Good work on the part of our generals! Take out Assad’s forces completely, and we’ll call it great work!

As for the whiners here, it’s a war, not a bathhouse meeting of gay bar associates. The enemy’s efforts to build nuclear weapons bases in that area are being refused. The situation is not that of a civilian trial.

"As long as this doesn’t escalate into a ground war, he’s got my full support."

On that, though, it does also depend on what the enemy does. There's been quite a ground war there for some time, and the Russian politicians have been threatening to go beyond acting in an advisory capacity (e.g., Putin's repeated implications about nuking us).

[ I hear there’s gas attacks on THE SW BORDER of THE USA
Let’s launch an ICE ATTACK! ]

Even if we had a video of Juan Valdez eating an atomic burrito and then farting on and killing a child with the noxious fumes no one would be calling for an attack on Mexico....

[ I voted for Trump because Cruz, Marco, Kasich, Bush, and everyone else wanted to go into Syria. ]

A lot of people did, there was a damned good reason why iJeb! didn’t see crap for support.

Hillay’s “We came, we saw, he died” was used as a talking point AGAINST her, I sure as hope we aren’t gonna see history repeat.

The UK and France are not allies.

Remember how the UK interfered with our election to help Hillary by producing that fake dossier?

Not to mention that the average Brit HATES Americans and looks down on us. I despise the lot.

Theresa May is mentally unstable and is becoming more dangerous by the day.

As for France, they have always been untrustworthy. Macron is a Globalist puppet who actually worked for a Rothschild bank. That fact should tell you all you need to know. I despise the little momma’s boy.

We need to leave Syria and mind our own business.

Your opinions are duly noted. We share some overlap in that regard, but I still contend that Britain and France are basically allies of the U.S., even though our countries have differences.

Don’t be silly. She is as lightweight as they come. The Putinist fairy tale that she ordered a false flag gas attack in Syria is beyond parody.

I’ll give them some slack. They’ve been gaslit for a week by a hysterical Michael Savage and others.

They’ve been like this since the primary.

We’ve either been invaded by DU refugees or a band of regular Freepers who have succumbed to brainwashing.

Yep. Unfortunately, the armchair isolationist brigade has managed to brainwash a few good folks into abandoning POTUS. That is EXACTLY what Putin wants. He wants Americans divided and bickering amongst ourselves so fascist Russia has a free hand to exert it’s influence in the world.

It was ever thus.

Russia had never been closer to success until the Table Toppler showed up.

I remember having to listen to the same type of nervous nellies during the Reagan years.

We didn't have the internet then, so it was mostly co-workers and liberal family members.

Just like today, they generally didn't have an original thought, and just repeated the MSM talking points.

During his fourteen months in office, Trump has not let me down, but one time, and that was his signing of the last omnibus bill.

About the same for me. The omnibus is not "the swamp" but it does fund the managerial state, an appendage of the swamp. I'm sure it also contains Dem money for various "community organizations", i.e. leftist causes.

I am not that upset with the magnitude of the spending. We can grow the economy and grow out of some of our debt. But the continued spending on big government, even under Trump, means there is no hope for eliminating big government.
