The GOP is going downhill very fast. We just need to wait until the next election cycle to see how many GOP hold their seats.

Do you think we will make it to the next election cycle?

I think I may lose my bet to guijohn on the impeachment now. War is a great distraction from comparatively mundane DC shenanigans.

The war may float Trump through several months. If he bombs that fat retard in Korea, a few more, and if he cleans up Obama's premature ejaculate in Iran, we'd better get used to whatever the hell iteration of Republicans evolves in the interim.

Made me laugh.

The bet stands. I think I'll come back as Bunny Lebowski if Trump pulls this off.

Tuck this feather in ur hat: Feds spent $100 mil to bomb airbase in Syria but couldn't find $55 mil to fix pipes in Flint #WhoCaresAboutKids

And doesn't that tell us all we need to know about where power and influence reside and who in the nation are deemed of no importance.

How ridiculous is your reasoning?

Yes...Very specious.

but he did it for the wrong reason.

The reason being a 35% good job rating and a 55% poor job rating. He couldent care less about a few 10's of kids getting gassed too death.

I'm told that satellites, thousands of miles up in space, can use telescopic resolutions so powerful that they can read the date on a penny lyin on the sidewalk.

A Syrian refugee speaks out.

Quote:

A Syrian refugee who was shouted down at a Stop the War demonstration says he "felt oppressed" by the group.

The protest in Downing Street on Friday evening was against the American attack on a Syrian airbase.

Hassan Akkad, from Damascus, asked why the group was not protesting against President Assad instead, but was drowned out.

He said: "British people not letting a Syrian say something about Syria in a protest about Syria. It's mad."

After a video of the encounter video was shared widely online, Mr Akkad told the BBC: "I didn't see them protesting against the chemical attacks, I didn't see them protesting against Putin bombing Syria for the last two years.

"I wanted to go to that protest and I wanted to observe.

"I went to the protest and I saw a group of 30 people with placards, not a single mention of Assad.

"All the placards are against Donald Trump and they're repeating baseless slogans with their megaphones."

He added: "I went to them respectfully and said, 'Listen I'm a Syrian refugee who lives here and I have an opinion, it's a protest about Syria I want to say something'.

"They didn't even address me, they ignored my existence. With their megaphones they went louder and louder and the organisers told them to carry on."

Mr Akkad left Syria in September 2015. He says he was imprisoned twice and tortured for protesting against Assad's regime.

He left his family there and made an 87-day journey to the UK.
Mr Akkad said when the US launched its attack on a Syrian airbase, it did so with "great accuracy" whereas, he said, Assad's bombers "literally shred people down".

"They [President's Assad's forces] have killed hundreds of thousands, we've lost our home, we were displaced, we were made refugees all because of the Assad regime," he said.

"People were tortured to death, chemical attacks, all sort of attacks barrel bombs shredding children and flattening down entire cities.

"So bombing Assad's war machines is in our favour because that means less Syrian civilians will die, less children will die."

After the group would not let Mr Akkad speak, he said: "I felt oppressed, it was like being back in Syria. Like how the Syrian police used to mute our voices.

"I'm not going to be silenced I have the right to say what I believe.

"I left the protest. I was angry, I was livid."

The story ain't much

ISIS is known to possess and have previously used chemical weapons.

Perhaps a better way to think of this problem is that "live and let live" is not well equipped to deal with "kill the enemy".

Are you suggesting that Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are practicing "live and let live" ??? Really ???

I distinctly remember Republicans (and Tulsi Gabbard) defending Assad back when Obama wanted to get rid of him.

Some facts and rational analysis.

Next Trump is going to close Gitmo, because it's only a good idea if a 70 year-old white man wants to try it.

Now suddenly all Republicans will back Trumps's decision, yet, they prevented any attempt Obama made.
