Huge blasts heard in Syria's capital: #AFP


Even if the tail is not wagging the dog

Real perception around the globe for why, and particularly WHEN he did this....



Friday 13, April 2018
what a day...

"The perception that @POTUS may have ordered these strikes in part because of scandal will affect the impact and the effectiveness of these military strikes, unavoidably," @maddow said after Trump's Syria remarks. "Even if the tail is not wagging the dog.”

LIARS.

trump and his senior advisors fuxnooze don't care how many get killed.. as long as Comey's book gets buried.

I hope it backfires.

I keep thinking of 9/11 when the derelict bush admin didn't do anything about the intel coming before hand.. and how the country "rallied" round him.

I was in the 10% who didn't.

When I imagine myself in his place, my biggest consideration is the fact the Trump brand was used by 19 companies at its peak, and only 2 companies now pay for that expensive and dubious privilege.

The only thing he had---for a few short years during "The Apprentice" peak---was the ability to sell that fake Trump brand as something classy and wealthy. No more.

Now he's looking to make a name for himself somewhere other than bankrupt casinos, bankrupt branding, and bankrupt public morals. Such desperation is dangerous.

that might keep him out of prison by raising his poll numbers makes him as frantic as a rat on fire.

Trump has already in the past made up a lie and then lied about the lie. That's the kinda of pos he is. Kind of embarrassing for Britain and France to be lured into it. You would think they would have learned from the Iraq War. Yes Syria has a terrible leader and has used weapons on his people for awhile now. But Trump is clearly wagging the dog. This is a easy one.
