1. More importantly, all stations have gotten in line. No Comey, no Cohen, no Stormy.

This creature learns. When he sees that Comey is out, and a week goes by and Comey's book is old news, trump will have successfully used missiles to distract the country and limit Comey's impact. He gets to be Presidential while his victims and opponents get sidelined. We shouldn't kid ourselves. He will come back to this again and again.

5. Kinda wish Rachel had done her regularly planned show last night

7. Yes. I almost couldn't bear her having to just sit there like all the other networks

and run b-roll over 3/4 of the screen while filling time.

Though she did mention, and ask some guests about 'wag the dog' conjecture.

Mission accomplished for Trump by networks as usual: distraction.

Probably not her decision on that use of her hour.

4. (post moot. See edit history if curious)

(moot since poster auto-removed)

3. This will turn out to be a relatively momentary distraction. Cohen will be in court Monday. . . nt

6. Trump this AM: "Mission Accomplished!"

When I saw the headline, all I could think of was .... in Prague??

8. Sounds like they bombed empty buildings

and IF there were any chemical storage in the buildings...how do they know if they didn't disperse toxic gases all over the area?

9. This was a sterile attack and not surgical to use a medical analogy.

Trump got a chance to scowl into a camera while Putin protected his American investment.

10. I agree with Rachel Maddow

[notdarkyet]

11. I didnt watch or listen to any of it. Its all bs. And am really mad at the media.

12. So - What's Cheetolini Going to Do, How Will He Escalate Things

When Bob Mueller comes to hand him his indictments???
