Disheartening to see the parade of legislators and pundits all heaping praise on Trump for the air strikes last night

There've been some good takes, but those weren't highlighted much. Chris Hayes, for example, was buried on msnbc at 1am despite knowing more than most of the buffoons they put on there that have been consistently wrong throughout the years. then there's the leftist twitter warriors who were very, very wrong about trump being 'anti-war'.

not sure if you saw this piece, td, but i think you'd enjoy it

Ambassador Haley allows as to how "we took a measured step, and are prepared to do more" in Syria, but that "that will not be necessary"

Did they boo her too? She might need to get used to that, and that was a bizarre scene.

Pathetic that drumpfco is leaning so hard & heavy on the notion that it "is doing what Obama would not"

Obama would have done with any authorization from Congress because y'know, he's heard of the Constitution. The craven Rs like asslick Bob Corker who're all just fine with drumpf's willy-nilly minidick waving should make any adult vomit

Why is the word "decisive" being used to describe this asstantrum? What's "decisive" about it, precisely?

Very Bush-like, ain't it? He's the decider, and makes the best decisions.

If that was Hillary Clinton who did this, would we have been told it was an emotional decision?

I agree with Trump, our media is a joke. Authorize a remote air strike and wave the flag and all is forgiven.

it's very dispiriting to see the TV news just roll over. there are a lot of other outlets that are not and have broader audiences than they had during the Iraq War. I remain hopeful.

Hillary just attacked Syria. She must have been bleeding out of her eyes, bleeding out of her, wherever.

David Frum wrote:As President, Donald Trump benefits from two inbuilt biases of mainstream pundits:
Bias 1 favors fair-mindedness: the wish to offer tips of the hat along with shakes of the finger. This bias exerts itself extra strongly with a bad actor like Trump. The worse he does, the more eagerly the pundit seeks something to praise. We’ve all experienced this. “There has to be something good to say about Trump. Even Hitler liked dogs!"

Bias 2 is the bias in favor of surprise and novelty. Pundits don’t want - bookers won’t book - endless repeats of “He’s a liar & a crook." How much more interesting to say: “He’s a liar and a crook, but …” How boring to insist that the first part must always overwhelm the latter. And so TV punditry flits from one seemingly clever (but actually deeply false) pivot to another, chasing insight & missing truth. This is the one great advantage of Fox over more normal TV punditry. Committed to one big story, they don’t have to keep devising subplots. No demand there to say, “President Obama may be a secret Muslim socialist, but Michelle is right about school lunches.”

Tweet storm I edited into two paragraphs.

david frum found a war he didnt want to market?

but, that's pretty good stuff

So a guy I work with asked why Assad did the gas strike in the first place. I said that many are saying it was due to Tillerson's comments. Then the guy pointed out that it's hard to believe Assad wouldn't know that Trump would HAVE to react to a chemical weapon.

So wouldn't Assad have to know Trump would react? Wouldn't he have to know Trump would have to do something or risk looking weak?

It's really hard to figure out why all the actors acted as they did in this thing. Usually everyone will act in their best interest, but it seems like several did not in this case.

by **jamiethekiller** » Fri Apr 07, 2017 15:44:06

or you can go with that Assad didn't do the chemical attack and this was the rebels forcing us into the frey

Don't kid yourself. It was Obama ordered from his secret Kenyan lair.

i'm going with bannon as the false-flagger
