Republican Senate Hawks Praise Donald Trump for Bombing Syria

Senator Lindsey Graham and Senator John McCain, two of the biggest critics of President Barack Obama’s failure to act in Syria, issued a joint statement in favor of Trump’s decision.

“Unlike the previous administration, President Trump confronted a pivotal moment in Syria and took action,” they said. “For that, he deserves the support of the American people.”

McCain and Graham urged Trump to consider further action, calling for a strategy to take out Assad’s Air Force, the establishment of safe zones, and supporting Syrian rebels.

“Building on tonight’s credible first step, we must finally learn the lessons of history and ensure that tactical success leads to strategic progress,” he said.

Senator Marco Rubio also supported the action.

They're idiots.  It's slightly better than doing nothing, but it isn't actually going to accomplish anything positive net-net within the region.

It does send a signal to the world at large, and China and Russia in particular, that if they were expecting more of Obozo's waffling, we're fresh out of waffles.

You know the US has become insane today when:

The answer to endless wars is more wars.

The answer to the police state is more tyranny.

The answer to a dead economy is starting a trade war.

The answer to regulations is more laws.

The answer to endless debt is more debt.

Hey rifle, why are you firing blanks? You make a lot of noise, but you just wind up with a lot of brass at your feet and nobody dead or wounded.

Americans would rather attack the messengers who warn of the dangers of tyranny rather than criticize the government that is enslaving them.

One wonders if Snowden regrets throwing away his life by telling about US government abuse to ungrateful Americans.

No doubt the founding fathers are spinning in their graves.

Saving the USA is probably not possible now, but moral Americans should do everything they can to wake up people about the collapse so that they can be prepared and allies when the US Ponzi economy crashes.

The parallels between the rise of Hitler and the USA today are disturbing to say the least.

Sounds more like the proglodytes.

They feel entitled to use violence to silence dissent, demand a disarmed population and centralized power over all facets of life. They even have their hatred others: white people, rich people, Christians, Russia, Israel, etc.

Meanwhile, Trump is dismantling the state.
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

When the American Ponzi economy collapses or you get drafted to fight Russia, China, Iran, or North Korea in WWIII or you get forced to board the trains headed to the concentration camps will you wish that you had defended freedom earlier?

You idea of freedom does not make any of those things less likely to happen, in the long run.

Which kind of surrender do your prefer, French, Italian, or thousand islands?

The future looks grim.

The government has been taken over by the elites. There is no stopping tyranny now. The 1% will go all the way to start a civil war and launch WWIII while bankrupting and enslaving the whole world.

Americans are stupid cowards and deserve everything coming to them.

Here's what to expect:

Americans will be forced to get a national ID card, passports will be revoked, and domestic travel permits will be required.

Every American will be required to submit a DNA sample, give fingerprints, get microchip implants, and be registered in a facial scan database.

Internet filters will first be required on all computers, mobile phones will be banned, and then the Internet will be shut down.

Free speech and protests will be illegal.

Reporters will be arrested.

Government loudspeakers will be installed on street corners to broadcast propaganda.

Newspapers, magazines, and TV and radio stations will be closed.

Churches will be closed.

Books will be burned.

All guns will be required to be registered and then banned.

Wiretapping will increase.

Neighborhood watch groups will be set up, undercover police will be everywhere, and warrantless home searches will become routine.

Taxes will be raised.

Cash will be banned, there will be negative interest rates, bank fees, bail-ins, capital controls, and gold will be outlawed.

Private property will be banned.

Torture and extra-judicial assassinations will become routine. Government drones and robots will patrol everywhere.

Lawyers will be arrested.

Elections will be canceled, juries will be banned, courts will have show trials, and congress will be eliminated.

Americans will be required to wear uniforms and attend study sessions. Concentration camps will be opened and Americans will be starved and killed.

The US will look like North Korea does today.

Since everything was illegal in the Soviet Union, Russians just gave up and the USSR collapsed.

Those who fail to learn history will be doomed to repeat it.
