Although I am curious what 59 missiles directed at an airfield was supposed to accomplish. I don't wanna get in another middle East conflict but, at the same time, the United States can't take the lead from behind position that Obama championed for years. That position has made the world much less safe. What's done is done. If Russia and the middle east want to come after us let them it's not like they need another excuse. They are coming for us whether we did this or not. Depending on the measures they take it will end very badly for them long term as our reaction will be calculated and measured.
You mean back when Obama felt the need to ask congress for a authorization for him to do so? And Trump went on and on about how it would be a mistake to attack?

And its awesome how you make it sound like Syria is coming for us. Sheesh. What a mess

Each Tomahawk carries a 1000 pound warhead.
59, 1000 pound bombs will do tremendous damage to an airfield and any aircraft that happen to be there.

America spent probably $85M in the operation. A fairly modern fighter jet costs around $50M, so the whole thing cost Assad plenty.
And now he knows not to do that again.

Nero was not in Rome when it burned, but he hustled back when he heard and worked to assist victims.

The violin was not invented until 1300 years later.

See how easy it is to start a rumor?

Nope. Hes doing exactly the same I would do...
He's doing things my father, my business partners have done, that I have done. Instead of putting himself and his company first, its our country. Doesn't make sense now. Wait for it.
Look at the elections.
All the polls that said Hillary would have a land slide victory.
Look at who campaigned for him, the media promoted him in trying to bash him every chance they could.

This isn't a business where back dealing, and betrayal end with you being in charge. This is a country. not a company. And this is why his leadership is failing so badly. People who think they are smart, but aren't.
Him going dictator? Nah. Not a chance.
You're right in that I'm cheering him on. 100%.

Difference between a country and company? Excusable to halt progress, be ran ineffective and at the expense of the tax payer.

Boohoo all you want about the security detail at Mar A Largo, or because his wife isn't in the white house. I'd bet that security detail is pennies in comparrison to what the "Russian collusion" investigation costs...

I'd like to see the end of the great red menace and how Russia is the world's boogey man because some DNC staffer had alarming content in his emails exposed. But we'll carry on like fools because muh popular vote! And muh emails hacked! Neglecting paying Sanders off to sit the bench, and the numerous shady stuff the beast has done... Neglecting where you went wrong...

What? 4 bankruptcies out of how many other busineses he ran? Grabbin kitty? Saying mean things?

I'd like to end the whole great red menace thing, dissolve NATO, tag team ISIS with Russia, clean the middle east of those johnny jihads. And end the globalist crap. That would be great.

How did that work out for you????
Fortunately we ended up with a man who loves America, unlike the last Muslim POS. Trump is doing a good job and it's only going to get better.
Great job dropping 60 Tomahawks on the sand diggers... Things are looking up...
