After, I always get mad.

Mad is good. Gives me a kick for striving for the right thing to do.

...you know he was wanting this.

Hmm...posted this earlier, a time line.

So, let’s follow this timeline:
◾In 2013, Assad uses chemical weapons on civilians.
◾Obama almost immediately threatens military action in response to the use of those monstrous weapons.
◾Assad then surrenders stockpiles of chemical weapons and doesn’t use any for nearly four years.
◾Trump enters office as “president,” making it clear that he’s not going to say anything negative about Russia or Vladimir Putin — Assad’s most powerful ally.
◾A few days ago, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson essentially makes it clear that the U.S. will not be involved in any attempt to force Assad out of power.
◾On Tuesday, after not using them during the last 3 1/2 years of Obama’s administration following a threat of military force, and shortly after the Trump administration says they’ll not push for his removal from power, Assad uses chemical weapons on civilians.

But Trump, Republicans, and his supporters are trying to claim this is because of the “weakness” of the Obama administration — nearly three months after he left office?

To take the heat off of the Trump-Russia collusion.

Brian Williams was shocked. Tweety said to call him a cynic.

So many people also suspect this pResident is wagging the dog.

I will likely call in sick tomorrow. Recently started a new job, trumper-boss is obnoxious on a goood day, I know he'll be nauseating after this. I know I would not be diplomatic & would be fired or walk out. I will take a mental health day, & meditate, & get prayed up. I can't believe my country is in this mess, and so many weirdos support this insanity.
