Donald J. Trump: The Empire's Spanker-In-Chief

[image: undefined][image: undefined] The Donald's missile "attack" on Syria's al-Shairat air base is surely the most impetuous, thoughtless, reckless and stupid act from the Oval Office that we can remember — and that covers 50 years at least. And we put "attack" in quotes because it's now evident that virtually every one of those $1.4 million per copy Tomahawks amounted to a big fat nothing-burger. To wit, 36 of the 59 missile were duds and landed somewhere that was not the al-Shairat air base, including a nearby village where apparently a number of civilians were killed. The 23 th... more »

Guest Post By Rep. Ro Khanna-- A Defining Moment For Democrats: Oppose Syria Strikes

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 12 hours ago
*-by Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA)* I am disappointed that President Trump's military strikes in Syria have received bipartisan support as "measured and appropriate." Although many politicians and journalists are encouraging the President to come to Congress before taking more action, few are debating the merits of the strike itself.
