Meanwhile... Rudy has been making some calls....

Haaaaa. This was Trump’s former cyber security advisor.

Trump made a tweet earlier that something big just happened and now the White House has announced that President Trump has a major announcement planned for 9am eastern tomorrow morning. Guesses anyone?

I think this might be relevant:



Rumor is that we killed a major ISIS/al qaeda leader. Baghdadi.

Well that would be welcome news.

It really is fantastic news. I hate that he was able to martyr himself, but at least he’s dead and we didn’t lose any men.

This whole thing is so weird. Trump goes out of his way to thank Russia (even thanked them before our own military) but Russia has said they don’t believe the raid even happened. I don’t think our military would say something happened that didn’t.

I’m always amazed at how technically competent our military is. When you combine that with the skill and bravery these people have, it is really mind boggling.

The parodies of the Washington Post's pathetic obituary for ISIS leader Al-Baghdadi might be the best thing the internet has done in a long time.

 

[Kory]

Also, it makes me incredibly glad to see ISIS scum die...hopefully very prolonged and painful. Evil, evil people deserve suffering.

It’s time. All the key testimony they could get is locked in. They need the subpoena power of an official action to get those that won’t testify on the record.

Imagine being consumed in Trump hatred that you literally start defending a guy who has murdered, raped, and tortured countless people.

 

[gangstonc]

Opening statement from tomorrow. This is as damaging as it gets for trump:

I miss all Presidents that used speech writers, it could make the most incompetent seem competent.
if he weren’t such a narcissist, he could pay the amazing Peggy Noonan millions to make him seem normal even eloquent.

I’m proud of our brave and intelligent military for conducting a successful operation.
(see that’s not hard)

I so miss professional politicians running this country.

 

[Kory]

A communist will do what a communist does.

I don’t. I don’t like this experiment with a business man either but so called professional politicians have ruined this country. Skyrocketing debt. Endless Middle East conflict. And one could even argue they accelerated the moral decay of America. We have no sense of humanity toward fellow Americans. The “other side” is painted as the enemy by both just for having different opinions...often leading to increased violence. So, no, I don’t opine to have professional politicians back. Not sure what went wrong but they were at the helm when we went off course.

Trump team has been attacking this decorated military man as a never Trumper. Ridiculous.

 

[Kory]

Not far enough. Start excommunicating ALL of them.

 

[gangstonc]

What steps has the US taken to counter Russian aggression in the last 3 years?

 

[KoD]

I love the contrast here. [1min24sec length]

I find the juxtaposition of this alongside Trump's praise by Evangelical pastors to be quite telling. Kudos to the Priest. I wish others acted similarly.
