Uhhhh – what?
It seems that the Trump Administration asked for funds to pay travel and lodging expenses for the Taliban to meet with US representatives in Qatar – six rounds of talks, in fact, per the article – since last fall.
Oddly, there is some objection on the part of Congress to funding the comfort of people they are now referring to as “terrorists”.
The story is here: https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2019/05/17/not-duffel-blog-pentagon-wants-to-reimburse-taliban-for-travel-to-peace-talks-says-report/
If it weren’t in Military Times, it’s something you’d expect from Duffel Blog or The Onion, as the author of the article indicates.
Is it possible that the usual suspects reacted to the request this way, just to oppose Pres. Trump?
Nah, that could never happen… could it?
Happy Friday, everyone!

paying for travel expenses to negotiate is SOP.
I guess the dims only like to pay terrorists if they are arming them, or buying a traitor back from them.
Why shouldn’t the American Taxpayer foot this bill? Hell, we pay for everything else.
Negotiate with a massive overfly of B52s, B1Bs, B2s, and hell why not, some new B21s. Or better yet, let the boys and girls at Minot send some messages…and the Bubbleheaded Boomer Crews. They need to share some love too.
Then bounce the rubble. Be easy, since it will be glowing in the dark.
They’d rather pay for millions of illegals to come and stay.
Ditto. But only because of their certainty they will vote D-rat.
We need to pay our fair share up front so we can reap the peace dividend…or some shit like that.
Have them out of in DTS. No wait, that will push them over the edge
Put it in…Damn autocorrect
Have to admit, they are doing a good job of showing why Trump won in the first place. And why many people are becoming more and more reluctant to trust them. This sure is not making it any easier on the latter. I honestly fear, thi is a lesson that might have to be learned the hard way.
