered bounties to Afghan militants who targeted U.S. troops for assassination, according to Trump administration officials and congressional sources.
Noticeably absent from the briefing, which are traditionally bipartisan affairs, were any Democrats, despite controlling both House panels. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) is expected to bring a group of Democratic members to the White House for a briefing Tuesday at 8 a.m.
So the democrats are going to get a briefing tomorrow. At least there's that. Still this whole thing absolutely reeks.

The Russian bounties story was included in the PDB.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/29/polit...ing/index.html
The intelligence that assessed there was an effort by a Russian military intelligence unit to pay the Taliban to kill US soldiers was included in one of President Donald Trump's daily briefings on intelligence matters sometime in the spring, according to a US official with direct knowledge of the latest information.
That assessment, the source said, was backed up by "several pieces of information" that supported the view that there was an effort by the Russian intelligence unit -- the GRU -- to pay bounties to kill US soldiers, including interrogation of Taliban detainees and electronic eavesdropping. The source said there was some other information that did not corroborate this view but said, nonetheless, '"This was a big deal. When it's about US troops you go after it 100%, with everything you got."
So now one needs to ask why Trump, Pence, Ratcliffe and Grenell lied.
