Rachel Maddow sounded as if she was on the verge of tears last night after President Trump's address to the nation on Syria. She was not nervous about another potential war, per se, but because she feared that our allies might think that America was destroying deadly chemical weapons and trying to save lives simply to distract from President Trump's allegedly ongoing scandals.
"Point of personal privilege here just for a second. You know it is, this is not personal. It's not just spectacle. It is not just political as we follow the news and these incredible days that we have been having recently in our country. It is worth considering on a night like tonight that there are there are national security consequences to having a presidency that is as chaotic as Mr. Trump's presidency, a presidency that is as consumed by scandal and criminal intrigue as his presidency is," Maddow said right after President Trump spoke.
To be fair, Maddow makes some good points here. A presidency awash in chaos and scandal does make for dangerous national security consequences. If the alleged ongoing internal struggle in the White House is even somewhat true, one could understand how and why hurried decisions could occur. However, her concern was not about the planning process of this strike.
"When the president orders missile strikes on Syria on a night like tonight, the strategic effect of that strike will be assessed by both our allies and our enemies....It will therefore affect the utility of this military strike if the President of the United States is believed to have issued the order to launch this strike tonight even in part because people think he wanted to distract from a catastrophic domestic scandal that is blowing up at home at the same time," Maddow warned.
"The perception that the president may have ordered these strikes in part because of scandal will affect the impact and the effectiveness of these military strikes. Unavoidably even if the tail is not wagging the dog," she continued, "Even if you give the president every benefit of the doubt even if his calculations about whether to launch this action against Syria tonight was taken with absolutely no regard for for what else is going on in the president's life right now, what else is going on in the president's life right now on the creates a real perception around the globe that that may have been part of the motivation both for what he did for and particularly for when he did it."
Far-left conspiracy theorist Rachel Maddow suggests President Donald Trump launched the strike against Syria to divert attention away from a "catastrophic domestic scandal."pic.twitter.com/sr81UnpryL— Ryan Saavedra ???? (@RealSaavedra) April 14, 2018
Based on her monologue, it seems as if Rachel Maddow actually believes that President Trump attacked Syria to distract from supposed scandals. But, she never actually provided any evidence other countries believe this. Plus, as Twitchy editor Sam Janney noted, it is not as if this was a unilateral strike. French and British forces played a major role. Israel assisted, too. Were they attacking Syria to help Trump distract from catastrophic domestic issues?
Sam poignantly summarized an appropriate response to Maddow's segment - "People watch this crap?"
This is pathetic.
In order to believe this you would have to accept that Trump somehow convinced France, the UK and Israel to ally with the US in order to divert attention from ‘scandal’.

She looks like the dyke version of Zuckerburg.
Trump attacked Syria because he knew it would cause Rachel Maddow make a fool of herself.
One thing for sure, lunatic Maddow will never star in a follow-up movie to “A Few Good Men” or “Looking for Mr. Goodbar”.
Perhaps she’ll land a leading in roll in “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”. After all she is one of the greatest talk show hosts “Drama Queens” in modern day television, or is that “ Shepard Smith?
Somebody please keep her on her meds. She’s becoming a disgrace to the pharmaceutical industry because she refuses to take medicine for her more than obvious mental aberrations (like sanity, coherence, rationality, and facing reality).

#24. She’s “the best” at what? Conspiracy theories, fake news, Marxist propaganda and disinformation, sheer stupidity, and just because she has her MBS degree, it doesn’t mean she’s sane. MBS = Masters in Bull Shit.
Other than that, she’s an ok kinda gal.
She might be too tall for pillow Zuck.
Remember that she doesn’t want to pleasure him, just step on his male part. So her height is also perfect. And he probably would like it.
Real “She looks like the dyke version of Zuckerberg”.
“Those two would make a great pair”, of what? “Nuts? I think she has more of them than SuckuptoCongressBerg.
How about dressing her up like Stormy Daniels and Zuckerberg like the Terminator? Now that would be a picture to take, for the blind.
It's just as absurd as a 'wagging the dog' meme. May and Macron would not cater to a DjT whim.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. Do we know its birth gender yet?
That’s a woman? (sar.)
Where’s the uranium ? Nothing radio active here ?
Projection: An Alinsky tactic. It is the Leftist Media that is pushing their impeachment narrative to distract President Trump from the more important responsibilities protecting America’s security.
I need some aspirin.
It , her, he whatever the gender assigned to just “presstitute” ...... knows what a socialist democrat piece of polidiot rat crap alinsky would do if such trash was in office ....... Luckily we have Trump.
It’s more like the media is trying to distract from the Presidents agenda by scandalmongering.
What catastrophic domestic scandal? You mean the imaginary, constantly morphing one constantly being pushed by the Democrats and the liberal media?
It certainly is distracting in an investigation of supposed collusion with Russia for Trump to come right up to Russia and bomb one of its prize peons—I mean allies. Bombs the hell out of the fake narrative, too.

President Trump bombed Syria because the IG report came out and said McCabe is a crook and Trump wanted to take that off the front page because it proved him right. Is that it?
The new talking point...
Last night on Judge Pirro’s show, dim strategist Chris Hahn was saying the same thing (wagging the dog, etc.)
