Remember how Trump blasted Obama for golfing during a crisis? [U.S. strikes Syrian airbase as Trump signals an end to patience with Assad](http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article143250219.html) > [@](#): > > Speaking emotionally from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump condemned Tuesday’s deadly chemical attack on the town of Khan Sheikhoun by the Syrian government that killed at least 86 people, including at least 30 children. > > “It was a slow and brutal death for so many. Even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered in this very barbaric attack. No child of God should ever suffer such horror,” Trump said. “Tonight I ordered an airstrike on the air field in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched.” The attack was Tuesday. He couldn’t cancel his fucking “vacation” just once? Beautiful babies? Children of God? The same children that a few weeks ago were deadly terrorists that had to be kept out? Fucker. ---

Who had “11 weeks” in the “Trump Going to War” pool? And speaking of 11 weeks, [Trump told reporters on Air Force One](http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/trump-most-successful-13-weeks-presidency)"I think we’ve had one of the most successful 13 weeks in the history of the presidency", which suggests that his counting skills are on par with the rest of his abilities. ---

What a bunch of morons in this thread. Assad and Syria used weapons of mass destruction against civilians. And you dumb fucks blame Trump. I also notice that none of you hypocrites who blame Trump for war mongering have anything constructive to suggest to stop Assad. Its time to grow up and be strong against those who use WMD against their own people. ---

Yes, we must step in and start bombing in order to stop [del]Saddam Hussein[/del] Assad from using WMDs. That is what “being strong” looks like. The rest of the world will totally respect us for this action, and it will completely prevent Assad from doing this ever again. There will be no serious negative consequences to this action. The fact that we effectively warned the targets in advance we were going to do this in no way diminishes the awesomeness of this bombing. ---

But I’m not about to condemn everything he does just because it’s him. This was the right action, and I’m actually pleasantly surprised by his quick 180. ---

Its time to grow up and be strong against those who use WMD against their own people. Bad leaders do bad things to their people every day in the world. Are we seriously expected to bomb the shit out of every single one of them? Assad’s been doing bad shit for years; Trump, under Obama, said we should do nothing; why the sudden change of heart? Those “beautiful babies of God” should have the hope of finding refuge on our shores as an escape from Assad’s brutality; it’s not our job to “stop Assad” and every other bad guy in the world, but we can be decent fucking human beings and give refuge to the people fleeing him. As it now stands, Trump’s plan is to lob another firecracker into the hornets nest and then lock our doors as the people getting stung come screaming for help. ---

The difference is, the dead babies washing up on shore were trying to infect the world with their ideology.

I’m sure Trump will piss me off shortly by trying to blame the March jobs report on Obama, after trying to take credit for the favorable report in February. Most people wouldn’t even try, but most people aren’t thick-headed cretins like Cheeto Mussolini. ---

No nuclear holocaust, there’s no cannibals in the streets, the sky still only turns blood red for an hour or so a day, and the hellmouth has stayed closed. Actually much more successful than I was expecting by this time. And I don’t know that we need to correct him on the 11 weeks, 13 weeks thing. At this rate, he’ll think that his 208 weeks in office is up after only 170 or so.
