He did it. The mother fucker actually started a war

[demtenjeep]

God this blotus is sick and disgusting


you KNOW he is doing this to take attention off Russia

[Hayabusa]

1. Wag the fucking dog...

[Ilsa]

25. Yeah. I sure as hell hope we're not expected to

Praise him or take heat off him in the investigation.

It's not a war. Not yet.

[SummerSnow]

2. Yes he did. Damn damn.

[flamingdem]

3. And in coordination with the Russians

because this is a lot of BS as was the sad face Trump put on for the media about the attacks.

[sarah FAILIN]

4. I told my rep coworkers today..

Wag the dog is coming

[sharp_stick]

5. No this is diplomatic posturing

It's an attempt to look like the big dog.

Now we'll see what Putin thinks.

[flamingdem]

12. He'll get his poodle in place quickly

if it wasn't something they planned together as theater

[GP6971]

6. And I bet

no Russian assets were in the area and 45/140 got permission from putin.

And in his mind, he thinks it makes 45/140 look strong in front of the Chinese.

What an arrogant, ignorant asshole.

[dalton99a]

11. Had to be pre-approved by Putin.

[global1]

13. Pre-approved And Coordinated With Putin To....

take the heat off this Russian interference with the election and Trump and the Repugs collusion with Russia.

God Help Us All!!!!

[onecaliberal]

7. I don't know what to say if you didn't see this coming.

[Squinch]

8. Yep.

[Yavin4]

9. I knew that he'd be the worst president in the modern era.

I just didn't think that he would fuck things up this fucking fast. Good lord.

[SirBrockington]

15. Surreal. Living in the twilight zone since 11/8

[flamingdem]

10. Agree, and he's a man without a plan and no permission from congress

Link to tweet

[melman]

14. Isn't there another thread

where everyone was praising Clinton for suggesting this?

[SirBrockington]

16. I thought it was stupid for her to wade in

Just as it was stupid for Trump to wade into the OReilly controversy. They'll use her statements as cover.

[KittyWampus]

17. This isn't a war. Your OP is wrong. It's ignorant of the actual facts.

[spiderpig]

18. We know how much he enjoys signing things.

I'm sure he got a tingle in his naughty bits (thank you, Church Lady) when he signed off on this.

[onenote]

19. what do you think the appropriate response to the chemical attack was?

Nancy Pelosi described Syria's attack as follows: “The use of chemical weapons on civilians is a war crime that violates every standard of morality and civilized behavior."

Hillary Clinton called for pretty much the same thing as Trump ordered.

There were hundreds of air strike in Syria during the Obama administration.

Do I like it that it has come to this? No
Do I think that the Syrians felt emboldened by Trump's suggesting Syria wasn't a priority? Yes.

But if you think that Democrats are going to line up to condemn an airstrike against Assad, you don't have a clue.

[Jonny Appleseed]

27. It's not the act but the reasons behind the act

We all know Trump doesn't give a shit if Syrians are gassed.

[demtenjeep]

28. exactly

and his more than 10 twitter comments saying President Obama should stay out of it proves his hypocrisy

[onenote]

32. No one cares what Trump thinks. They want action and he gave it to them.

Not acting wasn't a viable option.

[wildeyed]

30. Assad is allied with both Russia and Iran.

They go to GREAT lengths to be certain he maintains his hold in the region. Yes, Assad should be held accountable, but there is great potential for it to spiral into something huge and out of control.... The Trump team is not the brightest and they WANT a war. War serves their interests bigly.... It makes my stomach hurt.

[Catherine Vincent]

20. Yes

And I hope the media doesn't fall for it!

[bdamomma]

24. That is a lot to ask.

On Rachel Maddow that is all they are talking about.

[bdamomma]

21. Another distraction to the Russian story.

Putin taught him well. Geez, tRump gave a 3 minute response, just 3 minutes????? WTF. Just a video from him at Mar A Lago. What an ass he is.

[WinkyDink]

22. What war would that be?

[uponit7771]

23. ONE AIRFIELD THAT CAN BE FIXED IN 2 WEEKS !!! This is like bombing a highway with no cars on it

[jmg257]

26. You mean by lobbing missles at an airfield that launched a chemical attack, in a country we

have and have had troops in active combat/support roles? That war?

[wildeyed]

29. Yes, of course.

Changes the conversation from the Trump Russia investigation, the disgusting way they jammed Gorsuch through the Senate AND provides a jobs program for his moronic supporters. Coal and manufacturing aren't coming back, but war is great plan when you have too many extra people mucking up the system.

Fuck. This is going to be really bad.

[sarisataka]

31. It's not like

We have been flying combat missions over and have troops in Syria.

Oh wait...

[smirkymonkey]

33. It makes me sick the way he justifies this by pretending he actually cares

about the Syrian people. He is so full of shit! There is no other motive for him than to distract and deflect. He is the most revolting fucking person on the planet!
