Yeah. Russia and Putin are already set up as hot buttons ( in Germany too ) . Why not pushing it.

Very bad is, that parts of the citizenship are buying this crap. Normally, the Masters of the Universe should not even be trying to make the story up. They have been experimenting for a while how far they can go. I fear the worst.

Going into Syria would be a colossal mistake and just show that we are indeed condemned to repeat history.

The one thing Trump made sense with was going after the Bushes on the Iraq disaster. Don't flip flop.

[EricaLubarsky]

America-- particularly the deep state of America loves war-- even proxy wars with Russia. Heck, we've had a couple already (Afghanistan, Korea, Vietnam). There's a reason both GOP and Dems love this new war. War may actually be the only thing that unites the entrenched of both parties.

Russia sees that a power vacuum is awful (Iraq's got us ISIS) and supports Assad. Ships in billions of dollars in weapons. USA hates Assad and ships in billions of dollars in weapons to oppose. Assad uses chemical agents and now it's really on. Only losers are everyone in Syria (tens of thousands dead, millions have become refugees, all refused asylum here) and the tax payers paying for it all (our small volley of 50 Tomahawks cost 1.41 million each)

At least Trump and Hillary are friends now. America is united.

[sefant77]

Imagine how many refugees you could save with this money

[EricaLubarsky]

Russian warships are heading toward the ship that launched our missiles.

Russians leaked info on the attack to the Syrians. We spent 90 million to bomb a sidewalk.

I'm glad we're starting another proxy war.

Robert Reich's post on FB for the people in denial...

Update for Trump voters.
1. He said he wouldn’t bomb Syria. You bought it. Then he bombed Syria.
2. He said he'd build a wall along the border with Mexico. You bought it. Now his secretary of homeland security says "It’s unlikely that we will build a wall."
3. He said he’d clean the Washington swamp. You bought it. Then he brought into his administration more billionaires, CEOs, and Wall Street moguls than in any administration in history, to make laws that will enrich their businesses.
4. He said he’d repeal Obamacare and replace it with something “wonderful.” You bought it. Then he didn’t.
5. He said he’d use his business experience to whip the White House into shape. You bought it. Then he created the most chaotic, dysfunctional, back-stabbing White House in modern history, in which no one is in charge.
6. He said he’d release his tax returns, eventually. You bought it. He hasn’t, and says he never will.
7. He said he’d divest himself from his financial empire, to avoid any conflicts of interest. You bought it. He remains heavily involved in his businesses, makes money off of foreign dignitaries staying at his Washington hotel, gets China to give the Trump brand trademark and copyright rights, manipulates the stock market on a daily basis, and has more conflicts of interest than can even be counted.
8. He said Clinton was in the pockets of Goldman Sachs, and would do whatever they said. You bought it. Then he put half a dozen Goldman Sachs executives in positions of power in his administration.
9. He said he’d surround himself with all the best and smartest people. You bought it. Then he put Betsy DeVos, opponent of public education, in charge of education; Jeff Sessions, opponent of the Voting Rights Act, in charge of voting rights; Ben Carson, opponent of the Fair Housing Act, in charge of fair housing; Scott Pruitt, climate change denier, in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency; and Russian quisling Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State.
10. He said he’d faithfully execute the law. You bought it. Then he said his predecessor, Barack Obama, spied on him, without any evidence of Obama ever doing so, in order to divert attention from the FBI's investigation into collusion between his campaign and Russian operatives to win the election.
11. He said he knew more about strategy and terrorism than the generals did. You bought it. Then he promptly gave the green light to a disastrous raid in Yemen- even though all his generals said it would be a terrible idea. This raid resulted in the deaths of a Navy SEAL, an 8-year old American girl, and numerous civilians. The actual target of the raid escaped, and no useful intel was gained.
12. He called Barack Obama “the vacationer-in-Chief” and accused him of playing more rounds of golf than Tiger Woods. He promised to never be the kind of president who took cushy vacations on the taxpayer’s dime, not when there was so much important work to be done. You bought it. He has by now spent more taxpayer money on vacations than Obama did in the first 3 years of his presidency. Not to mention all the money taxpayers are spending protecting his family, including his two sons who travel all over the world on Trump business.
13. He called CNN, the Washington Post and the New York Times “fake news” and said they were his enemy. You bought it. Now he gets his information from Fox News, Breitbart, Gateway Pundit, and InfoWars.
More to come.

@kylegriffin1: Trump's been in office 85 days.

He's visited a Trump property 31 of those days.

He's visited a golf course 18 of those days.

Build wall on Mexico border because of drug criminals.

Canada to legalize weed.

Whoops.

They bring in much more than weed. And many are very dangerous. Many rapists. Other than an improved health care system, the wall is big time. Schmuck Schumer trying to stop it from happening.

You are a wonderful human being with ideas that do not match up with reality

btw who is going to actually BUILD your stupid wall without construction workers from mexico and central-/southamerica? Or all the other "great" infrastructure projects?

Have fun with finding enough qualified "americans" for this job.

hey but maybe this is just FAKE NEWS, huh? http://www.reuters.com/article/us-us...-idUSKCN11C0F7

Other than an improved health care system

Yeah, that first "try" was an awesome improvement...rofl

I just want to know if the Mexico haters actually gave a crap before Trump said build a wall during the primaries.

Have you encountered many Mexicans? Have you been to Mexico? Do you have statistical proof that our borders are just deadly infected with scum and that modern American society is rotting because of it?

What happens with these blanket "build wall" and "they're just a bunch of criminals bringing crime across the border" ideals is that they inevitably breed mass racism. Totally unnecessary racism to boot.

And wow, rapists. Really? America has a huge rape culture already implanted in our society and guess what...it's not because of the Mexicans. You can look at our own military if you really want to know what systemic rape looks like amongst female soldiers.

I have no issues with Immigrants. As long as they come through the legal way. Democrats seem to not understand this simple idea. Obviously, way more illegals come through Mexico than Canada. The cartels are no joke.

THERE IS NO SIMPLE OR EASY PATH FOR THESE PEOPLE TO BECOME CITIZENS OR ELSE THEY WOULD. It takes years to even be considered for citizenship and you need a US sponsor (family or work) to have even a chance at it. Even then, it's a crap shoot and it's not completely clear what exactly you have to do. Just google it, and you'll see how ridiculous it is.

And you know damn well the Repubs won't do a thing to make becoming a citizen easier.

It's not supposed to be easy. We can't afford the whole world migrating over here. It's unfair for the legal immigrants to allow illegal immigrants to stay here. It's like cutting in line. Illegal immigrants are 3x more likely to commit crimes. I support some ideas of Democrats. But strongly against illegals.

Fake news. I said many are rapists. The ones that come here illegally have already broken the law. They need to go back to whatever country they belong. Not just the Mexicans.

And most aren't... But generalizing an entire group of people is a lot easier than having to think about things, huh?

The ones that come here illegally have already broken the law.

They're only here illegally because the people you vote for have made it nearly impossible for them to be here legally... All your relatives had to do was show up.

For perspective, since 9/11, a total of 435 people have died both inside the US and in foreign countries from terrorism, putting the per-year casualty count at about 28 per year (4 a year within the USA).

Fix Their Problems

There is no creature in American politics more puzzled over by Democrats than the angry, forgotten Trump voter. How can we reach them? How should we speak to them? Here’s a wild idea: fix their problems.
.
.
This election was an eruption of anti-establishment sentiment—personified in not just Trump, but also Bernie Sanders’ strong showing—from all sides of the political spectrum. This election was what happens after more than 30 years of growing economic inequality, stagnant wages, a great recession, and the inability of working people to live better lives than their parents did. Both Democrats and Republicans had decades to change that dynamic, and neither of them did. Hence rage, and a “Fuck the World” president. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Now, everyone is worried about the crazy president. But the problems that led to the crazy man being elected president are still here.

[sefant77]

Does the orange potato has any clue about anything?

That great big orange buffoon just congratulated a veteran for getting his leg blown off in Afghanistan. EDIT: Some people are confused (as confused as Trump, it seems) about what a Purple Heart is and why wouldn't you say "Congratulations" for receiving it. Well, as Wikipedia explains: "The Purple Heart is a United States military decoration awarded in the name of the President to those wounded or killed while serving". You don't congratulate someone when you're giving them this. You thank them. You thank them for their sacrifice.
