Ridiculous Media Investigates Trump's Claim That al-Baghdadi Was 'Whimpering' And 'Crying' Before His Death
2019-11-04
[Townhall] The media's Trump Derangement Syndrome has reached a fever pitch as journalists call President Trump a liar for claiming that ISIS founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was "whimpering" and "screaming" as U.S. forces closed in on him.

The New York Times seemingly interviewed everyone with knowledge about the raid, but they cannot confirm the terrorist was in fact "whimpering and crying and screaming" before his death.

White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham responded to the Times report in an email by asking, "Is it not possible to just celebrate that a terrorist, murderer and rapist has been killed?"

CNN anchor Brian Stelter responded to Grisham's question during an interview. "Yes. Of Course. I think it's been very clear for a week there's been a celebration that al-Baghdadi is dead. But it is also possible to expect the president to tell the truth..." Stelter argued.

#13  When the civil war gets rolling with a bang, I'd place bets that a number of media people will be 'Whimpering' And 'Crying'.

#12  Definitely not Zenobia F (who has surrendered to Fred’s auto nym producer, getting a new one each day), but your poems have a certain charm all their own, Dron66046.

:-) Carry on!

#9   Imagine all the journalists in meetings saying "I have sniveled like that and nobody was even trying to kill me."

That's a winner!

A robot at his heels,
he shuffled !
a cautious doggy
barking un-muffled.


And that, too!
It is a good day to snark.

#8  I was going to do a NYT "investigation" of the Gettysburg address, but
a) it was too easy, and
b) typing is too hard.

He pulled in his treasure,
two foundlings of pleasure;
but the world closed in
so he pulled his own pin.

Triacetone ignited
and the three were cream.
Our only contention ?
'Did the middle one scream ?'

#1  I hope the Orange Man declassifies the signals intelligence and lets everyone hear the POS Baghdadi dialing up everyone he knew and screaming for help.
