So what are the politics of this?President Trump approved the mission a week ago!https://t.co/teOkRKwccK— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) October 27, 2019
Some people will no doubt view this as the President attempting to "distract" the country from the more serious double secret impeachment inquisition taking place in a basement bunker somewhere in D.C. area. It's almost not hard to imagine our military having an easier time killing the leader of ISIS than getting into Schiff's dark probe of secrecy!
It could also be suggested that the President has decided to concentrate on more serious matters than whether some whiny State Department employee (who is upset in his/her decreased level of importance) has second hand information, or whether it might actually be third hand. As President...Trump still has a responsibility to "be" President, and let the so called "impeachment inquiry" run out of gas on it's own.
Either way it's obviously a good thing for the Country and a good thing for the world in general. If everyone could get together on that and simply congratulate everyone involved on a very, very important job well done, that would be the best possibly thing. But we'll see if that becomes the case. No doubt many on the left will have an extremely tough time giving any credit to anyone.

Clearly Trump killed Baghdadi because he's a Russian double agent
@ggreenwald
It's genuinely fascinating watching Democrats in real time struggle to figure out what to say about this. They want to be patriotic and anti-ISIS, but also need a way to malign Trump without contradicting their gushing Obama praise over OBL: not an easy balancing act. Good luck!
dems, all politics all the time

This is a banner day for the United States and the entire civilized world.
It took ten minutes for the news media to pivot to reassuring each other that it won’t boost Trump.
Today is a great day. It’s okay to be happy about it, folks.
Another FANTASTIC DAY !!!
President Obama had nothing to do with the dangerous raid on Osama. He took no political risk by approving a raid that could have gone very badly.
“Stop congratulating Obama for killing Bin Laden,” Trump wrote. “The Navy Seals killed Bin Laden.”
@ZervosJoanne
They are stunned silent...I watched Tapper, just before, he was SPITTTING. “Why didn’t Schiff or the press know more.””Isn’t @realDonaldTrump doing this to pre-empt the Sunday Impeachment Shows.”
and Trump gave all credit to the men doing the job, unlike the previous occupant of the White House. Trump was very gracious and presidential.
We finally got the idiot to listen to us.
@julie_kelly2
Trump repeatedly commending intelligence professionals and special ops who organized and executed the raid. Not self-congratulatory, which is undoubtedly making the press crazy.
Good time to remind everyone that in 2016, John Brennan held briefings in the White House Situation Room not on ISIS but about the Trump campaign. These briefings were attended by top Obama aides including VP Joe Biden. It’s an outrage that our national security was at risk...
while Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Rice, Lynch, Biden AND Obama focused on Carter Page and George Papadopoulos rather than the legitimate, deadly threats to the public and to our troops. For that alone they should all be held in contempt by the American people.
i like how trump didn't tell congress about the killing because of how they leak everything.

You could feel the unmistakable rumble of a geopolitical earthquake this week.
Though the tremors have long been evident, it's growing clearer with each day that we're experiencing a seismic shift that is threatening the political and economic world the United States did so much to create.
What's also clear is that those countries challenging American leadership most – China most profoundly and Russia with increasing intensity – see new opportunities to accelerate their gains in the face of a polarized and distracted Washington through November 2020 elections – and beyond.
From Syria to Ukraine, and from Afghanistan to Africa, the tectonic plates are shifting in a manner that threatens not only the credibility and durability of US global leadership but also the democratic values, the Western institutions and the alliance structures that it has inspired for the past seventy years and since World War II.

@thebradfordfile
Reporter: Did you notify Pelosi ahead of time?
Trump: "No, no I didn't. I wanted to make sure this was kept secret. I don't want to have men lost."
you left out the best part, alky:
One shouldn't exaggerate the lasting impact of any the above events – and many more could be included – on U.S. global leadership. It's also true that the United States continues to enjoy unique advantages that have served it well in the past and would do so again in the future – resilient institutions, a dynamic and job-creating economy and overwhelming military capabilities.
It's also true that authoritarian systems like those of China and Russia have built in disadvantages that could undermine them over time. China faces aging demographics, slowing growth, Hong Kong protests, and authoritarian structures that may prove brittle in the face of new challenges. Russia's structural problems are far deeper, and no one can predict the shape of a post-Putin world.
That said, it's time to recognize the fact that a geopolitical earthquake is under way. Its consequences will grow only greater the longer we are distracted by our own domestic political ferment and fail to respond with a seriousness and strategy that is equal to the challenge.
distracted by our own domestic political ferment = jerking off on impeachment.
good job, democrats.
this is why trump can't tell you about major developments as they happen. you'll get people killed trying to politically harm the guy who's been kicking your asses since he was sworn into office.

Caused by the most dangerous President in the history of the United States.
Trump’s tweet has some truth to it: “I pointed him out in my book just BEFORE the attack on the World Trade Center.”
But the book, with only a passing mention of bin Laden, did not do more than point to the al-Qaida leader as one of many threats to U.S. security. Trump’s book, “The America We Deserve,” came out more than 1½ years before al-Qaida’s deadly attack on the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001, not just before.

FLASHBACK: Never Forget — ISIS Terror Leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi Was Held at US Prison Camp Bucca in 2009 Until Obama White House Agreed to Let Him Go
Last night President Trump and America won again!
US forces killed the barbaric leader of ISIS, Abu Al-Baghdadi, last night near the Syrian–Turkish border.
Al-Baghdadi was the leader of the ISIS Caliphate. He was held by the US in 2009 until the Iraqis and the Obama administration agreed to let him go.

Key witnesses testify in the impeachment inquiry
Ex-Deputy Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Charles Kupperman is expected to appear Monday in a closed session. He reportedly listened in on the call between Donald Trump and Ukraine’s President that’s at the center of the probe. Up Thursday is Timothy Morrison, a top Russia and Europe adviser on the National Security Council. He’s due to corroborate that Trump pressed Ukraine for political help in return for US aid.
@JackPosobiec
Why is it that none of CNN, WaPo, or NY Times’ anonymous White House sources knew about Baghdadi?
Surely they could not all have missed such a huge story, right?
and they even supposedly know what's in Trump's mind.
He’s due to corroborate that Trump pressed Ukraine for political help in return for US aid.
that's nice.
will he be reading directly from the phone call transcript?

Trump pulls troops out of syria. Mr Isis comes out of hiding. Trump sends in elite team to find him. They do. So he kills himself.
Well done Mr. President.
It appears as if the FBI were attempting to accomplish just that. Create a crime for the sole purpose of prosecuting and punishing it. A look into the actions of top Obama administration law enforcement officials sadly supports such a conclusion. For this reason, Powell and her legal team are requesting that the case be thrown out. Although I am not a lawyer, the evidence presented in this filing looks very compelling to me.

Trump has done great harm to the country.
He has discredited the national security and intelligence infrastructure. By claiming that they were out to get dirt on him.
There are Russian flags flying over formerly American military bases in Syria.
He has committed high crime and misdemeanors and endangered the nation security world wide.
He is using the DOJ to dig up dirt on Biden and On administration members.
Vladimir Putin is smiling at the television news coverage of this President as the Russians expand their influence throughout the middle east and beyond.

Al-Baghdadi, who took over ISIS after his predecessor Abu Omar al-Baghdadi was killed in 2010, when U.S. Special Operations forces entered a compound in northern Syria where he was located, according to a U.S. defense official. No U.S. Special Operations forces were hurt or killed in the raid.
Will Trump do the same thing, when the Senate convicts him?
seen in a comment section somewhere the other day -
at long last a democrat - elijah cummings - creates an actual "shovel ready" job.
Trump claimed that former President Barack Obama’s capture of “bin Laden was a big thing, but this is the biggest there is.”
“Hamza — Bin Laden was a big thing, but this is the biggest there is,”.
He's obsessed about Obama.

Hunter Biden received over $700,000 from a New York-based capital management company that held equity in a Chinese investment firm with close ties to the Bank of China, a Daily Caller News Foundation review of Hunter Biden’s Chinese, Ukrainian and American business dealings has found.
And despite the deluge of media reports saying Hunter Biden received $50,000 a month for his work on the board of the Ukranian natural gas company Burisma Holdings, the records tell a much different story.
Hunter Biden, the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, did not receive any compensation directly from Burisma, according to available records. The oft-cited $50,000 a month figure is actually based on payments he received from a New York-based company called Rosemont Seneca Bohai, which was owned and controlled by his longtime business partner, Devon Archer.
Rosemont Seneca Bohai’s Morgan Stanley bank records are publicly available because they were submitted in an unrelated criminal case that involved Archer and an alleged scheme to defraud millions from an American Indian tribe. Archer was found guilty in the case in 2018, but his conviction was later overturned.
The bank records show that in each month between June 2014 and October 2015, Rosemont Seneca Bohai wired between $10,000 and $150,979 to Hunter Biden for undisclosed purposes. In total, Hunter Biden received $708,302 from Rosemont Seneca Bohai, which was under Archer’s care at all times.
During that 17-month timeframe, in June 2015, Rosemont Seneca Bohai obtained a 20% equity stake in Bohai Harvest RST, the Chinese private equity firm that Hunter Biden has been a board member of since its founding in 2013. Hunter Biden announced Sunday he would resign from that position by the end of October.
Bohai Harvest RST is often referred to as BHR Partners in English news reports.
Just four months prior, in February 2015, Archer’s associate, investment banker Dan McClory, said he, Archer and BHR Partners CEO Jonathan Li, were pictured meeting with a leader of the Chinese State Assets Commission (SASAC), which as of 2017 managed $26 trillion in Chinese state assets.
“Group shot with the Director General of Chinese State Assets Commission. He’s the short guy at center,” McClory emailed his associates after the meeting. “Sasac is the largest controlling shareholder in the world … I brought them to BHR. Jonathan Li of BHR is third from right.”
“Fun times in Beijing,” McClory added. “Devon was stellar.”

U.S. forces suffered no personnel losses, he said. He also thanked Russia, Turkey, Syria and Iraq for their support.
Turkey said it was proud to have helped “bring a notorious terrorist to justice” and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Trump on an “impressive achievement”.
But Russia’s response was muted, with the defense ministry in Moscow saying merely that it had no reliable information on the U.S. raid.

The President doesn't have to Tell you Shit before he takes Action like this.
"President Trump said Sunday morning that he did not tell House Speaker Nancy Pelosi about the U.S. military raid in Syria that resulted in the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi because he was worried about leaks that could have compromised the mission"
So go face down in AOC pussy.
Trump claimed he feared leaks
Telling Pelosi and Schiff about a super secret operation while our people were still in danger?
Now why would you think he would fear a leak from those two?
They were told the moment wheels were down safely at home base after the mission was completed.

Trump’s Vivid Account of the Baghdadi Raid
October 27, 2019 at 4:59 pm EDT
“The White House script on the death of brutal terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was short. But with two words, President Trump turned the somber announcement into a vivid 40-minute news conference that included bravado, detailed descriptions of military operations, questionable statements and self-promotion,” the Washington Post reports.
“Any questions?”
“Trump eschewed the serious televised statement his predecessors might have offered. Obama, for example, said about 1,390 words when announcing the death of Osama bin Laden, and took no questions.”
“Trump, in contrast, uttered almost 8,000 words and took a dozen questions, offering an unfiltered and, at times, vivid account of the raid.”
_____________
Even my NC father called my sister while this was going on and said, "Why can't he just shut up?"
And Rat said the way Obama handled the bin Laden killing was narcissistic.
Narcissism, thy name is Trump.
