I have few problems with the strikes, Assad has been a nightmare for the world for to long. More nations should stand up to him. I have a problem with how Trump went about it. How he didn't seek congressional approval. How this is going to be played up a him being strong on Assad, when they called ahead first to make sure the Russians and Syrian government had time to remove anything worth hitting. There are 5 more airstrips in Syria. This shows all the signs of someone who wants to do the bare minimum possible, and then be praised. In response to some of your thoughts. Apparently they couldn't move worthy stuff out. I still think losing time would grant them the opportunity. | ||

We have a pretty advanced military last time I checked. I don't believe our congress is sufficiently advanced enough to hold votes that require any level of debate at all at the moment, however. | ||

Hitchens was right about her she has to be in the spotlight as it's her therapy to believe she is always relevant somehow. She ain't disappearing yet! Guys, guys--she understand why she wasn't elected. Bernie Sanders. Then emails and some other stuff. Unironic use of "weaponization of information." It's just rich. | ||

You are not wrong on that front. But I'm not pumped about ceding more power to the executive branch to make up for their short comings. | ||

But seriously, someone has to have some fucking sense, the further we go, the more likely we end up starting multiple wars | ||

Fight! Fight!" And it'll probably end the same way. Who's Tough Guy T, the US? Since when did Asshole A throw a tomato? Did I miss something? This was all Tough Guy T acting on his own just to show that he's tough, just like this Tough Guy T talked about Hong Kong and China's involvement within the first couple weeks of presidency because he wanted to "send a message". | ||
