Ha! You just reminded me of this scene from Slingblade:

So yes, after what Trump did yesterday you can imagine how much we all want our $25 back.
Libertas:
More disturbing news...
1) Bill Kristol's E-GOP publishing house finds someone to sing Trump's praises for this stunt...
http://www.weeklystandard.com/the-strike-at-syria/article/2007579
What dreck! Elliott Abrams just pissed away what respect I had left for him! What ludicrous BS! Syria, unless they were given sh*tloads of help...posses no threat to us...zero. He totally forgets the same people he has aligned himself with are the same fricken people who said Bush lied about WMDs in Iraq or any of them escaping into Syria...as well as the last Regime who's stellar NSA said she removed the threat of chemical weapons from Syria...and who are all now acting like this pin-prick of an act demonstrates the presidential stature of Trump where none existed until these million dollar missiles were lobbed at the end of an intact runway?
Up yours, Elliott! ::vafancoul::
2) The sacking of those who put Trump in appears to be proceeding...

And what prompted this break with Bannon? Oh, I dunno...pissing on the Freedom Caucus? Trying to save ObamatardCare?
This is looking like W redux? Maybe W-lite redux! ::outrage::
3) Farage, Coulter, Milo...the ranks of the disappointed swell...

4) The are not the allies I want to win over!

5) And yeah...I understand why Bibi is happy...
http://iotwreport.com/hope-these-airstrikes-will-be-heard-from-iran-to-north-korea-netanyahu/
...but I hold Iran and the Norks apart from a neutered Syria...I would be perfectly fine leaving this sh*t in Russia's lap...or more importantly...in Europe's...
...if those EuroPussies ever were to fight their own battles on their own dime and with their own blood! Wouldn't that be different?!?!?! ::cussing::
6) More proximity, more chances for errors...

Whatever...i wash my hands of this mess!
And while I am not going to get my knickers twisted too out of shape...we all knew we would be getting a mixed bag of tricks with Trump...I just didn't see him grabbing ankles for the statist global war machine like this...
Oh well, he got himself into this sh*t, he can get himself out...

Here's another POV.
I'm inclined to believe Trump was tricked, either by ISIS or the deep state. Occam's razor, you know.
Glock32:
Oh I think he's definitely been cowed by the Deep State. Who knows what they threatened him with. It's just rather interesting that this comes right on the heels of Bannon being removed from the directorate of the National Security Council, and now rumors that he may be fired. Meanwhile Trump's son in law -- by all accounts a lifelong Democrat -- is the golden boy who is virtually un-fireable since he's daughter's husband.
So far it appears that instead of Draining the Swamp, the swamp is draining him.
Libertas:
It's pure genius...effing over those who put you in...sticking your business into somebody else's backyard...thinking you won't be a one-and-done...
Yeah, effing brilliant.
Oh well, if we make it to 2020 just be another D-MC fustercluck to resume flushing us down the toilet faster...
It's hard to GAFF many days, isn't it?
