I love Trump, voted for him, was one of the first FReepers to fully get behind him. But he is simply wrong on this. Just totally wrong.

[Trump20162020]

I hear you. I don't regret my vote right now or anything, but this is definitely the first thing he's done as President that makes me mad.

The fact that Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Bill Kristol, Lindsey Graham,Paul Ryan, The Washington Post, etc. are all happy with Trump right now, should be a huge red flag to the President.

I really do feel Assad & Co. will be departing Syria tonight, to a nice mansion/compound or a desert encampment. What’s your gut?

Things worked out so well in Iraq & Libya, what could possibly go wrong here?

As long as President Trump calls it a POLICE action like they did in Korea, he doesn’t need congressional approval if memory serves. One of BIL served in Korea.

The Obama administration promised there were NO more chemical weapons in Syria. Today, Syrian children are dying, attacked without warning. Here’s what we know.

Assad already fully supports Hezbollah, the bunch that blew up a Jewish center in Argentina and has already been active south of the border training narcoterrorists...with the help of Cuba. And he was more than happy to support ISIS back when he thought they would be too busy fighting American troops to threaten him.

All boils down to who are you going to trust more Dirty Rice, Traitor DUMBO, or President Trump?
