certainly had a coordinated message today, unlike their coordinated silence during most of Trump's other 'shocking...' 'political decisions'.

Accumulated evidence that he's compromised and they finally see him for what he is? Or...a political amputation because they know indictments and damning reports are out soon and the whole gop sees they need to distance themselves quickly and start acting like they are doing their jobs?

So they are stunned by the Syria decision but are fine with all the other dozens of weird and outrages ones?
