Trump: "President Obama, do not attack Syria. There is no upside and tremendous downside. Save your powder for another (and more important) day!"
But suddenly now, it's a little different, isn't it tRump?
We can always hope that there will be a lot of Republican civilian casualties.
If you really hope for american civilian casualties, you're an sad excuse for a human being.
What does that have to do with Hillary?
Sorry, why is she relevant? Because magically Trump's position now aligns with hers?
See above. No false narrative needed. I give Trump his one point.
If you think Syria is all we have to complain about maybe you don't know libbies as well as you think you do. ;)
I think the real question people are grappling with right now, especially the Trump supporters is: "I voted for Trump because he said he wasn't going to get involved. What happened?"
Where is your outrage for Trump's actions? Isn't this completely out of character for a protectionist nationalist agenda? ;)
He's controlled by whatever smart person persuades him last. ;)
Check? Dude. Soros pays us all digitally.
Most of us knew about this yesterday. We all knew what she would do in this situation, because she told us last fall. She would have taken the air strips out, though.
You're forgetting she also insisted on a No-Fly Zone, which would A) Help the Jihad ONLY as the Jihadis have no Air Force and B) Start a war with Russia.
C) The magic mole men would also arise from the desert sands to assume their rightful place over humanity.
Another funny thing is that there are no Children in Mosul, only in Aleppo, and American Super Smart Weapons have AI built in that magically detects innocents and self-destructs, even when used in a city siege. That's why we pay Lockheed-Martin the big bucks.
Not one single kid has ever been killed by bombing Syria, Libya, or Northern Iraq by US Munitions.
Also when ISIS uses human shields, we immediately stop bombing and shelling. Unlike the Russians.
Anybody who says otherwise to this is a Putin Agent.

That was an of aspect of Trump's language. 'what? Children died? No one knew that. We've got to do something!'
No one thinks that our military action is free from killing innocent life. It is however better than most militaries in the world by a long shot.
In this current action we told the Russians (and by proxy because they will run right to the Syrians) our intentions an hour ahead of time.
We had 1 missile fail and splash in sea. All 58 others hit the airfield, and the majority of which got their intended specific target: plane, fuel, C&C, munitions, bunkers.
We told them we were going to destroy their architecture of aggression in that location ... and then did it.
B) Start a war with Russia.
That's doubtful. Her strategy would have passed a bigger risk there, though. Certainly Russia is glad to be dealing with Trump rather than Hillary.
Crap, I haven't seen a nickle..
It's all Starbucks money, so we can:
"Stay wired. Get refugees hired."
That was an of aspect of Trump's language. 'what? Children died? No one knew that. We've got to do something!'
That was an aspect of Haley AND Hillary's language.
And the latter went right to the invade-invade narrative, "We gotta bring in ALL the Syrian Refugees and the KIDS!!!"
No one thinks that our military action is free from killing innocent life. It is however better than most militaries in the world by a long shot.
Of course! When you are bombing cities in support of a siege, kids definitely die and there's no way to avoid it. However the Media did not mention this with Mosul, but hammered it home with repeated gruesome pictures and constant reminders; furthermore they repeated calls from those who demanded a cease-fire against the Jihadis because of it with Aleppo. Even though the opponent is the same!
What we should be is more savvy and cynical when the media pumps one siege, while blasting (no pun intended) another.
PS Notice Swedish (and German, and Marseilles) Truck Attack pictures were too gruesome for most Media; but pictures of both real and staged casualties, including children, in Syria "Has to be seen, the truth may be harsh but we must know it" seems to be the operating principle.
Maybe the Media should have ONE policy for ALL kinds of violence.
It all depends on what you are trying to get your population to do.
- support aggression against a foreign power
- panic, be fearful, and attack your own population and way of life
You would help weaponize terrorism to a further degree. Though I agree with the general principal, we just aren't smart enough to handle some things as they are occurring to us.
Last Week:
"Trump supporters are all cult-like, no matter how much he shifts gears, they follow him Blindly."
This Week:
"Trump supporters are criticizing Trump... It's the end!!! Haw Haw!!!"*
*Nevermind that for the first time since he arrived in office, the Establishment I voted for is saying nice things about him!

And you're weaponizing invade-invite. YOU just aren't smart enough to get hip to the scam, or you support the scam.
Ah, the Eurocrat opinion. "we're" = "the hoi polloi scum who don't understand how largely unemployed, hostile populations enrich the nation by filling up rentals that would slowly go increasingly vacant as our population becomes more elderly and dies off. What's a few run-over babies for those without limos, ruined schools, and endemic crime and terror if my units keep getting rented. My kids don't go to public school anyway."
I'm certainly not trusting Pointy-Haired Bosses and Trust Fund Babies with Journalism Degrees from Georgetown to make those decisions for me.
Not that it matters, they'll lucky to have jobs and besides the real pics are a click away. You no longer have to subscribe to a newsletter at $50/year to get non-Wall Street alternative opinions.
That's why the Legacy Media is at war with You Tube and what they called "Fake News" before the term was flipped back on them.
Have you seen the Demographics? In 10 years Television viewers and Newspaper Subscribers will be largely in nursing homes.
The internet is "Disrupting" the Middlemen Technocrats who control and reframe information to steer the story "in the right direction" for the Leadership
And you're weaponizing invade-invite.
Have we "invaded" Syria now? That's something I won't support.
I'll join Pepe and the Alt-right in protest against that, if that happens.

Yet we appear as a nation to allow them to run the entire country from the Oval office. Too bad they aren't actually as smart as the media. Their messaging absolutely sucks.

It's very true. I'm getting all my news off the net, but it's pretty big mix of mainstream and alternate sources. Mainstream sources aren't dying by any stretch. They are moving over, and figuring out how to do it.
Many so called alternate sources, are merely just opinion on top of actual reporting. It's newsutainment ... not news at all.

Fox viewers are there now. One foot in the grave.
Fox viewers are there now. One foot in the grave.
From BBC1 to CNN, they aren't much further behind. While everybody hypes Fox News' decrepit average age, few report that CNN is a youthful 61 in comparison:
Through Dec. 15 (which was the day of the last GOP debate), CNN’s median age was 61 years old for total day, and 59 years old for prime time (Monday-Sunday). MSNBC’s audience is two years older, at 63 (for both total day and prime time), while FNC’s is 67 for total day and 68 in prime time. For both MSNBC and FNC that’s the oldest level on record in both dayparts.
Ok, so the difference in Fox is that the average age viewer is older by almost 10 full years and the outlet is plagued with sex scandals. Got it.

Do you not understand that "the establishment" is loving it? I'm laughing my ass off. Keep going Trump!
The score so far for Trump is:
FAIL : immigration, travel ban
FAIL : healthcare/repeal Obamacare
FAIL : floated budget proposal
FAIL : immigration, travel ban v2
WIN : acting-like a Neo-Con on foreign policy
Anti-establishment: -4
Establishment: +1
Next up: the wall and more Russian surprises. I can't wait!

Don't be obtuse Rew.
Would anybody like to own a brand where the average age is over 60?
People carry on like Fox is full of old farts, but CNN and MSNBC are watched by hip young peeps or middle aged ones at best.
45 vs. 65 is a big deal. Or 20 vs. 40. If you've got the 40-somethings, you're getting peeps at their max earning years. If you've got 20, you're gonna probably keep them to their peak earning years. At 60, it's downsizing time. An audience of 61 vs 67 is nothing burger.
All these News Channels' average viewers are old enough to join the AARP.
Not appealing to advertisers. They'd rather sponsor the makeup girls and comedians on Youtube to gain Brand Loyalty for life. 60+ is for Depends, LifeAlert, and Reverse Mortgages
"Some 50% of people is woefully unprepared for a financial emergency, new research finds. "
I know. You would think two insane, effeminate, posturing psychos would at least give each other professional courtesy.
If you are a RetiredFuck on Social Security, you are living from entitlement to entitlement.
Amazing how the First Responders have gas masks handy, but not gloves
You are expecting folks in that war torn hellhole to be perfectly equipped, and therefore not being so means fraud. Crossing the tin foil hat red line?
The California Policy Center (CPC) has just updated it's annual study on pension contributions required from local California municipalities and, to our complete 'shock', the conclusions are brutal for Cali taxpayers. Among other things, the study found that California taxpayers will be forced to double their contributions to CalPERS over just the next 5 years alone from $5.3 billion in 2017/2018 tax year to $9.8 billion in 2022/2023.
Another reason not to live in this fucking state. The greedy politicians, unions and state employees are bleeding us to death.
They just increased the gas and car tax to fix the roads. I told you it was just for the pensions.
Why the fuck does anyone who is a taxpayer stay in California?
It was for the weather. But my bank balance, what's left of it, is getting hit by a tornado.
I told you it was just for the pensions.
Marcus says "Thank You"!
You are welcome, Marcus. Please use the money wisely, I worked hard for it.
How many Republicans are,& will be, sucking up Taxpayers dollars sitting on their asses?
Getting Republicans off Govt. SOCIALIST programs could save a beau coup of money.
Republican taxpayers will sit on their asses & do nothing.
