McCain does that a lot. That maverick nickname needs to die. Basically logic gorsuch goes on court however you have to do it.

since the airfield is still being used I guess we raised the stock of the bomb dropping company and destroyed a couple planes aka not much but got a lot of media fawning all over him. God why do people love bomb dropping more than actually getting things like healthcare?

Trump is presidential again narrative out there, **** off all of you.

I do agree with freedom caucus/rand paul of all people; pres shouldn't be able to just drop bombs on some country military airfield that didn't attack us without congressional approval.

They will do nothing about it obviously.

I know Trump appears to be a hypocrite over Syria, and it's fair to label him that given his public positions, but probably he was never really upset over the prospect of military action there, he was just badmouthing Obama because he's a Democrat just like the rest of the GOP. Trump has been planning to run for POTUS for a long time, so he labeled everything by the opposition party as faulty.

This isn't nearly as tilting as the meme "We let the American people decide," and its various permutations. Mother ****er, the American people didn't choose Trump!

The Chiefsplanet alt-right/America First types are apoplectic - looking for someone to blame.

It was a worthy fight, and at least it shelved Hillary. Maybe he ends up going down in a blaze of glory, but at this point I wouldn't count on him filling any of his promises. I would count on him acting in the way someone with serious blackmail on him would act (and I'm not talking about golden showers and Russian prostitutes - I don't know what they have on him, but it would have to be significant to make him scatter his base to the wind by stepping on a major campaign promise).

I understand that you and others like you heard what you wanted to hear and ignored what he actually said. Now you lay the blame at the feet of the "cabal".

LMAO GTFO with that lame ass ****.
"The Deep State has dirt on Trump" seems to be a popular working theory.

And your Republican party could have had this in place 4 years ago, but they weren't going to support Obama when he wanted to do the same thing.

Any news of when talks will continue at the UN Security Council?

(he still has it made btw as this does nothing to shift power).

I first question whether we can trust US intelligence (or what the Trump administration says is US intelligence). Did the the gas strikes really emanate from that particular airfield? I think this president/administration would lie about something as significant as foreign affairs just as quickly as it does about something as insignificant as crowd size and that's downright scary! Nevertheless, if true, it can't be a bad thing to strike the airfield if the chemical attacks were indeed launched from it.

The other possibility is that Trump truly did have a change of heart for he is a very simple minded man. It's possible that for the first time he actually saw pics and vids of all the children (and even dead babies) who died and some a very slow and agonizing death and that it moved him. Underneath all the faults of this dumb buffoon's bluster, and braggadocio lies the semblance of a heart when he directly sees the horrific effects of something. It's not hard to believe that someone so self-absorbed does not have empathy until something smacks him right in his face. Remember how cordial he was when he first met with Obama at the WH? Or how conciliatory he was to Clinton after receiving her call of concession? Then he goes back to his bluster. Out of sight/out of mind with this president.

And yeah lastly, there's nothing like a war to increase favorable poll ratings for a sitting president and take attention away from all his other problems. So it could be that.

I'm not in any way defending Trump. Just trying to figure out his many personality disorders.
You are probably correct. And you are describing an unfortunate trait of too many humans. Trump exhibited this once before if he was being honest when he said that he became pro life after meeting someone whose parents almost aborted him. Then there was that fellow who switched from being pro capital punishment to anti after watching Saddam's execution.

I try to point that out to people and literally every single one responds with "but those 4 million illegals who voted in California."

"The National Security Council has presented President Trump with options to respond to North Korea's nuclear program — including putting American nukes in South Korea or killing dictator Kim Jong-un, multiple top-ranking intelligence and military officials told NBC News."

It's funny...I forgot all about N Korea for like half the day because of the Syrian strike. I wonder what the **** daily news reports will look like 2 months from now.

I guess Rodman had a chance.

god damnit don't give trump options that no sane person would actually pick for appearances.

You know Kim Jong Un is gonna hear about that report. I guess we'll see what his response is soon enough.

I am not a leftist. I believe that most people who are in bad shape wouldn't be if they studied more, ate right, exercised, and stop taking drugs. It bothers me to help them rather than help people in other countries who don't do those things. However it bothers me even more to keep help from Americans who can't help themselves just to keep undeserving from getting help, especially when there are so many super rich who don't need that money.

The one place I am liberal is regards to groups of people who are being discriminated against due to physical or psychological factors eg race or sexual orientation. Sean Hannity is subhuman compared to Neil deGrasse Tyson or Alan Turing.

Like, think about it, David. Which party really believes in personal responsibility, setting aside the rhetoric. The party who nominated Donald Trump, or the party who nominated Hillary Clinton.
