Eleven weeks into his administration, Trump's Syrian airstrikes appear to have achieve what until last night appeared impossible: unite much of Congress in support of a Trump decision.

As Bloomberg report, U.S. lawmakers mostly expressed support for Trump's strike against a Syrian airfield in response to an alleged chemical weapons attack, though some cautioned that Congress needs to be consulted on a comprehensive strategy if the strike is a harbinger of things to come.

Better write this one down and file it safely. I would not count on the support from the Dems even if they vouched it.

We should all be wary when both political parties and the MSM are all beating the drums for war. I see no vital US interest in this whatsoever.

Trump Unites Congress: US Lawmakers Largely Support Syria Air Strikes

1 Congress loved LBJ too, when he expanded the Vietnam "Conflict", so much so that he was reelected with the largest majority in US history.

2 Congress is so united that Gorsuch was confirmed by acclimation, and the Nuclear Option was an April Fool prank.

3 Congress loves Trump so much that a Bipartisan effort repealed Obamacare, and restored the free market based, consumer empowering, best medical care system in the world.

Thank you President Trump for not faking the red button and the redline crap but taking full action! Thank you for making me feel America Will return to being a power house once again! You did this in the face of the Chinese prime minister and you did not relent and you did not retracted .... thank you thank you!
