Isn't it a strange coincidence that we are ready to go to war....?

...just as Trump's attorney has his door kicked down in a search warrant??

How do we know that the video we have seen reportedly out of Syria is recent or real? I simply ask that because we have had incidents like the Gulf of Tonkin and wag the dogs where we have been deceived before.

But we have to admit that the timing is very, very strange.

but I am confused because last week the Con was pulling out of Syria with the neo-cons bawling for blood.

some time on war w/ someone - anyone. Problem is, we don't want war and he hasn't convinced us we have an enemy we can all rally around killing. As soon as N. Korea gets close they offer an olive branch. Iran has not made at noise. Syria would have been a good target but Vlad said stay away and Trumpee talked w/drawal. Poor guy, can't pay for good advice.

Trump and the Pro-Putin Deplorables do not give a damn about the Syrian victims.

War will be an excuse to gin up support for an illegitimate occupant of our White House.
