http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/4/7/1651419/-Prominent-Trump-supporter-tweeted-about-the-attack-an-hour-before-the-attackJust days after Donald Trump Jr. suggested he be given a Pulitzer Prize, Cernovich tweeted, Sources telling me U.S. attack in Syria planned for tonight, we must stop! #NoMoreWar, at 7:40 pm Eastern time, an hour and a half before NBC News broke the news of the airstrike.
...
7:40 p.m.
Fifty-nine Tomahawk missiles were launched from Navy destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean. All 59 hit their target.
8:30 p.m.
Notification of foreign leaders and congressional leadership began. The vice president called several congressional leaders and began calling some foreign leaders. The secretary of State, the secretary of Defense, national security adviser and others were also involved in making those phone calls to...heads of government, defense ministers and congressional leaders.
Between 8:30 - 8:40 p.m.
The first impacts began on the ground. The president informed President Xi that strikes were occurring as their dinner concluded. All along, the national security team continues to monitor the event, the situations.

So, who leaked this to Mike Cernovich?
Who's the leaker?
What else was leaked?
And how is it okay to blab publicly about a military strike before even Congress gets notified of that?
Was the leaker even in the US?
Or was this Alt-Right troll tipped off by the Russians?

The Kushner VS Bannon war is getting BIGLY
It's funny that some of the alt right turds think that we on the left like Kushner. Ha
I was seriously worried over the media war boner picking Trump's polling numbers - and now I'm actually almost coming around to be excited to see the polling next week to see if those Deplorables jump ship and his numbers go lower than I'd ever imagined

(860 posts)that 45 has finally provided putey with some live US cruise missiles to test their anti-missile platform.
Whether they only lit them up or actually took one out, it stands to reason.

(832 posts)I believe, and even I am minutes behind the curve,
all 1,883, 452 missiles hit their targets defeating Assad, ISIS, and certain parts of California that voted for Hillary.
