This guy was no bin Laden, who was uber hyped after 9-11.

And for all of the ranting about ISIS by people like Lindsey Graham, I get the impression that a lot of average Americans have largely checked out on the reality of our troops' unending battles in the Middle East. Even the ones who are consumed by Islamaphobia.

4. Al Baghdadi wasn't a household name so this isn't going to be of interest for many

The media is in the business to make money and they are going to cover news that will attract an audience.

Still no DNA confirmation. Boom! Right-wing-embarrassing-Bam!

tRump would take credit for killing the Pope if he thought it would stop the impeachment investigation. He is a criminal and a traitor, collaborating with the Russians.

Dateline Washington, DC, January 10, 2020: President Trump convicted by Senate and removed from office. "he was screaming, crying and whimpering"

"Screaming, crying and whimpering." Trump just gave us a preview of how he'll be spending his day when he's impeached--and when he loses in 2020

That's how he now spends every day. Just look at his Twitter feed.

Please, we need an annotated version of his remarks.

I want to see the photo of tRump in the Situation Room, behind a plate of cheeseburgers, a large softdrink cup with pom-poms cheering wildly.

By Trump's own standards he deserves NO CREDIT. Donald J. Trump. @realDonaldTrump.

Stop congratulating Obama for killing Bin Laden. The Navy Seals killed Bin Laden. #debate 6:12 PM - 22 Oct 2012

By this evening, Trump will have convinced himself that he played the lead role in that "movie" he watched yesterday, and that it was he himself who chased Al-Baghdadi down that tunnel.

Trump is a very small man, in the most important ways.

Sorry Mr. President but you told us dozen of times how the CIA is a bunch of democratic commie's who can't be trusted, now you want credit. Not a chance.
