I have to say Prez Twitler was a lot less of a concern back in the old days when he was saying to stay out of Syria.

FML, why did this nincompoop survive childbirth? Damn you Fred Trump. Damn you!

Just didn't know when. Whatever his current approval rating is should be noted as the point at which Twitler starts playing with missiles. A few points lower and he switches over to nukes.

This is just so frustrating.

it was reported that this was strike was not discussed with Russia, which I do not believe this was discussed with Putin and trump beforehand.

Let's not forget that the reason Assad is trying to win a civil war in Syria is because Bush destroyed Iraq for no fucking good reason whatsoever. THIS is what we should be screaming our fool bloody heads off about.

Yeah, Assad is an asshole who should have been removed from power already. More bombs won't fix the fact that the power he currently has, is mostly our fault. Obama knew this, and did the best he could with the resources he had available.

Trump knows NOTHING, neither did Jr.
