Seriously. Not to be dramatic, but I really feel traumatized by the sight smirkymonkey Oct 2019 #27

Me too. Scarsdale Oct 2019 #31

You have a point. But it's also, sorry to say, racist and ageist. DemocracyMouse Oct 2019 #48

That would be me!! YOHABLO Oct 2019 #52

Agree bucolic_frolic Oct 2019 #71

True. Old white guys are not the problem. Are they over-represented? Sure. Beartracks Oct 2019 #80

There's another thread saying how this looked staged... Wounded Bear Oct 2019 #3

Why do they lend themselves for the picture? I expect more from the military than Perseus Oct 2019 #17

So surprised....NOT Maeve Oct 2019 #4

It's not as if they'd tell him about it ahead of time htuttle Oct 2019 #5

My thought also. They wouldn't dare tell him! Hortensis Oct 2019 #32

That makes a lot of sense. It implies that HE knew and withheld it, when he probably didn't. Chemisse Oct 2019 #73

Yes. I don't see how they could tell him until after Delta etcetera Hortensis Oct 2019 #74

Exactly. He would have tweeted that something big was about to happen. Blue_true Oct 2019 #66

Nobody said Sousa made anything up. Where do you get that from? JHB Oct 2019 #58

Nobody - except trump and his pals. calimary Oct 2019 #82

Fine, but I'll thank you to not imply I was saying anything of that sort. JHB Oct 2019 #83

Is this timing confirmed....? ashredux Oct 2019 #16

I am getting a bit confused by the timing. demmiblue Oct 2019 #18

I think Souza would be careful about posting something like this The Velveteen Ocelot Oct 2019 #21

There is a six hour time difference between Washington and the Syria ashredux Oct 2019 #23

I understand the time stamp, but think he may be mistaken about the time of the raid. demmiblue Oct 2019 #24

Good point... if the timing isn't suspicious after all, the focus will be on trump's vindication renate Oct 2019 #38

Orwellian. moondust Oct 2019 #19
