No kidding, my entire life all I’ve seen is republican presidents take us into stupid ass wars.
Why does anybody believe any of these people when they say they want to keep us out of wars?
Did you believe Obama when he said he'd get us out of Iraq/Afghanistan and close Guantanamo Bay? My only sympathy lies is me believing the same shit.
You're right Obama is as bad as Trump so we should all vote Jill Stein than sniff our own farts like they don't stink anymore.
Obama tried to follow the Constitution, and Republicans used every opportunity to disrupt, derail, and corrupt his good faith agenda and policy proposals. I remember distinctly
2 weeks till its done, just like healthcare, tax reform, all of his other plans etc.
When everything is for show, you don’t even have to half-ass it. Some bombs were dropped, some folks died, he got to salute coffins for the camera after looking tough. Mission Accomplished, what’s next?
He wouldn't want that as that means the media going back to the (pedo)files. Time to attack Cuba.
So he has reached all his goals? Or did he forgett what he wanted to do? What is now with the eppstein files?
His goal is to foment Iranian terrorist cells to attack on US soil, thus giving the pretext this regime was looking for to institute martial law or cancel midterms all together.
Also his other goal was to do anything Israel wanted so they don't release all the kompromat of Trump raping children.
If his goal was to take a nation on the verge of revolution and cement the dictatorship for another generation, radicalizing thousands, then mission accomplished.
If you have no goals, it’s just the lols you make along the way!

So now it's a war after all?
Never mind about that, he changed his mind again.
After comments that seemed to suggest President Trump was looking towards an exit from his war with Iran, Trump said in a speech to Republican lawmakers in Florida that “we have won in many ways, but not enough. We go forward more determined than ever to achieve ultimate victory that will end this long-running danger once and for all.”
“They’ve shot everything they have to shoot, and they better not try anything cute or it’s going to be the end of that country.”
He's gonna nuke them, isn't he?
Why wouldn't he? Might makes right in his mind, and he is happy to use the unbridled power to reshape the world.
Someone needs to start the rumor on "Truth" that nukes will make the oil and the gasoline processed from it radioactive and kill Americans at the pump!
He believed "..they are eating the dogs and the cats!.."
That might not even be untrue, the US government poisoned natural gas reserves with nukes before, why not again!
The problem with that is it has to be something that aligns with and reinforces his world view.
Hmmmm. Will have to suss out the angle for that then.
