    So much for the demleft mythology of Trump/Russia....as Trump attacks the regime Putin has made no bones about allying with.



    Op-Ed: Trump just yanked the Russia card right out of Democrats’ hands



    What a difference 24 hours and 59 Tomahawk missiles can make.

    Yesterday if you mentioned the words "Russia and Trump," you were probably having a conversation about the enduring allegations that the Russians somehow colluded with the Trump campaign and that they somehow tipped the 2016 election.

    Donald Trump [/a] broke with Russia in his decision to respond to the alleged Syrian nerve gas assault on its own people with Thursday night's missile strike.

    Vladimir Putin [/a] is going to be much harder to promote. An independent President Trump is harder to completely tear down than a man supposedly being remote-controlled by the Kremlin... no matter what he does.

    It was always bullshit.

    If Hillary would have drunk a little less, been a little less insulting to much of America and picked Bernie for Veep, she'd be president. She is a drunk, a liar, an insulter and generally very poor candidate. That's why she lost, but rather than admit that, they want to pretend that "it was the Russians!"

    Pathetic!

    Who cares?

    The Trump/Russia investigation is still going to be an albatross that dogs Trump's Presidency until all the facts (and guilty parties) are thoroughly vetted.

    I am afraid it's much less simplistic than that.

    It could be that Putin is tired with Assad and wants to pass him a message.

    That's assuming, of course, the chem attack wasn't a false flag one.

    If Putin was prevented a half hour before the attack, why he didn't relay the info to Assad?

    Sorry if I bother you with actual rational questionning, if that's the case.

    Nice total avoidance of the very valid points he made opting to attack the messenger, Alinski.

    Trumpbots know they are in a weak position when they keep posting the same memes in all the threads hoping to trigger a response because they are already triggered because they can't argue the facts of the existence of the FBI investigation, House & Senate investigations. Even the CIA might be covertly working on this one. I understand their fears however because it will actually de-legitimise their irrational dreams.

    I've heard this dozens of times in the last days.

    Kind of makes me wonder if this bombing wasn't just a political ploy.

    Trump attackers know they cannot dispute the actual facts as their mythological Clinton/Crowdstrike Liespeak nonsense about Trump/Russia continues to unravel so they attack the very apt illustrations repeatedly used to show their true colors, while completely failing to effectively refute a single point mad, while trying to pretend that the burgeoning Obama illegal political spying exposure will "just go away".

    Indeed. And you can tell how panicked the deplorables are that their great orange hope is going down that they are happy to use the attack in Syria as some delusional proof that there's 'nothing to see here, folks, move along' when it comes to his Russia connections.
    It's just as likely that they colluded in this stunt, but in any case, it's irrelevant to the larger issue of what Trump's people and the Russians got up to during the election and since. There is definitely something rotten there, and not in the best interests of the US.

    Bill Clinton was accused of bombing All Qaeda training camps to distract from the Lewinsky scandal. How is this any different?

    Reduced to blithering nonsense:

    O’Donnell, incidentally, still has his own show on MSNBC. He spent a long while elaborating his reading of the situation on the show last night. “I raise [my theory] without assigning a statistical probability to it,” he explained.

    So Assad conducts a random chemical attack on his own people.
    Donald Trump launches almost $100,000,000 worth of cruise missiles to take down a few buildings but leaves the airstrip intact.
    Russia loses nothing but gains another reason to keep their military-industrial complex running at full-steam.
    Trump looks "presidential" in some people's eyes.
    It takes his Admin's collusion with Russia out of the pages for a few days.

    Yeah... there's no way this could've been prearranged.

    Dream on.

    This does nothing to relieve Trump of Manafort, Flynn, and the rest and the lies they've told to cover up...

    What is it you suppose they're trying to cover up?

    If you you hooked Trump up to a polygraph it would explode, and he's cheated on then dumped every wife he had.

    He's got the morals of a pig.

    And, as you pointed out somewhere else, why didn't Putin used his 30min warning to warn Assad in return before the strike?

    It,s impossible to talk about these matters, who get flood under a wave of "but Hillary's e-mails..."
