Don’t know if I can trust 60 minutes anymore with the facts. Bari Weiss will probably find a way to credit Trump even though he was still in NYC grifting at the Apprentice.
Obama 😢
60 minutes fired a good news reporter.. Scott Pelly shouldn't have been.
OBAMA
Thank you President Obama!
Best president EVER
Theres no physical evidence we killed him that day
Obama got it done w/out falling asleep during the action.
Thought it was Conway's album

So the Pakistanis were hiding him
Bari Weiss thinks Navy SEALS were trained by SeaWorld.

Don't know why Matt retired. Regardless, it's always nice seeing a team member being successful after service. Hope he is alright.
GEORGE W. BUSH, A TRAITOR, A LIAR AND A HYPOCRITE. The Bushes and 9-11. Today, 25 yeas later, its all more clear than ever, and it was all covered under this fool: George Walker Bush, who ridiculously was in a school sitting dumb with students wasting his presidential time in that. This individual was also instrumental for the 9-11 abomination: Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud (born 2 March 1949), is a member of the Saudi royal family, military officer, and retired diplomat who served as Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States from 1983 to 2005. He is the grandson of Saudi King Abdulaziz. He formed close relationships, notably George H. W. Bush and son George W. Bush, his closeness to the latter idiot gained him the controversial nickname 'Bandar Bush'. His particularly close relationship with the Bush family is grotesque and reprehensible. Omar al-Bayoumi is a Saudi national with verified links to two of the 9/11 hijackers in the United States, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, and Anwar al-Awlaki, a al-Qaeda key organizer, later leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
