Schumer interrupts Trump's victory lap with a little dose of reality.

Schumer statement on al-Baghdadi ends: "New Yorkers know all too well the destruction a small group of terrorists thousands of miles overseas can cause from so far away. I look forward to receiving a briefing about this raid and the plan to deal with the escaped ISIS prisoners."

You know everything with "Damaged Donald" is personal. Did he (personally) say anything about Elijah Cummings passing? I sincerely doubt it. He hates anyone who questions/ calls out or opposes his magnificence. I truly think he would be right up there with Kim Jong Un, Putin, Stalin, etc. if we can't hold democracy. He's a true sociopath and will relentlessly push until...?

7. Here is trumps statement on Elijah Cummings death:

“My warmest condolences to the family and many friends of Congressman Elijah Cummings,” he wrote online. “I got to see first hand the strength, passion and wisdom of this highly respected political leader. His work and voice on so many fronts will be very hard, if not impossible, to replace!”

I was shocked that he said ANYTHING. Although i'd bet someone else wrote it, it was still his Twitter

Nothing in Trump's life, whether public or private, suggests that he is even capable of compassionate understanding or that he could even think about saying something gracious about a deceased African America Democrat.

about the ISIS chain of succession. Today, ISIS has a new leader. That must mean something new, different.

Who will want to establish his authority and power. Knowing ISIS, expect them to get something destructive done.

Hopefully not on US soil.

Swat one yellow jacket and the swarm responds, no?

Or will that still be considered collateral damage?

Glad this guy is out of the picture, but lets not forget about the dozens of high value targets Trump basically freed. A bunch of terrorists escaping their prison camp is how al-Baghdadi rose to power in the first place.

He might have shouted a prayer before he set off his suicide belt. If this is the case, the truth will come out
