Trump in 2013: "The President must get Congressional approval before attacking Syria!" (McCain, Iraq)

[It'sAutomatic]

At the time he was criticizing Obama. And now, lo and behold, he authorized Syria strikes without Congressional approval.

There you have it: a man who believes everything he could possibly do is justifiable somehow. He has zero moral backbone whatsoever.

...you think any of these guys/gals have a moral backbone?...they're all cut from the same cloth, or they wouldn't be there..

Sounds normal.
Its often the position of those not in power.
When power changes so do opinions. That is the norm.

Another good example is the last admin.

They were all for transparency until the got into power.
Then they operated in secret as much as possible aided by a lap dog media.

All Presidents find out who really runs the country when they have their inauguration night sit-down with them.

Now on to what Blac China and the Kardashians are doing right now...

Donald J Trump always eventually shows himself to be the ultimate hypocrite. He is a lair, slime ball, and lowlife.

Like all Presidents and 99% of Congress.

And we are learning this morning that General Mattis, a highly decorated Marine Corps General with over 40 years of military experience, urged POTUS Trump to seek congressional approval before firing missiles on Syria.

Trump, a man with no military experience and less than three years of political experience, overruled the 4-star general and decided NOT to obtain congressional approval, because POTUS wanted a "quick and dramatic response."

Unbelievable.

Bush II ran on a policy of non interventionism, Obama stated he was going to end the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, so meet the new boss same as the old boss.

Trumps actions are unremarkable with regards to prior presidents.

He also knows Congress has no backbone and would not enforce any behavioral boundaries.

He should have gotten approval IMO.

Yeah, isn't that depressing.

And if there ever was a politician with a shred of human decency, they'd be gobbled up and spit out by the political machine in seconds.
