""Pelosi Lashes Out at Trump Admin For Delivering “Classified” War Powers Act Notification to Congress, ‘Americans Are Being Left in the Dark’"" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi lashed out at President Trump on Saturday after a formal notification of the drone strike was delivered to Capitol Hill. The White House informed Congress of the drone strike that killed General Qassim Soleimani, a top commander of Iran’s al-Quds Force at Baghdad’s International Airport.

The White House delivered a formal, entirely classified notification to Congress on Saturday informing lawmakers of the airstrike that took out several Iranian military officials, fulfilling its duties under the War Powers Act, the NY Times and WaPo reported.

Pelosi was furious that the Trump admin classified the notification and accused Trump of deliberately keeping Congress and Americans in the dark.

When you know those in charge are fighting for you and your country, like in WWII, you don’t feel like you have you know everything. You just know that sooner or later, the Pattons of this world are going to steam roll over the bad guys. That’s how feel about Trump.

Dear Nancy, some people did some things, and that’s all you need to know.

Nanzi got so confused she she Poly-gripped her cheeks together, and Preparation-H’ed her gums.

Nanzi needs to get a brain scan to see if there’s anything up there. Her cranium must be contaminated with Botox.

A caveat when getting Botoxed is not to tilt one’s head or bend over for 24 hours b/c the Botox can migrate to the brain.

Overuse of Botox can cause the muscles to become so weak that they can’t support the flesh. The results can look unnatural, and be painful.

If too much is applied to a neck rejuvenation, the side of the face can droop; muscles that hold the neck up weaken so you can’t swallow or hold your head up.

Also has an increased risk of serious side-effects, including difficulty swallowing and/or breathing,

Is Nancy signaling that someone should take out the power infrastructure?

We are not supposed to know military planning and operations. If we know, then the enemy knows. Loose lips sink ships Nancy, you stupid moron.

As soon as it’s leaked, Trup will issue this statement: “See...this is exactly the reason why I didn’t give Congress advanced notice of the strike.”

“Did pelousi leak classified information just by talking about it?”

Would it matter?

Yeah because I’m sure Pelosi prefers to not know about something until there’s nothing she can do about it. Like the rest of us.

Probably really classified, not political gamesmanship by the President. Details of the strike would probably include timelines that could indicate Intel sources. Or details on how they confirmed his presence, ditto. Or the choice of drone and missile could reveal operational capabilities and limitations in theater. All very reasonably classified, not a stunt. And if anyone leaks they should be hunted down and stood up against a wall.

I’m pretty sure Americans mostly saw the video before the nasty old butcher had been dead for a day.

We’re very well informed.

We must keep the enemy in the dark, which is why the DemonicRats must not be included in the classified information. They’ll run straight to the enemy with the information.

Our President is ever one step (minimum) ahead of them. But witness her meltdown: first, because she’s “not in the loop” and now when she will be — because she can’t blab about it...which is likely why he didn’t want her told anything in the first place! Our POTUS has her number.

Pelosi was furious that the Trump admin classified the notification and accused Trump of deliberately keeping Congress and Americans in the dark.

So let me get this straight ...

1. President Trump sends a notification to Congress.

2. Nancy Pelosi accuses him of "keeping Congress in the dark."

Is Pelosi saying that nobody in Congress can read?

We all know the terrorist general is dead and that 52 targets in Iran will be hit if they dont stop attacking our people. The publicly available news article I read said that the 52 number is in remembrance of the victims of Itanian state aggression in 1979, so it’s nice to know that Trump is making a point to remember these things.

I felt left in the dark by the Obama administration because that administration lied to us and behaved in a way that favored our enemies and emboldened them. I couldn’t imagine what could possibly justify Obama administration behavior and that is probably a factor in feeling left in the dark. It is clear that they were leaving out the relevant reasoning that justified their actions.

I don’t feel left in the dark by Trump. I did feel left in the dark by Obama.
