Like others have mentioned, what is news is that Trump ran as the nationalist 'America First' candidate who criticized our involvement in ME wars and threw a fit over any suggestion he supported Iraq and has quite a tweet history of bashing involvement in Syria. It's interesting to see his support shift after this. Nationalist wing nuts like Alex Jones are now upset with him while the more neo-con voices are praising him.

What I find most troubling is that Trump made this decision because of 'horrible images on TV'. I do not want that from my President. Sad shit is on TV all the time it CANNOT deter you from your strategy or core beliefs. And that to me is what doesn't get enough press here. I think this situation is bringing to light the total lack of care principles or strategies this administration has.

I may not agree but if that's your stance own it. Don't change 3 months in because pictures of gassed kids made you sad. Did all the dead kids trying to flee or caught up in bombings not make you sad before. Is gas extra sad? None of it makes sense.

Syrian President Bashar Assad's chemical attack last week was particularly egregious because even Adolf Hitler didn't use chemical weapons in World War II, White House press secretary Sean Spicer inaccurately claimed on Tuesday.

"You had someone as despicable as Hitler who didn't even sink to using chemical weapons," Spicer told reporters during the White House briefing in response to questions about the implications of Assad's chemical attacks.


Hitler used a chemical called Zyklon B to murder prisoners in Nazi concentration camps in World War II.

Heretic;1847076 wrote:This. He was adamant that Obama being involved in Syria was a stupid idea, so he immediately gets involved in Syria because...uh...he watched the news and pictures made him and/or Ivanka sad. Just another fun aspect of politics. Anything the other side does is wrong; anything your side does (even if its the same thing that was "wrong" when the other side did it) is right.

This is what Republican support. This is what Republicans want. Party over country.

The Trump administration is solidifying its base by having the Press Spokesman deny the gassing of Jews. It will win back the alt. right and Richard Spencer supporters offended by the attack on Syria.

And what did Spicer do, show support for the alt. right and Spencerites beliefs first, then back off afterward to appease the media. Saw the same thing when Spicer would not mentions Jews on Holocaust Remembrance Day. It is a dog whistle to the white nationalists.

isadore;1847239 wrote:Hail Trump, tsk obvious effort to use bigoted vulgarity to reply to a fact. Spicer is just following a pattern set by Trump. Like when he refused to reject the support of David Duke, then several days later disavowed it. In all three cases you send out the dog whistle to your white nationalist supporters. Then later deny it to appease the press.
