This is why he can't give press conferences; he just can't shut up.

All he needed to do was announce it at a podium, thank the hard work of many, say god bless, and let the morning shows suck his dick.

Instead he's calling straight up to annex oil fields, giving away mission critical information, talking up ISIS murder videos, and even now he's claiming he wrote a book before 9/11 telling people to take out Osama Bin Laden even though no one had heard of him.

Oh my god what the gently caress

Also, Baghdadi was the biggest, baddest terrorist ever. And no one has ever heard of OBL.

I think I'm about to peace out, but my take away from this madness:

All the dogs are dead.

Terrorists are good looking.

People continue to call Trump "Sir".

Thank you, Russia!

A lot of information was given out that I probably didn't catch but will be very helpful to people with a higher pay grade.

The United States is stealing all the oil and giving it to Exxon.

No children were killed in the operation, except the children who were killed.

Watching a serious military operation is like watching a movie.

Jack Tapper and CNN are filled with Nazis.

All the dogs are dead.

You'd figure that right? Easily a big political score for any other administration. But for Trump he has to Trump it all up and make an even bigger idiot of himself, which is actually impressive because I didn't think that was possible.

Don’t forget that Obama announced the death of Bin Laden literally the day after he humiliated Trump at the Correspondents’ Dinner. It completely wiped any of Trump’s whining off the news, even Fox. This is the culmination of his revenge - he probably has convinced himself that taking out al-Baghdadi is a much bigger deal than Bin Laden. Even if this requires the formation of the absolutely ludicrous idea that 9/11 was just small beans in America. This might be the best moment in his life.

He will be whining for the rest of his days that the press didn’t give him enough credit for this.

Rachel Maddow Confronts Her NBC News Bosses Live, on the Air
nytimes.com/Oct. 26, 2019
"The MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow publicly confronted the leadership of her own network on Friday night, declaring live on air that she and other NBC News employees had deep concerns about whether the organization had stymied Ronan Farrow’s reporting on the movie mogul Harvey Weinstein."

[Don't watch the TV news, so don't know what's up with that.]

i heard on the NPRs that the reporter investigating Weinstein went to their boss and basically got shut down 'it's not news, who cares'; reporter had to shop it around instead. Unsurprisingly turns out said boss has a history of being a shithead.

Since its NPR they then spend 15 minutes on the CLINTON CONNECTION

I'm still chuckling over the timing of this announcement. Trump waits until 0900 on a Sunday morning, when most of his base is probably either at church or headed there. I guess it was perfectly timed to get the hosts of Sunday talk shows to fellate him, but I'm guessing the death of Baghdadi will be promptly forgotten as soon as the next round of impeachment questioning begins.

They also made a decision not to talk about body parts when they announced OBL's death. But more than anything, if I remember it correctly, the Obama administration were concerned how the killing of OBL would be seen by the Islamic world.
