And, maybe Syria does do it again. (I doubt it) But if they do, Assad's regime is going to be gone very quick.

Unless Trump is a bluffer, and that would not be good

He made a red line they clearly crossed and we did nothing.


Congress literally told him not to.

Jesus Corrik.

So he did nothing. What is not to understand? I don't care who told him to do what. The end result is. He did nothing.


Nothing except drop over 10,000 bombs.

Got it.

10,000 bombs.

Trump dropped just under 60.

Therefore, Obama is worth over 166 Trumps.

I really think there is no practical distinction between bombing a sovereign nation and being at war with them.

Or in your opinion do you need ground warfare for it to count as war?

Well, war in my mind is something that could be two-sided. That said, every President skirts Congress when they want to for the most part.

This is good cuz his plan while in the right direction was massively flawed. I like the elimination of the payroll tax curreny being floated as an idea.

I'd sure hope not

because the fact that it doesn't spread after being bombed was literally the response from the US govt when Russia said "it wasn't an Assad chem strike, but a strike in a Rebel Supply that released it".

that is actually a news article worth reading because the headline is just the tip of the story.

so how would that work? assad was using chemical weapons but privately, russia saw it, realized there was a real chance of being caught, and blew it up? i mean that would lend itself to the idea of the US and Russia both benefiting from the attack - somebody forced assad to sit the fuck down and quit being stupid.

(he's still gonna be stupid but that's besides the point.)

Two things I'm not entirely sure about:

1) How the Court of Appeals works and how this is important.

2) How Republicans keep fighting to take out Cooper's powers.

Court of Appeals at the state level is likely in between the trial courts (lowest level, where cases will originally go) and the supreme state court, if I had to guess. It's something that generally wouldn't get much attention, but with republicans throwing temper tantrums whenever they can...
