They certainly have it tough in India! I wouldn't want to live there. I grew up in Eastern Europe. Tough winters, hot humid summers. Occasionally hotter and colder. Nothing really change there since. Same stuff happening.

But I agree global warming is a big problem.

I'm just saying he went in an Isley Brother came out full hard core NWABA.
Face it you're not a Black Icon with street cred in this country until you advocate shooting the PoPo.

I had the same thought. The reality is that it is hard to classify deaths as due to the heat wave or other things. Obviously with 1e9 people, on the order of 1e7 people die each year or on the order of 30K die each day. A lot of these are older people who die of heart attack, stroke, etc. It's hard to directly tie heat to these things. This is one reason that it's hard to compare death classifications between countries. I've read that we are more likely to classify a death as due to heart disease than France. This can mislead people who are comparing heart disease between the countries. I would guess that this heat took out a lot more than 2 people, but we don't know how many.

As most Americans are so easily distracted by being over-worked, struggling to secure a livelihood by leveraging what they can to improve their education vocational skills to make up for the drying up of OJT, AND consumering too, the entire system got piggy. Not just the federal government which is widely bemoaned even by talk radio bullies, but LOCAL GOVERNMENT TOO, especially the money-making parts of it like the ENFORCEMENT gravy train, which includes of course PROSECUTION, JUDGEMENT, and INCARCERATION.

ALL OF THIS SHIT IS IN DIRE NEED OF CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT.

You are so full of shit, it does not even shock me anymore.
Your narrow view of America is that of someone who only knows a life of crime in the inner cities. There is more to America than the inner cities. Most Americans are middle class, suburban dwellers. Take the example of Irvine, Ca......a safe, upper middle class, well educated, professional population that seldom have problems with the law. I would consider myself as an upper class suburban dweller. My last crime was a fucking parking ticket almost 10 years ago. I don't live in Irvine, but why can't most people live in a middle class city, and just obey the law? It's not hard.
You go on and on about how America dealt you a bad hand, how horrible our system is, and how it's everyone else's fault for your situation. Stop whining.

You forgot to add, also from Kenya.

Yeah he aint from Kenya his brother said he's too House for that. Obama avoided his Kenyan brother like Clinton avoided his Black Son.

You, you, you, you THINK you are so rich, your OPINION OF YOURSELF is that YOU are successful. heheheh.

I think i'm middle class. To you that might be really rich. he he he.

You baited me into talking about myself, and I saw that and sidestepped you, and then you attack me as if I ever did say one thing about my own life.

I have no intention of trying to bait you. It's your paranoia. The whole system is out to get you.

jazz music says

On second thought you should stay checked out because the reason why so many less people cannot live in decent homes any more is because there are too many people like you that want to get money for nothing, more and more all the time, jobs compensate less, jobs go offshore, jobs are short term, less stability, real estate goes out of reach, never ending wars that congress has no control over, oppression of countries with resources, bases and administrations that prefer to deal with other banks and oil companies.

There you go again. A hundred million people live in decent homes. Most of them worked for their living. I never ever took a single day of unemployment even though I was unemployed at times, because I took up temporary jobs before i got the right one. My first job as a teenager was 2 hours 45 minutes away one way, in the dead of cold winter. Not once did I whine, because whining is for losers.

jazz music says

Every fucking human need stands opposed by a monster class of investors that want more money for nothing and the only wages that are not trending to zero are those paid for betrayal of the electorate and working families all over the world.

The problem is that a limit needs to be set and shareholders don't like it. Should we continue to coddle them or regulate them?

I think we should stop blaming others for our misfortunes.

You go on and on about how America dealt you a bad hand

SHOW ONE example where I mentioned my life. YOU CAN'T YET YOU TALK ABOUT MY LIFE like a damned fool and so you are full of shit. AND I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO SYMPATHY FOR YOU.

Your whining says it all.

Again, you are delusional. GIVE ONE EXAMPLE OF ME MENTIONING MY SITUATION.

You got nothing but childish ad hominem. THAT IS WHAT YOUR COMMENT IS ALL ABOUT. you are trolling.

SHEIT. I NEVER EVEN MENTIONED THE STINKING ABUSE OF CIVIL FORFEITURE.

The dirty filthy justice system is like Trump. It is so outrageous, just as much as it possibly can be, that you can't begin to cover the abuse without taking up too much time so they keep on getting away scot free.

Nothing to say about that poor air force officer? Mr. shit covered FBI badge?

There you go again. Why are you so miserable?

jazz music says

Strategist says

that might be really rich. he he he.

Funny boy. Always the troll. WHY IS THAT?

You are covering up the fact that you have no substance or ability to rationally argue.

How do you argue or debate with someone who does not see reality?

jazz music says

Because the banks are bearing down on your security, there's no safe harbor for savings any more, you are in dread of market regulation but that is the obvious solution to America's misery.

A limit needs to be set and shareholders don't like it.

Should we continue to coddle them or regulate them?

Limits will be set sooner or later. --they must

Why? Because you think other peoples success comes out of your pocket? In reality, it's their success that fills the stomach of the poor.

jazz music says

Again. Have some substance if you expect a man to speak to you. You don't understand how people assess personality do you?

Ha ha ha. You probably assess me as a greedy capitalist pig. Do you really think I care?

I was going to make this post with the title Trump goes to war. Thanks for the pictures. It would make a good board book. How long did it take him to start a war?

Let's wait and see what he hits. He might be hitting Obama's Rebels weapon stockpiles just as easily as Syrian targets.

Wait, Obama didn't bomb Syria for a year, not just with cruise missiles?

Now, on the other side of the equation, I doubt chemical weapons were used by Syria. No point, not with Iran and Russia helping and ISIS on the retreat.

However, there is every incentive for Qatar-Saudi Arabia to conduct a false flag attack, because their Jihadis are desperate and against the wall.

Interestingly, this might kill the health Care baby Trump was trying to conceive with his Rand Paul romp on hole nineteen. His partner in Republican love is going to be disappointed.

This is a disaster. How does the administration even know where the chemical weapons came from, so soon after the attack? Have they even analyzed the chemicals? Meanwhile, "700 children have been killed in U.S. coalition airstrikes in Iraq and Syria since August 2014." Blasting apart with bombs is about as bad as gas. It looks like President Trump has capitulated within his own administration, removing Flynn and Bannon and resuming the same war policy Hillary Clinton campaigned on.

Yep, not happy right now about this. Bomb the hell out of ISIS, not secular Syria.

Good, I am beginning to like Trump more and more. measured and intelligent man. This is a message-not words like OBama. Brutes understand force and this is yet-just a Hey dude try that again and it will be your palace next-but no escalations and forces-good.

Oh the Russia loving dems who now hate Russia-will they start loving Russia again??

The war in Syria has been going on for years now.

Good job Trump, JCS, NSC. This looks like a very good response.

I eat my words. Trump's reaction IS different. This is in line with typical America foreign policy and EXACTLY what Obama should have done.

Now, we see what Russia and Syria say. :)

curious2 says

Because we watched the planes hit their targets with chemical weapons. We have amazing capabilities. 1 airfield hit, the one that launched and received the planes.

That's a GREAT and measured response.

We didn't declare war. We aren't saying there are more attacks to come. We spanked them. We are saying to the world: you play with this stuff and you can expect to hear from us.

This is FAR FARRRRRRR from isolationist America First though. :) Prove me wrong again Trump. Go start working on South Sudan. ;)

No joke. Good job tRump.

Finally a CiC who has the balls to bitchslap the world's despots.

I wonder if he has a tommyhawk app on his cellphone to initiate the launch?

The interesting things now, because this was so fast, are:

- Russia
- What air corridors in Syria become problematic for us in fight against IS
- Iran

We also have Rangers and other troops, 400+, on the ground near Raqqa helping Syrian forces to train up to take the city from IS. The region got a whole lot less friendly tonight.

So, right response, on a time table faster than I thought would be done.

Boooo-hissssssss.

Flashback from the past: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-23876085
2013. Russia brokered Syria chemical weapons disarmament deal. Controlled and monitored by Russia. For that, Putin was praised like a knight in shiny armor because he averted international crisis.
"Brokered disarmament", LOL.
"He'll set up a meeting with someone that you absolutely trust, guaranteeing your safety. And at that meeting, you'll be assassinated."

Lashkar_i_Trumpi says

Yep, not happy right now about this. Bomb the hell out of ISIS, not secular Syria.

Do both. Did Obama ever bomb any of Assad's facilities? I believe the vast majority of US bombing and ground force action in Syria has targeted ISIS until today.

I think it is smart to target Assad's military bases in response to the use of chemical weapons. We can't live in a world where the use of chemical weapons is tolerated. We can't let that genie out of the bottle and it deserves a special response.
