Pompeo: I spoke today with Chinese Politburo Member Yang Jiechi to discuss @realDonaldTrump's decision to eliminate Soleimani in response to imminent threats to American lives. I reiterated our commitment to de-escalation.


Pootey Poot and the Orange Jesus has a secret call last week, so Pootey did not need to be briefed?

The Orange Jesus has been meeting with a lot of 'gelicals this last week. Did he promise again to use his nuke toys? Promise them the end times? He said before "We have nukes, I don't understand why we can't use them."

Edited to add:

Actually, he briefed Britain, Germany and China, but Congress was not briefed.

(snip)

The US secretary of state says he has spoken to the British foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, China’s top diplomat, Yang Jiechi, and Germany’s minister of foreign affairs, Heiko Maas, about the US decision to kill Suleimani, who commanded Iran’s elite Quds force.

1. The Democrats were not briefed . . .

Eric T-rump was apparently briefed as well . . .

[Proud Liberal Dem]

11. And Lindsey Graham

but Eric Trump? WTF?

3. Wannabe dictators don't ask for approval

4. From day one Trump has allowed all shit with Russia to go through TASS and PRAVDA...

and RT. He loves briefing our frenemies and leaving Americans in the dark.

5. Americans had better wake up to who their enemy is. All his friends are setting him up, and

he'll drag this country down with him.

6. Impeachable offense in my book!

7. He briefed Lindsey Graham last Friday at the golf course

Wonder who bought investments that went gold overnight?

8. I'm sure Traitor Trump was just following what Putin told him to do.

Shorty Putin knew even before Trump did.

9. He will never treat Congress (Dems) as a co-equal branch of government

Just more of him sending the message to Congress that he doesn't view them as a co-equal branch of government. Most likely, it was intentionally.

10. Putin already knew. He set it up.

Who gains from this action - Russia. Putin probably let out a little secret to Trump in their phone call that it might be a good idea to take out the Iranian general and where he would be. Trump ordered up a drone and the rest is history.
