Some of the Syrians I followed last night were very happy that the US was taking out the chemical areas. They were cheering.
My pleasure.
And the person never makes a comment or answers any questions. Like some kind of mute mime just posting unsubstantiated crap picked up anywhere on the Internet.
When the dogs are barking in the yard, civilized folks should stay in the house.
I like to go kick a dog oncet in a while.
(that's a metaphor for you "dogs are people" people.)

Oh, I saw some guy named Raiderboy get banned or suspended yesterday. He was going INSANE with anti Trump rants. AND he's a Raider fan. "Justice was swift and sure, and in the form of a steel hanky."
Politenessman.
Thank you for that image.
If I post this again I’m gonna get banned:

My favorite Maddog.
That's how I see it, Billy. Basically. I join you on that prediction train. I bet we're right.
Nostrabagus
p.s. The raggedys understand only one thing. An ass whooping.
I know, I know... My will power is not made of stern enough stuff.
What’s a steel hanky, precious....
Yay about the banning, I hope it is permanent.
According to preliminary reports from Syria, the cruise missiles and bombs launched by U.S., British and French planes caused significant damage to the targets. Yet they don’t seem to have significantly jeopardized the survival of Bashar Assad’s regime, which has withstood worse. And without a coordinated American effort to renew aid to rebel groups straining under Russian and Iranian pressure, there is no real danger hovering over the Syrian regime. Trump is showing no signs of going down that road.
Senior Pentagon officials said in a press conference that the strike’s targets involved chemical and biological weapons production sites, chosen to minimize the risk of casualties among civilians and foreign troops. Defense Secretary James Mattis said the objective was to deter Assad and impair the regime’s capability of using weapons of mass destruction in the future. If this is how the attack lines have been drawn, the United States doesn’t seem to be shifting its strategy in Syria. Moreover, the West is in effect telling Assad that as far as it is concerned, he can continue to slaughter civilians as long as he doesn’t do so with banned chemical weapons.
Responding to the Douma attack, Trump has taken the right step for the second time in a year. Will the balance of power in Syria shift as a result? That is doubtful. Journalists in Washington reported on a behind-the-scenes argument within the administration: Mattis and U.S. generals recommended a limited strike, fearing a clash with Syria; John Bolton, Trump’s new, hawkish national security adviser, pushed for a more extensive attack. For now, it seems the generals have prevailed.**Part of article.
To be fair, I saw a couple NeverQs taking up for the Trumpster. Not all NeverQs are NeverTrumps, I don't think.
It is getting very, very tiresome. And with so much of it way off the deep end, it’s too wearisome to figure out when they’re okay.
Trump has picked excellent people each step of the way.
In the case of Mad Dog, you can see his experience and wisdom guiding POTUS.
Yes indeed, you are so right. Overlap, but not synonymous.
I think he picks his people on the basis of asking them ‘what would YOU do if your POTUS totally backed you up’? and liking their answer.
Some autistic person posted it on the April Showers hashtag. They said it was their direction of thinking what (April Showers) could possibly mean. It refers to an event quite popular in Iran.
I’m sure MSM wants to be covering Comey, Cohen, Stormy ... but there is a lot of media available of missiles being launched etc. from DoD et. al. that is a far more visually graphic than Stephy + James Comey & Ambassador Haley is more cogent than the other cast of characters. Only certainty is that there will little if any mention of Horowitz IG report on McCabe. Otherwise it’s an unusually tough call for MSM to pick from lol ;)
To which thread are you referring? Please and Thank Q!
Was that a briefcase or his lunch? I heard he was about to “eat his lunch “!
They were probably JDAMs, I don’t think the Lancer has the internal capacity to mount 9 or 10 Tomahawks.
Somebody in the know more, correct me if I’m wrong...
I do this when I have to stop, so I can find my place when I start reading again. I’m usually about 500 posts behind and it makes it easier to find.
You will notice that I pinged myself, so what’s it to you?
