Listening to the news right now, CNN is reporting that the Trump administration has launched 50 Tomahawk cruise missiles against airfields in Syria. I have no links for this yet. If confirmed, this seems like a pretty bold and decisive move on Trump's part.

Scary stuff, man, especially with Russia's warnings of "negative consequences" if America attacked Syria.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

They're now saying on TV that they're primarily targeting the Shayrat Airfield, where they believe the poison gas attacks originated from.Middle-of-the-road swing voter. Feel free to sway my opinion.

Can't find much information about this other than chest thumping and empty pontificating from the media. I think I'll sleep on it and see what the analysis is in the morning.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

"The War Powers Resolution requires the President to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30-day withdrawal period, without a Congressional authorization for use of military force (AUMF) or a declaration of war by the United States."

In the context of thinking about that last tweet, this headline from yesterday is worth bearing in mind: Donald Trump's approval rating hits new low."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

It's worth noting that there is severe doubt that the user of the chemical weapons was Assad. Assad's government has basically now won the civil war against the rebels. The last thing he would want to do is bring the US into a war that he has won. If he wanted to massacre a few civilians he has plenty of other ways of doing it - hitting them with chemical weapons is just not at all rational, and Assad is an intelligent and educated man. It's also worth noting that Assad gave what chemical weapons he had to the US to stop them invading him under Obama, so it's doubtful he's got any left."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

I would have celebrated Obama as the greatest President ever had he the wisdom to permanently get out of the middle east.
I was hoping I could celebrate Trump as the greatest President ever - but like all those before he just had to stick his finger in the middle eastern pie.
Let me know if you're willing to be President and stay the hell out of the middle east.
I'll write out a campaign check today.
So Trump, I'm through with you.
Die in a fire.Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101
