They probably agreed to let Biden use the bounties.

If not this is a big miss.

EDIT to add: She just mentioned the bounties.

The bounty offered by the Russians for killing our troops, right ? Not when Trump threw paper towels at Puerto Ricans who’d lost everything ?

Just checking.

Bounty: the quicker picker-upper.

Nice attack by Harris on Trump’s unpatriotic dismissals of various service men and women and veterans, like McCain.

It is more like the Gish Drunken Stagger – within 20 words, he is off in the trackless muskeg, no landmarks in site, you have forgotten where he started from and have no idea where he will wander off to next.

This is definitely not something that should be used sparingly. People should be screaming about the bounties from the roof tops every day. It’s absurd that Trump never had an answer for this one, and it just got lost in the wash with all his other scandals.
