When he escalates in Syria haphazardly let's just hope him and putin are friendly enough to not start ww3

Overlooked is that he's meeting w Xi today at his ****ing golf resort which could likely shape international relations for decades at a critical time in chinas development and as they are looking the fill the world leadership vacuum

What happened to the days of letting dictators go into exile? Can't we just let Assad go hang out in Moscow with an endless supply of hookers and stop the whole poison gas thing without starting WWIII?

You think you can elect someone as dumb and impulsive as trump and not get involved in a war right away? Might be a good time to have more than 15 people employed in the state department though.

also this was good from THE INTERCEPT

With Trump’s ascendancy, it’s possible that the parties will reorient their views on war and peace, with Trump moving the GOP to a more dovish direction and Clinton moving the Democrats towards greater support for war.

That doesn't look like a face that would even harm a fly.

I so hope that report that Bannon calls Kushner a cuck behind his back to other WH people is true.

The commercials followed by the ethangate thing is what got all the state eyeballs on DFS. Then once that happened the special interests in the states (religious groups, indian gambling interests, etc) put their 2 cents in.

With how fast the industry grew, maybe something like that would've happened sooner or later regardless but 100% the mass advertising was the cause of it. And despite the fact most people are cool with more liberal gambling laws, people loathed those 2 sites because of the advertising.

Just don't really see what's so special about now. If you're scared now you were already scared. If you weren't scared before you're not going to be scared now.

There's a 0% chance of a nuclear bomb being detonated at any point in the future of our species imo.

Also what do you guys propose we do?

Perhaps something like this?

"Assad has an air force, and that air force is the cause of most of these civilian deaths as we have seen over the years and as we saw again in the last few days," Trump said in a speech in New York City. "And I really believe that we should have and still should take out his air fields and prevent him from being able to use them to bomb innocent people and drop sarin gas on them."

Taking out the air fields seems like a bold strategy cotton but maybe it'll pay off

Pundits calling the slaughter of people with sarin gas an "incident" is gross.

Someone tell the Middle East correspondents that they can shed the indigenous scarf in the studio. Sudden sandstorms are rare at CNN HQ.

Uh, yes, she would be less scary, because she learns things and listens to people.

She's openly advocating for airstrikes against the Syrian airforce but you're hiding under your kitchen table because Trump might.....order airstrikes against the Syrian airforce?

The big ads didn't help but that proves my points even further. Not all publicity is good.
