Syria Bombing. Your Opinion?

He'd promised to get rid of Obamacare, and utterly and completely failed. He failed so hard it left a crater. First they tried the old bait-and-switch and attempted to shift it from "get rid of" to "repeal and replace", which is not what we voted for... but still, it would have been a promise half-fulfilled. He couldn't even get there, and at the first sign of trouble just shrugged and walked off from it. Didn't even put up a token fight. Now, personally I don't care of they repeal, replace, recycle, rejuvenate, repurpose, relate, regulate, regurgitate, or relegate Obamacare. I don't care what they do with it at all... just as long as they get rid of that unconstitutional and totalitarian "individual mandate" that tries to force you into Obamacare for simply committing the crime of being alive. Without that, I just don't give two shits about Obamacare - as long as I'm not forced to participate in it, which I find to be unconscionable and morally reprehensible. I don't care if they take it into the back yard and set it on fire with gas, and I don't care if they put it on the mantelpiece to collect dust. If I'm not enslaved into it, I don't give a fat rat's ass what they do with it.

Still, he utterly, completely, dismally and WILLFULLY failed to keep that campaign promise, which is one of the biggies that got his ass elected in the first place. It's why I voted for him. I want my vote back - he's abusing it.

Now - and this is another biggie, the subject of the thread -  he also promised to keep us safe from ISIS, and he's utterly and completely failing at that, too. You don't win a war by putting up a token resistance to your enemy and then bombing the crap out of the only other folks trying to ace that same enemy too. They call those folks "natural allies", and it's considered bad form to blow them up when "trying to win" a war. At the very least, if he had a beef with Russia or Syria, he ought to have let them slog it out with ISIS, and then mopped up the considerably weakened victor of THAT contest, not handed ISIS a victory by splitting up their opposition and then causing that split opposition to attack itself. That is a "divide and conquer" strategy handed to ISIS with a bow and wrapped in some My Little Pony gift wrapping paper. He ought to send them some chocolate and flowers to go along with it.

He fell right into place with the "Assad Did It" crowd without any analysis whatsoever - just bought the bullshit they were selling, and even paid extra for royalty fees on the "It's for the children" buzz line they always use when they're bending you over the barrel to pop it to you.

If he's looking for another vote here in 2020, he'd damned well better get with the program, and I mean really, REALLY soon. If he fucks up just one more time, that vote is going to be irretrievable to him. I'll vote for a card-carrying communist first - at least you know what you're getting there, and there won't be any bait-and-switch shenanigans.

Now, I'm starting to wonder what the hell we've actually gotten with Gorsuch, given Trump's record of being unable to pick winners, and I'm also starting to wonder when the other shoe is going to drop with the "departure" from the TPP... I'm waiting for Trump to just pop up and yell "JUST KIDDING! It's all really still there!"

I just don't know at this point whether to brush up on my Arabic or my Spanish, because with the race that's being run, I don't know which he is going to invite to invade us in force first.

Thank you for replying @Ninurta.  

As for the Obama Care Repeal, I just saw that they are still working on a repeal or replace plan, so I don't think Trump just "walked off".
That's good news.  

Quote:House Freedom Caucus chairman Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) tells Breitbart News exclusively that he expects House Republicans will unite around common principles and pass an Obamacare repeal and replace bill that lowers premiums for Americans soon—delivering President Donald Trump a major victory in the Congress’s lower chamber.
Meadows, a pro-Trump conservative leader in the House who stuck with the president throughout the entire campaign, is confident that renewed negotiations—with the help of senior White House officials—with House GOP leaders and House Republican moderates is likely to produce real results in the House.

Meadows told Breitbart News on Tuesday afternoon:

“I’m optimistic that we’ve at least found some potential common ground. Conservative requests and those from those that represent districts that may have a more moderate constituency don’t want to suggest anything other than the discussions have been extremely good over the last 72 hours and the pre-existing conditions that must be addressed on behalf of the president and certainly most members of our GOP conference including myself, that issue is where we’re working very diligently to make sure we cover it in the legislation but then we also cover it in a number of ways whether it be through a risk-sharing pool or through a guaranteed issue provision that’s out there.

“So, we still believe providing waivers at the state level from many of the Obamacare mandates that drive up costs might be a real path forward so I would say that conversations between moderates and conservatives are very constructive and it’s been due in no small part to the active involvement of the White House and leadership in trying to make sure we get a good bill—a better bill—going forward over to the Senate.”

Now to the Syria incident...

Alex Jones had Michael Savage on his show yesterday, and he feels the same way as you, me, and a whole bunch of others, and he's planning on meeting with Trump to tell him.  Alex said the President likes Savage and listens to his opinion, so maybe he can get through to him.

Here is a video of yesterday's show with Savage, starting at the 3:54 mark.

Let's hope SOMEONE can get through to President Trump before the Neocons take us under! tinycrying
