what a joke

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Assad doesn't need chemicals to wage war on his own people.

I won't even be surprised if he used Nukes if he got and his reply will be "Guys we are just fighting ISIS "

McConnell dodges when asked where Trump gets his legal authority to attack in Syria, says he believes Trump had the authority.

Still expect congress as a whole to refuse to bring down a vote as none of them likely want to be tied to action. All the same, they're rolling out the red carpet to line up and praise him while washing their hands of the act at the same time. Unilateral action has the benefit of getting shit done in their minds and still making it possible to criticize while in reality their inaction spurs more Trump solo decisions if things go south.

 

[KingBroly]

Oh look, Bannon.

Where's Pence?

In Washington, overseeing the Gorsuch vote. He is President of the Senate, after all.

He took the picture. /s

 

[SomTervo]

This kind of trash has been exposed.

1. Post a bunch of shit on twitter via multiple tweets.

2. Hide posts.

3. Unhide posts when something even close happens, date stamps stays the same, looks like you predicted the future.

Ohoh, cheeky

It's good they're doing something, but... come on

Thank you.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Would assume it's intentional. Makes for a good photo op for him I'd imagine.

I assumed that too but it was funny how it is similar.

LOL

Someone needs to photoshop Kellyanne Conway into that picture :lol

Looks like they're trying to create a Trump version of the Bin Laden raid picture. Instead they just look like a bunch people at the kids table at thanksgiving dinner waiting for their turn to get turkey.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Of course not. I don't think Trump cares much about that however.

Like I said earlier in the thread, it'll be interesting to see what Trump's response is when Assad barrel bombs another hospital.

I assume the reaction will be the same as when the Trump admin drops a bomb and wipes out 200 civilians.

and a nice KEEP YOUR REFUGEES for good measure.

On the table with her feet tucked underneath her.

Seems likely ya. Nobody wants to actually go to war in Syria.

 

[Ithil]

Looks oddly like the Obama raid photo.

It's absolutely intentional, trying to get a PR photo. Except instead it looks like a room of bored old white men.

Definitely not. Going to be a lot of saber rattling, though.

I pray it doesn't escalate.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

It's baffling to see how romanticized fucking missile strikes are. All of the glee and chest puffing over this is beyond disgusting.

Particularly considering how neutered it actually was, and there's that fact the admin took a pro-assad stance right before he decided to gas more people. GOOD ONE!. Refugees will still be banned, and the US will continue to drop more bombs elsewhere.

He righted no wrongs, and people are awash in praise? It's fucking stupid.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Well he is Trump's servant.

Well almost every major nation one can think of has backed it. This isn't a Rep or Dem thing.

The use of chemical warfare has been banned by humanity and we should make it to where they can't use them.

And a very tame response to underline the point.

A bit over simplified like people just wheeling Hillary out. More than half the world agrees someone should have bit back at Assad for using chemical weapons yet again. Okay, it's America that has fired off the warning, but as I tried to argue earlier in this topic at times that does end up coming with the territory of being one of the biggest countries. Hence all the European countries coming out in unison now to be like "yay, someone did it!".

Criticisms of Trump should be more about now asking for detailed breakdowns of their intelligence (we've got some tidbits), and still pressuring America as a whole to stop being so over the top on their refugee/travel bans.

This site is using fox news as the source, just to be clear.

we are deliberately causing famine in yemen while bombing the shit out of civilian targets in several different countries with whom we are not at war

america has no moral standing here

If the only source that's reporting it is Fox News, it would be smart to be skeptical about this report.

Oh please.

The US navy is like:

The US probably has 3 or 4 submarines tailing the Russian warship.

Oh look, Bannon.

Where's Pence?

Bannon doesn't have a seat at the table.
