Did they send out Graham to replace Trump's quotes in the news with his quotes? He's just making statements that are both dismantling Trump's pullout arguments, and making the region less safe.
And is Graham, head of the Judiciary committee, working for the administration now? He looks almost like a hostage up there, he looks terrible.
Where are the majority and minority leaders and the heads and ranking members of Congress' intelligence committees? Yeah, they weren't told.

I remember now why I had forgotten all about this guy. He has been confirmed killed two or three times already, by Russia in 2017 and then again later in 2017 by Syria, and more recently Trump said ISIS was 100% defeated.
It'll be forgotten by tomorrow, except for the GOP crying, "Why are you asking me about impeachment when some terrorist was killed (again) last weekend?"

I think we can insult his cravenness without resorting to homophobia.
Think of what you're saying. When you use "dick blower" pejoratively, you imply that gay men and gay male sexuality are something to be insulted, mocked, used against someone. It's the same as calling Trump Putin's "butt boy." If you can't criticize these people without casting them as gay, you might need to examine some of your beliefs.
This feels like a god damned projection prophecy. He's describing his own end and we should be filled with a sense of profound dread.
It's part of why a lot of these terrorist groups around the world will continue to hate the US as a symbol, and why they will continue to make attempts to hurt the US in the future.

Nah, you making it bigger than it really is.
Funny you say it like that.
On SNL last night Kate McKinnon was playing him and Alec Baldwin said as Trump: "I thought your were a scoop of ice cream melting into a suit."
amy walter @amyewalterWhat impact could killing of abu bakr al-baghdadi have on Trump's standing w/ public? Likely little to zero. Late April 2011, pre-Osama Bin Laden killing, Obama job approve in Gallup was 46%. Post-OBL kill, job approve jumps to 52%. By June, job approve drops back to 46%.

What a lovely response to an actual gay man telling you that your insult has homophobic connotations.
No, they're really not. Using gay sex acts as insults casts those acts as negative, and furthers the perception that gay sexuality is itself negative. Notice how, say, muff-diver doesn't have the same negative connotation as dick-blower. I wonder why, huh?
Also this. Honestly even I didn't know who Baghdadi was before today.
The incompetence is just staggering, and lol at Trumps "tough military leader" face.
Expect to hear everyone in the right-wing media ecosystem suddenly become experts on his life story though, just like they all became legal scholars with an encyclopedic understanding of how quid-pro-quo works over the last month.
Well it also helps that Obama did his announcement during primetime TV. Right in the middle of baseball and... the Celebrity Apprentice.
Yeah, most americans will be surprised to hear that Trump killed someone from a group he claimed to have defeated years ago.

Yashar Ali @yasharThey had it right the first time.
The Washington Post changed the headline on its Al-Baghdadi obituary from "Islamic State's terrorist-in-Chief" to "austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State."

This will continue and only accelerate. His NPD, exposure of crimes, and dementia(?) will not allow him to not self-own.
Probably why Smeagol is there behind the podium right now.
Illiberalism means loving those that have a boot on your neck as much as having a boot on the necks of others.
Last night, I was thinking great. Trump and co is going to go on a big rally about Baghdadi being dead. He is going to get a lot of 'he became president' takes, his approval rating will shoot up and impeachment will take a back seat. As he can rally Americans behind the death of ISIS and not attack Democrats or Republicans. Instead he says we may come after Syria's oil next and said Obama admin killing Bin Laden wasnt even that big and he wasnt even known until the World Trade Center attack.
I mean it depends how well the media machine spins things. Under Obama, ISIS was the second coming of the Nazis and an even bigger, more radical threat than Al Qaeda. They were also teaming up with illegal immigrants and Mexico to flood the US border. Immediately after Trump got elected, everyone pretty much forgot about them and Trump has been casually saying for the past 2 years that he defeated ISIS.
I know we don't always see eye to eye on everything, but thank you for saying this. I am really fucking tired of people using homophobic references as the basis for their humor/insults. That shit is not funny.
Same argument that people who make sexist and racist remarks make. Maybe you should listen to people from the LGBTQ+ community instead of being dismissive.
I heard he was the mastermind behind the Bowling Green Massacre. #NeverForget

This is such a horseshit headline. Absolutely no religious organization accepts Baghdadi's credentials and views. Islamic religious scholars go through vigorous training and reading on law, jurisprudence, philosophy, Hadith sciences and history. He has none.
Just because I call myself grand emperor poobah rustynails does not mean I was one.

What the fuck? They changed it TO that?
Not to mention Bin Laden was a household name in the US, he was the face synonymous with 9/11. No one in the public even knew who the ISIS leader was, let alone spell his name. In general it's so far removed from an ordinary American's life that they aren't going to care.
And of course, Trump has claimed multiple times to have "totally defeated 100% of ISIS".
austere = constantly on the run moving from hovel to hovel because reasons? That's a new definition for sure.
local man found dead at 48, authorities suggest natural causes.
I ask myself this daily
It's amazing he had to fuck up such an easy layup with that rambling speech
Total incompetence not even removing the metadata, he so wants this to be his Bin Laden moment

Remembering intensifies
Please tell me this is not a direct quote because holy fuck is that a thing
It isn't, but it's effectively what he said, that killing Bin Laden wasn't a big deal like killing the ISIS leader was.
On the one hand, nothing bad the President does will move his approval rating for more than a week, but on the other hand, nothing good the President does will move his approval rating for more than a week.
Obviously because of his beautiful chompers.
Yes. His approval has been remarkably stable and remarkably bad.
I think in the first months of his presidency, he could've pulled it off back when his staff was forcing him to read from the teleprompter and taking his phone away to stop his never ending tweeting. I mean he and his supporters were able to spin North Korea for the longest time as a win. I felt he could've easily milked this story dry and used it to help stop the bleeding. However, he fucked it up even worse than I could've imagined.
